Hello! I've just bought a case for my Dell Venue (3840) and it has a keyboard built-in with micro usb connector. It's something like this: http://www.tinydeal.com/protective-cover-stand-with-keyboard-for-7-tablet-pc-p-64754.html (The keyboard looks identical, only the outer side is different.)
The problem is, when I connect it to my tablet - it doesn't work. Somebody would say: the keyboard is faulty. It isn't - it works just fine with my Samsung Galaxy Note III.
Is there anything I can do to make it work with the Dell?
Here's USB Host Diagnostics result:

What's your input set to?
Input & language in settings when plugged in? I'd say note 3 is more advanced than these tablets and you might have to change it manually.
Well, it isn't even detected there. When I press Caps Lock or Numlock on the keyboard, LEDs won't even light up.
Hello,
I have similar problem with my Dell Venue 7, when I plug it into the mobile keyboard it will work for few minutes, but then the tablet stops recognizing the keyboard and the keys no longer work. I have to unplug and plug it again it back on to get them to reconnect. How can I fix it so they stay connected all the time?

It seems like if I don't use my tab continuously, sometimes the 30-pin connector will stop connecting to things. I won't be able to use the keyboard dock or the charger until I reboot the device. Is this a known issue or do I have a defective Tab 10.1?
Thanks for the help.
Edit: I forgot to add that I was unable to connect to the WiFi yesterday until I rebooted.
Hi all:
Loving my new (bought used) 10.1 Tab, and I got the official Samsung keyboard dock.
Of course, the issue is the onscreen keyboard popping up now and then.
The question is whether there's a way for Tasker (or something similar) to detect if the tab's plugged into the keyboard dock? I tried setting it to a) detect docked state (desk or car), and then b) the 'keyboard out' hardware state.
Neither one works. I don't want to switch it based on whether it's plugged in, because often I'll plug it in with the keyboard, or without.
Anyone who's been there and can help? Thanks in advance!
Want to do the same,
ideas?
Here too....

Hi everyone,
I got a small USB adaptor for my Samsung Galaxy SIII, and managed to connect a standard USB keyboard to the phone. It seems to work as expected. However, I'm unable to switch to a different layout, say Russian. Any advice is welcome. Maybe someone knows the magic key sequence?
Hello all,
I recently bought an Android tv box and I want to put it in my car. I bought also a 7" digitiser and a "digitizer to usb interface from Adafruit named ar1100" that help me to connect via USB the digitiser and the Tv box.
My problem is that I have set up the interface and when I connect to my tv box using USB, it works as a touchpad , not like a touchscreen. This means that I see a cursor and I need to move that cursor like the touchpad from the laptop.. I want to activate the function where the digitiser works as it is designed.
I have read on some forums that is a "Touch mode" function that can be activated but from what I understand, it is made by developers which insert some lines in the source code...
Do you please have any suggestion for me in order to find a solution? Or an .apk that can solve this?
Thank you very much! :crying:
Did you ever resolve this? I've connected my Ar1100 to three Android devices and have exactly the same problem.
I'm finding the pairing of the Folio Keyboard with my Nexus 9 to be problematic. I'm not sure if this is because there's an issue with NFC on either device or I'm just doing it wrong.
Pairing the keyboard using only bluetooth works but needs to be triggered by selecting the already paired with keyboard in bluetooth settings and can take 10s of seconds before it is connected. I expected that the keyboard would connect as soon as it came in range of the NFC chip, but it doesn't. I think NFC at least partially works as the keyboard is detected by the tablet as a trusted device via NFC. When I follow the directions to pair the keyboard via NFC by placing the tablet on it in the right manner it does not pair though I hear a tone when the doing it, that doesn't happen when I change the orientation of the tablet. From this I conclude that the NFC hardware works but something in my use of it, the configuration of the tablet or a system bug is stopping it working properly.
1) Is it a reasonable expectation that I can be expect once pairing has been completed that placing the tablet on the keyboard will be recognised by NFC without having to lay the tablet in the manner described in keyboard documentation?
2) Assuming the desired outcome as described above is possible will this trigger the tablet to turn on bluetooth (if it is turned off) or is it necessry for bluetooth to be either manually turned on, left on or find some other mechanism that triggers bluetooth to be turned on in order to connect the keyboard?
3) Is it a reasonable expectation that keyboard and tablet to be quickly connected (in a second or so) via bluetooth?
1. Once they're paired. They're paired, no need for nfc.
2. It will not turn on bluetooth automatically. Just leave bluetooth on at all times.
3. Mine connects pretty quickly once I learned the proper method to do it, that being with bluetooth on, slide the camera portion of the table slowly over the portion of the folio just above the number row. And visa versa to unpair.
The only annoying thing about this keyboard folio is the fact that I need to turn back on the "hardware input" to either see the on screen keyboard when not using the tablet, and turn off the onscreen keyboard when using the folio keyboard. I wish it did that automatically. I'm either missing something, or need to figure out a way to do that with tasker, via touch imputs or something.
Yeah, once you connect via bluetooth, NFC is no longer needed.
The frustration I am experiencing is that once the keyboard is paired and connected...if I turn bluetooth off or it disconnects, it won't automatically reconnect the next time BT is turned on. Am I missing something here? It's like the keyboard is asleep and the nexus can't find it to connect to.

I generally just touch an input then hit a button on the folio keyboard. In about 1 or 2 seconds the letter will show up and the on screen keyboard will disappear. From there I just type normally.
