So Apple has me into the whole "inverted" scrolling on trackpads... now I can't get used to it being one way on my prime and another on my macbook.
The hard solution is sell the mac and buy a new laptop...
The easier solution... is there a way to invert it on the prime?
Try Settings-> Asus Customized settings. Then on the cursor option, change to gesture mode. I think that will yield the results you're looking for.
Indeed it does... however it also changes the mouse cursor to a giant circle?
Can you uninvert it on the Mac? Then your Mac and prime will match too.

I just wished that swiping on the keyboard acted the same as it does on the Prime itself! Lol, I hate going from moving my hand one way on the screen to the opposite way on the trackpad.
I'm already used to it, but I shouldn't have had to get that way: seems counter-intuitive this way doesn't it?
yes. its annoying.
Just get an external mouse. 30 bucks and I can use the scrollwheel too.

Um. Why? No, I have plenty of wireless mice, but then why did I buy a $150 dock with a trackpad? In some situations I do use a mouse/keyboard, but that still solves nothing about the trackpad swiping - you don't swipe side to side with a mouse wheel.
I wanted to buy the prime keyboard dock today, but I'm wondering if a bluetooth keyboard, mouse kit would be better. Does anyone use a 3rd party keyboard/mouse combo, BT or otherwise?
I plan on using my prime with a desk, not so much on the go. As the touch screen virtualboard is fine on the go.
Not so much a $ issue as being more comfortable, creating documents, emails, researching, etc.
Any ideas, or experience would be greatly appreciated.
If its not $ issue might as well get a dock with full USB and SD card support with extended battery and uses the same charger. Its also nice that the dock has a home, back, sleep buttons. And the dock can be your stand that allows the tablet to be angled at any angle for the most part. Doest do 180 degrees though.

I've never used a Bluetooth keyboard so not sure there but the keyboard dock works great. I personally thought about getting a Bluetooth keyboard but Im glad I got the dock.
One of the "stickies" is about Bluetooth & WiFi....don't know if a keyboard would fall into that issue category or now....I have the dock and love it....wouldn't go for a bluetooth keyboard at all....+ I'm sure at sometime or other, there will be pairing or connection issues....since the dock is a "plug-in"....no issues
Plus, less to carry around....dock protects the screen when closed.

Had a bt keyboard for a while. It absolutely sucked. Lag from it being bt made it horrible. Tried 2 and they sucked. I ended up getting the asus dock and after about an hour of use with all the features asked myself wtf? Why didnt i do this sooner, lol
Theoretic the Asus doc is perfect because of the extra battery, Android keys etc. but it definitely is responsible in a certain amount for cracked screens. And Asus doesn't seem to stand behind their product and repair it under warranty...the doc is a perfect tool until it cracks the screen...

Found this in the N7000 thread.
Just half the price of original dock and has extra battery charger option. Ordered one. Will post more pics once i get it .
( Surprised that more people have not developed a desktop dock with audio out. )

Mine should be getting shipped very soon and as soon as I receive it I can let you know. I've got a plethora of cases to try it out on. However judging from the pictures, I'd say it is a no go.
its too bad that all the Note docks are portrait.
On my Atrix, i loved the fact that HDMI out and USB out were on the side, so it can dock perfectly in landscape mode.

I know it does not show a picture but it looks like this would work in portrait. The back of the stand has a pyramid for and tilts the phone back at any angle. The dock also exceeds the mid point up the sides. It should stay balanced if put on either side. Looks like a nice option.

This is correct. This stand will work in portrait.
Yes this stand works just great in landscape as well as portrait. It also works for data transfer between your phone and pc. I got a few rubber bumpers to stick on for landscape mode to keep it from moving around. Works great!
NOTE- Your phone will not fit with a case on.
Any recommendations for a good Bluetooth keyboard, preferable within a case, for our beloved P3113?
Thank you.

The zaggkeys pro looks awesome. I have the freedom pro. I like it alot. The only thing I don't like about it is that when using it, the soft onscreen keyboard comes up too. I wish there was a way to disable the onscreen keyboard while using the Bluetooth keyboard.

There is an app on the market for this, it basically works by enabling a dummy keyboard application that's completely blank. I'm sorry, I don't remember the name of the app, try searching on the play store for bluetooth keyboard ime.
Great solution. Thank you!

According to a reviewer at Amazon, it won't fit without major surgery. I think you'd be better off with a bluetooth keyboard, which would let you use the tablet in both portrait and landscape mode.
I'm using the Logitech Tablet Keyboard For Android 3.0+ that I bought at Target for $60 (it was $70 at Best Buy). The keys feel pretty nice. Also, when I first started using it the onscreen keyboard would pop up but all I had to do was press the "Esc" key and the keyboard disappears and I was still able to type. So for those of you experiencing that with other keyboards, try the Esc key. Then maybe you won't need to download a "dummy" keyboard app.
The FN commands work exccept for the 3 and 4 (mail and browser). Calendar, Music, Previous Track, Next Track, Volume Down and Up, and Delete. Has built in Home, Back, and Menu keys. Alt + Tab brings up the Multi-tasking feature of ICS. However flipping through the apps with the keyboard is a challenge as pressing tab does not alternate. The up and down arrow keys work but it jumps up a "page" instead of flipping through one by one. Alt + Tab and then tapping on the app you want is the best method so far. Overall I like the action plus the keyboard's case serves as a handy tablet stand as well. So that is kind of a neat feature.

I have the suntech (s-tech) bluetooth keyboard. Purchased for about 20GBP from a computer mall in Hong Kong. It works brilliantly and connects simultaneously with a Dell Bluetooth travel mouse. The keyboard occasionally inputs multiple presses uncommanded and the initial connection each session is hit and miss (it's probably me though).
I just press the down cursor when the onscreen keyboard pops into viev (thumb keyboard - it's the best).
I don't travel with my laptop anymore.
The zaggkeys looks good, has anyone compared it to the apple wireless keyboard?
The Logitech - Keyboard for Android 3.0+ Tablets looks nice. I may have to go pick that up if my samsung dock does not work with my tab2
I was looking at the zaggkeys flex, but found a zaggkeys solo on ebay for 9$. Anyone tried it or know the difference?

I'll second the Freedom Pro vote. When you're using it, you can select it from the Keyboard icon in the status bar and the on-screen one no longer pops up. When you're done with the Freedom Pro, just re-select the on-screen one (SwiftKey, for me.)
The typing feel is pretty good, but the size is what won me over. I chose a 7" tablet for size, so to "lug" around a larger keyboard was counter-productive.
My Zaggkeys Solo arrived. The size is perfect, big enough to comfortably type on, small enough to easily carry around. For $9 plus $4 shipping it was way more than worth it. Paired in seconds, works great!

This is the one I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280904414815#ht_724wt_812
The seller had some listed at $19.99 and others at $9.99. Not sure why the different prices, maybe he was just trying to see what he could get for them. Anyway, there was a Make Offer option, so I offered $9, and it was accepted. This keyboard is GREAT! I have absolutely no complaints. The listing says used, but I can't find even a tiny scratch on it. It didn't come with a cable, but it's a standard, I had several already.
Just purchased a Bluetooth folding keyboard by HDE for less than US$30. It pairs easily & quickly with my P3113. Center-hinged and folds to 5 inches. Purchased it for use when traveling. Available from Amazon, buy.com and other vendors.
Samsung launched student edition Tab2, with it they are giving Keyboard and USB OTG cable for free.
Specs:
7" screen
8 GB
Wi-Fi
It costs $249 and rumors says its coming globally on aug 19th.
So there is a hope who want samsung official keyboard for our tab 2, i am sure it will work with all other tab 2 7" edition.
Tab 7 Plus Case Might Fit

I was looking for a keyboard case that would fit the Tab 2 7 on amazon and this
(search for "B00AIA5K0C" on amazon I can't post links yet).
came up. That particular "case" is for the Tab 7 Plus but I looked it up on wikipedia and the 7 plus and 2 7" are almost the exact same size. I went ahead and ordered it but didn't know if anyone knew anything more about it. When it comes in I'll let everyone know and put up pictures if I can. :good:
Hi, first I want to apologize because I don't know where to post. I thought Accessories section was appropriate.
After searching all over the internet for weeks trying to find some device that attach phone to laptop I could not find anything. Actually I found two, one looked way to bulky and had mixed reviews and the other I liked (Kickstarter project: Sidecar) but these products never gets made for non-Apple products. I was not surprised there.
I could just get a kickstand case or a portable stand but I didn't want to do that since I don't always work on a desk and I also spent my case money on Spigen Slim Armor S-View. Actually, this case is a necessity. The clip was designed to work with this case but I can see how I could modify it to work with other cases.
Anyways, I decided to do-it-myself. After lot's of prototypes, sandblasting, drilling, and superglue, it actually turned out really good. It clips on and off smoothly with no effort but it stays on securely. I can even lift my laptop and travel across the room with it and it stayed on. I was impressed. It also worked as a portrait-mode kickstand in two different angles but landscape mode didn't work so well. But the fact that it doubles as kickstand was a nice little bonus. One thing I don't like was that it covered quite a big chunk of my display since the Note3 is so massive. But to me it works because my screen resolution is 3200x1800 and the convenience of this set-up is just perfect work-environment for me. Especially with Samsung's SideSync software. SideSync lets you control phone with laptop keyboard and mouse, drag and drop, and other stuff. Really cool.
I'm going to post some pictures, let me know what you think.
I just don't get it...:banghead:

Im sorry but what is the point from hanging you phone this way and blocking part of your laptop screen !
Sent from my SM-N900 using Tapatalk 2
Yea, it wouldn't be that bad of an idea if it didn't block half of your screen. Why not make it so it clips outside of the screen instead of in front of it?
Hmm I made a replied to thread but it gave me an error.
Anyways I just wanted to say thanks for replying. I agree the screen covering is a bummer but it actually gives me a more real estate in dual screen set up with SideSync. It boosted my work flow even if it was just to play a movie while doing repetitive work. I can play movie on the laptop as well but that drains my battery from 10 to 3 hours which is not long enough to finish work. But if only it didn't cover up the screen....

My question is, if you're going to take up part of your screen with the phone, while using SideSync, why not just show the phone's screen on the laptop, and then size it a bit smaller, as shown on the SideSync webpage instead of clipping it to the front of the screen? At least that way you could move the visual representation of the phone around if you wanted to.
I tried the phone screen on laptop but it is a little laggy. Not bad but I want smooth experience. Using mouse and keyboard on phone screen has zero lag.
nope.
I applaud you for the ingenuity. I'm a big fan of DIY projects, but this is a very specific to your personal needs piece of work. Got me inspired though. Might model and print a clip that hangs it on the side of my screen. Problem is getting sidesync to work fully on thinkpad.
I used dual-sided suction cups back when I was tethering my network to my iPhone.
