Any suggestions on how to stop Samsung virtual keyboard from popping up when using Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 keyboard dock?
The only idea I have seen so far is to use Titanium to delete the stock Galaxy Tab 10.1 keyboard?
Thanks!
Surely you could freeze it using titanium backup rather then uninstall it completely

Thank you for your reply.
I have never used Titanium and never rooted a device.
I guess it must be time to try both
what rom are you using? It shouldn't pop up at all if you are using the samsung keyboard.
As ezcats said, it shouldn't pop up all the time... The first time I used mine, it did, but just push the key on the physical keyboard to bring down the on-screen keyboard and shouldn't pop up anymore. It doesn't on the Canadian stock 3.2 anyway.

Every time I touch the screen, the virtual keyboard pops up. Is there anyway to stop this from happening when using the keyboard dock?
I'm using the galaxy note 10.1, but this was a thread I found in my google search. I figure the same would apply.

I had the same issue and found a work around from another member. Go to the play store and install the 'Null Keyboard' app.
When you first drop the Tab in to the keyboard, you will get a message about the device will be using the default on screen keyboard. After acknowledging the message, press the keyboard key on the physical keyboard. Then touch the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen and select 'Null Keyboard'. Done, no more on screen keyboard when touching an input field on the screen.
The only downside is that you will have to go through this process every time putting the Tab in the keyboard dock.
If this helps, click my Thanks button :good:

Is there a way to remove the on-screen keyboard(OSC) from popping up every time i dock my SGT? It's pretty annoying and surprising that samsung didn't notice this. I don't need an OSC popping up when i already have a keyboard present. besides, i could always call it up if i need it.
Thanks!
When you beginning typing, you will see a little keyboard icon in the notification steam. Touch it and change to the Samsung keyboard. That should do away with it. There are also two keyboard keys on the dock keyboard. One is 2-3 keys to the left of the spacebar and the other is above the shift key.
They seem to give you setting options and on demand pop up a touch keyboard

I've already tried changing to the samsung keyboard but it still keeps appearing. I know how to make it disappear by pressing on the key beside ctrl, but is there a way not to make the on screen keyboard appear at all when docked?
I have not found a repeatable amd tracable method. Sometimes changing soft keyboard to Samsung or English works go not make it appear. Sometimes it works other times it doesnt.
I am not really committing lot to figuring it out until after the TouchWiz update. But i have yet to excessively use the keyboard to be honest. So i may have more patience. It would be nice to be able to define a dock keyboard behavior and a handheld behavior. It is also annoying to switch back to thumb or swift keyboards.

I've tried installing different roms and kernels to try and fix this issue, but the "w" on the portrait keyboard doesn't work - instead it presses "q" and "e".
Is there a way on fixing the keyboard?
You need to go into the keyboard options and recalibrate that *****.

Sorry i'm a real noob, but how do you do that?
I cannot find a calibrate option for the life of me :l
when you get into your keyboard hit the little tire looking icon next to the mic.. And try the reset button in the options ^^

Which keyboard are you using?
I press the little cog and it takes me into "saumsung keypad settings" which has keyboard types, input language, xt9, keypad sweeping, character preview, auto-cap, handwriting settings, voice input, auto full stop and tutorial - but no reset?
Just the stock samsung keypad?
Ah yea the samsung one doesn't have a recalibrate option. I'm using the HTC keyboard, which has that option. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16368109#post16368109
When you're installed go to: settings>language and keyboard>HTC ime mod settings>text input...scroll to the bottom to calibration tool..
Hope it works!
Weird how you automatically thought he was using HTC_IME.
I installed that HTC keyboard - the W key on the keyboard still doesn't work - I think it may be to do with that location on the screen?
Paired with this, I can't add contacts to my phone :l I'm using Litening ROM v5 :S
Very odd, could be a faulty screen...may be something to do with the roms you've been flashing..they can make things go funny sometimes.
Can't help with the contacts issue, I've only used stock on this phone.
I think just take it to the shop (after you've flashed original rom of course, and got rid of the yellow triangle thing), and swap it for a new one.
Good luck.
I'd like to use a USB keyboard for terminal-type stuff or long emails. Unfortunately, the darn on-screen keyboard pops up taking half the screen.
Does anyone know of a keyboard I can install that doesn't show a keyboard on-screen?
If you're using swiftkey x can you swipe down to hide the Keyboards?

Search Null Keyboard in the market. It stops the pop-up.
My Samsung Galaxy Note™ SGH-I717 is smarter than your Honor Student.
I have purchased together with the s3 the original keyboard case, which was around $130.
Most of the times is a convenient accessory to use, especially if you type a lot. I have one annoying issue though. Sometimes, when i pressbthe space button, it changes keyboard languages instead, which is a physical button on the keyboard itself just next tonthe space button. It doesn't matter jow hard you press the space (initially i thought i apply to much pressure on the key and somehow accidentally pressing the other key). It seems the only way to fix it is to unpin the keyboard and connect it back again ( which is annoying cause it takes some time and effort, it turns off the screen etc.).
Did anyone faced similar issues?

This is caused by you typing too quickly (and no I'm not joking)
There is a keyboard shortcut to change language which is Shift-Space.
so if I want a capital letter, then type a space, I end up typing SHIFT-SPACE and getting the same language issue.
I've not found a way of disabling or changing the shortcuts.

It is not that. Many people around having issues. Many times it just changes the cursor position. Samsung actually is aware of this issue.

Is there a link to a page within Samsung that I can periodically check to see when this issue is addressed? (or some equivalent forum thread within Samsung XDA or elsewhere?
I am trying to use the keyboard case for a lot of text entry, but I find that sometimes it will playup. it will still allow text entry, but when I press the space bar it will skip back to the beginning of the current word before entering the space.
has anybody seen this issue?

Welcome to my world. This seems to be a widely spread issue. It is not clear whether it is cover's issue or the tablet itself. I have sent my cover for replacement, hoping it will fix the problem. However, i do believe that it has to do with the tablet itself. Probably the connector. Try to take to service center if you can. My problem is i have to send it all the way to USA and i am in Europe

Same issue here, hopefully they come up with a fix soon.

I've that issue, too. I found that it has s/th to do with the language settings. If you write a correct spelled word all is ok. If you have spelling mistakes the cursor jumps to the beginning of the wrong written word.
Unfortunately I've no time to discover this further.
Hope s/o comes up with a solution to prevent this annoying behavior.
Do you all use a different software keyboard than the stock Samsung one? I use Swype, and when I connect the keyboard, it acts strangely until I switch it to the Samsung keyboard (search+space on hardware keyboard).

I logged a problem with Samsung. It is a bug in their stock keyboard which you need to use for s-pen functions. They don't seem to be planning to do anything to fix the issue. Using an alternate soft keyboard for when an external keyboard is in use was my only solution
Make sure you all formally lodge the problem with Samsung support.

Ok.. So I downloaded swiftkey app but the problem now is that for some reason I wasn't able to add two languages under this keyboard app for the physical keyboard settings.
Under the physical keyboard settings in samsung I have now 3 languages:
1. samsung keyboard - Hebrew
2. samsung keyboard - English
3. Swiftkey - Hebrew
I want to add Swiftkey - English but wasn't able to do so...
anyone who is using swiftkey with two languages and with physical keyboard?
Nowadays you can see technology will upgrade day by day. If you have this keyboard problem on your tablet, then you should try latest OSU tablet for your work.
