I recently bought a lenovo s580 phone. It has android 4.2.2 installed. I was able to pair an apple bluetooth keyboard with the phone and the keyboard is working fine. But there are several keys not working.
I found out that the phone has TouchPanel Gesture. I have never seen this feature before. This feature has an alphabet gesture in it. There are several keys in alphabet gesture including: o,w,m,e,c,s,v,z, left, right, up, down. These keys when pressed from bluetooth keyboard, it flashes a window saying Invalid Application: Application not set.
Basically this flash window keep on poping up and won't allow normal typing on bluetooth keyboard.
I tried to delete tpgesture app from system app list, it removed the window messaging, but the keys are still not working.
I've been trying to tackle this problem for a week now and could not find any other post about this issue.
Can any one help me solve this issue?
By the way, the touchpanel gesture otherwise works fine, I can assign any app to 's' key and pressing physical s key will launch the app. But this effectively makes the physical keyboard completely useless. I really want this feature be entirely gone so I can type normally.

So I've got PocketGBA installed, and it runs much smoother than Morphgear. The problem is, that when you set it to run in landscape, which is known as "vertical" mode for some reason, the screen is upside down. So you'd have the keyboard out, but the games run upside down.
Is there anyway to fix this, or a program to set screen orientation temporarily or whatever?
Thanks
I actually just play it that way, leaving the keyboard slid out on the top and assigning the keys.
Assigning keys this way is wierd, because with the keyboard open the onscreen buttons are off. So what I do, is with the keyboard closed... select your first key to assign, then slide the keyboard open and press a button.
You should see the button press take. To continue, close the phone then select another onscreen button to assign, open keyboard and press the selected physical button to map it.
Do this for all the required button assignments, opening and closing the keyboard each time. Once your done you shouldn't have to do it anymore.
Then just play with the keyboard open, with the screen facing you.
A fix would be nice though, but I don't know if the author of PocketGBA is still around or is the source is even available any more. It seems that there isn't an interest in working emulators for PocketPCs anymore. The ones we have are YEARS old and are bug prone. Finding the right Emulator is finding one that has bugs you can live with.

I don't think that will work. It is the PocketGBA software that rotates the screen. Even if you forced the screen to display the orientation correctly, I think the program will have all the touchscreen interface offset (just like what happens when you open the keyboard). I will try it though.
Is there a way to stop the virtual keyboard from popping up on screen when it is in the keyboard dock, also is there a way to stop the text I am writing into the stock browser from dissapearing under the full screen keyboard when typing?
Thanks
I couldn't find a way, but I got round it by clicking the v on the bottom menu (Next to home) which closes the onscreen keyboard down. Its a bit of a faff tbh. But at least you can get to type on fullscreen. To see what you're typing, just use the arrow keys/the text tag and scroll down.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? It is so annoying. Everytime i touch the screen to edit, the virtual keyboard pops up. I use the up/down keyboard Key, below the Enter Key on the virtual keyboard to minimize the virtual keyboard. I have cheked the settings and there is no option to disable the virtual keyboard. Any suggestions anyone?
I don't have a dock but use a bluetooth keyboard from time to time. To avoid the same problem I have installed null keyboard from Google Play store which works well for me.
Works brilliantly thanks just what i was after. I've got the note docked and the keyboard hasn't appeared on screen once while typing this. Only thing i had to do was set it to the default keyboard first in the settings under input.
Hello, I remember that in the old day (with Gingerbread 2.3.X), when you want to launch the keyboard, you can hold the menu key anytime. However, unfortunately, I don't know why I can no longer use the same method to call up the keyboard with newer Jellybean 4.1.X devices. Therefore, I would like to know that if there is a way that I could do the same thing. If not, is there a trick or a mod I can use to fix it? Thanks.
I am using Note 2 (international N7100) with Omega ROM.
To be able to open it anywhere, you go into the settings for the keyboard and check the box for 'permanent notification'. It will then keep an entry in the notifications which you can tap to bring up the keyboard at any point. Or may be you can try Hacker's Keyboard (search in Google Play). Checking its Guide, there's in fact a section suggesting such a feature: You can configure the gesture used for this in the keyboard's "Gesture and key actions" settings menu. If the swipe action is too hard to trigger, try binding the "close keyboard" action to the "Volume down" hardware key. This won't interfere with normal use of the volume button while the keyboard is closed. Though this applies to "close": If there are gestures you can configure, it might as well be able to have one for "open". The FAQ may reveal some more clues.
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!
Anyone have an issue where the Samsung keyboard will stop responding to SwiftFlow, also known as "swiping"?
For example, sometimes when I want to input text, the Samsung keyboard appears, but instead of being able to swipe through letters, It will only detect "tapping" or the first letter I touch.
The simple fix is to hit the "back" button on the phone which will close the keyboard, then bring the keyboard back and SwiftFlow/Swyping will work again. The problem is I seem to be running into this a few times a day during heavy use, so it's obviously annoying when it happens.
