Switching the keyboard to pop up or not when in a text field

[joebongo]

Anyone know how this toggles? At the moment mine isn't popping up every time, but a week ago it was. Now with the big-ass keyboard of the JJ in landscape mode, I don't want this to popup and wondered if anyone knows how to toggle it?

I haven't quite figured it out, but it seems to be some sort of a 'smart' thing.

I think it works like this... if you have the phone in tablet mode and use the button to bring up the keyboard, then it seems to keep coming up automatically whenever you put the cursor in a text field. If you switch to laptop mode and enter a text field the keyboard still comes up, but if you type something with the keyboard then the onscreen keyboard disappears and I think that will stop it from coming up automatically... until you pull it up again in tablet mode.

Thanks for the reply. It's an interesting idea. As it's not doing it right now, I am almost scared to put it to the test :oops:

Anyone else tried it or had this problem?

Its not a problem, Brett is quite right. If you put the screen KB away with the stylus and type on the KB it will pop back up again next time you enter a field. If you hit a key on the KB with the screen KB still visible it will disapear and not come back til you go into portrait mode or bring the KB up again manually.
