Miix 3 Keyboard dock compatibility

When the miix 3 was announced it showed a solid kyeboard dock like the Miix 2 one, which had 2 usb ports.
Now when i bought it i got it with the folio case which has no extra USB ports. Meaning that i either dont have usb ports when charging or have to use some dodgy quality usb otg hub to charge and use the USB ports at the same time.
Now my question are
1) is there such a dock as was shown when the miix 3 was first shown or did it stay on the drawing board?
2) is the MiiX 2 dock pin compatible with the MiiX 3 dock connector so the MiiX 2 dock could be used
3) if the answer to 2 is yes, where can i buy the MiiX 2 dock on its own ?
Thank you in advance.

I updated my iPad 1 to IOS 5 last week, and it works fine with the Apple Keyboard Dock.
However, to make it work for me, I had to put the Keyboard Dock on an incline plane. Once I found the appropriate angle of the incline, then I had to cut a piece of wood with that same angle, paint it white, and glue the Keyboard Dock to the piece of wood.
As a result, I no longer have to insert a pad or ruler between the iPad and the Dock. The iPad now leans forward to the correct angle.
The raised angle also helps me type better due to the tilt.
Hope this works for you too.

IPad 2 & Keyboard Dock Compatibility?

I bought a White iPad 2 on Day 1 (March 11th) and have loved it. I very rarely complain about Apple products so this topic is somewhat out-of-character for me. When I bought iPad 1 in 2010, I bought the Keyboard Dock the same day. I found that I truly used the keyboard dock often and came to enjoy it a lot. Sadly, when I bought iPad 2, I realized it simply was not compatible with my keyboard dock. I understand the iPad 2 is thinner so naturally it wouldn't be compatible, but is there something I'm (hopefully) missing? Is there any kind of dock adapter or work-around to this compatibility issue? I used the keyboard dock so much in my college classes and now for it to just be unusable is honestly a little frustrating. Thanks for any help in advance!

If you think the iPad may break when you drop it or you have broken any device in the past, hard ipad cases are for you because they provide protection against the impact that a fall can cause while keeping the device working well. The ipad 2 keyboard case offers full protection for the entire device and a strap holds the iPad in place.

MicroSD Max Capacity - Lenovo MIIX 3 10" Tablet with Keyboard Dock - 80HV002SUK

Please can you let me know the maximum capacity microSD that will work with 80HV002SUK - Lenovo MIIX 3 10" Tablet with Keyboard Dock?
Thank you.

Hi There, I had the same problem but found a solution online. The update app had been installed but was not running: "If the upgrade app has been installed in your computer, you can try to manually run the app by going to "C:\Windows\System32\GWX" folder and run GWX.exe file." Hope it helps Cheers

Trackpad on the Lynx Keyboard Dock

Does anyone know if the trackpad on the Lynx keyboard dock can be disabled without disabling the keyboard's other functions? The trackpad is really hard to use, and I wonder if it is partly responsible for the erratic behavior of the keyboard while I am typing? I have a USB mouse that can handle the pointing function quite handily (besides the touchscreen, of course).
Solved!

hi jbellhanson,
Thanks for using Lenovo Community Forums!
The touchpad on the dock uses a Windows driver and does not have any special Software to Disable it via shortcut,
How I found to go around on what you need is
With the tablet on the dock with no USB mouse yet
-Press (Windows key+x) and choose device manager on the list
-On Device Manager window
-Open mice and pointing device and right click on the item under under it and choose disable.
This should disable the dock touchpad and Now you can plug in your USB mouse,
If you want the touchpad back just do the same steps but "Enable" will be your option when you right click on the item under mice and pointing device.
Hope this helps
Cheers!

Keynote and keyboard dock

Does anyone know if Keynote will ever be available in portrait mode? The reason I ask is because I want to use the Keyboard dock with Keynote and the dock only allows portrait mode. Seems like a logical combination of app and accessory and highly frustrating that the two currently don't work together.

My guess is that won't be a priority since a presentation's orientation is landscape. To create a WYSIWYG keynote in portrait orientation you'd either have to scroll back and forth (ugh) or work in much reduced size (also ugh). I was thankful I already had a blue tooth keyboard to play with for a while because I was tempted by the keyboard dock until I realized the potential drawback.

My iPad keyboard dock no longer works. Any suggestions on what I can do to bring it back?

I've had the keyboard / docking station / stand for over a year now and it has never given me any problems. A kid was touching a bunch of keys the other day and I'm not sure if it froze or has a shutdown mode or what...but it literally stopped working. It recognizes the iPad when I place it on the pins, but NONE of the keys work.
Help!!

[HELIX] Black screen with HDMI over keyboard dock

Hi everyone, I just came across a weird issue with my Helix: When I connect my Helix including keyboard dock via HDMI to my TV the screen stays black. I checked following things: - Sound is working over TV - Screen connection is detected by Helix and also by TV (otherwise screen would be blue) - HDMI connection is working if I directly connect the tablet with the same adapter to the TV - RGB adapter is working fine also inclunding the dock I have the current driver and BIOS updates installed. Does anyone encounter the same issue or knows how to solve it? Might be either a driver or HW issue with the dock I suspect. Thanks for any input on this! Markus

If I do not use the Win-P or Ctrl-F7 key combination to change it to Duplicate Screen, then it may go automatically to "Second Screen only" which seems to be occurring in your situation.
If the setting wont change after the screen goes blank, then it could b a driver issue. If you opted the latest device driver like I did, and this still happens, I'd say it is a driver issue. However, when I made a presentation to day, it automatically switch to the proper "Duplicate setting" screen option. So perhaps yours is an intermittent problem.
Go to control Panel, Power Options, then Click on Windows Mobility Center at the bottom of the page. You will displays and toggles for External displays and for presenter mode right there. Click those to see if you get any changes. You can see if your computer thinks a second screen is attached or not, and it you are in projection mode or not.
Does the computer go back to normal after disengaging the HDMI? If so, set it to duplicate screens and then re-connect it, if the screen goes dark there must be another setting that is off.
If you are using the WiDi software that might also be the culprit, check those settings. Hope this helps in some way.
I discovered on mine that I could run a Powerpoint presentation fine, but when I try to switch over into presenting a movie clip or website, it would only show my screen saver. I still needed to use the Win-P or Cntrl-F7 key toggle to send the signal for those applications. Just seems weird, it just an idiosyncrasy I gather.

Lightning to 30-pin Adapter works great with iPad Keyboard Dock

In case anyone was wondering, the Lightnng to 30-pin Adapter works great with the original iPad Keyboard Dock and an iPhone 5. In fact it is better than the 4S was, as that tended to pop out. The Lightning adapter stays in place, and there is plenty of support in the back plastic to keep the iPhone in place, with any tiny stress happening at the Dock connector end: the Lightning connector itself seems very solid indeed. All the keys work, and charging is fine.
(In answer to the implicit question: my employer blocks email at work on its systems, and it's convenient to have the keyboard hold the phone in place, and also charge it, which is the problem with the Bluetooth keyboard.)

Might be a question better asked of the manufacturer of the iHome device.

My IPad1 has completely shut down. It has no power. I have tried a restart and a reset with no results. I have tried charging through the keyboard dock, the wall charger and my Macbook Pro with no results. Is this a complete battery failure?

My IPad 1 has lost complete power. I have attempted a restart and a reset without results. I have attempted to charge with the keyboard dock, the wall charger and connecting to my MacBook Pro. Again no results just a black screen. Is this a battery failure? I am in Mexico for another 6 weeks and hoping to find a solution.

Cathi-
How long did you have the iPad connected to the wall charger? A completely dead iPad battery may not work until it has been charged for some time - maybe a half hour or more. I suggest leaving it on charge overnight, and then trying the reset.
The MacBook may be able to charge the iPad if it doesn't go to sleep, but it will be extremely slow. the Wall charger is definitely the best way.

New ipad to 30-pin keyboard dock. any way use correctly?

The iPad keyboard dock we were using with our 30-pin iPad now seems to be essentially worthless with the lightning connector unless someone has an inspiration. Using an adapter raises the iPad enough to limit the support provided by the dock and likely would result in something breaking.
I would like some ideas.

Use the 30pin to lightning connector cable, works great and there is no support issue.

Has anyone tried using their keyboard dock on iPad 2?

I'm trying mine out as I write ... it seems to be fine?? Anyone? Anyone?!

Im using the Apple keyboard dock with the iPad 2 right now. Initial thoughts/concerns:
- the iPad seems to want to tip over and out of the dock when using on lap
- some shortcuts (like command+arrows to navigate back/forth on safari, etc) don't work while other do (such as command+c, v, x--the standard ones). My guess is that this limitation was intentional so iPad users don't replace their laptops.

Auto-capitalization does not work with Keyboard Dock attached.

I purchased the Apple iPad Keyboard Dock with my iPad. Auto-capitalization works fine with the on screen keyboard, but when I connect the keyboard dock, it does not work.

Your statement is correct. Was there a question?

Helix immediately shut-off when the tablet is connected to the keyboard-dock

Hello,
when I connect the tablet with the keyboard-dock, the system immediately shut-off. If the tablet is connected to the keyboard-dock I can not start it. Otherwise I can start the tablet without the keyboard-dock.
I tried to install all up to date driver, but nothing changed. I also pushed the reset button (minimum 10sec with and without connected Power). It seems as if is a hardware problem not a software problem.
Have anybody had the same problem?
Greeting Michael

Looks like new firmware upgrade solved this issue.

IPad keyboard dock doesn't work - how to get repair?

After a couple of days it just stopped working. It seems to dock still, but none of the keys work. Tried several times, but every key is completely unresponsive. I couldn't find a way online to report the problem (automated help asks for HW serial number, but the keyboard docks don't seem to have those). Do I bring the dock back to the store where I bought it to arrange for repair?

I'm on my second keyboard, as the connector tab in the keyboard is weak, and gives up the ghost very quickly. Went to Apple Store for replacement, and it was free. You are right there is no serial number on the keyboards, so they just take the old one and give you a new one.
None of them will last very long until they change the design of the keyboard dock, and add a landscape mode connector to the side of the iPad. Putting it in the stand in the portrait mode puts too much leverage/stress on the connector tab in the keyboard itself, so it fails . . .

What app games can i use with my keyboard+dock???

Hi all, i just buy my iPad2 Keyboard+Dock Original by Apple. But i cant find games to play with my keyboard. Can enyone tell me what games are for the keyboard?

Hi Meg St_Clair, well i was thinking of a Snake or car game that can be played with the Arrow or the W, S, A and d keys. Maybe a alphabet game to type answers or the HangMan, using the Keyboard. That will be nice.
