Anyone seeing a charging issue on the dock?
Here is what I'm seeing. My tablet is at 80% charger...so I plug it into the dock which is at 98% charge..but for some reason the dock doesn't charge the tablet. I reboot the tablet with the dock connected..still the dock doesn't charge the tablet.
I take the tablet out of the dock and reboot then connect it to the dock again then I'm able to see that it is charging correctly.
Anyone else see this issue? I don't know if the problem is the dock or the tablet or the software. I'm assuming that this is software related otherwise it would never charge.
Thoughts?
Same here. Are you plugging into a wall or pc? I found by using the wall charger it fixed the problem.

neither. i'm just trying to let it charge from the dock and it won't do it unless i reboot the tablet separately and then reconnect it to the dock. even if i keep the tablet on the dock and then restart...it still won't charge.
The dock starts charging the tablet when it reaches 70%.

oh i see. but i do think i have a problem with the tablet..i try to charge it directly and now its not charge. it was at 77% without the dock..plugged in the charger and no charging. very strange. but if i connect the tablet to the dock and then charge it then it appears to be fine.

anyone face the same problem, cannot charge battery in normal way ?
E.g
Battery status 40% and then want to connect cable to charge it, but no response,
need to reboot and connect cable together, then it does.

Hello ,
I just bought a tf700t with keyboard dock.
i have a question for the first time charge....
Do i have to connect the tablet to its keyboard docking and plug in the charger into the dock for eight hours or
just charge the tablet itself for eight hours ?
Does the docking need first time charge btw ?
If you have both the tablet and the dock, most likely you will need to charge both the first time. To save time connect the two and charge away.

Thanks very much. However I am now charging tablet only and will charge the dock tonight!
Hello, all. I just picked up a dock from Best Buy last night and am having some interesting problems with it. When I first connect it to the Infinity, it always shows that it has 56% battery life. Then, after a few minutes, it shows 0% battery life, but still works fine (I'm typing this on it right now, as it says 0% battery life). I charged it over night (with the tablet docked), so I figured it would've charged completely (tablet was fully charged, as expected). I am on CleanROM 2.7.2, so part of me wonders if it's a ROM (or kernel) thing. Has anybody heard of this or had experience with it? What should I do to try to remedy the problem?
Thanks in advance for any insight!

Been charging all day... after searching, I decided to try a cold boot with the Infinity docked, which didn't work. I charged the dock and tablet together afterward, with the tablet powered off... tablet is showing 100%, dock still says 56%. Installed "dual battery meter" to see if it was an ASUS widget issue, but the aftermarket widget shows 56%, too.
Should I just suspect my dock is defective?

I think you got a bad dock and would take it back for exchange. I have had zero problems with my dock/keyboard. I unpackaged it, connected it to the tablet, plugged it in, both dock and tablet fully charged without issue.

Exchanged. New one is charging. I'll post back with results. Thanks for your insight!
Update: Charging light went green and the widget is showing the dock has a full charge. I guess I simply got a defective unit. Thanks again!

How much is it from Best buy? 149 $. Does it real t700 dock ?
I want dock too, but look ebay over 149
It is $149.99 at Best Buy. It is the TF700/TF201 dock (as opposed to the TF500/TF700 dock, which I believe is supposed to be forward compatible, but with no other differences in functionality).

one thing to note, although the battery in the dock can go completely dead, you will still be able to use the keyboard to type. It just wont charge your Infinity.

Will the dock cause increased battery drain on the Infinity if you use it when it's dead? (By the way, thanks for responding. I suspected that a dead dock was still usable, but had I known that, I'd have been more confident that my dock was defective from the start).
Hi guys,
New to this part of the forum with a support question. My sister got a TF300T tablet and dock combo about 5 weeks ago and has been using the keyboard attached. She has however never realised that the dock needs to be charged separately and in that 5 weeks has never charged it so naturally when attached to the tablet it is showing 0%
I took it home to do some testing and plugged the keyboard dock into the mains charger and received the orange flashing light. 16 hours later I attached the tablet to the keyboard dock to see that the dock was still at 0%, so in 16 hours it has not charged at all and still was flashing orange.
I drained the tablet battery and started charging both together through the dock and the keyboard was flashing and the tablet had a steady orange.
I have left it to charge while I am at work but am worried that the battery in the dock is faulty.
Can anyone shed some light on what I can try to get this damn thing charging?
PS. The tablet is running stock firmware and has never been rooted. No SD card in dock or tablet either. Cheers.
If the dock isn't charging then it's faulty. :thumbdown: I would send it back.

Thanks for the reply. i guess I was looking for some sort of confirmation. Will be returning it tomorrow.
Cheers.
No problem. You should be able to plug the dock into the charger and it should start charging immediately. If it's not charging then it's faulty. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

That's what I thought but 16 hour charge and still at 0% told me something was wrong.
May be the bearer of bad news but it has put my mind at ease a little bit as the store I bought it from will accept the return and no warranty claim is necessary.
Good news. Hopefully you'll be able to get another dock too. I use mine all the time and love it.
Best of luck to you.

your 1% too high mate lol the dock will only kick in after the tablet drops below 70% mate
LOL! i have this tablet for more then a month and i didn't know that! BUT every widget i use says it is charging and the battery meter is rising! BUT android is not saying it is charging!
EDIT: when i enable always show battery percentage: it shows DIScharging on the lockscreen! (BTW: running aokp)
EDIT2: in the battery section in the settings app it says: 75 - charging! but the lockscreen doesn't so i guess it's just an AOKP bug i just noticed
EDIT3: currently i have a charger plugged in into the dock (in a car) it's around 12V and nothing happens! the tablet still charges trough the dock do! so i assume it is not a hardware issue but it is just not enough power!
EDIT4: now i know the car doesn't give enough power because: the tablet/dock alone doesn't charge!
So in the end: there is nothing wrong with my tablet! i can be really stupid sometimes i really love this tablet and i am afraid something will hapen to it!
