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!

I just got my tf700 & all was good until I noticed that there was no feedback on keyboard presses. I've tried everything & I don't think the tf700 has a vibrating motor.
Is that true? or I just got a defective unit AS ALWAYS!

I've been using the dock a lot lately, but if I recall correctly I'm pretty sure on-screen keyboard presses make noise from the speaker but do not vibrate. However, I know my tf700 vibrates every time I shut down the device or boot it up.
I've just tried setting it on in SwiftKey and I've found out that it was on all the time, so it definitely does not respond with vibrations, lol.
Mine vibrates on bootup too.
Might be a software thing, as the battery is certainly capable of vibrating, as the booting vibrations prove.
Well... Turns out that my unit is defective. I have no vibrations whatsoever on boots of shutdowns too.

Cool, it's working! Can be felt at about 30ms and higher.
Unfortunately this is for the Android keyboard only - and using it for a minute made me realise how much I love SwiftKey right now

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.

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.

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

Hey there,
Just curious if anyone else sees this problem? And if there's a known reason or fix? Pretty much like the topic name says.... sometimes tapping the clock just does nothing, no matter how deliberately I tap or hold it. I know it isn't hardware because when I rotate into the other other orientation, that portion of the screen that was just the clock now responds fine to touch. A reboot will fix. Thoughts?
EDIT: Should have mentioned - bone stock, unrooted, locked etc. Havent gotten up to any tinkering with this thing, too many bad hardware reports to invalidate warranty lol. Though my hardware seems good so far...
Thanks...

I prefer the ASUS quick setting to stock Android notification, but I don't think I have any problem with them. Have you try cold booting your tablet? Shut down and press power+volume down?
I know you said it's not hardware, yet that sounds like a digitizer problem.
I get this from time to time - I even got it once last night, after flashing CleanRom 2.3... which was a little disappointing.
I've found that if I get a notification of some kind - say, an email being received - it clears this bug and I can then tap on the clock to bring up the quick settings menu and it will work fine from then on. It's only after a reboot that the bug reappears, but then not every time.

Yes. I get the issue since I believe JB update. One work around that worked for me is open setting from setting icon, which I have on one of home menu. Some how after that it works again. So I agree it is definitely not related to hardware.
Hi,
Yes, this happens randomly with my tablet too. Likewise, only since JB.
As noted above a notification does seem to make the issue go away. I have tried all sorts to find the cause but always come up blank. Rebooting also removes the problem.

I had this issue with JB. It was annoying as hell. Went back to ICS because of this and the "black flickering lines" problem. I already posted about this, but maybe it was on TF and not here... It's a bug in JB...

I suffer from this as well.
Yeah, notifications seem to fix it. Glad I'm not the only one... I guess. Really is annoying as hell to not have quick access to brightness settings and stuff. Funny, I didn't know the cold boot required the volume button trick, I thought just a normal shut down / restart did that. Thanks for the tip, I'll do it regularly lol.

Sorry all, but I don't have this issue on my rooted, locked .18 JB. It works very well indeed.
I also have this problem. The only way I can fixitisjust a shutdownand restart. Can be annoying.
Same here... Started after the JB update... One quick fix for me is to plug in my ear-buds and the QSP pops up.. If you don't want to carry around your ear-buds, if you have a pair that you don't use anymore or a damaged pair, you can cut the tip off and carry it around in your case/cover..

What do you mean by "auto caps"? There is a Caps Lock key on the keyboard dock (it even has a little LED light on it to tell you when it's engaged), but I'm assuming that is *not* what you are talking about?

By auto caps I mean after completing a sentence, the first letter typed would be capitalized. However it appears to be working fine for me in certain word apps.
Thx.
Asbdags: made me laugh. Thanks.
@Rashar: you found theosnwer all by yourself: it's an application feature, and is NOT a feature on the keyboard dock. With software keyboards, it often is. Sounds like typing on an actual keyboard is just not your thing. You'll have to put in the effort of making a character capitalized yourself. Major bummer. You have my sympathy.

Auto caps is not a feature of any hardware keyboard I know of - neither my IBM Model M, nor my Cherry G80, nor the Transformer dock has auto caps. It's annoying anyway because it doesn't know the difference between an abbreviation and an end of sentence.

Auto Caps on a hardware keyboard? That's a new one. That has never existed to begin with. Any Auto-Caps features are software-based, not hardware-based. (guess what, a software keyboard is software!)
Hi there,
It's about time I root my infinity but before I do I just want to check up on some issues to see if it's warranty or just an annoyance I'll have to live with...
Whenever my keyboard is out of battery while the tablet is not, my tablet seems to turn off while not being actively used. Is the the way it's supposed to work, or at least the way it works for everyone?

Yep, if you mean turns the screen off. You can set the time out under display settings. No, if you mean completely shuts the tab down.
