Basically I just got my TF combo for few days, and I gotta say I'm impressed with it so far. However, I encounter 1 weird bug like this:
Ok, before I go to bed, I put the TF on the kb dock and plug the combo to the wall-charger (just like I charge my other devices). I can see the battery icon on the TF changed to a thunder icon suggesting it's charging. However, I've waited and see no fully charged icon at all. Then I let it charge overnight. The next morning I wake up (I've tried this for few days), I see the thunder icon disappeared (wall-charger still plugged in btw), and the kb dock has not been charged (or has been discharged completely somehow). I can say this because the internal TF battery is now discharged under normal usage and shows no sign of kb battery or the kb is charging the tablet.
So far, due to this bug, I couldn't experience the "16 hours" claim.
If you guys have any suggestions, please advise.
Thanks.

Did you install the OTA update?

It came with 8.2.3.9 and no, I did not install any OTA update (I wish I could though)
its out. just check for updates, it will pop a notification. fixes most dock issues.
as far as I can tell, the 8.2.3.13 is only available to US and Taiwan customers only. Mine is UK version, so no update is available yet
With the dock plugged into power, what does the LED light next to the jack on the side of the dock do? Blinking red? Solid red? Solid green?
And the icon would be a lightning bolt, as lightning is actually electricity. Thunder is just noise from the superheated air caused by lightning.

Thanks for clarifying ^^ English is not my native language so excuse me for that
btw, when charging with the TF docked, the light next to it is solid orange (it's not so red ). When I'm using the combo, the light is blinking orange (slowly). I've never seen the light turns green ever!
Last night I reset the TF and unplug/replug the wall charger. I noticed this morning when I wake up, the TF still shows the lightening icon (it doesn't the other morning), but when I unplug the combo, the lightening icon disappeared immediately and showed no sign that the kb is still providing power to the TF (which I've heard it suppose to do).
I start to think I have a defective kb here...or may be just the FW problem...will have to wait till I get the newest FW update to find out But no sign of new FW for UK/WW SKU
Mine has been fine (got the combo last Friday) - charge took about 7 hours and light went green) discharging it over the weekend and not on the second recharge) - I'm in the UK with the fact installed FW - no issues here so is yours faulty? I'd get onto Asus myself?
when the dock is fully charged, the LED should go green...
hopefully the release with battery indicator of both the tablet and keyboard can be out soon...it does seem like a mystery to figure out which part is providing the power..(yes..we all know how it should work but this may not always be the case)
Quote from another thread
Solid Green light = Battery above 95% charge.
Solid Orange (they call it orange) = 10-95% charge.
Orange blinking = Battery less than 3-10% charge.
Orange fast blinking = Battery less than 3% charge.

Just in case... are you plugging it in the tablet or the keyboard? I don't think plugging in the tablet would charge the keyboard would it?
EDIT: ignore this post. I just realized my mistake ;-) I need coffee this morning!!!

How to completely discharge TF & dock?
How do you completely discharge TF & dock unit for a complete re-charge to eliminate any battery memory problem? Just use the units until it completely out of juice and shut down on its own I guess?
Thanks in advance.

there's no red..so Solid Red is just Solid Orange..and it's 10-95% charge..so presumably it's still charging..
I've been charging the dock only for 6-7 hours straight now, and it still shows solid orange light. I think I'm gonna leave it plugged in overnight to see what happens the next day.
How long does it take for your docks to turn green?
btw, is there anyway I can reset the dock somehow?

I wonder this as well ^^
OK, after plugged the kb in for at least 7 hours straight, I took it out and docked the TF. guess what? It's blinking orange, and not charging the TF at all!!!!
I just couldn't wait for the official .13 FW from ASUS so went ahead and updated by using Prime ROM. It comes with 0209 FW fro the KB as well, so hopefully it'll be fixed. I'll try and see in the next morning. But it seems like I'm having a defective kb here >_<
Damn!
How do you know what charge you have in your kb. For example my tf which is docked at the moment is showing 99% charge but that is presumably the tf only not the kb as well. So how do I know when the kb needs recharging ?
Also does the charge indicator light on the kb only show up when it is plugged into mains ?
I am using latest firmware in UK

At the moment the tablet only shows it's own charge, even when docked. And yes, until they add the battery meter for the dock in a future firmware, I think the only way to see the docks charge at the moment is by plugging it in and looking at that led.
It's definitely not holding any charge after fw update, and of course not charging the tablet Just called Asus, provided no help at all, said I should contact retailer for help Damn!

you probably have a defect kb dock....mine went from orange to green within two hours..
When I'm charging the banker battery, the notification will go green so I think its fully charged. But I've noticed that when I unhook the cable and use the phone for a while, then plug it back in, the notification light lights green. So I'm wondering, does the light turn green for the banker battery at a certain level even though its not fully charged?
Should I let it sit on the charger a couple more hours after the light turns green?

Charge it til it turns green, then turn the device off and charge it for another hour with it being off and it will be fully charged. This is known as bump charging, but does decrease the long-term life of your battery if it is done too often.

+1 to that!
try this: charge battery until the LED turns green. Unplug & then wait until your battery is no longer showing 100% before you try to plug it back in. Mine will show 100% for a while before going down in percentage.
I thought android phones showed green at some point in the 90 percentile range? So if your at 98% it will still be green.
From what I understand because of the old battery the phone thinks that the capacity of current battery is the same. So unless you rooted your phone and wiped battery stats, you are not reaching the full potential of your battery. Unless you turn off your phone and let the hardware judge when the battery is full.
What does it mean .. Sometimes mine blinks green for no reason..and flashes red?

Mine does this too. I am not sure why. But my light is Green. And it might be a Motorola issue. Because when i had the Motorola Atrix it did this too. A restart fixed the issue. I could not make out if or what app is causing this issue.

Solid red = charging
Solid green = fully charged
Flashing red = battery temp high

Mine flashes red when I get messages, and occasionally randomly flashes green for no apparent reason, which I doubt would be battery temperature because the temperature wouldn't go up if it's doing nothing.
Mine flashes green for no reason.. There is no notifications or anything... Mabe its just so you know your phones on..

How often do you overheat your battery? I let mine sit ans I cleared all running apps and it kept getting hotter and hotter..than it shutsoff with the red thermastat screen?
And it seems ljke it wont charge if its overheating...

I'm not sure about the pulsating RED for overheated battery but mine does it is for low battery power.
I've seen things a little differently, actually.
While charging
Red -- battery charging
Red pulsing -- battery too hot, charging paused
Green -- Battery done charging, 100%
While standing around
Orange pulsing -- Text message/other notification
Green pulsing -- (occasionally) e-mail message
To me the orange of the notification looks different than the red of charging. But maybe that's just me.

The blinking green led is coming from your gmail app... Even though you have no new email.. Happened to me and quiet annoying. This can be fixed with the app light flow..you don't have to be rooted..

I noticed mine blinks for no reason right after every phone call. Does eventually stop though =\

Hi all,
I just noticed a problem today.
When I plugged my charger cable into the Asus TF300T Keyboard Dock as I normally do, instead of just glowing a solid orange, I'm getting a flashing orange light.
I tried to look in the documentation to see what a flashing light means and I can't find anything.
I tested plugging in the charger directly into the tablet itself and that LED glows a solid orange as it should.
Does anyone know what the flashing orange means?
Thanks
Rob

UPDATE: Seem search did not find anything before I posted this thread. I ended up finding a post where someone said the cable might be bad. I wiggled the cable and now it went back to a solid orange. Maybe I should call Asus and have then replace the cable?
Yeah I have gotten a flashing orange light a few times now. The light flashes when the dock battery is low. The dock is designed to drain itself before the tablets battery. I have used it docked for over two hours with the light flashing. When I plug it into the wall it will continue to flash till the battery is charged to a certain percent. I haven't seen it on any websites or manuals however if you have a laptop and the battery gets to a critical level they it will also flash. Keep it plugged in and charge it up and it should go back to solid.
I think that is normal... I have an Asus netbook that also flashes the battery led when it is lower than 10%. I think it is there just to warn you that the battery is over.
Still, this shouldn't happen on a dock, since you can use it without battery, and it gets pretty annoying...
It's a 2-step charging process. If the dock is used it will go to 0% by transferring charge to the tablet. Plugging the cable into the dock starts to charge it but at the same time it discharges into the tablet. The flashing light is just a low power warning on the dock, nothing to worry about.
My led is flashing RED, 2 seconds interval, I suspect a fully depleted or dead battery, anybody seen a RED light instead of orange please? Thank you.

Never seen a red flashing light on mine. Does it respond to charging?
My battery is on 0% and not charging, maybe dead, I think this is the sign, a 2 sec red color on/off pulse.
I think is red only when battery is heavily depleted.
I have noticed that charging never seems to stop.
If the watch is "off", then when you charge you get a big picture of a battery on the screen. Underneath it is a percentage. It seems to take ages to go from 99% to 100% but the animated recharging battery graphic keeps going as if its still charging.
Similarly if the watch is switched on, the lightning bolt symbol over the battery icon in the top left corner always remains on and never goes out.
Normally you would expect a clear indication of complete charging. Has anyone seen this?

No, but it takes like 2 hrs to charge the clock for me (from 10%)
It should take one hour only!
mine has been on charge for about 4 hours and still stuck on 99% it got to 99 in about an hour.
Where do you see the % of battery
Mine only shows an arrow over the battery indicator, left corner.
Are you using some software to measure it?
thanks.
Im sure its meant to only go to 99% so it dont damage battery
Does it work with all android?

When it shows 100% does the green battery in the middle still show a "filling up" animation? On one charger it gets stuck at 99% and on another it gets to 100 but the charging animation still continues

Okay. Thank you very much for confirming the behavior. I find it odd to say the least, but it's the design rather than a fault.
New update removed the battery percentage
Hi
Since the last update, I noticed two things while charging yesterday.
I first tried to charge while the watch was turned on. It was at 13% when I plugged in and after a couple of hours with the charger connected it showed 12%... I thought that it maybe needed a "boot" to show 100% but that was not the case, after restart it still showed 12% so it didn't charge while it ran.
So I turned the watch off and charged all night and this morning when I unplugged and started the watch it showed 98% instead of 100%...
Any of you have the same experience ?
Thanks
