Hi, If your keyboard is paired with your phone and the phone is locked, turn on the keyboard and wait about 3 to 5 seconds, then tap a key. The capslock works for me and the phone will wake up. However, if you have a pass code, you may or may not be able to enter it on the keyboard. I'm finding with 8.1.1 that the keyboard is often entering double letters/numbers until I power off the phone and turn it back on. Makes no sense, but that is what is happening for me with my AmazonBasics Bluetooth keyboard.
You cannot have the keyboard paired to two devices at the same time. So, if you want to use the keyboard with your computer, turn Bluetooth off on your phone so the phone isn't connected to the keyboard. Then, your computer can connect. But, you will have to disconnect it from the computer before you can then use it again with the phone. Also, since the keys are different than a Windows keyboard, you will have to find out what keys match with the alt and control, etc. I've copied the VoiceOver Keyboard commands from the iOs 8.1 PDF manual and saved them as a Word document and put it on my DropBox Public folder. Here is a link to that file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41698889/VoiceOver%20keyboard%20commands%20from%20iOS%208-1%20user%20guide.docx HTH, Richard -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Eden Kizer Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2014 8:03 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: amazon basics keyboard questions First off, how exactly do you unlock your phone using this keyboard, Raul explained this in his podcast, but I just didn't get it, sorry? Also, what if I want to pair this with my computer sometime will it work with Windows, and if I use it with the computer, how do I keep it from manipulating my Iphone or my computer respectively. If not possible, I need to know this too. Also how does one double tap and hold with the keyboard commands for moving apps around and such? Thanks.
