[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] snake2332:
I was trying to make a post about my Logitech Tablet Keyboard from my Note using the bluetooth keyboard, but keep running into a problem where Chrome goes blank and freezes up Android hard. The only response I can get is recent apps to show up, and it lets me close all, but it still has just pure black or pure white window and the only fix is to hold the power button for 5+ seconds to do a hard boot. The first time I was testing the keyboard in gmail, it would randomly omit or repeat key presses. Super annoying and impossible to use, really.

Then I moved into a different room and reconnected the keyboard. Ever since then, it typed fine but eventually locked up the tablet completely and it wouldn't recover from that. The last time I was typing with it, it would also lag for 2 seconds, then spew out all the characters I typed while it was lagging, sometimes not in the right order. It did that every minute or two, probably 3 times before it just froze up the whole OS.

So ya...not sure why it's doing this. Maybe it was Chrome's fault. I will try a different browser next time.

Then there is something annoying that I want to change: shift+space doesn't insert a space but instead shows me the current language English(US). Totally useless for me and it causes me to miss spaces. My left shift key is kinda broken so it's rather stiff, which causes me to do shift+space on accident a lot when typing at around 90wpm. I found that the generic.kl file says it's the file used for external keyboards, so I remmed out "key 122 LANG" since it looks like it changes the language. I saved the file and rebooted...that didn't do anything. Bummer. Maybe someone knows how to figure out a way to get rid of the shift+space shortcut key combo.

I would also like it if the on-screen keyboard never showed up while the BT keyboard is connected. Now, when I touch a word to edit it or whatever, the on-screen keyboard shows up and the back key doesn't always get rid of it. Not sure why the back key will get rid of it in some places but not others.

Has anyone else had the OS lock up on them like this after typing a bunch for 5 or 6 minutes?

Oh I just heard my tablet reboot. It was locked up like I was saying so I just shut the cover, which did cause the screen to turn off but it was still locked up. That was maybe 5 minutes ago. So after 5 min of locked up, it rebooted itself I believe. Wow, what the heck is wrong with bluetooth on this thing? The CPU was hot after this reboot, so I tried to check out the CPU temp in TricksterMod but it told me I wasn't rooted. My 1Weather widget is just a spinning progress wheel and isn't showing up. My SNote widget doesn't show my notes. Titanium can't get root access either. I open SuperSU and it looks normal. Blah, this thing is hosed. Rebooting again..........

Hmm, it's still all fubar. No root apps are working. Widgets aren't responding. I turned off bluetooth long ago and turned off the keyboard, so it's not doing anything with BT now. I would go restore my generic.kl file...if root worked, though I'm sure that's not affecting anything. Some apps are screwed up maybe because Gemini App Manager is trying to stop them from auto-started like I configured it to do, but without root it can't. System settings not working. Uninstall of any app, not working. Wow this is so stupid. I guess I will go try Auto CF Root again. I've never seen a device take a giant dump like this before.

Update: I turned if off and let it sit for awhile, then turned it back on. I could get into settings now so I turned off all the input devices except the Samsung keyboard. Still, apps won't even launch. Tried a couple random ones, tried Root Explorer...the icon just highlights and doesn't do anything. All this just from using a bluetooth keyboard for 15 minutes? Holy crap Batman.

Update: Sorry for the saga. I ejected my microSD card and now my tablet actually works, including root. Not sure WTF could possibly be going on with the mem card other than FolderMount, but I'm not redirecting any vital apps, juts a bunch of large games. Good lord I am nervous to even try using a BT keyboard again. Anyway...this is fun stuff right? Ugh!
