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.
My surface pro 2 won't go sleep after windows 10 update. Does anyone know how to fix it?
It's a known bug, been known throughout the entire preview builds. No idea why it's still not fixed, but it seems that it's not.

I just figure it out, open the command prompt and type: powercfg –devicequery wake_armed
It should tell you the device that is waking the surface pro from sleep. Then head to device manager, find the device and right click for properties, then power management tab, uncheck the box that allows this device to wake the surface up. My HID Keyboard Device was the one causing the problem.
I am formatting sp2 right now for the same reason.. Didn't know that it was a generic problem..
So does anyone found what device is the problem?
Microsoft can't even support surface pro which it sells?..
Edit.. After reinstall win10 clean, problem resolved here..

I reply to myself.. After clean install win10 the no sleep problem was resolved BUT after installing just a few normal apps it suddenly happened again. So i searched more.. I found a solution.
Go to device manager , mice and other pointing devices-hid-compliant mouse, right click it, properties,power management, and uncheck allow this device to wake computer.
Do the same for: keyboard.
If i change it only to one of those, i still had the problem, so both of them awake my sp2.
With this to my sp2 everything works fine but if yours doesn't, try do the same to network adapter for wifi. Also some had disable microphone ..
I believe those 2 i changed are the cause of the problem for most users, as the drivers are faulty in win10 at least for now..
Good luck..
Hello I have solved the problem this way:
1) Go to Control Panel> Device Manager> Keyboards> Right button on "HID keyboard"> Properties> Energy Saver> lever to check the "Allow this device to wake the computer."
2) Go to Control Panel> Device Manager> Keyboards> Right button on "Surface Touch Cover Filter Device"> Properties> Energy Saver> lever to check the "Allow this device to wake the computer."
3) Go to Control Panel> Device Manager> Mice and other pointing devices> Right button on "HID-compliant mouse"> Properties> Energy Saver> lever to check the "Allow this device to wake the computer." Do this for both items!
4) Go to Control Panel> Power Options> Change plan settings> Change advanced power settings> Go to the heading "Suspension"> Go to the item "Allow hybrid sleep"> Battery supply select "Disable"> Plugged select "Disable"> Go to the item "Allow wake timers"> Battery supply select "Disable"> Plugged select "Disable". Perform these steps for the three combinations "Energy Saving", "Balanced", "High Performance".
REMEMBER EVERY TIME YOU MAKE A PASS CLICK "APPLY" and "OK", ONCE FINISHED ALL STEPS STOP THE SYSTEM and on again. NOW THE SUSPENSION WORKS PERFECTLY.

Hi,
I'm on beta 4 and I've noticed that Desktop Mode can be enabled on the developer settings.
After enabling it, mirroring the screen on a Chromecast device opens Desktop Mode, but after that, using a mouse makes the cursor show up on the phone and not on the external screen, as it should.
Is there any way for Desktop Mode to actually work?

Ever find out the answer to this? I know USB-C to HDMI does work with mirroring with a displaylink certified adapter...

In the settings you can enable one hand mode by tapping the home button twice, but when using gestures, well... there is no home button. Is there a workaround?
Maybe not exactly what you're asking, but you can activate it by pulling down the notification bar/quick settings.
A bit easier than to go into the settings.

I didn't even think of searching for this mode in the quick settings. Thanks!
