Some web pages using Chrome browser and the Asus tablet I can't enter info ie typing. I have to switch between enabling Java to type. If I don't get the flashing line to enter type I go to settings and either enable Java or disable, then I can type. Doesn't happen all the time but it happens too often. I use desktop site in settings. I also get that icon to change keyboard in the upper left on the task bar because I use the Google keyboard not the ZenUi keyboard.

Is there a way to completely disable the onscreen keyboard that seems to pop up at the most innoportune time when editing text data? Whenever I'm using my exec in 'mini laptop' mode, i have access to a full keyboard, and having the on screen keyboard pop up, using 3/4 of the screen height, rendering whatever I was working on unusable, well, that's... frustrating.
Is there a way to disable that keyboard? Registry tweak maybe? TIA!
Try a null keyboard app. PHM has one. There are others too, a big review of them on Brighthand.

Thanks! Sounds like it'll do the trick.
Also, you can simply start typing using your hardware keyboard instead of removing the soft keyboard by clicking on the icon. It will disapear, and will not reopen for this app.
If you click on the keyboard icon to remove it from the screen, it will come back next time.
Here try this NullKeyboard. It works fine on my Exec: http://personales.ya.com/beemer/prod03.htm
this program don't work for me. everytime i select it, my soft keyboard comes back.
So far I'm really liking my Xoom but the browser keeps bugging me. Is there a way to change the theme of the browser? The dark browser is driving me crazy.
Also instead of going to a homepage is it possible to have a New Tab page like chrome has now?
I am noticing that some pages are not rendering very well. If you go to eBay's page some of the graphics and drop down arrows are blurry or grainy is the any fix for this?
I dont have it next to me, but you can always try switching it to a desktop version or something...
open a page, then in the address bar replace the web address with "About:debug" and hit enter (no quotes). Then hit the browser menu button, go to settings and the in the left menu choose debug. Click UA String and change it to desktop. Close the settings, retype the web address and hit enter and you should be viewing as a desktop browser. See if that helps at all.
Labs > Most Visited Homepage. That will make it show as chrome does. Some sites will have those minor issues, as they aren't optimized for mobile view.

Been using this for my home/new tab page for a few days now and its awesome. No bugs showing pages yet.
Hi everyone,
i think thread title says it all...
I already hated this stupid mobile view of websites in my Android smartphone.
Now it sucks even more on my tablet. i want to see webpages in desktop view style. I have found no way to change that in the stock browser.
Only in the Dolphin HD browser I an choose wether I want mobile or desktop views of website. And it even works. But actually I would prefer the stock browser.
Thank you.

Try This:
1. Open the Android Honeycomb browser on your tablet.
2. In the address bar, type: about:debug and press enter (it will appear that nothing changed).
3. Now open the browser's settings by tapping the icon in the very top-right corner of your screen (it looks like four horizontal lines) and selecting "Settings" from the drop-down menu that appears.
4. On the left side of the screen, tap the section labeled "Debug."
5. On the right side of the screen, tap the item labeled "UAString," then select "Desktop."
6. Press the back button (in the very bottom-left corner of your screen) to exit the browser's settings.
7. In the browser's address bar, type: about:debug once more; this will disable debugging mode and return the browser to its normal state.
That should make it load the "desktop" versions of websites for you!
any chance of getting this change to stick? It seems that I have to change this every time I start the browser.

You change this once and then the change wil persist
only sticks until you reboot,kind of annoying wish someone could write a script or something to automate this.
Sorry but either will lose setting periodically for no apparent reason. Absolutely needs to be automated.
i would love this too..
Hi,
I just instapp Win 8 cp on my Dell Latitude XT, and it seems to work pretty well.
A stupid thing I did - I removed the tile in the start screen for the immersive/metro IE, on the assumption that it would be easy to put it back, but I have no idea how to do that... Uninstalling ("turn windows features on/off") and reinstalling IE didn't help.
Any tips... ?
Thanks!
Try putting your mouse in the upper right hand corner of your screen to access the hidden sidebar. Click the search icon to access your total apps list. You should see the IE icon. Right click it to bring up your action bar at the bottom of the screen. You can repin the app to the start menu from there.
Hope that helps!

Nope, doesn't show up there. I deleted the tile from the start screen, so then it shouldn't show up there, should it? Accessing searching through applications like this, it isn't different from just typing on the start screen, is it? I have icon there that I created later for the desktop IE, but none for Metro IE (immersive). I do have Firefox as my default browser though, that might complicate things...
Just set IE as default browser and Metro IE will be back.
You can set default program for webpage as the Firefox in "Set Default Program" (by click "Choose defaults for this program" button)
Nope, that didn't work either...
Hi I have just bought a 32G Nexus 7 and have stumbled across a really annoying problem. When using the on screen keyboard in some apps, I cant enter an @ symbol. It is nowhere on the keyboard. It does however appear on the keyboard in the most apps.
I noticed it when using a remote control app for my WDTV, I needed to enter my email address into a field, but the @ key was missing. It used the same keyboard that is used when typing an address into chrome. (If you check that one out you will see what I mean)
Is it possible to force an app to use a particular keyboard? I went through all the available options and couldn't seem to fix it.
Thanks for any advice.
