I have a Galaxy Tab 8.9 WIFI model with The Samsung Keyboard dock where you stick your tablet in but i have now one problem Some buttons on the keyboard are not working on ICS Honeycomb 3.2 it was working fine.
Buttons that are not working Are:
- Home button On keyboard
- Recent apps Button on Keyboard
- Internet shortcut
- Brightness up and down
- Mute volume
- Play Pause, Next track
- Apps tab On keyboard
- Hide Keyboard
Buttons that are working Are:
- Back button on keyboard
- Numbers from 1 to 0
- You can write
- Tab
- Caps lock
- Shift
- Ctrl
- Search shotcut
What can cause this Problem is the Keyboard dock just not compitable with ICS?
I suspect that it won't work fully until Samsung releases the official ICS update. My assumption is that the AOKP ROMs lack the necessary drivers for the keyboard (and the built in camera as well).

Okee Thanks for the answer!
In the stock rom you have to use the samsung keyboard while using the dock to get all the features. To use the keyboard dock with a custom ICS rom someone will have to port the samsung keyboard to ICS. I have tried but have been unsuccessful so far (probably a libs issue).

Hmmm - didn't know that. Haven't even opened the keyboard dock that I got bundled with my 8.9 - since I knew it didn't work with the ICS ROMs.
Any update?
Hi guys, I just purchased the keyboard dock and its not working. When I plug the charger into the charger port, it does charge my tablet.
I have the galaxy tab 8.9 LTE running the jellybean AOKP rom from dan-htc-touch.
Should I try to change my rom to see if there's any change?

I'm not sure why android continues to so this, but why can't they allow for long press options on the keyboard? My phone keyboard shows the numbers as long press options at the top, my tablet does not.
The only long press options on the keyboard are punctuations.
Is there a way to fix this? Use phone keyboard on tablet?

I wonder why that is as well. I looked through all the keyboard settings and didn't see an option for that but really would like to have it.
Try the Swype Beta keyboard (google it). Numbers are a long press.
Not really interested in swype or any of the other keyboard options. I like stock functions the best, just curious about the long press buttons missing in tablet format.
Personally that's the reason why I use stock keyboard on my Tablet. I use Swiftkey on my phone because it's quick, and the Gingerbread keyboard isn't as nice as the stock Jelly Bean. I really like how it isn't cluttered and is just clean.
When i touch the screen, and the softbuttons at the bottom light up, the physical keyboard also lights up. any way to make it only light up if i open the keyboard?
That's not normal behaviour - have you got a custom ROM installed, or some other app that might be controlling the backlight?
I was running aokp. I changed over to Pac man Rom and it is fixed

The only way I can think you can do this is to root your phone & use the app Tasker, with this im 99.9% possitive that this can be done
If this helps press that thanks button :thumbup:

Hi!
I've been searching all over for this and couldn't find anything... I have a Samsung GT-PT1010 (forgotten device) which can't be upgraded to ICS and I'm not inclined to upgrade it to Gingerbread. However using imitation ICS settings app and the Go HD Launcher makes it pretty usable.
Only thing missing is the bottom-left corner Back, Home, Apps Running buttons! Does anyone know of such an app or maybe some mode of customization to imitate these buttons? The device in built buttons are simply inconvenient.
thanks for any pointers!!!

Hi there,
I have kinda the same problem with my P1010 but for a different reason. My capacitive navigation buttons have started to die, so I decided to use something called Button Saviour. You can customize it to look like the navigational soft keys on many different devices including the stock android and HTC style buttons. Hope this helps!
I will check this out, thank you!
Keyboard Manager Plus is a full remake of the original Keyboard Manager, for non-rooted devices!
This version retains all the functionality of the free + paid version of Keyboard Manager.
It lets you customize which keyboard to use based on your device configuration.
The supported configurations include hard keyboard toggle, orientation switch, apps switch, and docking.
As your device goes through each configuration, the app automatically switch the keyboard by invoking the 'Select input method' dialog, and selecting the appropriate keyboard.
Google Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ne0fhykLabs.android.utility.kmplus
NOTE:
- KM+ acts as an accessibility service, and as such, it needs to be enabled from the Android Accessibility screen in the Android Settings.
- Optimized for Samsung Galaxy S4
- In docking mode, Android DayDream interferes with the keyboard switch.
i purchased the original root version a long time ago (before it was free).
i just purchased this version now to say "thanks" for continuing to support the root version all this time - its a very handy and unique app and it still works great on my galaxy nexus.
Hello.
I purchased Keyboard Manager Plus because of a problem between Samsung and External Keyboard Helper.
Each time the phone detects that a Bluetooth keyboard was connected/disconnected, it changes from whatever keyboard was set to Samsung keyboard.
How do I have to setup Keyboard Manager Plus to put back from Samsung keyboard to the External Keyboard Helper each time I connect the Bluetooth keyboard to my smartphone?

When I'm using swype gestures to type on the stock keyboard I constantly get a pop up to change the keyboard. I originally thought it was because my thumb was grazing over the space button for too long but after analyzing the issue it seems to pop up at random. Could this be due to the aosp keyboard conflicting with the Google keyboard installed from gapps? I'm running chroma and I installed the complete stock gapps package. Anyone have a clue what's going on?
