The strangest thing has happened - somehow this error stopped happening. I seem to be able to get my keyboard to work fine, and when I disconnect the keyboard by tapping the bluetooth icon and then hitting "Disconnect" - my finger keyboard comes back up.

The weird, and somewhat disconcerting thing, is that I don't know how I fixed it - and I'm not sure if the error will happen again - when I'm intending to get some work done.

I've now rebooted the tablet three times and attempted to repeat the error, all with no result. Keyboard works, I disconnect it, finger keyboard works. I will note that I'm not using the "pair" function in "Bluetooth keyboard," but I'm instead connecting through the bluetooth options in "connectivity" - or through the bluetooth icon at the top of the home screen.

I'm not sure this will help anyone else, as I don't really know what I did - but everything is working fine.

Maybe the tablet heard me complaining and felt bad?
