I currently use the thumb keyboard, and this is a potential problem that i could bring up with their developers. But currently the problem i have is when using the tablet(undocked) i use thumb keyboard, when i then dock the tablet the input method is still set to thumb, the dock and everything works except it is in a US layout, annoyingly " and @ are swapped. To fix this everytime i have to click the keyboard icon in the notification bar and select asus english uk keyboard.
Anybody know of an app in development to automatically switch this, and back again when undocked.
Or does anybody know the code to detect docking and undocking? and i could try write something.
Cheers

I think at this stage you'll have to change it manually, I'm not aware of anything such as an app that can change it automatically based the whether the dock is connected.

Is there any app tah really locks the auto rotate function?
I've got a non rooted transformer, honeycomb 3.2 and use it frequently in bed. i find very annoying to have to tap on lower right corner and then open settings and then slide the auto rotation off.
I've already tried different apps like power control plus, beautiful widgets, autorotate ofOff, auto-rotate switch, auto rotate widget and many others like them but all of them simply recall the previuous state when i've manually locked the screen orientation with the method above.
so i'm looking for an app/widget that behaves like asus native lock orientation, or if there is a sort of macro creator that records taps and then create a shrotcut?
I've been looking for the same thing as well. Tried a few widgets like Widgetsoid.
Seriously? Tap the notification clock panel, hit the button that looks like this -|-|-|, and then hit Auto-Rotate off...
Do you guys actually try before you post?

I guess you didn't read the OP...
I've tried various solutions as well, including the above "helpful" suggestion. Rotation lock on the TF doesn't work very well. I'm not sure if this is an Android thing, or a TF thing though...

Maybe is for my bad english but please read my question before criticize:
I've already know your suggested method and actually i'm using it as it is the only one that really works.
but i have to tap once to open the notification panel, tap once again to open the settings panel, then slide the rotation lock (wich sometimes doesn't slide and requires some tries) and then tap again to close the settings panel.
so i was looking for an alternative that involves less tapping.
i've tried some apps and windgets but none of them works as they simply recall the last locked state operated by the method above (if i locked the screen in portrait using asus notification panel, activating the widget rotates and locks the screen in portrait no matter if it was in landscape - of course applications that has fixed orientation maintains their orientation).
Pretty funny. At least you provided an answer

God forbid you have to tap more than 1 time...
If you really can't tap more than 3 times, go write an app that does it in a swipe gesture.

this one might work for you but I think they all are simply other ways of turning on and off rotate in android, and nothing special beyond the method.

Just use SwitchPro Widget...
I use Widgetsoid and one of the option is orientation lock/unlock

Seems lazy, 3 taps is nothing.. You know how many this reply was? Lol you are saying youd rather hit home(1) widget(2) multitask panel(3) app(4) which is more work, than just tapping the corner a couple times

This is android buddy, more than 2 taps is utterly unacceptable

WOW, nobody read his post at all. He's saying that he is looking for an APP/WIDGET that will allow him to control auto rotate and have the auto rotate preference still set AFTER he turns his tablet back on. Stop criticizing him for asking for help. He already said he knows about the setting in the panel, but wants another way. Instead of calling him lazy you could go to the Market and begin trying apps out and see which one works.
Back on topic I have tried the following 2 apps and they seem to work fine for me, even after a few screen offs and ons and a few minutes sitting screen off the settings were still set properly. However if the first one does not work for you the second app just puts a quick shortcut in your notifications. Effectively cutting your taps from 3 to 2.
Auto Rotate On/Off by CurveFish
Auto Rotate Switch by Kenneth Cheng
Tried them both - nope, it still won't work properly. Sorry, but thanks for suggestion anyway. Msybe honeycomb handles auto-rotation switching differently.
Prime's old rom used to have an option to disable tap to click on the touch pad for the dock. It doesn't as of ver 1.9, I really loved this feature. Is there anyway to get it back on the newer honeycomb roms?
My dock has a button on the top of the keyboard to disable touchpad. Top row, 4th button from the left between Bluetooth and Brightness
Cheers!
PS: Re-read post and guess its not what your looking for......sorry
There is an app called "input settings" that disabled touch to click. It's floating around here somewhere. It was included with some of the transformer custom roms, and I think the rom has to support it to use it. Check the rom threads for it.
I really like the the app, however it never saved it's settings upon reboot, so you have to reactivate it every time you boot. Absolutely awesome app though.
Yea I've looked for the input settings APK with no luck. Supposidly the kernel can be compiled with support for tap to click disabled. I don't want to disable the touchpad completely, just tap to click.
Unfortunately the code that was in the kernel has been removed. Probably something to do with the new pointer/gestures options and the app no longer works.
If I find a way to disable the tap to click I see if it can be implemented.
Is this 3.2 specific, or specific to the transformer? I'll start digging and see what I can find.
Has anyone found a solution to this wth 3.2? Just picked one of these guys up and the touchpad is useless if it's not disabled since I keep bumping it with my thumbs when I hit space.
Subject says it all. "vibrate on touch" not functioning...AGAIN, and I did factory reset, firmware update blah blah blah. This makes 3 in a row for me with this issue. C6, C5, and now C7 s/n.
This time I bought it at Best Buy locally instead of online like the first two, so I can exchange it more easily.
So, what's the over/under on the total # of times I'll be exchanging this thing until I get one that works 100%?
Mechanical construction seems fine w/ minimal light bleed.
One final thing ASUS: W T F ?!
No haptic feedback on what, typing? There are settings to increase the instensity and the stock setting you can't feel it, so you need to go to the keyboard in settings and change the intensity.

No touch feedback on ANYTHING.
The only place I notice the haptic feedback is when I power the device on and off - that's it... I'm wondering if all 3 units were actually fine the whole time??

My first one it worked fine then inexplicably stopped working. Every time I tapped the screen I would get a response. When I would place widgets on the screen I would get a response. I can adjust the settings/volume in advanced keyboard settings, but when I type there is no feedback response. Mine does vibrate on start-up/shut-down, that's it.
I feel a slight vibration when I press any of the three buttons on the lower left of the home screen
Did you go to "Settings - Sound - Vibrate On Touch" and turn it on?

If it works on startup/shutdown then I don't think it's a hardware problem - probably just a combination of settings...

This is nuts...
There is an option that can be toggled on and off in the settings menu. It's called "vibrate on contact". You know what I am referring to, right? Whether or not that box is checked has no effect on the haptic feedback.
I am aware of the 'advanced keyboard settings' where the duration of the feedback can be set. I can slide that around and feel the response. When I use the keyboard: no response. Again, it's not just the keyboard, it's everything.
My very first tablet, when I clicked on menu items, icons, etc, the scren would vibrate..just like my cell phone. Every time I tapped the screen there was a solid response. Then it suddenly stopped working. 2nd tablet, very faint feedback when hitting the 3 icons in the lower right hand side, none anywhere else.
I have a feeling a LOT of people have this issue and don't realize it and/or don't care about it.
Bottom line is, my constant issue has nothing to do 'playing with settings' hard boot, cold boot, boot in the ass, whatever. It has to do with piss poor quality control on the part of the mfg.

When I turn it on... All 3 lower left icons have haptic feedback. When I go into settings and turn off "vibrate on touch" , it doesn't work. I don't see a problem.

Haptic feedback response is supposed to be for more than just clicking on those 3 icons you are referring to. How about when you select various things from the settings menu? When you click on an app? Press and hold an app/widget in the menu to drag to the homescreen? In those cases, and others like typing, there should be vibratory feedback. If you're ok with it then great. I just feel that if I am spending $500+ on something I want ALL the functions to work.

Are you using the stock launcher?
Ya, thats settings for the tablet dude. If you feel the feedback when you turn it on or off then it IS working. Asus has just nerfed the HF when your navigating around android likely to save battery life. Chances are with custom roms and custom kernels when they come you can boost the intensity of the vibration and enable it for everything, not just three or four buttons on the homescreen.
Honestly, in a device like this having HF is sort of silly, one tiny vibrator isnt going to provide that much feedback in such a large device and it just kills battery. The only time i really like having it is when i turn on the device and get that feedback to tell me that yes, the tablet is in fact turning on.
I had the same issue that haptic feedback was only working while powering the device up.
But to my big surprise it started to work on everything without me doing anything about it.

Maybe its a bug that didn't exist in the firmware version on your original unit, but exists in the current firmware...
My point is that its not a *hardware* issue if it vibrates on power up/down...

Wow! Didn't even know about this being another issue that I can add to my litany of complaints. The only vibration/feedback I get is when powering up. I suspect many have this problem and do not realize it. Another QC **** up for ASUS...........

Maybe, but I always turn off haptic on my phones and tablets.. never did like them
Ok, so I just tested this. The only way to key the soft keyboard keys to vibrate on touch is by going into the "Asus Keyboard" settings and enabling it there. If I enabled it under the "Android keyboard" settings, it doesn't work (since we actually using the Asus soft keyboard). Also, make sure to increase the vibration length as it defaults to 1ms or something like that.
Have you enabled the vibration under *Asus Keyboard* settings?
The back, home and recent apps soft keys did vibrate by selecting Vibrate on touch under Settings->Sound.
So, it seems to work as expected here...

Is there any way I can invert the two-finger scrolling when using the dock on the TF700? It's a bit weird for me to scroll up to make the page scroll down. Basically make the trackpad perfom just like on regular laptops.
Thanks!

Have you enabled gesture mode? Think of the track pad as the same as you would interact with the screen and it will be easier

Good point. But I want the laptop/netbook experience when I'm using the dock, know what i mean?
Anyway, how exactly do you turn on gesture mode on 4.3 (CM10.2)? Tried looking under accessibility options and input options, can't find gesture mode or anything similar.
Thanks for the reply.

Ah CM.... Sorry mate you'll have to go back to a stock based ROM if you want that. CM doesn't fully support the keyboard dock I guess?
