[Q] Note taking with Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I, apparently like many of you, have purchased the logitech android keyboard and I couldn't be more than pleased with the functionality. However there are a few things that it seems it is capable of that I have yet to figure out how to work.
Under language and input on physical keyboard settings I see the option to enable auto replace, auto capitalization, and auto punctuate. However I have not been able to see this actually function. Any feedback on anyone successfully using this would be great!
Also, what note taking apps have you guys been using? Anyone know of any that will make use of ctrl B, ctrl U, and ctrl I? What about bullet points, very few apps I've noticed have this feature. Any recommendations would help!

[Q] spell checking while using the keyboard dock

Many smartphones autocorrect the typos that we make on their physical keyboards.. would love that on this dock too.. Is there any soft keyboard that supports autocorrecting while using a physical keyboard? The ones on here don't seem too..
On the desktop at least misspelled words show up in red (under google chrome or most mail clients.) - but there isn't any indication that you're making a typo on the transformer..
-mark
ps - keyboard dock has been working great for the past hour or so
having come from using firefox I miss adblock, spell check and left pane bookmarks. Shame firefox mobile is so poor. I think a change in browser will give you the spell check your after.

FYI: Firefox mobile DOES have adblock plus... it works extremely well.

I agree - I've become completely reliant on spell checkig
There should be something though. under the keyboard settings there is a heading "Physical Keyboard" and there is a option called Auto-Replace - correct mistyped words. I've never seen it do anything though? I use Thumb Keyboard for my screen keyboard, maybe that is messing with it?
I found one that seems to work, called ultra keyboard (there's a trial).
One thing that makes it different is the fact that you can select corrections rather than just allow the first one (you can select them with the arrow keys, so your finger doesn't have to touch the screen).
Let me know how it works for you.

swiftkey tablet workes kindOF
using swiftkey tblet will help you a lot if you are writing english, but it will mess up your keybord if you want to write in german or an other language, because it will change your keybord into english loosing all special charecters. even though I have a german keybordlayout, the instance I set up swiftkey as my touchkeybord my phisikalkeybord gets changed.
otherwise it would be perfect because swiftkey actually gives you the option for wordsugjestion while using phisikalkeybord,..
I am now looking for an office app with spell check since I do a lot of article writing on the the TF in german,.. any suggestions?

[Q] Bluetooth Keyboard quicklaunch keys

Hello all,
I have been using my acer a500 with its bluetooth keyboard for work forever - I work in a car and built a nice dock for it etc. I have recently moved to the N7 and I have the same keyboard. It has all the quicklaunch keys at the top (search, volume, browser, email, camera, files, music...... etc)
I would love to be able to use these for what they are labeled (or better yet assign things to what I want them). Is there an app out there or something I can edit? I have searched high and low and cannot find anything.... I need to go take those Google powersearching classes.....
TLR Looking for an app or where to edit to use bluetooth keyboard quicklaunch buttons.
Thank you so much for any help!

Jellybean keyboard input issues

Sorry for posting here but it is only place I can as it's my first post.
So I've turned to XDA as I thought I would bring my TF101 into teh world of JellyBean.
Following the excellent guides on here I easily rooted and flashed the thing with Team EOS Jellybean ROM.
Went like a dream and a big thank you to the people who have invested so much time and effort.
I have a strange issue though:
Type in the address bar of the browser or in a Tapatalk post the keyboard pops up
Type one letter and it minimises.
I touch to type again and it appears
I can only type a few letters (sometimes only one) before it minimises again
this continues ..
The keyboard is basically unusable. Anyone had a similar issue?
Sounds like you are using the TeamEOS 4 ROM.
From TimDuru's page is notes:
- Default AOSP Soft keyboard crashing if using auto-suggestion
=> workaround: Go to the keyboard settings and change to Auto-correction off + Show correction suggestions:always hide.
You can also fallback to gapps 20121229 (no swipe feature with that version though)
See here for more issues and workarounds: http://public.timduru.org/Android/tf101/eos4/

Have this problem too for certain apps running EOS4 but mostly when using tapatalk its weird. Switched auto correct off and turned off suggestions but still happens sometimes Besides that Lil bug EOS is very smooth.

I use Thumb Keyboard on my 10" tablets, and Swift Key on my Nexus 7 and phone. I hate the stock keyboard anyway.

Cheers everyone, turning off the settings above seemed to have done trick. I'll look at other keyboards and have a read through the issues etc.

I have same kind of problem but with Opera mobile browser. Text input in address bar works fine but input for any other input boxes in websites is pain in the ass. I manage to write one or two letter for example in login screen when keyboard vanished. That is strange since Opera uses its own keyboard layout.

OK I got this sorted out. Fistly Opera uses Android keyboard. I installed from google play Jelly bean keyboard (VLLWP) and it works fine.

Keyboard and mouse suggestions

I want to get a roll up easy to store keyboard, the only ones I see use Bluetooth 2.0. Does anyone have experience with those.
I would appreciate suggestions for both.

Slide Aside, Q Slide and q memo. Good work LG!

Hello guys! The first thing that positively surprised me the first time I used my gpad was the improvement given by LG software.
In particular Slide Aside(too freeze an app) Q Slide (kind of multi windows experience) and quick memo are very good. How can I the same feature on other devices (like my galaxy s4, where samsung software are only garbage).
Any third part software?
Thanks

I don't know... I personally find slide aside and qslide kind of worthless. What I find useful is the built in samba server over wifi - now that's useful.
not all the program have a real resume function, so I need to find something similar for my smart phone. It's all depending on a how you use the phone

I guess I'm not clear how using qslide is all that much different than holding home and switching tasks that way. I mean I guess qslide may prevent the garbage collector from killing an app before you are ready... but I've never seen that be an issue in any practical use since it doesn't clean up right away.
Now, one thing that I stumbled upon today that is really nice is when you copy text, a widget comes out with all of your recent copy's! Now That is Really Handy! Now, how to get back to it once it disappears...

I didn't know about the samba server. How do you make use of it?
Go to Settings, under Wireless Networks, choose More... and enable Wireless storage. And yes, it rocks.

Guess it's just on the stock rom. I'm using mahdi-rom and its not an option. Guess I could install am app to that, if I need it.
I'm sure there are decent apps out there, I was just impressed that LG would include something so useful that does require some technical knowledge. It requires you to \\<ip> and login with a provided username/pw.

Anywhere that you're going to enter text, press and hold the screen. There will be two options, Paste, or Clip Tray. Clip Tray will get you everything you've copied.
It also comes up in a menu when you highlight a word, for example when copying, it should give an option for Clip Tray as well

I found what you mean with the Clip Tray. That'll work. Thanks!
See please
Hello to all! Do you know any apk (module) that is the same the QSlide of LG G Pad?
