[Q] Keyboard stuck on US? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Hi all,
Installed Swype on Asus Transformer Prime, now whenever I type on the keyboard dock it seems to be stuck on US keyboard settings; i.e when I type the @ symbol I get " instead and likewise the £ no longer works. I've checked all of the keyboard and language settings and they all say English(UK).
Help! Major annoyance!

Fixed!
In languge & Input the Default has to say Asus keyboard, not Android Keyboard.

[Q] Dock keyboard keys mixed up

Bought my Prime yesterday. On the dock, the keys for "@" (Shift+2) and " " " (Shift+') are mixed up. That means to make the "@" character appear, I have to press Shift+' rather than Shift+2. I'm wondering if this is a hardware fault or a software one and if I should take it back to the shop. Thanks.
i have the same problem the lay out of the Keyboard is UK but the input to the Tablet is US style. i have check the Keyboard setting and it defiantly says UK keyboard so kinda stuck the same as you
Are you using the stock Asus software keyboard? Those keys can get put back to the US layout if you use other software keyboards, for some reason.

Yep. same for me. (UK)
So not hardware fault I'm guessing? I'm sure as soon as custom ROM's come out, that can be patched up (I hope). I was concerned it could be a physically swapped keys.
Same here, installed Thumb Keyboard, and dock keyboard became US (AZERTY french initially). So have to select Asus Keyboard as default to have dock correctly configured...

[Q] Simple way to switch languages on keyboard dock

Hello everyone.
I've recently bought my dad the prime with a keyboard dock and I can't find a quick and easy way to change the input language of the keyboard when it's docked.
There is an option to change the device's language to our local one (Hebrew if that matters), but then it changes everything to Hebrew.
I just want the device's language to be English and have something like alt+shift to switch between the languages when it's docked.
However, so far it's either stuck on English (if the device's language is set to English), or alternates randomly between Hebrew and English (probably depends on the context of the text) with no real way to change it.
Is this a known issue? Is there a way to solve this?
Well, apparently ctrl+space does the trick when the keyboard is docked, at least for me.

if you go to ASUS keyboard setting, and only check Hebrew keyboard (without English Keyboard), you can simply switch back and forth between English and Hebrew by pressing alt key which is right next to space bar.
when alt key is pressed, it shows which keyboard has activated via little dialog box on the center of the screen.
This is the control + shift hassle free of doing it.

[Q] Keyboard not working, trackpad fine

Hello all,
I just unpacked my brandnew prime. When booting up I could use the trackpad during the initial install, but the keyboarddock did not work. When finished with the initial install, I could not use the dock keyboard (except for the trackpad) in Android. In the lower right corner there is an icon for the dock (and the prime is charging through the dock). When I select a textbox, there is an additional icon (a keyboard icon) in the lower right corner, but not a single key (not even the top row) works...
Am I missing something or is this dock broken? I have hard reset the prime several times now and undocked and docked several times and am out of options.
Does anyone know of a fix (other than return the tab for RMA/refund)?
Hi
Go to Settings - Language & Keyboard
Verify that Asus Keyboard is set as default keyboard.
Hello Pnoire,
I have checked that the asus keyboard is the default. I have also tried setting the android keyboard as default. I then get a message about the hardware keyboard not being used. I tried toggling between the android and the asus one several times, but all keys remain dead. When I loose the mouse (happens after I change the keyboard), I can get it back by closing and opening tablet + dock. The keys remain non funtional however.
Hi dannykix
I don't know what you can do, now. It could be a hardware problem!
I contacted Asus support, they indicated that it is most likely hardware related. As I just opened the package the tablet is returned to the supplier as a DOA. I hope the new one arrives a bit faster then this one.
Case closed.

Help with Keyboard Dock station not working?

im using tf300t and the original docking station keyboard from Asus. the keyboard is brand new but only the mousepad is working I cant type with the keyboard! its really annoying
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Make sure the "Physical Keyboard" Switch is turned "On" when you have the dock connected. If you open a e-mail/note or any field that supports text entry, you can click the keyboard icon on the lower right side of your screen (next to the time/wifi icons etc.) Alternatively, you can find the options via Settings -> Language & Input -> Keyboard & Input methods
Also make sure that it's set to "Asus English (US) Keyboard" (or whatever default language it is you use), but double check whether it's the Asus keyboard and not a custom one. If you have any custom keyboard apps/mods/skins/themes installed, try uninstalling those to figure out if any one of them may be causing the incompatibility.
Lastly, if all of this doesn't work, perhaps something's wrong with your dock or the connector. If reseating (disconnecting/reconnecting the dock) doesn't help, and possibly resetting the device to factory defaults or re-installing the ROM you're currently on, you might wanna get it checked out and possibly contact Asus for an RMA.

change to Asus keyboard for better consistency ??

When I plug the tablet to the dock I see this popup where or how do I set this?
I use thumb keyboard which I've set to my default input device (when not docked) in Settings/Language & Input. When I first got my dock and docked the Prime it said that. I went into Language & Input and set the default input to the Asus keyboard thinking that the dock would not work properly. After getting frustrated using the Asus touchscreen keyboard I changed my default back to Thumb keyboard. Ever since I did that I've never seen that message again.
