[Q] TF starts when charger is plugged

Hello Everybody,
I bought My Transformer 16Go + Dock yesterday, and I must say I am completely satisfied.
But there's one thing annoying me. When I plug the charger in the tablet, this one starts automaticaly.
Is there an option to disable this functionnality ?
I'm on an european version, maybe US version has this feature in the latest firmware ?
Another question, is there a way to have the charge indicator for both the tablet and the dock on the status bar ?
Thanks
Mx

Plug it in
Hi
Mine does the same - it is a bit annoying. I have posed on the ASUS UK page asking about it. Will post here if they reply.

I think this is pretty typical behavior. My phones all turn on when I plug them in, and my Xoom also turned on when plugged in. I just hit the power button to put it back to sleep...
A battery charge indicator for the dock was in a beta firmware release but got cut from the latest shipping release. Hopefully we'll see it come back, perhaps in the 3.1 release "coming soon."

As Wynand said, this is pretty standard behavior. Droid, DroidX, Archos 101, Nook Color and TF all did it.
I would like it if they didn't, but if you want to charge when OFF, you need to plug it in, then turn it off.

Ok, thanks for your answers !

SOLVED - Kinda [Q] Keyboard Dock Battery will not charge

Hi everyone,
I was using the megatron 1.0.1 rom and I doubt it has anything to do with my problem, but did happen right after flashing this rom for the first time. I left the tablet docked in the keyboard dock in sleep mode for a few days only to come back to it completely drained. I don't think it was deep sleeping for some reason but I didn't look into it to much. I charged it back up through the keyboard dock, but now the battery widget is displaying 0% on the keyboard dock and will not charge it anymore. The light on the side always stays solid orange, never blinks and never goes green anymore. I have since changed to the latest ASUS official firmware in hopes to revive it with official firmware.
I tried a few suggestions with no luck. This is what I tried.
1. Reset battery stats and Cold reboot
2. Allow wake on keyboard, allow it to deep sleep and then wake it with keyboard press
3. Fully charge tablet with power adapter, turn off, change power adapter to keyboard dock and then reseat tablet and let it turn on automatically.
4. Leave it plugged in USB for a few hours.
5. Charge just the dock without the tablet seated.
I'm looking for any suggestions and hopefully someone who has solved the problem??
It is no longer under Warranty so RMA is not an option.
Thanks for any help.

Hi, i have the same problem. But i'm using Megatron 1.0.4 keyboard blinks orange all the time with the tablet docked and without it. I would also know if anyone have a solution for that. i didn'T tried to go to stok to see if it help.

The wake on Keypress is part of the ASUS official firmware and I saw a suggestion to try that to get the battery charging. Also I wanted to ensure I had the latest dock firmware incase ASUS put a fix in to revive the battery to start charging again. Does you battery widget also say 0%?
Blinking orange means below 5% I believe, and does the blinking orange stop when the tablet is not connected? If it blinks with the tablet disconnected from the keyboard dock, try contact cleaner of the dock connector, something might have shorted pins making it believe the tablet is connected.

Yes, my battery widget says 0%. Now i have tried the latest cornerstone nightley of teameos and my dock now stopped blinking and shows green. that means its full charged. but the widget shows 0%. now i try my nandroid backup of stock rom. in the teameos nightley i havent an option with wake on keypress

Thats good, sounds like you got your fixed. Our problems are a bit different with the status of the dock LED, but glad yours is fixed. I tried eos nightly 24 as well when I first tried to solve the problem, but it made no difference to addressing my problem.
And the wake on keyboard option is only in the ASUS based roms like the official or Revolution, Revolver, Frozn roms which are all based off the ASUS roms. Its in the ASUS option in settings.
Hoping someone will see this thread that might have a good suggestion.

Yes, i hope someone can help you out. my dock behaviour is now how it should be. green when fully charged, but the dual battery widget shows 0% for the dock. no wi try to restore my nandroid of stock rom and the first try failed with an error while restore the "/data"...i try it again after wipe everything. hope the widget will work on stock. But i will try again the megatron rom. Its the best i tried for now. TeamEos have some potential but Megatron is very fast and stable for me...with the only one problem with the dock battery
EDIT: Now it seems like i have fixed all. I have restored my nandroid of stock rom and then it worked with the widget correct. Now i install again the Megatron 1.0.4 Rom and voila it shows the battery icon and the dual battery widget how it should be. hope you will have succsess on your problem

Thats great, glad you've got it working right. So your solution was simply just flashing another rom and then back to stock and you were fixed?
I'm noticing another problem now, and not sure if it is at all to do with this. I was at 40% battery in my tablet last night. I turned it off, and I left it in the keyboard dock. When I woke up this morning and tried to turn in on, it wouldn't turn on. Plug it back in the outlet and let it turn on and it is 0% So somehow its still draining really quickly while being off. I need to test without the keyboard dock attached to see if it is some how sucking the battery out of the tablet. It now does the reverse of what its suppose to do, instead of giving power, it takes power from the tablet.
Weird issues, I might call ASUS and find out what it costs to repair this vs just buying another. Not having much luck on the forums with anyone else having this exact issue.

The quick battery drain is called a "Sleep of Death, or SOD" it's an ICS issue, nothing we can do untill ASUS fixes the firmware, as for the dock, try discharging the tablet completely then charging the dock and seeing if it will then charge the tablet. If so it's probably an indicator light/widget issue, flashing back to stock then back to ROM should fix it. Also check your connectors for debris/etc.. as suggested above.

Well good news for me, I called ASUS last night about the problem and the opened an RMA and told me to send it in. I wasn't going to mention the warranty already expired, and they didn't say anything when I gave them my serial number, so it was defiantly worth the effort. I will report back once I receive the dock, but to anyone that has a similar issue that can't be solved like mine, its worth the call to ASUS to see if they will still cover it. I think mine is more hardware problem then a software glitch.

Well just to end this thread and marked it as solved, I just wanted to comment that the only fix for mine was RMA. It seemed like a hardware problem, but perhaps just a coincidence that I also installed Megatron Rom just before. Anyways, if you find yourself in my situation, try ASUS RMA dept. I was out of warranty, they either didn't know or didn't care and RMA'd it for me. Thanks ASUS for the new keyboard dock, works perfectly again!

[Q] About dock

Recently, I have noticed that my dock lights up, the light it has turns on and flashes orange once, and at first i thought it was whenever i had an email or notification since it seemed to happen at that time, but now i'm not so sure,
but just to clarify, this doesn't seem to have an affect on the docks battery life.
Help is appreciated in understanding this

Mine seemes to flash when the dock is out of juice but connected to the tablet. I've not managed to work out the pattern as to what causes it to flash at other times though

It will most likely be the USB cable. Order a new sync cable and I'm confident that will resolve your problem.

Ahh this is another issue altogether, seen a few threads relating to this issue of dock stuck at 0%, dock should normally say 3% charge, there are methods/ ideas on fixing it, ull have to do some googling. as i dont have time atm (hint: http://www.transformerforums.com/) good luck.

If your dock battery went completely flat, there is a chance that a switch inside the dock changed state to disable dock battery charging.
Why it does this, I have no idea. But if you think you can handle opening the dock (2 screws under the back feet then slowly snap it apart from one of the back corners) and look for a switch to toggle. I am pretty sure it is the only toggle switch inside the dock.

I've got the same problem... I'll probably open it up at some point but before I do does anyone know if this could be a firmware issue? I got my tf101 and immediately started flashing stuff on it and didn't even check to see if I was running ICS. I know that there was a dock firmware update that came with ICS and I'm curious if this issue is related.

I opened the I very done all instructions still not charging I think it is broken forerver

I have the same problem. But I found out the dock Battery connector & the pad Battery connector is the same so I remove both connector. use the pad to charge up the dock Battery. Finally saw 1% on my dock Battery after 5 min. Hope that everything goes well.

Getting 9% charge now......
Edit. After charging overnight when connect back still in 0% state. Look like it will remain 0% forever.

I am having the same issue with the base not charging the tablet AND I am also have an issue where the SD card is not recognised by the OS.
Did you have the same issue with the SD card reader?

[Q] dock battery stuck at 0%

I have charged my dock with the tablet and without the tablet and i rebooted like a million times, but my eee pad keeps saying my dock battery is 0%... Even after two nights charging.
Is it a well know problem? Software or hardware related? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
P.s. the dock led light keeps flashing orange with long bursts while charger is connected.
While tablet is in use and im not charging, it keeps flashing orange in short bursts, i dont know if this helps in anyway.

Sounds like the dock has a fault mate Those charging lights are when the battery is at 0% so it is not receiving any charge.

Aah no! I have my tf700 for Less than two months now! Any way, thanks for the fast reply. I will see if i can use my warrenty.
Just to be sure. The fault is in the dock, so it doesnt matter my eee pad is unlocked right?

Well if you are getting the orange flashing light when trying to charge whilst undocked then it is a problem with the dock itself.
