Yep, tried that. Should have listed that as the first thing I'd tried. No luck, it basically makes the message field or whatever text field, look like a read-only field. Even toggling voiceover on and off doesn't work.

Hopefully I've understood your problem correctly. When you want to use onscreen keyboard instead of the physical keyboard try doing a single finger double tap and hold in the edit field and this should then bring up the on-screen keyboard. Do the same again to hide it.
