[Q] Recognizing OEM Keyboard dock in Tasker? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all:
Loving my new (bought used) 10.1 Tab, and I got the official Samsung keyboard dock.
Of course, the issue is the onscreen keyboard popping up now and then.
The question is whether there's a way for Tasker (or something similar) to detect if the tab's plugged into the keyboard dock? I tried setting it to a) detect docked state (desk or car), and then b) the 'keyboard out' hardware state.
Neither one works. I don't want to switch it based on whether it's plugged in, because often I'll plug it in with the keyboard, or without.
Anyone who's been there and can help? Thanks in advance!

Want to do the same,
ideas?

Here too....
Any ideas??

Trying to solve the same issue on the Note 10.1. Anyone resolve this?

Why does my connector stop working?

It seems like if I don't use my tab continuously, sometimes the 30-pin connector will stop connecting to things. I won't be able to use the keyboard dock or the charger until I reboot the device. Is this a known issue or do I have a defective Tab 10.1?
Thanks for the help.
Edit: I forgot to add that I was unable to connect to the WiFi yesterday until I rebooted.

[Q] Anyone experiencing HDMI Bluetooth lag?

I've posted in other threads about lag i've been experiencing (here, here and here).
As soon as i enable HDMI out the bluetooth keyboard and mouse start lagging and stuttering very badly. This happens with mirror mode (NON-Mod) or Webtop via Nebtop (Root App) or Fenny's mod(replacement APKs). I've run the fastboot on my phone to bring it back to non root stock and i've updated to the 748 VZW OTA update but i still get this issue even just using mirror mode.
Could someone else test this with their RAZR? I'd like to know if it's something defective with my device or with all RAZRs.
The reproduction steps are simple:
1. Pair a bluetooth HID Mouse or Keyboard
2. Connect the input device
3. Connect HDMI
4. Choose output mode (Webtop via hack or Mirror mode with no hacks required)
5. Try to type a text or move the mouse pointer around
I've tried this with different Monitors and televisions and also with different bluetooth mice and keyboards. I haven't found a combination which works smoothly yet. I also posted this issue in the Motorola owners forum. Not too much response there quite yet.
Thanks for the help if anyone can provide it!
I have just ordered my mini HDMI cable. It should be in on weekend so i will keep you posted on my results.
Got my dock station today and will be getting a Bluetooth keyboard in a couple days. I will report back as well.
UPDATE _ Been using the dock station with a Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard and a really cheap USB wireless mouse. The keyboard has no lag at all but the mouse lags a bit depending on what app is running or which dock mode I'm using. I've found that certain games and apps run with less lag in Web top mode and some work better on HDMI mirror mode. I messed with the mouse settings in Web top mode to make it more responsive but it still takes some getting used to. I don't think it's unuseable, but I can see noticeable lag that you have to compensate for.

Same issue on occasion
I have had this happen a few times. I am not sure what is causing it. I will reply back if I have anything further to add.
I don't have a bluetooth mouse or keyboard, but I have noticed a similar delay when playing games via HDMI using a sixaxis or wii controller.
Works fine for me.
Tested with stock UK razr rooted. Nebtop app and apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse. Although mouse behaves weird unless you set up the click rate and sensitivity.
same applies to mirror mode.
I guess its your keyboard/mouse that is causing trouble. Try different set of gear or change batteries.
Hope it helps
That's weird, i tried someone else's logitech bluetooth mouse and got the same issue. It was a mouse only, no keyboard or headphones this time and still had the issues.
I have the same problem. just purchased a dell bluetooth mouse and the apple bluetooth keyboard. they work great in the phone. But once in webtop mode, there is lag. I am using a quality HDMI cable, but use a rocketfish HDMI to DVI converter to the monitor. wondering if that is the issue.?

[Q] USB keyboard switching layouts

Hi everyone,
I got a small USB adaptor for my Samsung Galaxy SIII, and managed to connect a standard USB keyboard to the phone. It seems to work as expected. However, I'm unable to switch to a different layout, say Russian. Any advice is welcome. Maybe someone knows the magic key sequence?

Tablet case with keyboard doesn't work

Hello! I've just bought a case for my Dell Venue (3840) and it has a keyboard built-in with micro usb connector. It's something like this: http://www.tinydeal.com/protective-cover-stand-with-keyboard-for-7-tablet-pc-p-64754.html (The keyboard looks identical, only the outer side is different.)
The problem is, when I connect it to my tablet - it doesn't work. Somebody would say: the keyboard is faulty. It isn't - it works just fine with my Samsung Galaxy Note III.
Is there anything I can do to make it work with the Dell?
Here's USB Host Diagnostics result:

Kind regards
What's your input set to?
Input & language in settings when plugged in? I'd say note 3 is more advanced than these tablets and you might have to change it manually.
Well, it isn't even detected there. When I press Caps Lock or Numlock on the keyboard, LEDs won't even light up.
Hello,
I have similar problem with my Dell Venue 7, when I plug it into the mobile keyboard it will work for few minutes, but then the tablet stops recognizing the keyboard and the keys no longer work. I have to unplug and plug it again it back on to get them to reconnect. How can I fix it so they stay connected all the time?

Logitech Unifying receiver lag

I was using my wireless Logitech desktop set but I noticed some lag after not using it for some seconds. When I keep using the mouse or keyboard there is no problem and everything works fine. But when I stop typing or stop mousing for longer than three seconds, the tablet doesn't recognize any input anymore. When I move the mouse or use the keyboard, nothing happens, but after two seconds any input is recognized again.
So I have to keep typing or else I have to wait some seconds to let the tablet recognize any input. This is unworkable.
I tested it with two desktop sets with two different Unifying receivers. When I use a corded mouse or keyboard, everything's fine. It seems to me that there is some sort of logitech standby mode which the tablet can't handle or something.
What can I do abaout this?
Added logcat of connecting usb, a freeze moment, and the disconnection. But I see nothing wrong there...

I bought an other Logitech Wireless mouse (standard receiver, no Unify) and that one works perfectly. So it looks like it has something to do with Unify, not wireless in particular.
Anyone?!
The Shield tablet has the same issue:

Maybe it has something to do with the Tegra K1?

It is really annoying. My Shield Tablet is fantastic, except for this issue with the keyboard/mouse. Sad panda.

And no solutions yet. Maybe a different kernel will work, but I like to keep my N9 stock (the first months hehehe)
Any solution?
Has there been any solution to this issue yet? I too am having the same problem.
Work Around
I have a work around that seems to fix this issue. For this to work you will need to be root. Also note that this solution will cause all USB devices to remain on at all times and will not survive a reboot. My experience is mostly with linux and very little with android. I expect someone should be able to modify the following script fairly easily for a more permanent solution.
Open your favorite terminal emulator and type the following four commands pressing enter after each:
su
for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/control;
do echo on > $i;
done
This script toggles the power control setting for all usb devices from the auto state to always on. Hope this helps!
I have a slight lag with my logitech controller through USB OTG. It's just a split second lag, but it's there right from when you plug it in. Makes it unusable for gaming. No issues whatsoever with my Logitech bluetooth keyboard however.
