Does anyone know how to force the TF700 display to rotate while docked?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S5jb2luc29mdC5hbmRyb2lkLm9yaWVudGNvbnRyb2wiXQ..
Okay. Now, (actually related), how can I force the soft keyboard to display...while the hardware keyboard is still docked?
Change the input method, I believe. I'm currently updating to 10.4.4.20, but I have mine in the dock all the time, so I'll double check in a few minutes.
Thank you.
I did try to change the input method and even turning off the physical keyboard on the slider switch (input method switch.) For one thing, turning off the physical keyboard doesn't seem to do anything, that is, the keyboard works just fine even if it is "switched off".
I don't care whether the physical keyboard is on or off. I just need to use the soft keyboard. If I'm using the tablet in portrait mode (forced), while docked, then I would need to use the soft keyboard or else learn to type sideways...rather...on a keyboard that is sideways to my orientation since I am using the tablet in portrait. (whew!)
Does that make sense?
For keeping the landscape mode while at the dock, I use the app "ultimate rotation control" together with tasker. Their collaboration allows my TF700 (and previously TF201) to do it automatically. The trick is detecting if there is a power coming in, as the dock mostly will charge the pad.
And to let the on-screen keyboard stay appearing, you can try Keyboard Manager. I use this app to automatically switch to my international keyboard, but you can set it following your goal there. For this app, you will need root access.
Good luck trying.

this is how I did it on mine and it works fine.
Settings->Language & Input -> default- switch off "Hardware physical keyboard.
Now open some thing and try to type you should see the softkeyboard popup. If you download "screen orientation" app. After installed, you will see a little icon on your notification, you will have the option to switch to portrait mode with portrait keyboard layout.
I tried turning off the physical keyboard again and this time the soft keyboard popped right up. It works!
Thank you! Just what I needed!
I use this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate
for rotation control, since it provides both global and per-app settings. That really rocks!

I have this downloaded, and my TF201 still overrides it when the dock is plugged in. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

Try this one, work well with dock, called screen orientation control : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsImpwLmVmbG93LnV0aWwucm90YXRpb24iXQ.. and the nice thing is it's in the notification for fast access.

Same thing, as soon as I plug in the dock, the screen goes upside down.

You should plug the dock in, screen should be in landscape mode, now download and install the app. Once done, there're 3 settings, Off= auto rotation, landsacape=landscape and portrait=portrait. now with the dock attached and if you want to go into portrait mode, first turn your device first then enable portrait mode. (if you don't do this in the order, it's going to be backward/upsidedown)

Hmmmm. I don't think that works the way I want it to. Reading upside down is hard (unit upside down, dock installed), reading sideways is impossible (unit upside down, text sideways, dock installed)! I'm not wanting portrait mode, I want reversed landscape. Reversed landscape seems to be the only mode that is disabled?!?!?!?
If possible, please provide screen shots, the app is working fine for everyone....

I gave up, and just tied the dock to the bottom of the tablet. No need for any software that way, just didn't want to do that, because the connections isn't that sturdy. I was very careful with the pressure, and I think it'll be OK.
Wow, the ethernet connection (even going thru the USB) is WAY faster than the wireless!
sorry for coming in this late in the thread after my first response, but Rotate provides any rotation mode I can think of (including Reverse Landscape, Reverse Portrait, etc.)
As for the Transformer line still overriding the app: yes, they *seem* to. However, setting the per-app setting (available on Pro), you can have any app rotate any way you want. I use Mantano in portrait mode while on the train commute, holding the TF700 like a book with the screen on the right, and if I want to read in bed lying on my side, I enable Reverse Portrait while on my right side, and keep it Portrait when on my left (hope that made sense a bit).
Oh, and EDIT: Rotate provides ALL rotation options in a quickmenu right from the notification tray icon.

I cannot find an app which will allow "reverse landscape" when my TF700 is docked.
I have tried:
"Ultimate Rotation Control" the best of the group, and even has a dock override function -- unfortunately that feature does work for me while docked.
"Screen Orientation Control" also does not override when docked.
"Screen Rotation Control" same, no dice when docked.
"Rotation Anywhere" doesn't have a reverse landscape mode.
"Rotation Lock Adaptive" no good for me either.
I have not tried:
"Orientation Control" I would certainly spring for the $1.49 if there were anyone who could confirm that it can do "reverse landscape" when docked.
My desired functionality is actually for HDMI out. I have a projector which I would like to ceiling mount, but cannot invert its own image. Thus, I'm trying to find a way to flip the image of the HDMI out.
Any advice on "Orientation Control" or to flip the HDMI out video signal much appreciated!
Thanks.
I recently purchased a shield and have noticed that the mouse buttons do not work in Spotify or Netflix. I can can see the pointer and it moves around just fine but the buttons (left/right) do nothing. The buttons work fine in YouTube, Chrome, Google music, etc. Not sure why the mouse buttons aren't working in certain apps. At first i thought it was a wireless mouse issue so i connected a USB mouse but the problem remained. I also tried setting the usb mode in the shield settings to "compatibility mode" but that made no difference. Any thoughts?
Oh, another thing.. the "mouse buttons" don't work when I'm issuing a remote app from my phone either! Like the "shield tv" or "Android tv" remote apps, the buttons meant to simulate the mouse buttons don't work in Spotify or Netflix. So strange
Thanks

Weird that I'm the only example of this issue i can find on the entire internet. I suppose i should just try a factory reset next.
Screen mirroring doesn't seem to work. It connects but it only shows my phone wallpaper.
Anybody figure it out?
Screen mirroring? As in you want your screen pop up on another external screen? Mine works normally using type c to portable and desktop monitor, touch doesn't work on the external screen though.
Although, there is desktop mode which is incomplete built into android 10. Which need to be enable through developer mode. Enable desktop and freeform. (Reboot) connect your external monitor, touch screen will be available if your screen support it. It's still not complete though.
If you interested you could install taskbar by farmerbb, its a start/launcher for the desktop mode, it's good, though not as good as (or complete) Dex and Emui desktop.
I mean screen mirroring to the TV
Anyone know a way to prevent the keyboard from always settings Productivity Mode when I connect it or lift up the screen?
At the moment I'm using some Developer Mode settings which is better but not perfect.
Lenovo - why give us an extra mode you can't switch off entirely?

I hate it too.
Which developer mode setting did you find? (P11 pro here)
Right at the bottom I played with turning off Force activities to be resizable and Enable freeform windows. It worked for a few days but then Productivity mode switched on again and now doesn't work (if at all it did).
In productivity mode, there is an option to enable it when keyboard is connected. You can simply disable it there.

...and then it comes back on again as soon as you detach or, reattach the keyboard or, reboot the device with the keyboard attached. At least in my usage.
Oh? the tablet is not near me, I'll check it at home.
