Will the Motorola keyboard disable the on screen phone or tablet keyboard while in use?

Sort-of. Your android can only use one text-input device at a time; you can switch between them. By default, when you connect a bluetooth text-input device, it will become the default input device until/unless you select another. Android will pop up a notification that a keyboard has been connected and asking you which input device you want to use, so if you prefer microphone (voice recognition) or the on-screen keyboard, you can just select it from the notification widget.

I have never personally tried the tablet keyboard while I am typing. I am unaware that it would, as right after I am done with the Motorola and put it away I have used tablet keyboard with no problem.

I tried it with both of my devices and got mixed results. With my Samsung Note 8 (GT-N5110) on Jellybean 4.2.2, both keyboards were available and working. It did force me to use the default Samsung keyboard, switching me automatically. After I disconnected the Motorola keyboard, I was easily able to switch back to my third party keyboard via the shutter.On my Motorola XT926M phone on KitKat 4.4.2, the on screen keyboard was disabled.

I use the Motorola keyboard with a Dell Venue 8 Pro keyboard running Windows 8. When connected, the Motorola keyboard will override the on-screen keyboard whenever in use, or if you begin typing while the on-screen keyboard is present. Otherwise, the on-screen keyboard is still available.

Not that I can find on the keyboard. That would likely be a software option on whatever you are using it on.

I don't think so but the keyboard is remove able if you just want the keyboard

No, you have to remove it when you connect to the keyboard. It is fast and easy but it has to be done each time.

Yes, it will work without the keyboard. I took my keyboard off to try it and it will work fine.

YES!! You have the posibility of enable or disable the onscreen keyboard. The keyboard shows inmediatly when the page, or program need it

No. Just general purpose usage and my opinion has not changed. The problem is the keys hang up and typing is impossible without major disruption.

I know there is a way to use the cover & on screen keyboard. Anyone know what it is?

Not with android devices. Pressing a key will bring up the virtual keyboard on screen.

To the best of my knowledge, the only way to turn off the tablet is with the button on the tablet itself. All the keyboard does is allow you to type in apps. In fact, ANY Wired USB keyboard should work with the tablet.

That has nothing to do with the keyboard itself. That's the tablet in general, disable it under settings... I don't have mine in front of me right now but look under keyboard settings...

Yes but if not used quickly it goes off. I love my new Galaxy S3 with the Straight talk card in it much much better. Do not miss the keyboard at all even though I have bigger fingers.

This should work with a Blue Tooth service (ASUA android) for keyboard inputting text, but I don't think function keys, arrow, ... keys will do any thing.

No idea. I stopped using it very soon after getting it as it was way too frustrating and pointless. I've found it easier to just use the digital keyboard on the phone.

No you don't, you use an on-screen keyboard operated by the remote. It's rather cumbersome but you won't have to use it very much.

You can still use the touch screen while the keyboard is on. However, the touch screen keyboard doesn't pop up when the keyboard is in use.

No, you use the number keys. If looking for a good phone with a full qwerty slide out keyboard, I'd go with a droid 2 or 3. I've had both. They're excellent.
