How to force update the dock - Asus Transformer TF700

I bought the Prime dock.
When I first plugged it in, I received a notification for an update but couldn't update at the time.
The update notification simply will not show again.
I've plugged and unplugged, switched off my tablet switched on and connected it again, Force Stop the update app and tried again, no luck.
How to force the tablet to fetch the update again?

Transformer random reseting

My transformer has been resetting on its own and randomly. Its stock with the newest update and not rooted.
I also have mad issues with the deep sleep. Have not been able to narrow down the problem. Hardware?
Anyone else getting the same problem?
Try doing a full factory reset, Settings -> Privacy -> Factory Data Reset. Do not forget to backup your data first.

Yesterday I had the transformer sitting in sleep mode next to me while I was doing some work on the desktop and saw the ASUS start up logo come on the Transformer. I have only had this tablet for six days, but this is the first restart on it's own that I have observed. I also have had three episodes of the deep sleep issue.
Edit: Right after I posted this, I looked down and the ASUS logo had appeared again from sleep mode. Go figure...
I've seen this on my 32gb unit. I'd be doing something and turn away a moment, when I looked back I would see the Asus boot logo. It's sneaky though and I have yet to catch it in the act at the exact moment of reboot. The deep sleep lockup has happened a few times as well.

Manually update dock firmware

Hi,
sorry for opening a new thread with yet another question about firmware, but i can't find any discussions on this matter.
Yesterday, i was going to my friends place and i "docked" a tablet, put it in a sleeve, before i went there.
When i came there and opened a pad, i had a notification about dock firmware. Pressed it. An "app" opened and there was a message it needs to download some files and that it should take about a minute to do so. I didn't had a WiFi connection so I ( don't really know what exactly) dismissed it and did some work on other things.
Well, later on, when i connected to WiFi I wanted to run dock firmware update again, but i can't find this thing anymore.
I reattached dock, but i have no new notifications. Also tried about tablet > system updates, but there is nothing there or be found by the checker, as i think it only checks for tablet firmware.
So, obvious question: how can i force a new update on a dock, where can i find it to update it manually ... or do i just need to wait for the next time it is recognized again and update it than?
Thanks, and sorry again...
It seems like attaching the dock might have something to do with the dock update notification becoming available. Maybe you can try forcing the update by turning the tablet off, undocking it, turning it back on, then redock it? It might just be initially in a state where it won't ask until it "finds" the dock and that when its turned on with the dock already attached, its state doesn't trigger the update. Just something to try. Otherwise, you'll just have to wait until it decides that the update is ready to be applied again.
In regards to specifically updating dock firmware, I think that us having to wait for the notification is really unfortunate. The firmware cannot be downloaded from the ASUS website, there is a huge lack of discussion involving keyboard updates on da web, and I haven't really seen any other way to update it than via the notifications. That makes me .
Tried many things but the update doesn't come back.
Seems like it is done on schedule or something...once per month or something.
My TF201 Dock Keyboard was at revision 206. Upon inserting my TF700T for the first time into the TF201 Dock Keyboard there was an update automatically applied to my Dock Keyboard which brought it up to revision 207. From that time going forward I have not gotten any notification of another Dock Keyboard revision update.

Huh, I'm on 0207 myself. Maybe its the most recent version of the firmware? Dunno.
I didn't get the update immediately. It showed up after a few days. That being said, it updated to 0207 so it looks like you're on the latest version =)
I think somebody mentioned in another thread getting an update notification while being on .207, updating and still seeing it being .207, some weird stuff happening. ;>

That is weird indeed.

Why does Google Maps act so busted on the Infinity at times?

I'm noticing that I have to restart my tablet often when I want to use Google Maps otherwise the app will force close on me back to the home screen when I launch it.
I know I can't be the only one experiencing this issue.

You would probably get more responses in the Infinity forum, which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1661
Personally, I haven't had any issues with Maps force closing (or any apps FCing, really). Is Maps updated to the latest version? If so, try wiping the apps data and cache under Settings > Apps > Maps and see if that helps.

Here is how I have solved it on mine for the time being.
1. Clear cache, data and uninstall updates from apps
2. Shut down infinity and restart holding down volume down and power to instigate a cold boot (clears cache)
3. You can try maps if you want but I then installed the upgrades from the market and it has worked fine since.
My Google maps is also very much broken and crashes all the time... Very annoying.

From what I've read, the Maps issue is mostly due to the well-known "OpenGL Out Of Memory" issue, which exists on all of Asus' ICS releases (even on the TF101). This "bug" causes all sorts of instability in a lot of apps including Maps and Gmail. Any time you start having issues, just open a terminal window and type this to see if that is your problem:
logcat -d|grep -i opengl
Usually, you'll see the OpenGL out of memory errors...
Unfortunately, other that waiting for the Jelly Bean update (which, from my understanding, *does* fix this issue), there really isn't much you can do other than rebooting the device - that will get rid of the problem for a few days until it comes back.... It's a really bad bug that Asus never addressed in ICS, for whatever reason...

[Q] Random reboots after 9.4.5.30 update

Hi
I don't know why I start getting random reboots after the 9.4.5.30 update, does anyone have similar issue? Is it a way to check what causes the reboot?
Thank you
No reboots but seems that I can't play any games anymore. They crash almost immediately

Aarrghhhh!!! I can confirm this.
After updating to .30 "Virtua Tennis" and "Fishing Superstars" are crashing randomly. Oh no...that's bad, ASUS!
I had the same issue with reboots after updating to the .30 update. I did a factory rest through the stock bootloader and haven't had it happen since.

Thanks for the hint. Factory reset currently in progress... :fingers-crossed:
EDIT:
Didn't solved the problem. I wiped the device three times but still the same issue:
e.g. in "Fishing Superstars" there are two different things:
the app closes randomly (back to home screen). The app is still listed in the task list.
the screen flashes with the last image displayed. The sound is still playing and the game is still running (different sounds). Moving to homescreen and go back via task list restarts the app.
No1. also occurs in "Need for Speed: Hot Persuit" and "Virtua Tennis".
Looks like that the problem only occurs when the game graphics significantly changes...
But I didn't had the problems BEFORE updating to .30.
I don't like these kind of "stability fixes". Any ideas?

Google Keyboard has stopped (Docked)

Hey folks - used my dock for the first time in a long time, and it seems that since the latest Google Keyboard update, I get "Unfortunately, Google Keyboard has stopped" every 30 seconds or so in any app. I'm running the latest Cromi-X (5.1 I believe). Anyone else seeing this behaviour? I think it's related to the keyboard dock... switching keyboard defaults and clearing data doesn't seem to do anything...
Thanks in advance!

I *just* went thru the same problem.
Go to Settings -> Apps, find Google Keyboard, and clear BOTH cache and app data.
Do the same for Dictionary Provider. I then rebooted, not sure that's necessary.
Fixed it for me.
