  • How do you stop the virtual keyboard from popping up. I've turned off the virtual keyboard in settings in all locations I can find, I use a hardware USB keyboard to setup new portal or make changes, but the virtual keyboard will not stop popping up and this causes me to not be able to see what I'm inputting. Thanks

    In android settings at apps section, there you can force stop the app. Bit don't know if thats enough. It's a system app.


    And if you are handy with android.

    Download adb manager from playstore.
