I just got my nexus 9 lte (yeah) and am trying to figure out how to use it with the $$$ keyboard folio
What does the search button do? When I press it it just turns off the screen :? Is it just meant to be a helper key like CTRL or ALT?
On a related note, using Fenix, can anyone search for things using the enter key? For example, I click search, type something to search for, and click enter... nothing happens. I was going to ask in the Feinx thread, but wanted to start here first. Works fine with the on screen keyboard.

Hey, maybe this is common knowledge, but a quick search didn't get any hits. If you're looking for the back slash (\) on the keyboard, press the 123# key and then the Shift key. It will bring up a second keyboard with more symbols and stuff. Hope this helps. I needed a back slash to authenticate to a Windows network using my domain\username combination.

123# key, then the Shift Up.
Don't worry, this was a tricky one -- I had to look at my own device to figure that one out.
I thought it was just me! I added a different keyboard to my tab so that I could setup my exchange account! LOL

I had to get a diff keyboard also, but because I needed Esc, Tab, and cursor keys. Ended up w Smart keyboard.

smart keyboard installation problem
How did you get Smart Keyboard to load? I have installed it; it comes up on settings/language & keyboard, but I can't get the box to check ( I get the warning message).
Does the PRO version (which I have) need to be validated on the gpad?
I am running a stock ROM v.3588
I am afraid I already know the answer to this but hopefully there is a way. I was doing some stuff on the web and one of the pages was a registration form. The field for state was a dropdown box. The list item I needed was at the bottom so I needed to scroll down the list but there was no way to do so. Is there a way to do this?
Have u tried the dpad on the keyboard? Just a thought idk if that works just haven't run into that issue yet
I can't get the keyboard to come up. Once I leave the field for City, the keyboard goes away.

Long press on the menu button always brings the keyboard back...
.
On all Android devices, there are long press shortcuts and key-combination shortcuts.
There are the actual Android shortcuts, and some vendors such as Archos install their own.
I have never found any vendor that gives a full description of their devices shortcuts so I always either search Google (in the case of key-combination shortcuts) for any, other users have found, and long press every button on my device (front and keyboard in all applications...) to find out whats there.
Still working on this new device but seems to be limited to basic Android at mo.
I tried the long press. Maybe it is that web page's design. I have found that long pressing only lets you get to the keyboard in apps that require some kind of typing input. When I long press on that field, the keyboard never comes up.

Yeah, there are plenty of places where long press does not work.
Hi
Since upgrading to jellybean ive noticed a small flaw in the search from keyboard.
Basically on ICS if i just tapped away on the keyboard it would automatically bring up the search.
For example without pressing the search button, if I just typed ANDROID, it would appear normally in the search field.
Now with JB if I type ANDROID, the A ends up at the end, it's almost like the cursor skips back. So as soon as I enter the "A" the cursor then shifts left and as I continue typing it ends up like this NDROIDA
It's a real pain, as I loved the keyboard search the way it was, does anyone have anyidea on how to clear this or am i the only person who this seems to effect.
Many thanks

Can anyone confirm they have the same issue ???
I never use the search soft button on the 717. Is there any way to reuse it to launch an application or something else?
written in your mud with my stick.
On another galaxy phone there was an app that let you do anything with any button. I made the search button put the phone to sleep.
Don't some of the newer roms allow for it? I swear mine has been the flashlight button ...at least on the lock screen. Unless my decaying brain is just messing with me.

It used to work fine for me with this:

I would swap my menu and search button for ease of use.

if you hold the button down at least google voice search should launch. Maybe a couple other app options.
Btw, deleting voice_talk_q1.apk from system/app on JB will enable google voice search if you long press search. Rather then the samsung svoice only.

I don't think this works with jelly bean, but maybe some one can figure it out.

Hi, well I've searched google and this forum i cant find any fixes. Thanks in advance for your help. Hope this also helps someone out with the same problem.
Archos gamepad suddenly has button mapping issues and i dont know how to fix it.
Problem: the following buttons all map to the same value "button x". So their actual button's proper value isnt being read. So what i mean is, if i use any emulator or app (even the archos mapping tool) and if i try to map any of these following buttons, they all map to the same value. List of buttons that are giving me this problem :
Up, left, start, X, A.
So its incredibly frustrating if im in an emulator and want to map button Up to Up in the app. Because instead it thinks ive pushed the X button. The analogs still work, but this is crazy i cant figure out whats wrong.
Problem exists in the homescreen also!
Things ive tried to fix this:
Reinstalling the latest firmware
Restoring back to factory defaults
Does anyone have any advice ?
I Swear I've had it with this archos gamepad. First i thought the ghost screen touches were annoying, now this has started to happen. Just dont buy one, i dont recommend!

Hello yousef, im afraid this is not the problem. it cannot be resolved with app updates, it looks like i need to hack the device.
Ive even disabled all mapping tools and still it behaves like this.
Right now i found that if i hold down the X button, the device behaves properly and reads the buttons correctly!! What madness is this, the only way i can use the device properly is to hold down the x button?? I may have to glue it down or something? it even solves the ghost screen touching!
i have resorted to this ghetto fix for now:

i have rooted it. i need to completely disable the Button X. can someone help me? I want to somehow edit some settings in some file to completely disable the X Button. So i dont want the button to function anymore.
i also believe the X button behaves like the Back Button in Android OS. And so maybe i should look for a way to disable the Back Button? Anyone have some advice?
thank you

You could modify some file /system/usr/keylayout/
You must find the right file for the buttons, and comment out line for X.
I wish you luck, because I can't help you more precisely.
