So heres the problem, the the mobile dock battery saving mode is unchecked, so I should be able to wake up my tablet by pressing a key on the keyboard dock. Since the ICS upgrade this hasn't worked for me, on WW .11 and .17.
I have a B40 TF and a B80 dock. The mobile dock version is EP101-0213, and on stock WW.17.
I didnt do an official Asus ota upgrade, instead I flashed a complete WW .11 rooted. I'm just wondering maybe if the dock version needs to be updated.
Everything else works except that the tablet does not wake with a keyboard press.
Does anyone else have the same problem? or a solution?
Bump
So I'm guessing that this is not a common problem from the lack of responses.
Can anyone at least confirm that my mobile dock version number for WW .17 is correct?
Has anyone else followed similar upgrade paths and not had this problem?
Last question. I'm in Canada, before flashing the HC prime rom for the first time, I didn't make note of the original firmware. Is WW the correct firmware for Canada?
Hopefully someone has some more insights into the inner workings of the TF..
Thanks!
I can confirm - I believe that this is a known bug...
Its pretty much hit or miss with that as there are atleast 2 different dock revisions. If you double tap the trackpad with two fingers with or without the batery mode on it should turn the tablet on
Asus Support
So I sent a support request to ASUS for this issue:
[Problem Description]
ICS WW .17, Since the ICS upgrade, I am no longer able to wake the tablet up by pressing keys on the keyboard dock. NOTE: I have unchecked the "MobileDock Battery saving mode" option in the Asus customized Settings menu. When the tablet goes to sleep, the ONLY way to wake it is to press the power button, pressing any key on the keyboard dock will not wake the tablet. This is not as it was designed.

and here's the response:
To resolve the issue, we recommend performing a full factory reset. Prior to performing the full factory reset, please back up all personal files because data will be erased during the process. Note that all your applications are tied to your Google account. Please remove the micro SD card if you have one inserted.
To perform a full factory reset please follow the instructions below:
1) Enter Settings menu
2) Select Privacy settings
3) Select Factory data reset
Once the factory reset starts, simply follow in onscreen instructions. When it is complete, the unit will restart.

Clearly they think I upgraded from HC to ICS without having done a factory reset (? hah!). I've actually done many ... (damn reboots) .. and am limiting the apps that I install so I don't get more reboots.
Admittedly, I've only done the data wipe with CWM, would doing the wipe through the android settings be any different? it will wipe my SD card.. but before wiping all of my files, does anyone know if this will make a difference for my keyboard working?
Cheers.

Hi all,
Fairly simple to explain: Most of my dock's hotkeys don't work.
Back works, as well as screen lock (hit this again does not bring the TF out of sleep, though I don't know if that's normal or not), and the music keys work most of the time. Nothing else does however.
Transformer is a B50 model, the dock is a B60. Running latest firmware. 8.6.5.9 or whatever it is. Stock, unrooted. I've tried hard resets, factory resets, etc. None of that has helped. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Since you are not rooted and still Stock I highly suggest contacting ASUS.
I also have this problem with my b70 stock, I think Asus keyboard services or keyboard background services has closed. Not so sure about it but sometime detach and attach again works
I performed a Factory Reset and now my Trackpad seems to have reverted to the 3.0 operation.
The Circle cursor is gone, replaced with the impossible to read arrow and Zoom/Drag with 2 fingers no longer works.
I tried to run an OTA update, but cannot as the program states I already have the latest version.
I have not rooted the transformer and cannot seem to load the 3.2.1 .apk file.
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: That was dumb
Took the Transformer out of the Dock and found the "Touchpad Pointer Style". Set it and it is operating as expected. Sorry
I just got my dock and it's wondeful, unfortunately it doesn't wake up with the touchpad or the usb mouse as it does w/ my tf101. I have to press the power button for it. I have latest asus firmware 9.4.3.26-20120416.
I've been looking all over settings controlling this function with no success.
Does anybody have the same issue?
Try settings -> ASUS customized settings -> Mobiledock Powersaving mode, and uncheck that, see if it fixes it.
Already tried that, only works once after rebooting. then just doesn't work anymore. another bug to add to the infamous list of asus android tablets.

do you mean you use TF300 dock with TF101?
because your title is tf300, but you mentioned tf101 in thread...
I reported this bug to Asus. It wouldn't hurt if other people reported it also so maybe they fix it quicker.
When opening my tf300 tablet while connected to the keyboard dock on firmware .17
the screen would wake. Now since the OTA to .26 firmware the screen does not wake
when opening he tablet. I have to push the power button to wake the screen.
Customer support suggested a factory reset which did NOT fix the issue. (I knew it
wouldn't).
Don't have the same issue here since disabling sleep on dock under asus settings.
I also have this problem. I also unchecked dock sleep in asus settings. We are missing something here. We will find it.
well im glade i read ALL THE posts. im currently bumping this to get more attention, i agree , my tf101 turns on when opening the screen as well. my tf300 i noticed it day one NOT doing this. i told my wife this is a really good reason to return it. it bugs hard core.
again the issue is opening the tab with dock the unit wont wake automaticly. closing it turns the unit off right. the lazy side of pressing a button is a nag to me.

Is this happening to everyone on .26 and upwards? I'm still on .17 and my screen turns on every time I open the lid

Mine works correctly as well.
Any idea how much of a battery drain this is though? The description in the ASUS Custom settings for this says it will conserve battery if this feature is disabled. That always worries me.

What version are you running? .17 or upwards?
I updated from .17 to .30 and my tablet no longer turns on when I open the lid
OK so I downloaded & installed the latest OTA update (RV23RC03; 1.057) with the power mode choices, and it has completely destroyed my touch screen response! I previously had ZERO problem with this- every key press registered on both the original ROM and the 1st update. Since the latest update, everything takes 2 or 3 presses, sometimes VERY firmly, many times still without registering. This totally sux
Is anyone else having this issue? I should note that I do have a matte screen protector on; this previously caused NO problems.
Is there an easy reasonably safe way to revert back to the 1st update (RV07RC06; 1.029)? A link and/or instructions appreciated. Thanks.
Acer, are you out there? This exact issue occurred with my A510 on its 1st update, after which it became nearly unusable for me. Since it was < 30 days I was able to return it. No such luck this time. Why are these updates doing this? It's driving me nuts!
No issues with touch on update. It seems to be running better actually.
Try to completely reset thru recovery with wipe data maybe.
More specific instructions

That's so amazing. I went from no problem at all, to I can hardly use this any more; only thing that changed was the update.
Can you please be specific about how to reset through recovery. (Step-by-step if possible) and how to wipe data.
Thanks.
You can reset data thru settings/privacy but you will lose everything and start fresh.
I'll check on the other method later on for you.
Also turn up touch sensitivity in settings/display if you haven't...
Edit - it appears that the stock recovery doesnt have those options.
You can still reset by inside ICS like above, or...
Factory Reset:
WARNING: reset will start immediately
Volume button (one dot) and Power button, once buzzes release power button and then toggle the rotation switch on and off a few times
Yes of course, I have set screen sensitivity to high. I think I'd rather go back to 1st update, rather than wipe everything (I do have a backup but it's still a hassle). I can't believe no one else is having this problem.
Any idea how to revert to last update?
Someone in a german android forum mentioned that it help on his device after the update to set the sensitivity to the lowest setting and then back to middle or high.
I tried playing with sensitivity settings, turning on/off,resetting and no luck.
I actually found the ROM from before the update on this website and flashed it as update.zip with vol +power. It worked, I now have 1.029 back and touch screen works perfectly. I'm sorry to lose power management but i think I'll stay where I am . Don't ask me about a Jellybean update; I'll want it but after this I'll be afraid to try it. If anyone has an explanation for this i'd love to hear it.

I had the exact same issue with quick settings and missing home and recent buttons after flashing the update. Found a full wipe and install solved it.

Worked by first wiping the internal, data, and more stuff except the external SD card, after I flashed it again it worked.
Still looking how to fix the driver issue so I can sideload trough TWRP
had same issue today...
if you have your Shield tablet rooted you can run as root in terminal emulator this:
Code:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity
I have stock Nvidia Shield Tablet with Nougat installed. I had no problems up till yesterday, where I used the Console Mode in the hotel room to attach the tablet to the screen. This morning I wanted to skype and couldn't use the back button, because it did not appear. I checked if I was in full screen mode (which I was) and I unchecked that. But now I only have the back button and permanently on screen, and the Home and Recent Apps is still missing. When I switch back and forward between the center and edge position of the navigation buttons they briefly appear and then dissapear again. I have not found any settings to fix this. I really want to avoid a hard reset as I am on a business trip with limited wifi and re-installing and downloading everything is not an option right now.
I do hope there is a simpler fix.
I had this happen already twice on my tablet. I did a factory reset once but it happened again. I'm on the latest update not rooted stock.
Nougat..
