Is there any way lock the screen in portrait mode. This is a big deal for me and will have to move on to something else if I can't do it. I love Asus and would hate to have to return it.

Haha, if you asked for a landscape lock then it's easy. Is there an app for your need ?
Edit: just learn the trick from the other post, our TF has a software lock: hold the screen in portrait mode --> touch the bottom-right display ---> turn off auto-rotation.
Yay. Thank you tons. That's exactly what I was looking for. Let me test some apps and get back to you.

I did a search but I did not find one but I'm hear to let you know that the mouse pointer is back.

You just figured this out? It's been back for a while.

Yes, it's back, but using removes the gesture actions that the circle cursor has. Why couldn't they just change the skin without screwing up functionality? Personally, I'm sticking with the circle pointer, but a nice little dot in the center of that circle would be awesome for precision clicks - like when using an RDP client.
I am on prime 1.84 and would like to know how to get the mouse pointer back?

Just a couple of questions about the keyboard, is the auto correction for it not that sensitive? I mean I can use lowercase i and slam the keyboard like so asidhai and nothing happens? I have had a look in settings and it is has auto correction on, so a bit weird why it doesn't seem to be doing much.
Also, it sometimes doesn't work when connected, and I have to push it in a bit more or disconnect and connect again. Assuming this is normal, but just a quick note!

I don't believe there is any kind of auto-correct for typing on the physical keyboard, that comes in to play when you're using the on-screen keyboard. As for the disconnect and connect again issue, I sometimes get that problem, but rarely. My only guess is it has something to do with the TF going into deep sleep, as that is the only time I seem to run into that little bug.
It can be quite annoying, but I guess it is easier to spot them. There are options for auto correct if I beleive correctly, but they don't do anything.

you might want to look into Swift Key X, it has a pretty good auto correct. and if it works like it does on the G2 then it will also work with the dock keyboard.
I've got the phone version, just trying out the tablet version now, thanks for the advice!

Anybody else notice the button to launch the browser will only launch the stock browser? I have the stock browser disabled and use Chrome as my default browser so that button does nothing for me. No big deal, but the real fail is the location of the button to lock the screen! I keep hitting it when I reach for the backspace key. I'm sure as I get used to the keyboard size I will be making fewer typing errors and I will get used to it, but locking the screen every time you overshoot the backspace key is kinda lame.

Would you really label the keyboard as a fail just because of this? I have never hit the lock screen by accident. There is a lot to get used to, coming from a pc keyboard (and android on-screen keyboard) but it's great to have all these feature keys. I really love the keyboard dock...leave it docked at all times.
Yeah, after owning the dock, I wouldn't want to go back to using a tablet without this extra functionality.
Misleading titles annoy me.
Edit: Here is a link for the Dock browser button hack. (Root required to mod certain files) I haven't tried it myself but it should still work for those that have the original TF201 dock. This will allow you to change what browser is launched instead of the native browser.

Now as for your issue with having the lock button on the upper right corner... Good luck with that. Its not a flaw from the device. Its more human error. Adapt evolve... You can do it!!! Haha. I for one love the Dock! Quite the opposite from what your title insinuates.

Yeah I really would never own a tablet without a dock after this. People's faces when I show them my "netbook" is actually a tablet is priceless. Keyboard FTW!

I don't think the keyboard is a fail, just those two parts.

How is the title misleading? It wasn't intended to be misleading. And even if it is misleading your inflammatory comment is just as annoying. Thanks for the link though, I will look at it for sure.
And whether or not it is human error isn't the point. I know it is human error and I have already adapted to the size of the keyboard. I can proudly say I haven't hit the lock key since I posted this thread. I just wish they would have put a different button in that spot.
Edit: Changed the title of the thread to be more clear.

People ask, "Is that a netbook?" I tell them no, it's an android tablet and pull the screen from the dock. So far this has resulted in oohs, ahhs, and wows. Kinda funny.

You'd really call THAT an ''inflammatory comment''? Oh boy....
OT: I've hit the Sleep button numerous times, and keep hitting it since I go back and forth between my (primarily gaming) desktop at home, the desktops at work and my TF700. It is getting a bit infrequent, but every time I hit it still is a sigh moment. And I keep missing letters like the "a" and "o", and I kee hitting ";" instead of " ' "... but hey, that's clearly my fault.
My wife is a touch typer (or 10-finger blind, or whatever it is called in English ) and she won't even use the hard keyboard because it doesn't provide the feedback she needs, or something like that. Maybe you have primarily the touch typists' aproach, while people like me (who have to look at the keyboard anyway) have less trouble?

I don't look at the keyboard when I'm typing. I got used to this one fairly quickly. I just had to learn the smaller keys and layout. And I definitely know what you mean by a sigh moment.

Yes, I know how to multi quote. Do you know how to send private messages when trying to communicate something that is off topic? What harm is there in the method I use to quote people? If you can tell me a good logical reason I will start using the multi quote.

does anyone else have the same issue as me that the tab key on keyboard doc does not tab fields it just advances the cursor by a couple spaces?
best example is when using the google spreadsheet app, tab does not go from field to field like you would expect. Other times would be when something is looking for a username and password. tab does not advance you to the password field

I've noticed this too. The tab button isn't normal. I use the arrow keys instead.

Hi guys,
I am struggling with the floating keyboard to the extent that I want to smash the damn thing to pieces .
1. For the love of God - how can you move the floating keyboard around? I manage to move it once every 100 tries....
2. When in multiscreen mode, it's extremely slow and laggy. Do you have the same problem?
Thanks.
Sent from my GT-N8000 using XDA Premium HD app
long press on it. than you can move it.
I had no lag issues with it, but recently i pulled thumb keyboard out of mothballs and have been using it.
i just take 2 fingers one finger on a character or number and the other finger on a different char or number, hold for a sec and move.
hold down with two fingers and move when you see blue border appears. floating keyboard is useful in most places as it can move around but prediction and accuracy are horrible. download TouchPal keyboard from store, it's the best but no floating keyboard or a split one.
