New Keyboard Questions

[VaZso]

I think the answer is yes. I don't know the knowhow of it but I think it basically just checks if the keyboard is attached on boot then goes from there. I think you can still charge the phone without having to reboot it but to use the keyboard you need to turn it off then on again. Easy workaround, don't ever take the keyboard off...

I haven't checked (nor I have received my keyboard yet) but I would think if it checks the keyboard at boot time then it should be booted while the keyboard is attached and it may be removed / reinserted later so I would think it may work.

However, it may happen it periodically checks if it is attached but then I would ask why it does not check for it periodically on absence.

Anyway, I would also think related kernel module and / or user application may be started later so connection should be possible also on a working system but its automatism is what is missing.

You very well might be right, I am know they said it has to be on during boot and my keyboard is still in china so I can't test either.
