I have had the tablet and the dock battery's drain all the way while connected and with the tablet turned off. I do have the latest firmware for the tablet and the dock.
Has anyone else had this issue?
The battery dock still has draining issues, even while off. I'm not sure why your tablet drained as well -- perhaps the dock started to charge it and tablet turned on due to it? or maybe the tablet started to charge the dock while it was draining and ended up both being dead.
yeah Im really not sure what happened but I do know when I went to turn on the tablet it started up and only had about 13% battery left when it was fully charged when I turned it off.
Check your wireless disconnect policies, if its set to Never then that might explain why.

Im not sure where to check that.
OFF as in you held the power button until it asked if you wanted to shut off, or SLEEP, as in just tapped the power button (or lock button on the keyboard)?
The Lock key on the keyboard, or just tapping the power button puts the unit in SLEEP, which is not really sleeping, it just turns off the screen and depending on your wireless power policy, WiFi may still be on. Apps still run. Stuff still communicates with the interwebs.
off as in i held the power button and hit shut down.
Mine is doing it as well. Did a complete shutdown yesterday after fully charging both the pad and dock. Just turned it on and the dock is blinking orange. I also had the WiFi disabled. Even when you do a shutdown it seems something is not shutting down.

ASUS never said that they fix the dock battery drain issue while tablet is docked and powered off. Have they?

im not sure. At least i know its not just me.
I hope they push the update where we can see the battery live for the dock soon.
Mine is doing the same thing. Keyboard was charged when I closed the lid and then blinking 6 to 8 hrs later. Wasn't doing this with firmware .12 with the keyboard battery indicator. I really hope they bring back some of the .12 features soon.

My keyboard dock no longer seems to hold much if any charge, I left it charging yesterday until the keyboard dock light stopped flashing and stays on steady (I assume that means its full) and now 4 hours later the keyboard dock light is flashing and no longer charging the tablet.
if i recall, this is a known issue with the dock. When not in use, it will still drain the battery. If plugged into the tablet at the time, im pretty sure the tablet will drain also. I think asus is aware and i thought i saw somewhere that there will be a fix once 3.1 is out, that will put the dock into a very low power state when not in use.
so i guess we will see once 3.1 is out

I believe only Solid Green is full.
Interesting I've only when seen a solid orange light, perhaps that just means charging, will try again tonight.

Same issue. Had a fully charged dock and a partially charged Transformer.
Was very pleased to see the tablet start to charge when I docked it, and not so pleased when I got up in the morning and both were dead.

Leave it turned on then
Just for the record, I have the same issue. Dock battery drains really quickly when turned off and in sleep mode.

that might be a good idea it might not drain as fast!
Does it help if I leave the tablet and the dock disconnected when turned off?
Hey everyone, I'm just curious if the Motorola docks stop charging when the Xoom is full or if they keep charging all the time. I like keeping it in the dock, but I don't want my battery to go bad fast because its charging all the time. Thanks, JacobAndrew.
not sure but...
While in the dock the charging light will occasionally turn from green (charged) to white (charging) . This leads me to believe that although the charger is always powered up the xoom knows the difference. Maybe just knows when it's at 100% but a real answer would be best , I leave mine in there all the time as well.
Thanks, I never shut mine off so I never get to see the green led.. Not exactly sure why they wouldn't have it turn green when its awake, but oh well... I guess I won't worry about it so much
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 charge my phone with the dock on my bedside table. The LED being on all the time is annoying. I use light flow but it seems unable to control the charge state for the LED.
Anyone know if there is a way, short of rooting, to stop the battery LED.

I don't think there is way to disable charging LED,probably root will be able to
But for now,you can try to change the led colour to make it not that bright...

Yes.. Turn your phone screen down to disable

What do you mean? I've tried setting the brightness to minimum (and turning auto off) and it makes no difference. LED still shows while charging.
EDIT: Oh I see, you were being a wise-ass and suggesting I put the phone face down. Anyone got anything useful to contribute?
Kinda off topic but why the hell does the led turn green BEFORE its fully charged lol This is just so stupid because ive often seen the led turn green, and unplugged the charger thinking it was fully charged only to see it on 90+ %. Would be so much better if they just kept it orange and it does not turn green until it reaches 100!! Dont think you can turn it off either by the way but you can for notifications

I wrote about how I fixed this in the Z3C forum. Check it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55818000
Cool, thanks. That basically works.
I am using Light Flow and it seems that if you try to use absolute black (HEX Code FF000000) it doesn't work and the default charging colour overrides it.
If you use any other colour it does work so I set the charging and fully charged events to use HEX Code FF000001 (which is as good as black) and that works! It still uses the normal charging colours when the screen is on but that's not a problem.
I can finally have a dark bedroom while the phone is docked!
Can a mod mark the title with [Solved]. I think this would be helpful to a few people.

I agree 100% but that's the code in the AOSP. Cyanogenmod, slimroms etc all do it. It's just the corporate stock roms that don't, generally - this is the first one I've seen which does it.
I have absolutely no idea why it's not perfectly clear to everyone that you only want the led to go green when the charge level reaches 100%, so that you don't have to perform two checks to see if the battery is charged: one for the LED colour, and a second to see if the value is 100.
Does it stop charging once the battery hits 100%?
Is it good for the battery in the long run? (by that I mean a year as I anyways upgrade to the next flagship).

I'm not positive yet, but I do believe that it stops when it hits 100. I'm not sure if it will kick back on at some point, or not.
I have the pad and it turns off when it hits 100%, the light turns green and it shuts off. I'm unsure if it turns back on at some point but I picked up my phone in the morning and it was at 95% and the charger was off, so there's that.
Yeah, I've noticed my phone is never 100% when I pick it up in the morning after using wireless charging. I guess it shuts off and doesn't kick on. I wonder if an AutomateIt rule could fix this or if the charger pad itself needs to see the phone go away and come back.
