FireHD 10 (FireOS 5.6.0.0) Caps Lock issue with bluetooth keyboard - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I had my Fire HD 10 wired up with bluetooth keyboard (the ones that come with a tablet case). When I hit Caps Lock, I can type in uppercase just fine, however, when I hit Caps Lock again, the whole keyboard stops working (and tablet does not switch to virtual keyboard).
I had to reconnect by turning off and turning back on bluetooth in order to get keyboard work again. (Note: I tested holding shift key to switch between uppercase and lowercase. Works perfectly fine!)
In the beginning I suspected it was the hardware issue, so I wired up keyboard with my laptop. It works perfectly fine. So now I kinda rule out the hardware issue and suspect it's the FireOS.
Here are details about my hardware/software/settings:
Brand new Fire HD 10 (2017) and brand new keyboard+case I got from Amazon (U.S.)
I got it and updated it to 5.6.0.0 right away before wiring it up with keyboard
I did not mess with any system or keyboard settings (I live in the US so I assume the default setting is U.S. keyboard)
I did not root the device or tried to install third party Apps
After I encountered this issue, I reset my tablet back to factory settings (FireOS is still 5.6.0.0)
I could not find related issues online, I am wondering if anyone has the same issue and hopefully find a solution or workaround (like disable Caps Lock key input somehow)
(Just want to clarify: I am new to FIreOS so not sure if certain version of FireOS or Android supports Caps Locks key on keyboard)
Thanks!

I got message from the vendor: "After extensive testing, we have found that the issue is not present with the same keyboards on other generations of the Fire tablets. We were able to test on version 5.5 as well as 5.6 and found that both OS versions are affected. We have also found that other manufacturer's Bluetooth keyboards all have the same issue..."
Hopefully the next FireOS update will fix it.

I have the same problem. Very annoyed. Amazon hung up on me when I called about it. ****ty tablet.

I am facing the same issue with the CAP LOCK freezing up when it is pressed twice and this only affects Amazon Fire HD 10 5.6.0.0. Is there a fix for the problem? Please this problem affect all bluetooth keyboard paired with the new 2017 version, everyone need to get Amazon knows about it and fix it.

I have same problem.(FIREHD10 7th Gen. OS 5.6.0.1) I use Logitech K380 Keyboard. When I press Caps Lock key twice, all connections are lost including Bluetooth and WIFI. Soon WIFI reconnected but Bluetooth keyboard is not paried. So I shoud pair it again. I really want it fixed ASAP.

Bluetooth keyboard and mouse don't work at the same time

So I've got these nice accessories for my tablet, I have the Samsung keyboard dock, and an Apple keyboard and mouse. Since the keyboard dock eats battery I went out and purchased the desktop dock, came home and connected the dock, enabled bluetooth and connected my keyboard and mouse. Sweet, except now the keyboard is practically unusable.
About every 4th key I press gets registered as me holding down the button. That's nice. I meant to type Android, it turns into Andrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... Since this wasn't exactly the behavior I expected, I tried on a different ROM. Still has the same problem. I try getting the External Keyboard Helper Pro app. Seems to work for a while, but it's just wishful thinking. I disconnect my mouse. Boom, it works. I'm typing now on the very same keyboard, and it is working like a charm. I did some googling, but nothing like this came up, so does anyone know anything about this issue? Is there a fix? I really don't want to use the touch screen while I'm using a hardware keyboard, as it's unnatural and annoying, but for now it's the only way the keyboard is going to work for me at all.

Just got my bluetooth keyboard today and i am having the same problem... It seems as if the bluetooth isn't strong enough to have both connected and working flawlessly. If there is a fix for this it would be great if u would share it... thank you
Sorry can't help you solve your problems other than telling you that on the stock Samsung HC ROM 3.2 KL4 + Pershoot kernel OC @1.4GHz my Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G works flawlessly with a Logitech BT keyboard and a Logitech BT mouse.
Back when I was running KANG ICS I didn't try these Logitech keyboard and mouse but I used the Tab with a Trust BT keyboard which has an integrated touchpad and both the keyboard and touchpad worked.
well i gues i'll just go back to 3.2 and see what will happen then.
edit:
just installed stock honeycomb 3.2 rom ant pershoot kernel with 1.4 oc and i have to say that mouse and keyboard simultaniously are working quite pleasantly. even though when the tab is busy (lets say downloading or installing sth) sometimes letters do get stuck. but i have been using this hc rom for about two hours now and it has only hapened twice. so all in all the problem is mostly with the aokp rom for me. I suggest you go back to hc and see what hapens. for me it solved the problem.
btw this whole message was wirtten with bt mouse and keyboard connected. and it is as you see. i didn't edit anything. no stuck letters or anything.

AKOP builds for Vision b-37

Because I can't post in the proper place, maybe the forum admin could transfer
this post to the proper place(development).
On version b-37(5/26) of the AKOP build for vision I have a couple of comments.
I have exercised this build for the last few days and it works very well, I only have found a couple of possible bugs.
The mic in the headset(earbuds) does not seem to work for phone calls. The little switch on the headset does seems to work and the playback works fine. The mic in the phone works fine if you unplug the headset. There might be another program switching the mic off, but I haven't found any. It is like the mic is in mute and the mute switch does nothing on the headset mic.
The WiFi is off when the phone boots up, This might be a feature rather than a bug. Unless there is a lot of complaints I don't think it needs to be changed. The Internet phone from T-mobile does not work(known).
Another problem and I don't know if it is a program problem of a version problem.
I have tried many web browsers and on some sites they are very slow for the page to loads(like a minute or so). It might have something to do with Flash,
although most sites are OK. You Tube does work OK. Another quirk is the sites will come on with low resolution and then it appears as though the site has finished loading and the font is fine. It appears as though some sort of page loading problem. This happens with all the browsers I have tried.
A couple of times I have had the font under the Icons scramble, if the page gets rewritten then the font is OK.
All in all this is a very good version with very few bugs, great job !!!

New build is up. Some of your bugs should be fixed already (e.g. with microphone).
AKOP build 38
The mic problem is fixed in b38(thanks), only one other problem that is new
to b38 is that the Home key and the Search key on the bottom of the phone
no longer function.
I found that the included browser has problems when loading then freezing on a
white screen. Other browsers seem to work, so deleted same.
I might add that in b37 and b38 the track pad finally works like it is supposed to.
In earlier versions and 2.3.4 it never worked properly. Also, the lights on the
keyboard and the 4 buttons on the bottom of the phone now stay lighted and
don't go off and on. Thanks for the improvements.

Hello,
I also use the ROM and find it great. But I have two problems with it.
I can't send MMS. I have delete and recreated the MMS-APN but without any change.
My second problem is the clock when I use the apex launcher. When the phone ist unused for a while the clock goes wrong. On the widgets it shows 10:20, on the screenlock it shows 9:45 an the realtime ist 11:34 or so.
I hope someone has an answer.
thx
Home Key fixed
Found the problem I was having with the Home key being non-functional.
Seems like 2 programs I found write data where it is not supposed to be,
they are Android Assistant and Super Task Killer. If you run either one of these
programs the home key becomes non-functional.
The standard included browser has a problem with most of the time not
starting and giving only a white screen. I have tried 6 other browsers and all
work fine. Deleted same.
This fixed the 2 major problems with Build 38. There is a minor problem with the
Sim Card recognition, gives a error message to restart which is in error. The
main screen comes up long before the initial boot process has finished. I think
init.d is running after the main screen comes up. Works fine if you just let it
complete its work.
Build 38 is very stable and has very few problems. Great work !!

Known hardware issues 10.1-2014

Hi all, is there a thread yet summarising known hardware issues? Because root on this device is irreversibly flagged, it is important for new owners to check for known hardware problems before rooting. It would suck to root your new tablet and then discover it had a common hardware issue all along.
Mine is being replaced due to the bluetooth problem; I seem to have confirmed that (at least some) suppliers are aware that this is a known hardware problem.
If there isn't already a thread on this...
If you are aware of an issue that has appeared in at least a few units of the Note 10.1-2014, could you please post in this thread (a) the issue and (b) how users can quickly tell if they have it?
Bluetooth connectivity issue - some tablets as shipped cannot maintain a connection to a bluetooth keyboard and/or mouse. In my case either a mouse or kb works fine, but the two together immediately cause significant connection drop-outs. Some people seem to have the problem even with just a keyboard though. The input device will disconnect for 1-2 seconds at random intervals and any keystrokes will be lost. Sometimes (in my case anyway) the reconnection will be imperfect, in that the tablet thinks a key is being held down when it isn't, so it produces a long string of a particular letter.
Multitouch bug, I have this issue.

I also had couple of dead pixels.

Changing Languages Automatically?

Since the 6.0 update (I updated automatically via OTA), my Nexus Player changes language to Korean (I believe - it's the last language in the list) randomly. It's done it twice overnight, and just now it changed in the middle of a show on Netflix. I was watching Netflix, and the show stopped and tried to buffer. I exited Netflix to try to load again, and the language had been changed to Korean. Now my Netflix is no longer working.
Has anyone encountered this issue? It's driving me nuts.
I have the same thing since the 6.0 marshmallow update. For my device the language changes from dutch to english(australian).
This is crazy. It happens to me all the time. (korean/last on the list)
I just flashed mra58k again, wiped everything and it's still doing it!!
It's very easy to replicate and it happens all the time, I don't understand how this can happen on a stable release.
I'm not sure if it's directly related, but it happens to me when I change the hdmi input on my receiver/TV.

Wow, thanks for saving me the trouble of flashing the images and starting over - I just won't bother if it isn't worth it. Did you format the /system partition before you re-flashed the images?
I did quite a bit of searching around the web before I posted this thread, and this bug doesn't seem to be wildly reported.
What kind of TV/receiver do you have the Nexus Player attached to?
I'm using a Yamaha receiver and an LG 55LV5500 television. I suspect that's not very helpful information, but I'm really stumped by this bug.
You're able to replicate conditions for this to happen? Every time you switch inputs? It's very random for me. It was English when I started watching Netflix, and Korean when I finished watching a couple episodes and exited the Netflix app.
Can anyone more familiar with the Google bug tracker check to see if something like this is in there? If not, can we submit this bug?
I flashed the stock image (fastboot flash system system.img) and then factory reset from recovery.
I also have an LG TV (49UB830), connected to Onkyo TX-SR608.
It doesn't happen every time, but usually it does.
My common scenario is this: I change the input from the TV to "cable" and when I change back to HDMI and wake up the Nexus Player with the remote, after a few seconds the launcher refreshes itself with the new language. (if it's not already changed)
I don't think it's the only scenario, but it's the most common one for me. And it's annoying because it happens several times a day.
The config change is probably triggered by a change in the HDMI state.
LE: It does happen every time, I just need to wait for daydream/backdrop to kick in. (5 minutes, while the input is NOT on the Nexus Player)
LE2: It's not actually related to backdrop. I tried to disable it and the language still changes. I guess it just needs a few seconds.
Turn off RIHD
Ok, this issue has been driving me crazy and you guys gave me some ideas of things to test when you mentioned that it happens during input selection changes. My setup is an LG TV 60LA620V and Onkyo TX-SR608 receiver.
I've discovered that if the HDMI RIHD setting on the receiver and the SimpLink setting on the TV are both on, the issue is happening. If I turn off either of those, the issue goes away.
I turned it off on the receiver, as that still allows me to control the Player with the TV remote and I don't make use of the Audio Return Channel anyway.
Can anyone confirm this finding?

Someone has replied and requested a bug report, but I cannot figure out how to capture one on this device. Can someone help?
Apparently this should do it:
Code:
adb bugreport > bugreport.txt
I will try to submit one myself.
Disabling HDMI RIHD it's not a solution for me, as I use and need Audio Return Channel.

Awesome, thanks!
I agree - If I disable the HDMI-CEC on either the TV or the receiver, then the Nexus Player is unable to change input automatically when I cast to it. I'd rather deal with changing the language for now rather than cripple the Chromecast function of the player.
Glad I am not the only person with this issue. Very frustrating!
Has there been any update on this one?
Common factor seems to be the LG tv and Simlink as this is what I also have setup.
hahaha mine happens when I exit netflix. English to Korean.
I updated to MRA58N, but I have the same issue.
Crazy thought: can I remove Korean? or maybe all the languages except English?
Can it be done?
It should fix the problem.
You can go to this page and star the issue to give it some attention.

It might also be helpful to post your TV and Receiver brand, as well as your logs. Mine's an LG TV from 2013 and Onkyo HT-RC560
I have this issue but I assumed it was DramaFever, the Korean tv app doing it. It wasn't happening before that app was installed so I just assumed (given their horrendous CS I wouldn't be surprised). Any chance you guys also have DramaFever installed???
Hi. I have the same boring problem, since today. I've just changed my TV. It's a Sony. The previous one was a Sony too.
How did you managed to restore your language ? Mine is French, and I can't even find anything I understand in the settings. Do I need to reset the device.
Thanks for your anwers.
---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------
And if there is no simple way to restore original language, can you tell me the exact way to choose it in settings (something like - setting, down 3 time, OK...).
Thanks again !
Last edit : it's quite simple to change in fact, via the world icon.
I unplugged the optical audio cable, disconnecting the Onkyo amp from the setup. Problem fixed. How? I have no idea.
Mine have the same issue. But i think it's deeper than languages. I had open a thread with my troubles, mine lost my account in the same time too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/help/bug-nexus-player-6-0-lost-accounts-t3296794
And for you?
There is a fix for the language part. It's not really a fix in fact, more like "trick" :
https://github.com/loadrunner/language-reset
It's just checking the language, and force it to the value of your choice.
Any Update?

Controller Lag with everyday use (Shield 2015)

Hey guys,
I have a bit of a weird issue that I'm hoping someone can help me with.
Before I get into that, note, I was super unaware that there were 2 versions of the 2015 controller, this one i have has the O
one has the trapezoid home button and the other has a O for a home button. #WeirdFlexButOkay not sure the actual difference between the 2.
Now, I just got this shield not long ago, and day 1 with it I had it plugged in (not paired) and the day after that I paired it.
On both occasions, I would just be navigating around the UI, and there will be instances where I need to hit the back button, or the play button and it wouldnt register until I clicked it say 8 times.
I've unpaired and paired the controller, tested the controller on my computer and it works completely fine in Windows, Nox and Androidx86.
Is this a software based issue? (This is on the oreo update so im not sure how it functions in 7.1) if so is there a Rom I could flash to make things better?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
