Right now it's set to android keyboard, how I switch to standard keyboard? I'm asking because I can't find keyboard settings in the settings menu.
Thanks!

When keyboard is opend, hold on your screen on the symbol button. After ( about 2sec) you will get a option list. Voila, that's it
OK i HATE that this thing has no way to manually trigger the keyboard. Inevitably I find text entry forms everywhere that will not trigger it, OR WORSE..
IE the search function for this site, click it, the keyboard pops up, and the search options poof! On my DX i can manually bring up the KB, then click search, and it STAYS UP!!!
So anyhow, is there anyway conceivable to add a manual keyboard softkey, or notification button to this thing?

there is a way to have the keyboard button on your notifications:
Settings > Language & input > Keyboard Settings > Input Method Selector > Always Show
not sure why you are having the exact problem you are though, i haven't experienced it and ive been using the browser very heavily.
if you open the Xoom Android Development Forum,
then just above the right side you click the search button,
It does not open the search popup only to vanish when your keyboard appears?
This happens to me on multiple devices!!!
and that setting does not actually work
I have this issue on few sites as well, android seems to simply not recognize some text input boxes...even though I can place a cursor, there's non way to force-launch the keyboard, like long-pressing the menu button does on a lot of phones...

Thos seems to do nothing for me
That setting will make the keyboard icon show up when the keyboard is triggered. It let's you switch between multiple keyboards on the fly (or voice input).
so any ideas for how to manualy use the keyboard ?
Im on stock Ec05 and while looking at the keyboard setting i found an (kinda) interesting setting. Go to Setting>Locale and Text. Select the default keyboard to Samsung, then go to Samsung keypad settings, select Portrait keypad types, select Handwriting box 1 or 2. Now instead of having a keyboard to type with, you could just write the word out with your finger and it will recognize it. Thought I'd share.
I think the T9 keyboard app has this feature as well. I tried it, and it works, but it is definitely slower than just tapping on the keys.
I just bought my elderly dad an iconia. He's been typing away in Vietnamese with a keyboard and an onscreen viet symbols on the viewsonic gtablet.
The problem is honeycomb won't have an onscreen keyboard pop up if you have a usb keyboard plugged in. Please help me. Is there anyway I can enable both the physical and soft keyboards so he can type Vietnamese symbols?

I haven't tried it, but I would try tapping and holding the input field and see if a pop up menu comes up with the option of showing the soft keyboard?
I think you can push the up key on the tablet to bring it up, theres also settings i believe for the keyboard.
I can't seem to disable it, it still vibrates whenever i press a letter on the keyboard. Everything else is disabled though.
Where is the option for haptic feedback for the keyboard?

Most keyboards have haptic feedback option in keyboard settings. At least stock and SwiftKey.
Go to language & input and untick vibrate on key press in settings next to the keyboard you are using.

The problem is i can't find it in there. There is no haptic feedback button in the Language & input section of Settings.
