When my ZAGGfolio goes to sleep (or is in another room), the onscreen keyboard comes up and will not go away! I can't close it, can't use it to type and I can't see under it... does anyone else have this problem, or know the solution? Thanks!

Since Apple released the 8.0 software I have had a similar problem with my iPad 2. There are two solutions to possibly correct the issue: (1) Hit the lock key once or twice on your keyboard. It should be the key on the top right hand side of your keyboard. or (2) Do a restart of your iPad by holding down both the start button and screen button at the same time until your iPad shuts down. Wait 10 seconds or longer and push the start button at the top or left side of your iPad. (Straight up from the head phone jack) Also make sure your key board is fully charged.

When I've used it the on screen keyboard hasn't come up. But if I don't turn on the keyboard, then "Yes" the tablet keyboard comes up. This Newstyle keyboard doesn't hold a charge very long.

The only thing I can think of is that the keyboard is not on. You may also have to push the little button next to the on/off slider button.

Correct. When the keyboard is in place, the magnetized part of the folio cover cannot physically contact the iPad so the iPad is not put to sleep. When the keyboard is removed, then the magnetized section of the folio cover can touch the iPad, and the iPad's sleep function works. This is a normal function for the folio cover; it is not a defect.

EXACTLY! It won't go off. I sent the keyboard back immediately. Sorry, 451jude

I am a newbie too! I tend to shut my keyboard off when I am using my device as a tablet. There is a little lag time when I do fire it up to use the tablet/keyboard combo as a laptop, but it saves battery life and prevents inadvertent keystrokes etc. Hope this helps!

Suzannah, I wondered the same thing. As far as I can tell the light comes on at first on both occasions but then shuts off. I mentioned this in my review there should be some indicators showing keyboard on, charging or needs charging. I also found that if there is a small lapse of time in typing, the keyboard goes to sleep and it takes 3 to 5 seconds to reconnect.

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

It's not clear to me whether you mean that the keyboard goes to sleep or the CPU. Both my wife and I have Mac Laptops (MacBook Pro & MacBook Air. I use the MacAlly Bluetooth keyboard at home with a 19" monitor cabled to my laptop video port and my wife has the SHARKK Bluetooth Keyboard with her MacAir. Our keyboards never go to sleep and they come on whenever we boot up our CPUs or awaken the CPU from their sleep mode.

Just got mine for an ipad mini (retina) and the display wakes/sleeps when I close the cover.It does not seem to be the folding tab that does it, but something in the keyboard/cover part itself.I tested with just the keyboard and it did not activate. Then I tried the cover without the keyboard.The magnets in the cover would activate the ipad when it was within a quarter inch of the glass (did not have to actually touch the screen)This is about the thickness of the keyboard so that that's why it works when it is in place.

I've had no problems and am happy after two months with the keyboard. Sometimes I mix up the sequence of turning on the keyboard and pushing the little button, but it's always come on. Be sure that the keyboard is charged. I wrote the manufacturer for a copy of the User Guide. They emailed a jpg.

I had the same problem. It seems to work for me if I turn the power off in-between each use--meaning when I'm done working I turn it off and then turn it back on when I'm ready to use again. I've found that I need to do this if I have not used the keyboard for longer than an hour. Additionally, I always need to do this if I move my laptop to another room and then bring it back to my desk. This is an unfortunate problem because I really like the keyboard, except for this problem. BTW, I purchased the Bluetooth Sculpt Mouse at the same time, and I've never been able to get it to connect properly for longer than a few minutes. I had the same problem.

You can bring it back by pressing the keyboard button as well. However, the issue I believe is that the touch and pen drivers turn off after while to conserve battery. You can disable it and it will always stay active.

Depends on what you're saying goes to sleep... The iPad? No, haven't seen that happen just because I've closed the cover. Nor have I seen the keyboard go to sleep either.

Thank you. You should be able to discuss this with the manufacturer as to why the letter vanish. I am sure I can buy a new one, but I had a keyboard for 10 years that was still quite legible. The one that came with the PC is shabby. Also, please tell me why this computer is listed now at $845.00 ... Did I receive a used one ?

Just shut off the keyboard and your touch screen keyboard should come up. That's what I'm using to type this message to you.

I have the same problem with it. It seems like if you remember to turn the keyboard off after using it, then on again before opening the text editing program of your choice, it tends to sync better. But, that's still not a fix because you have to actually remember to turn it off (which I don't). I sent them an email regarding this issue to see if they had any tips and tricks for it, but never got a response.
