Folio keyboard
I just got a HTC Folio keyboard online open box. Price was right (maybe), I didn't get any instructions on pairing it with the tablet. Any help would be appreciated.d
You couldn't be bothered to google "htc folio keyboard instructions"? It's literally the first result.

Yep, I found it after I posted. I got hung up trying to find it on HTC which goes no where.
But why come online (or use an app) and create a thread, and wait for a reply ... when common sense would be to just google instructions?
You have to put your tablet on the middle magnet bar and wait for it to pair on his own, if it doesn't work which was my case, charge the folio cause it doesn't have enough battery, and make sure your bluetooth is on

I simply do not use the hard keyboard, so I would LOVE to find a case that snaps together instead of individually to the two halves of the phone, basically making it a touch screen only phone.
no offense but i sure hope not
but im sure there will be
try ebay
I doubt it anyone will make a case intentionally like that for a phone that was designed to have a slideout keyboard as it's descerning feature from the EVO.
This would work:

Yeah I use the keyboard like 1 a week or hardly at all.. I'm so used to swype.
I don't think you'll find anybody on here who will make you one. But I'm sure if you search the net you might find it.

That is actually a pretty cool looking case, but I wouldn't like to have to flip it open every time. For the OP though, it'd be perfect. If this thing had a built-in EVO type kickstand, I'd consider getting it and using Swype more.
My only issue is it would seem that since it is designed to open for use, it could be prone to opening when I dont want it to, causing me to possibly drop the phone
I found a jelly case from Zooly, but cannot find anyone that actually carries it.
I was looking for a simple dock that could let me set my phone on my bedside table to act as an alarm and charge, and I came across this guy that might do the trick...
-- I can't post links, apparently, but a google search for "ezestand" will bring it up --
Have any of you tried it? It looks like it could be great, but I also have a feeling that the usb port on the phone will be blocked by the support portion of the stand. In the websites FAQ, they mention that another phone (the HTC droid incredible) could not be supported without shifting it off to the side, due to the location of the usb port. I have no experience with that phone, but I get the impression that the mytouch 4g would have the same issue. Does anybody here have experience with the incredible, and could you compare its usb port location to that of the mytouch?

Why not pay a little extra and get the official MT4G stand at a T-Mo store?

I would consider it, but it's roughly four times the price. It's a nice looking stand, but I don't think it's features justify it's price.

I do agree with you there. It is pricey.
The ezestand is universal so it should fit a wide variety of phones. For roughly $13 I would say give it a try and report back here with a review and your thoughts.
I have a really strong feeling that it won't work, but that is not going to stop us from getting the info. There is a member of the t-mobile forums who bit the bullet and bought one. Their "shipping department" (probably the same one person that runs every other department) is closed until January second, so they are not going to get the dock for a while. If I find anything out from that member, I will post it here too.
Great. Will keep a look out for it.
You could place the phone in the dock with the USB port facing up (buttons to the left).

Unfortunately, the display would then be upside down.
Oh? I didn't try the desk dock app but the clock app will rotate all four ways.

I had not noticed that. The clock app does indeed seem to rotate when you put it into its simpler modes (that only show the time), but it does not rotate in the normal position. That is not really a big deal, though, so this is definitely a possible solution. Thanks!
Has anybody physically tried to use the HP Touchpad with either the Zaggmate w/Keyboard (originally for ipad1)? or the Zaggfolio (originally for the ipad2)? I have already compared measurements but I want to know if someone has actually tried it.

thanks!!
Love the Aluminium case idea but an iPad case on the TP is going to have gaps at the corners, I don't know how that would affect the way it closes/stays shut.
/edit, Just had a closer look at the middle link keyboard, I can see typing on that being a real pain, having to 'reach over' the case sides all the time.
I called Zagg and they claim compatibility with pairing for the Zagg solo (http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zaggkeys-solo-ipad-keyboard.php), but i'd be more interested in something with a case as well. the good thing is that their bluetooth pairing seems to play well across devices, so pairing it with android when available should be a breeze.
I'll shoot them an e-mail to see if they can tell me if any of there cases would fit snuggly with the touchpad and report back here when I find out.
I noticed it is pretty much the same keyboard used in all those just different cases.. Another sweet lookin case is a New Trent for ipad2.. I have to find the link again.

This looks interesting should fit as per other forums...
Just checking to see if anybody tried any of the zagg cases yet.. I have seen a couple Zaggmate for ipad1 on ebay for $55.00 USD, I was thinking of giving it a try.
**Edit: I found a used one that allegedly works for $40.00 so I bought it.. will report back findings***

The problem you are going to encounter (as has been pointed out a number of times) is that the TouchPad is slightly thicker (about 1mm) than the iPad and anything that clips around the thing tightly is going to come up short for the TouchPad. in other words, if the case is designed for the iPad to sit down snugly inside it somehow, the TP will NOT fit within those confines.
Sorry.

They said they used the Zaggmate...
Zaggmate for ipad1 DOES connect/pair with TP
Ok.. My Zaggmate for the ipad1 arrived today. I was very eager to try it out. First impression solid, well built, keyboard is a little small for my hands I would say it is about a 90% keyboard. Others were right the corners are left exposed as you can see in the pictures below but not bad at all. It does fit well. When sitting in the dock area it does stay still, however do not push on the screen too hard or shake the table as it may give way. OH, and the most important part.. IT DOES pair with the TP (see below posts) and my Motorola Droid 1 but can't get it to work with my LG Revolution, but the TP was the main point. So it DOES WORK!!!
Wow that looks awesome! Mind made up lol!
To pair it, I heard you have to type and combination on the touchpad i.e. 1234
then type the exact same thing on the keyboard. Get back if it works

tried the usuals 1234, 0000 but when it did pair to my LG Revo the # code was 6 numbers
disregard.. it did work using 123456 on both!! Thanks for the tip.
It is a little buggy.. the escape key works to open up the app drawer as well as the button on the TP that lets you switch cards..
To use the alternate punctuation marks like ! @ # $ % ^ or ? " : you have to use caps lock, shift won't work
Apple's command button will also open up the app drawer from home screen
Function key row also has search but that will just bring up the Just Type screen but you can also access that by.. you guessed it.. just typing lol I am still playing around with this.
lol I bet there is a map keyboard app for android ;-)
Got the zaggmate to connect with CyanogenMod however none of the function keys seem to work and the arrow keys thinks the tp is always in vertical mode because that how they move. Unless an update will fix some of the issues probably wont work in Android well enough to use regularly.. might buy the zaggkeys solo and see how that works since they list compatibility with Android tabs.
sent from my HP Touchpad powered by CyanogenMod 7.1 alpha
*EDIT*: After some playing around the number/letter/punctuation keys work for basic typing. Search key works, command does nothing, Volume keys work, tab, shift, caps lock all work fine. Anyone following the "issues" from the rootz wiki forum, someone came up with a fix (qwerty.kl file) that allegedly works with the HP Touchpad OEM Bluetooth keyboard to fix the issue with the directional arrow keys only move as if the TP was always in vertical position. This also occurs with the Zaggmate however the "fix" didn't fix it.

hello fellow tf700 users! I was wondering if anyone has come across their tablet not locking to the keyboard dock properly and if there is a way to fix it? When I put my tablet into the dock I can hear the locking mechanism clicks but I can easily move my tablet out of the dock without having to unlock it from the dock with the actual switch. It's is quite annoying. Is it because My digitizer is cracked so its not fitting snuggly? I used the tf300 keyboard for a while before getting the tf700 one and although it worked the dock opening was slightly wider than the actual tablet so my screen cracked after a lot of closing and opening the dock/tablet. could t be my tablet isn't fitting snugly into the dock?

I have seen several posts of people saying that the little plastic thing that actually keeps the lock tight break easily. Maybe that's what happened to yours?
Man, you do seem to have gotten a serious lemon! You complain about everything, and everything has broken spontaneously or with some help from you. LOL!
Is there any part of your tablet that isn't broken?

My dock won't lock at all. In fact even when its closed I think its going to come apart. I am on my second unit and it happened again. I have no idea why. I am not hard on it at all and it barely leaves my couch. Has Asus commented on this problem at all. In my opinion this is a major problem. Otherwise, I love the unit.
Hey folks. Looking for a case with a built in keyboard for using on my lap. I'd like to be able to sit in a chair, put the tablet on my lap, and type without it falling over. HD 10 2019.

I have that Logitech case but I don't recommend it. The brackets that hold the tablet will place constant pressure on either the volume rocker or on the power button unless they are lifted (I used a cork) and the plastic they are made out of are pretty weak.
*Edit this is the 2017 HD10.

Cannot believe in this day and age how hard it is to find such a keyboard with a mouse pad. There's no sense in being able to type via a keyboard AND still have to touch the screen to do what I want to do.

I think this is the right size for your tablet: https://www.amazon.com/Cooper-Touch...=1&keywords=cooper+case&qid=1596044247&sr=8-4
You, sir, are amazing!!! I don't know how many times i've searched amazon for such a thing but could never find it, and I'm known as "The finder" by friends, family, and co-workers!
Problem now is that the tablet I wanted to use it with (the Fire HD 10) is in parts. Need to open her up to recover her after a failed upgrade attempt, but ONE BLOODY SCREW is really foiling my efforts to proceed. The star-head is stripped and I cannot figure out how to get it out!
Still, I just picked up a Samsung tab with volume issue for $20 yesterday. Installed volume widget and works fine. Think this case is going into the Amazon basket. It's $60 Canadian after taxes.
Thanks!

Actually, I ALWAYS check some Chinese shopping sites before buying from Amazon because A LOT of those sellers have started to sell their products on Amazon for much more than though sell those same items on the Chinese sites. First thing I came across is:

Will have a look around some more before ordering from Amazon.
