[Q] SL101 Keyboard ICS - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I loaded the latest Kang Rom on my SL101 and although it says that the keyboard dock is 100% working, it is not working correctly for the Slider. If I have the "Use physical keyboard" set to off, the onscreen keyboard will never open even if the tablet is closed. If I have "Use physical keyboard" set to on, the onscreen keyboard opens always, even if I have the physical keyboard out, which still works btw. Is there anyway I can fix this?

The transformer roms (as far as I know) are not guaranteed to work on the sl101. I would check with the devs of the rom you used if it supports sl101

Keyboard Dock - Randomly Stops Working

Does anyone else that got their dock have random problems where the dock just stops working? I've had it happen a bunch this morning, right in the middle of using it and it stops responding. The tablet still works, mouse cursor is still there, just no response from the keyboard.
I'm rooted running the latest update, will probably revert to stock and see what happens.

There's already another thread going about this. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063853
The solution for now is to disable the trackpad by clicking the disable trackpad button on the keyboard. The keyboard works fine without the trackpad, but will randomly stop working when the trackpad is enabled. ASUS is already aware of the issue and is working on a solution.

[Q] Automatic Keyboard Selection?

Is is possible to configure the TF101 automatically change the keyboard upon connecting/disconnecting the dock?
I want to use the physical keyboard when the tablet is docked. When it isn't docked, I want to use Swype, because the Asus onscreen keyboard just isn't anywhere near as good as Swype.
Another problem I have is, for some strange reason, when using the Asus onscreen keyboard, long pressing the text box doesn't bring up the switch keyboard option. I experienced this today using Evernote, and have seen it in other programs.
Is there a shortcut on the Asus onscreen keyboard to change keyboards (not to another Asus keyboard, but to another installed keyboard)?
If not, is there an widget I can put on the desktop that will toggle between two different keyboards?
I'm afraid that automatic switching of keyboard is not possible. As far as I know the permission which is necessary to change keyboard from other process is not possible to get without platform manufacturer signature (Asus in case of stock Transformer)
For the keyboard switch yo can use a small keybard icon in the notification area.
There is an app to switch keyboards based on orientation. I remember it coming from someone on the N1 subforums. Try looking for it and contacting the dev and see if he's willing to adapt it for the TF.
It does require root though.

On-screen keyboard while tab is docked?

Sometimes I'd like to use the on-screen keyboard while the tablet is docked (use thumb keyboard and would like to access the text shortcuts). Anyone know how to do this? Don't see anything in settings, but maybe I'm missing something, or maybe there's a hack. Help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I would also like that feature

When in a text field with the tablet docked. tap the little keyboard icon in the notification bar next to the dock icon, and turn Use Physical keyboard off. Then the onscreen keyboard will come up. However you will still be able to use the physical keyboard, but the onscreen keyboard will pop up.

Is there a way to block touch-input

Hi
A few weeks back my asus tf300 fell on the ground and the touchscreen was broken, but everything besides the touchscreen worked. So i used my keyboard to keep using my tablet and it worked fine. But since yesterday the tablet is doing strange things, it automatically makes opens apps, opens menus,... it is like the screen is touching itself. If i take the tablet out of the keyboard it still happens so it has nothing to do with the keyboard. So is there a possibility to block all input except from the keyboard?
GHOST!!!!

Just to ensure that this is the screen enable the "Show Touches" option in the Developer menu.
Open Settings -> Click "About Tablet" a dozen times fast until it says that your now a developer. Scroll down to INPUT and then under input you'll find the touches setting. This will help ensure that it is the screen and not gesture input executing these apps.
This will sometimes happen when the digitizer is broken. Unfortunately, there is no way to turn off the touchscreen.
You could technically write a program which creates an invisible overlay over the entire screen area that would consume all touch input. But remember, the mouse pad on the keyboard simulates touch input.. So that too would get consumed by the invisible overlay. But typing and arrow keys would still work.

TF300, Physical Keyboard won't stop auto-correcting

I have TF300T, Rooted, running Crombi KK. docked in physical keyboard.
I have autocorrect unchecked in settings for the android keyboard. and for the Swiftkey keyboard, and "auto-replace" unchecked under "physical keyboard".
I don't have an autocorrect problem using on-screen keyboards. Only when using the Asus physical keyboard.
How do I get the keyboard to stop autocorrecting?
no one has a suggestion about this issue?
I uninstalled Swiftkey. So far as I can tell, this has fixed the problem. and it also seems to have fixed a problem with CMBrowser where suggestion bar was pointlessly appearing on some pages. I had no idea Swiftkey would be the culprit.
I have installed Google keyboard, in case I need an onscreen keyboard.
