I recently flashed the official ics update for the p7310, and installed Chrome. I noticed that when entering text using the samsung keyboard dock, some of the keys don't work as expected. The period key seems to be acting as the delete key, the delete key does nothing, the quote key seems to be acting as a right arrow key, but only sometimes, and the on screen keyboard button does nothing.
needless to say, trying to type this post has been quite fun.
this just a bug in Chrome? Anyone have any ideas for a work-around? Or do I just have to not use Chrome when I want to use the keyboard dock?
I thought I was the only one and it was a random bug. I can verify that this has happened to me as well.

Hi,
I don't have the keyboard dock but I don't have any screen issues.
I type just fine on chrome?
What is the language of your tablet? I have english (united kindgom)... maybe that's it...
have you select the samsung onscreen keyboard while using the dock ?
i read somewhere the onscreen keyboard has to be set to the samsung one when using the dock.
i have the dock but no ics for me till now (p7300 3g unbranded)

Yes, I have the onscreen keyboard set to samsung when I use the dock. For some reason, it always auto-switches to the samsung keyboard when I put it in the dock, even though the text that pops up says to manually switch it.
Ironically enough, i just tried setting the keyboard to swiftkey while using the keyboard dock, and my period key is now working correctly in chrome.
I guess I can live with that as a workaround when I want to use the keyboard dock in chrome. Delete key still doesn't work though and the quote key is still tempermental.

Hi
I recently bought a keyboard dock ECR-K10D for my tab.The keyboard works fine.Except when i use it for Thinkfree Office.I am able to use it to create new documents & type accordingly. However, when i try to create a new spreadsheet & type in it there's no input registered, i have to tap the screen & then only the characters are registered as an input. I thought it was a software issue but the touch type keyboard works fine onscreen.the "issue" happens only when I dock the tab in the keyboard dock. Anyone out there facing anything similar or shud i try another office app?
I just picked up that keyboard as well a few days ago. Only spent about 20min on it thus far. Seem to work fine as far as nav around the home screens and menu. Only tried a note app for a moment to try out the typing and it was perfect. My keyboard is at work, so tomarrow I will try it out in a speadsheet of thinkfree. I will get back to you then.
I did see one issue. Some times when I undock from the keyboard, and then redock a few minutes later, the keyboard does not want to work. It makes the sound as if has docked, but nothing. I can undock and redock once or twice to get it back working. My settings are set to the keyboard and not Swipe. (just like the manual recomended) No biggie just can be a hassel. Have you run in to this?(or has anyone else that may be reading?)

Grem,
Your 100% correct. I comfirm that the keyboard does not work for inputting data in cells of the spreadsheet program of Thinkfree. The word processor program of Thinkfree works great with the keyboard from what I can tell.
Well, hopefully we will not run in to this very often with other apps.

Hi everyone. My hardware keyboard works in OpenRecovery. Also the volume buttons and camera button. But, when I am in Android, hardware keyboard don't work. There is no entry in keyboard settings for hardware keyboard, but just for android keyboard(the touchable one). If I open hardware keyboard, phone change orentation into landscape mode, lights on keyboard are on, but the touchable keyboard opens too.(the hardware keyboard don't work). I am using this ROM for about week or two, but problem comes after yesterday reboot. How can I get my hardware keyboard working again? Any help is appreciated.

You can try wiping caches in OR, or installing another keyboard such as SwiftKey X Beta, it works for the virtual and hardware keyboard, it might kick your phone into recognizing the hardware keyboard.

Wipping cache didn't resolve the problem. Also installing SwiftKey X Beta and MultiLing Keyboard didn't resolve the problem. I hope there is another way than flashing ROM and full wipe.

If you use an ext partition, you can do the full wipe without any issues, your apps will stay on your SD card. If not, try using TitaniumBackup to backup your apps to your SD card, in the worst case scenario.

I have both Swift and Slideit keyboards and have managed to set the slideit keyboard as the default keyboard, however whenever I turn the phone off and back on or sometimes not even that, the keyboard defaults back to the Sense keyboard. This is the first sense keyboard that I really do NOT Like at all but cannot get rid of. Is there anyone else that is having the same issue?

For some reason there was an Indic keyboard on mine. All kinds of strange symbols on the keys. And for some reason it kept turning it on. I finally disabled it in Apps which seems to have fixed the problem and my Swiftkey keboard is staying as default
I had the same issue with Swype. Fixed it by making it a system app.

Same issue in hox and hos with Jelly...
But you can resolve with a freeze of HTC_IME.apk...
In hox rom works fine
Try
I'm sure it's been asked before I can't find it. I've been using SwiftKey and love it but sometimes it'll switch back to the sense keyboard. Sometimes SwiftKey sticks for weeks and sometimes it switches every time I open the keyboard back up. Why is this? Maybe because SwiftKey hibernates because of greenify?

Could be. I'm using SwiftKey as well and I am stock and unrooted - no problem. SwiftKey will stick until I change to Sense keyboard.

If you hibernate SwiftKey(greenify) , it won't stick. Otherwise it should be working perfectly normal
Alright, I unhibernated it. Let's see if this helps.

Ok I have changed in settings keyboard and language to swype but it keeps reverting back to the google keyboard I prefer Swype but cannot get it to stick any one have any suggestions??
Go into a text input field in any app so that the keyboard comes up. Next, swipe down the notification bar and in the list you should have an item that says "choose input method". Tap on that and change your keyboard. See if that sticks.

Go into the settings for Language and Input.
There's an area to specify which of your keyboards should be the default one.
Select Swype there and you're golden.
Thanks guys it still reverts back though
I use an app called SwiftKey which seems quite a bit more accurate compared to Google Swype and it does your dictionary in the cloud if you ever change phones.
