A list of found issues
It's a rather small list, but these are some errors and bugs I have encountered during my time in VO.
First off, I want to mention that I am using the ASUS EEE Pad Transformer (TF101) with Docking Pad. (EDIT) I am also running Android 4.0.3. Ice Cream Sandwich[ICS]. If you are unfamilier with that setup, basicly it's a full QWERTY keyboard with a touchpad interface for a cursor. Pretty sweet stuff for a tablet, but I'm not here to sell the product.
So here are a few of the problems I have encountered:
The first one being that, if I hold the W key to accelerate and at the same time hold down the up arrow and right arrow keys, the ship will do nothing. If I hold the left arrow key while holding the W key to accelerate forward, the ship will essentially spin out of control.
Secondly it involves the Keyboard/Mouse control setting. I have realized that VO does not detected the Docking Pad's touchpad. I am unaware if this also involves laptops with touchpads as well, but the keyboard/mouse option does not pick up the touchpad. Kinda wish it did.
The third bug recently came out when the most recent update came out today. The error is this; no matter if I use the cursor with the touchpad on the docking pad, nor if I touch the faction standing bars, I cannot get the number value of my faction standing to come up. This is in a way minor in it's self, but it is surely a bug that is there.
Lastly, involving the docking pad again for the ASUS TF101, when I go to chat by pressing the T key, the onscreen keyboard comes up and I currently haven't found a way to make it stay away since I already have a hard keyboard.
Perhaps this last part does not belong in this section of the bug report, but perhaps there should be some looking into the programing to further support the ASUS TF101's keyboard, or any other keyboard for any other Android device out there, so that VO automaticly detects it to avoid the onscreen keyboard? And, as well, some of the other errors mentioned above.
Thank you for reading this bug report and I appreciate the reader taking the time to look at this post.

This is likely due to key ghosting. Visit http://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/antighostingexplained.mspx and see what keys it indicates are activating.

VO actually doesn't support mice in general on Android. Last I heard, there is still some issue with the way Android itself handles mice that doesn't play well with what VO needs.

This is normally handled by a mouse-hover action over the bars. From you post it sounds like the touchpad does work, but only if the PDA is open. if this is the case, then I don't know why it's not working, but it might have something to do with the non-detection of the touchpad you already described. One person has indicated some luck with touching and dragging on the faction bars, or some weird combination thereof.

The only official way to disable the virtual keyboard is to disable the touch interface entirely. I think this is done in Options > Game, but I'm not sure.
