Hi,
I just bought the Motorola BT keyboard ans mouse, but i noticed a bug when i try the option find on page (menu key + f), When i use this option it will only search throughthe text that is on screen, so for a example, if I open the forum page from XDA and i look for "Galaxy Nexus" it says no match, because the text i search is almost all the way down.
When i try it without the keyboard, it search through the whole page.
I'm using the official motorola ICS build.
Someone knows how can i solve this problem?
Thanks

Hi Guys,
I've just upgraded to DA Mobile 6 Release 5 RC1 rom and its working great, but only one minor problem.
ON the last WM5 rom, I could use the on screen keypad to type out a text message, rather than the qwerty on screen or the pad ( i had grown rather used to it).
I cant see the option for using the keypad input anywhere at all in any of the menus.
IS this feature not including in the rom, or am I just being dumb and missing it?
Regards
Goldfish
r u referring to XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 RC1?
your question is kind of jumbled. are you trying to use the on screen keyboard or the hardware keyboard on your device?

Try this out. Touch KeyPad/KeyBoard(Freeware)
ahhh, i get the ? now.
another one is the pocket keyboard, www.pocketcm.com
what i don't understand on both the one werd suggested and pocketkb is why they didn't put a period (.) on the main keyboard instead of having to go somewhere else, it's a hassle when using it to type a web address.
edit: actually just noticed on pocketcm website you are able to configure the keyboard layout, maybe it can be changed to add a period...anywho i don't use either, my fingers are too big lol
thanks for replying guys, sorry my message was a bit garbled.
I tried the touch keypad, but still cannot get the alpha numberical keypad
just like the one in the image under title Touch keyboard v1.0 Description
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-touch-keyboard-v1-0.html
Turn off one touch symbol presses in options. then create a new text message
tried that, didnt make a difference.
After installing touch keyboard, i get the same keyboard lay out on screen, no matter if i pick keypad or keyboard.
beginning to think that the rom may have got corrupted and needs re flashed
you have to be in a spot where you can enter text or else it shows the default keyboard man, that's why i said create a new text message. just read the comments on that page i linked if you have to
I turned off auto substitution and that seemed to fix it.
guys your all great, thanks for the help

Try either of these. I think they will give you what you are looking for... T9 Keypad SIP. The first is English only. The second has lots of international languages.
hi
the on screen keyboard keeps popping up when web browsing/emailing/texting, can i stop this as it's really annoying i want to use the keyboard else i wouldn't have paid the extra for it ... =)
thanks
Google and download "advanced config" for diamond/touch pro you will find an option to disable virtual keyboard auto poping. It works great, excepted in opera :/
Or just follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422617.
Hi there, I've been googling but couldn't find any app which I could use as a Virtual Keyboard. When I use Opera 10 and if there is any flash content and if I want to put some text into textbox I'm not able to do that because nothing comes up. When I use Internet Explorer it's okay because there is keyboard button so i tap on it and i can write. So then, I am looking for app which will pop up keyboard , so i could use it when its needed. Or if there is any exe file which is suitable for showing the keyboard so i could use it as left softkey (press and hold).

Seriously, top right hand side of the page, learn to use it.
did you by any chance download the version of Opera for phones with a keyboard? there's 2 versions of Opera mini 10 for winmob. 1 for keys with no onscreen and one for touch with onscreen keys.
Hello! Colemak typist here.
Can you change the layout of the keyboard? I don't mind about the physical layout, just the software mapping. I have no idea how he keyboard is handled so could someone kindly work out if this is possible? And if Colemak is available?
Thanks!
Nobody with a keyboard who can quickly check this out for me?
If you don't get a reply shout me tonight and ill give it a go.
hmmmm. cant see anything that allows keyboard remapping in the settings.... which is a shame as my @ and " are not as per the layout ... which is odd .....
Could always try button remapper beta off the market. I don't know if it will work on the dock keyboard but I could remap some of the keys using a usb keyboard on my viewsonic g tab. Something to try at least.

One way to do it is go to this website to get a general idea about remapping. Then download the KeyTest.apk from the author.
When you start the app you can see which scancodes are created. Now go to /system/usr/keylayout (most likely requires root) and change the keyboard layout that is associated with your keyboard. If you don't know, download aLogCat from the market. When you connect a keyboard it will show up in the log. For special characters and shortcuts modify the appropriate keychar table in /system/usr/keychars.
Hope that helps. It worked on my XOOM for a generic BT keyboard that had lots of Apple keys.
Wonderful. Thankyou all for your helpful posts! Very glad to know there is a way to do this, even if it is not an official option.
Thanks again.

You need to change the software keyboard to the ASUS one in order to get correct layout on dock keyboard.
As a follow up post - I got a transformer with dock. Downgraded to 8.2.3.9, rooted and found the keyboard layout in /usr/xt9/keylayout/qwerty-en_GB.kl. I edited by hand (thankfully it's a lovely human readable text file) and now am enjoying colemak! Woot!
I might write a little how-to so that anyone can do it quickly and easily.
Hi all,
when using my TF with dock I bumped into a problem - the keyboard dock does not work well with 3rd party input methods (e.g. Go keyboard thumb layout). I was looking for an app or some other way to auto-switch current input method when docking/undocking.
When searching and googling I found a guide to auto-display input method chooser dialog when docked/undocked (Here).
Another related guide was about re-mapping keys on the dock keyboard (Here)
Well, my aim is to create an overall keyboard utility that would enable easy keyboard auto-switching and possibly re-mapping less useful keys (e.g. brightness) to something more practical.
I've started working on the application (well, spent a few hours over two evenings ), at the moment it is very simplistic. I just replicates the behavior from the Tasker guide, so that it shows the input method chooser dialog after docking and undocking (plus a config to enable/disable this). I did not want to purchase Tasker just for this.
I know that it is an intentional android security measure that apps cannot switch input methods at will, but if someone has an idea how to overcome this (for rooted devices), please, let me know.
Anyway, here is an initial version. Hopefully, someone else besides me will find it useful. Any comments, suggestions highly appreciated!
Thanks for the effort.
I consider this app as very useful. Unfortunately I cannot help you developing because I'm just a user but again the idea is great.

I use tasker and confirm this works the same.
Your app does have 1 big advantage over tasker. With tasker everytime I close the tab&dock into their clamshell shape, when I unfold them and the screen turns on, tasker makes the pop up come on even though I did not undock the tab.
Your app does not do this which is great
good work, much appreciated!
Wow, this is awesome! The only thing that would make it better is the ability to switch input methods automatically without the pop-up. However - it is no problem to use the app as it is now. Great work!
OK, downloaded, installed and tested... awesome ! You just took my TF one step further on the way of perfection !
Very good idea, it's working great. SwiftKey tablet x is even better thanks to your simple app. Thanks!

Awesome - thanks!
what an usefull app!i wonder if exists anything similar before....+1 for this little but awesome work mate!!
Brilliant! Now can you make an option to allow it to auto switch between says Asus keyboard layout when docked and Thumbs keyboard when undocked pretty please?
I've found that the keyboard choice dialog does come up when (un)undocking, but that it's "dead" (it ignores selections - NOTHING happens) - I have to tap outside the dialog to make it disappear, and then bring up the dialog "manually" via the settings menu.
Any solution?

both of you, check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118164
using autostarts you can disable that pop up.
using the guide in this thread i remapped my dock keyboard so that i could use whatever soft keyboard i wanted ( i use smart keyboard pro) and the dock keys wouldnt change.
my problem was that the only way i could get the @ key on the dock keyboard to work was with the standard asus keyboard chosen on the tablet, any other soft keyboard and the @ key wouldnt work.
all solved now though!!

turn off the pop op using autostarts
remap the keys however you wish.
Ok, help here, please..
I am lost in all these threads and guides and what not..
What I need is: how to make dock type in Cyrillic Serbian, like the on screen keyboard? I do not need the automatic change of KB, I just need the possibility to type in Cyrillic. When I select serbian, dock stays US and onscreen is changed only..
When you do the remapping from the already mentioned thread, is it possible after that to change to US easily?
Thanx
No pop-up?
Any luck updating this app so that there are two more selections in the configuration screen?
Soft Keyboard when undocked
Soft Keyboard when docked
Then when docking / undocking don't present a user prompt but just change to the selected keyboard?
Thanks!
Great idea! If you could add an option To remember the selection it would be perfect! Anyway GREAT WORK!!!
