Here is the problem.. My keyboard conects just fine on my phone in webtop.. my keys are an issue though. When I'm using say firefox and I need to do the @ sign it will only display 2 this happens with everything.. now if I go to mobile view while on webtop to say respond to a text message my keboard Shift + 2 = @ etc. It works on the phone but not webtop very weird. I am running cherryblur 1.4 with webtop v1 though I don't have the terminal and all I guess I need to go back and fix that. Until then though I'd like to at least be able to do simple browsing on webtop. Can someone help me with this issue please? Maybe your having the same issue or there is a simple option that I never turned on? Thanks!

OK nobody seems to want to help... I have an idea and have been looking around.. what if I found a Linux driver for it.. and manually added it.. since android is basically Linux I would think it will work. However I don't know how to add the driver. Any help please?

I would try to Google the keyboard model and Ubuntu to see if you can find anything related to using that particular keyboard in Ubuntu. You might find something that may help getting to work in webtop since it a modified version of Ubuntu. That's how I figured out how to use my Apple BT keyboard with webtop. There was a shortcut sequence that had to be typed in order for it to work in Ububtu. It also worked for me in webtop.

Until you can get this resolved programatically, have you tried copying "@" from the phone piece and pasting it on the webtop? I don't have any of the docks, so I am just guessing at a solution for you.
Good luck, regardless.

It won't let you download the app from the market to the Galaxy Nexus, but you can use another device to grab it and it installs fine on the Galaxy Nexus. The only problem is that it is like half the size of the screen, and is centered in the middle.
Is there some easy way to just stretch it to fit the Galaxy Nexus screen? (I mean for someone who mods .apks?
I'm just mainly curious if it could be done. I suppose I can use my Nexus S to try it on my new TV that is coming next week.
Post the apk and I'll take a crack at it. Will be monday before i get back to my laptop though.

Apparently SamyGo works. And maybe try this one?
Tried SamyGo a few weeks ago, and it didn't work for me. Installed it today and it works like a charm. Strange, looks like SamyGo was updated since my last try.
P.S.: My TV is a Samsung UE40D5000

SamyGoRemote does indeed work. Unfortunately, what I really want, is the ability to use my phone's keyboard for entering data, as using the arrow keys on the remote control is a pain. SamyGo doesn't allow for that.
Thanks for the suggestion, though
@peadrog found something that works fine for me, unfortunately the density does not match the GNx so its kinda small....
maybe one of you guys can fix that?

Same thing here (in Firefox). I Google'd it and found that other people having the same problem on other sites too. I checked one of those sites and the same thing happened, page loads a little-bit and then get the blank page when ads.pubmatic.com is being accessed.
The funny thing is I blocked pubmatic.com and ads.pubmatic.com in my hosts file and it's still happening. It doesn't seem to happen in Chrome, though.
For me, I notice when I try to go back in internet explorer it takes like 15 clicks, so I actually use the mouse and click the tab on the top of the xda webpage. If I right click the back arrow for the browser it lists a bunch of ads, which explains why it takes so many clicks to get back. It is like this on every computer I have used xda on recently. Xda is the only site that I have this issue.

Having the same problem accessing this site from my laptop as well ..... arrrrrgh, its also affecting transformer forums. Anyone found a way to fix this problem yet
Blocking via hosts file doesn't appear to work, nor does blocking "ads.pubmatic.com" in Adblock Plus. After configuring the latter, the page still hangs, only this time on google-analytics.com, so now I'm not sure if it's pubmatic.com or something else.
I came across older (2008, 2009) results in Google reporting the same problem with pubmatic.com, so I really have no idea what's going on.

Ok .... I found the solution to this problem with the help of a member on another forum. What I had done wrong was I was not using the latest version of Firefox. Once I updated it both this forum and the other one now work brilliantly again on my laptop.

Thanks for letting us know, that's good to know there's one way to fix it.
That's not an option for me, unfortunately. There are still add-ons that I can't use outside of FF 3.6x. I'd rather know what exactly is going on and fix it without updating to the FF-Version-of-the-Month.

No problem, will continue to check back to see if you or someone else comes up with another option. I cleared caches, checked add-ons, firewalls rebooted routers and machines and had no luck. It works fine with Chrome as well.
Good luck
Glad I wasn't the only one having this issue, also thanks bimgirl for finding a work around even though I too hate newer versions of Firefox past 3.6.1.6 I will try chrome out.

No, it's definitely not you. I've come across several posts today from various other sites from people who have been experiencing this issue over the past 3-4 days.
I'm not sure if it's a coincidence, but many of them are running vBulletin. The issue seems to be restricted to Firefox.
Even after blocking a bunch of pubmatic.com sites in my hosts file, the issue is still happening, only the blank page hangs on www.google-analytics.com. I didn't want to go as far as blocking that, but I did anyway in my Hosts file with no success.
I came across this plug-in that I'm going to try out. This is an official Google addon that allows you to opt-out of google-analytics.com tracking.
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (BETA)
To provide website visitors more choice on how their data is collected by Google Analytics, we have developed the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. The add-on communicates with the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) to indicate that information about the website visit should not be sent to Google Analytics.
If you want to opt-out, download and install the add-on for your current web browser. The Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on is available for Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Opera.

EDIT: No dice. I installed the addon and now the hanging blank page stops loading. It still jumps to the blank page.
One other comment I read suggested that the sites themselves should verify that they've put the Google Analytics code at the very bottom of their page templates where it belongs. But I would assume that the GA code was put in place a long time ago, and doubt that would be the issue here.
---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------
Success!
I added "www.google-analytics.com" to my hosts file, in addition to "google-analytics.com" and everything is fine now.
One thing I didn't try was to only use the Google opt-out addon, without adding any "google-analytics" entries to my hosts file.
If someone who prefers not to alter their hosts file wants to try it the addon-only way, please let us know if it works for you.
Thanks, folks!

Same here. Devs were responsive for a few emails, and then they just sort of dropped off. Please let me know if you get this figured out. Are out using Handcent or Go SMS on you phone?
That happened to me as well. I unlinked my tablet in the settings and added it back again and it fixed it.

Devs were the same with me, responsive at first, then gave up. No extra sms apps installed so that's not the problem. Also tried resetting everything, but no joy.

Yeah, I tried unlinking and relinking. Didn't work. I decided to just pay the $5 per year and go back to DeskSMS. It has been super reliable across any and every build on my phone, and its companion, TabletSMS, has worked with both my Nexus 7 and my TouchPad. Worth the money to me.
App store issues?
I just picked up a Nexus 7 the other day and went to download Mightytext from the app store and it is saying my device is not compatible? I feel like something is very wrong here. Any suggestions?

Derp... wrong app. Finally figured it out
I use it but I'm a little concerned about privacy... Its obvious the actual texts and phone numbers are going through mighty texts servers to get from AT&Ts system to my nexus 7 which is only connected via WiFi, or is that incorrect? I text a lot of highly sensitive info due to my line of work. I hope I'm worried for nothing because its a great app and one more reason to put my phone down while I'm on my tablet.

I think it's going through googles servers since you login with your Google credentials, but I guess that could be just for authentication. If you need more privacy tablet talk syncs via Bluetooth but I think you have to pair it a lot.

I love this app so much I made an inverted version. Screenshots attached.
I will upload to test if anyone is interested. Then I will start a post for it once I know it's working for more people then myself. I only themed hdpi so Nexus 7 only for now.
Let me know please!!!!!
iMessage.... What a complete and total copy..... Granted, you can easily say the same for this app and Whatsapp. Idk, I think this is easier and much better than whatsapp (used both). I messages claims to use phone number only.....so does MightyText....

I can do that but I want to fix the problem.
The problem is the app developers pushed a beta that doesnt properly work to the masses. If you want to fix it you need to learn how to code and build the app. Sorry but unless you can do that I dont see a way to fix it yourself.

I'm having a weird issue in that I can't input text on a particular website (MyMathLab - it's where I do my math homework). The site lets me log in and click on links, but when I get logged in and pull up the math problems, I click in the box where you're supposed to enter text, the cursor blinks, but the keyboard no longer pops up for me to type anything. I'm using Swiftkey, but I also have (and have tried to use) google keyboard and hackers keyboard.
I used to be able to do my homework on this site using my phone, but I'm not sure why the keyboard, regardless of which one I use, no longer pops up. I spoke to a rep from the site who says nothing has been updated recently and the site is supposed to be optimized for mobile. Anyone have any suggestions?
Its probably cos the site might have been updated and no longer supports smartphone keyboards. I know that cos I also do homework on my maths. And can't do stuff on my phone. If its not that then maybe you need a new browser and flash player. I suggest Mozilla Firefox or Google chrome. Hope it helps.

I've tried all the available browsers. I bet it is the site - the guy I talked to didn't seem too sure of himself when he said there hadn't been any updates.
Just an update in case anyone runs into this - the FlashFox browser fixed this issue for me.
You can right away.
