Hi!
So I've got this problem on my tab where I can't boot but I get to a screen that says in Chinese that I need to do a factory reset to reset to default settings, which probably will make my tablet work.
However, I noticed I'm able to use mouse/keyboard on this screen.
So I'm wondering if there's any psychical keyboard shortcut to enter Settings on Android 4.0.2 / ICS?
If I may enter Settings I may turn on USB-debugging and save my tablet, otherwise I can't use it.
I'm able to bring the on-screen keyboard up by pressing "ESC" on my psyhical keyboard, and from there I can get into the keyboard settings. But I'd like to get into the settings of the OS if this is possible?
I can't enter recovery mode because of the tablet getting stuck at the logo.
So any useful shortcut I may use?
Thanks in advance

I have the 8013. I am running the lastest update, installed with mobile odin with everroot. When I reboot, I get the standard Samsung keyboard in text mode. If I switch to handwriting mode, I have to reboot to return to text (typing) mode. What am I missing. Before the update, there was a button to return to typing mode on the handwriting keyboard. I can't find it now.
Thanks.
Maybe you're saying this hasn't worked or it just isn't applicable, but have you tried long pressing the audio input icon, or whatever is there?
That was it
The long press worked. Thanks. Guess I was having a senior moment.
I installed SwiftKey, but it seems whenever I reboot the phone it goes back to Samsng keyboard. There's no way to un-select Samsung keyboard in the Input options (option is disabled) and whatever I set for default keyboard gets forgotten on reboot.
Anyone know a fix for this?
I`ve just bought Nec Terrain and got a problem: i need to use virtual keyboard together with physical one. I`ve tried to install Google keyboard and a lot of others, but after installing & setting them up by default they don`t pop up in the text fields & i can`t get an input method window pop-up. Tapping & holding on a text field gives nothing. Maybe somehow usage of a virtual keyboard is blocked in this phone? So how turn virtual keyboard on?
It turned out that virtual keyboard is being blocked by physical one while it is not turned off in settings, but i can`t turn physical off, because the tip is grayscaled and locked. How to unlock it?
Try disabling Adaptxt.
I have not tried to use a virtual keyoard, but when I killed Adaptxt my keyboard mostly stopped working.
I don't know if this will work, but it is easy enough to turn back on.
Eureka! I have found it! After going through a dozen or more keyboards, I have found one that brings back all the keyboard functions without the predictive text bar.
Download the TouchPal keyboard and set it as default.

Did you solve this VigerV? I'm having the exact same problem and may have to return the phone if I can't figure out how to type in other languages. I can't enable any type of virtual keyboard. It's crazy that they make it this hard!
Hello,
I'm having an issue where I'm stuck in 'Ultra Power Saving Mode'.
I was using the google launcher, not touch wiz. I entered UPSM and pressed the home buttom, at which point it asked me what default launcher to use. I selected google and now I only have access to limited apps. It's not the usual UPSM launcher.
When i go into settings only a few options are available (WiFi, Bluetooth etc) but nothing to allow me to exit Ultra Power Saving Mode.
I've tried flashing firmware via Odin (latest 6.01) but I'm still stuck in UPSM.
Does anyone know of a way out without without having to factory erase?
Thanks
Resolved?

Only solution I found was to wipe my phone
This worked for me: using package disabler pro, I uninstalled Google Now Launcher. After closing the app, I got back to the usual UPSM screen and was able to disable it.
Another way to get around this is to side load any other launcher and to choose samsung launcher when you open the new launcher.
Go into settings switch default launcher.
Go to the menu and find google app hold that app and move to the top of the screen and put that in the app info and tap Force stop now press the home button now it will again ask for the default launcher and now select touch wiz. That's it now you phone back to normal.
How can I make the enter key send enter instead of the currently selected key on the on screen keyboard, preferably without rooting the device? I know I can change the keymap file if I root the device but I don't know how to root it and would rather avoid rooting it if I can. Also how do I stop the on screen keyboard appearing? I've turned it off in the physical keyboard settings section but it still appears.
Download External Keyboard Pro and install it. That can remap your keyboard for you. It may give you the option to remove the on-screen keyboard
