Bluetooth keyboard

I have a Freedom Pro Keyboard. It is a bluetooth keyboard (so should be pretty simple to connect, right? - WRONG!)

It shows paired on the Tab 7 plus, but typing on the keyboard does not result in anything on the screen.

One thing -
The FP website says is to press and hold on the screen (which on the tab results in a paste function but in FP keyboard terms is supposed to allow you to toggle between internal (on-screen) keyboard and an external one...

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hank

O.K. I think i did it!

I worked a little harder and found a solution (I think)
I went into settings, language and input, and under Keyboard settings; "Current input method"

I then selected the Freedom Pro Keyboard and I am no linger "Tethered" to the on-screen keyboard!

Are there any recommendations for a Bluetooth keyboard thet will work with the Tab 7.0 Plus ?

thanks

Please do not start new threads on a subject that was already started back in January, It just causes confusion and makes the MODS extra work. Thanks. You post has been merged.
