Hello, It seems now the touchpad on the dock stopped working. It was fine before the latest update. While its booting up it works then goes away after everything is loaded. I can plug in my usb mouse and it still works. I have shut down and restarted several times with and without the doc. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Sorry for the stupid question, but are you sure it's enabled (the key above the "3" key on the dock will enable/disable the trackpad).

You're correct it was disabled. Thanks for the help I didn't realize there was a key to disable it. Thanks again.

THANK YOU BOTH. I had done the same thing and was afraid that something was seriously wrong with the dock. I also admire you both for being so courteous to one another. A rare thing online these days. Actually, a rare thing in person these days, too. :good:

Got my Infinity yesterday - loving it so far. I was worried after all the negativity on the forums over the last few weeks, but I couldn't be happier.
My one issue is with the brightness of the screen. I know some people have taken issue with the auto-dimming feature. I have the complete opposite problem - I can't adjust the brightness of my screen! Moving from balanced to power saving to performance makes no difference. Turning on Super IPS? No difference.
Am I doing something bone-headed? Anyone else have this problem?

Just tried a factory reset - made no difference whatsoever. No matter what setting I choose for screen brightness, it never changes....
Any ideas? Should I just return it?

It appears that there is a issue, if you reset the tablet and its the same you should exchange it. Try the small reset hole also.

It's very strange - the screen itself is beautiful and responsive to touch. It's just it appears the brightness cannot be altered!

No. I can move the slider up and down the scale, but it doesn't have any effect on the brightness. Very strange.

Anyone got any ideas? I can return it to Amazon fairly painlessly, but it's a shame as otherwise it's a great bit of kit.
Grateful for any additional thoughts people might have.

Your issue more than likely will not be solved on the forums anytime soon. Amazon is very good at exchanging defective items usually shipping it the next day. Your stressing over this to much, and you don't have to. It cost you nothing to exchange the tablet.

Same thing
Just wanted to let you know I'm having the same problem. I've tried a factory restore as well still no brightness control. Thing that sucks is I returned my prime for a screen defect, now I get a faulty infinity. I'm beginning to question asus quality at this point and starting to think about perhaps getting a Google nexus 7 even with its limitations.

Isnt Asus building the GN7 also?
Either way, defects will happen. Send it to back and Amazon will make it right -- it's worth the two days. I've had none of the problems that people are describing with their Infinitys
Good point cinco5 ugh. I forgot they manufactured it. They are at 2strikes, I guess I'll give them 3.

+1 for this - I've been looking for something like this since I bought my original TF101. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find anything (I did try, believe me).
I know it can be done, because the Jump Desktop app disables the tap-to-click feature. I even went as far as asking the Jump Desktop people to write/sell an app that does just that (but everywhere in Android) - however, they were not interested...
Anyone have any ideas?? It would be nice to leave the trackpad enabled at times instead of having to constantly disable/re-enable it (yes, I know there is a dedicated key for that on the keyboard dock).

The solution for the prime was a custom kernel that disabled it, but that required having a custom recovery. Seems like we have to wait a bit. Still searching though!

Well, we do have custom recovery now (TWRP), and custom ROMs are in progress, so hopefully we'll get that soon too! Would be great...

Anybody else notice the button to launch the browser will only launch the stock browser? I have the stock browser disabled and use Chrome as my default browser so that button does nothing for me. No big deal, but the real fail is the location of the button to lock the screen! I keep hitting it when I reach for the backspace key. I'm sure as I get used to the keyboard size I will be making fewer typing errors and I will get used to it, but locking the screen every time you overshoot the backspace key is kinda lame.

Would you really label the keyboard as a fail just because of this? I have never hit the lock screen by accident. There is a lot to get used to, coming from a pc keyboard (and android on-screen keyboard) but it's great to have all these feature keys. I really love the keyboard dock...leave it docked at all times.
Yeah, after owning the dock, I wouldn't want to go back to using a tablet without this extra functionality.
Misleading titles annoy me.
Edit: Here is a link for the Dock browser button hack. (Root required to mod certain files) I haven't tried it myself but it should still work for those that have the original TF201 dock. This will allow you to change what browser is launched instead of the native browser.

Now as for your issue with having the lock button on the upper right corner... Good luck with that. Its not a flaw from the device. Its more human error. Adapt evolve... You can do it!!! Haha. I for one love the Dock! Quite the opposite from what your title insinuates.

Yeah I really would never own a tablet without a dock after this. People's faces when I show them my "netbook" is actually a tablet is priceless. Keyboard FTW!

How is the title misleading? It wasn't intended to be misleading. And even if it is misleading your inflammatory comment is just as annoying. Thanks for the link though, I will look at it for sure.
And whether or not it is human error isn't the point. I know it is human error and I have already adapted to the size of the keyboard. I can proudly say I haven't hit the lock key since I posted this thread. I just wish they would have put a different button in that spot.
Edit: Changed the title of the thread to be more clear.

People ask, "Is that a netbook?" I tell them no, it's an android tablet and pull the screen from the dock. So far this has resulted in oohs, ahhs, and wows. Kinda funny.

You'd really call THAT an ''inflammatory comment''? Oh boy....
OT: I've hit the Sleep button numerous times, and keep hitting it since I go back and forth between my (primarily gaming) desktop at home, the desktops at work and my TF700. It is getting a bit infrequent, but every time I hit it still is a sigh moment. And I keep missing letters like the "a" and "o", and I kee hitting ";" instead of " ' "... but hey, that's clearly my fault.
My wife is a touch typer (or 10-finger blind, or whatever it is called in English ) and she won't even use the hard keyboard because it doesn't provide the feedback she needs, or something like that. Maybe you have primarily the touch typists' aproach, while people like me (who have to look at the keyboard anyway) have less trouble?

I don't look at the keyboard when I'm typing. I got used to this one fairly quickly. I just had to learn the smaller keys and layout. And I definitely know what you mean by a sigh moment.

does anyone else have the same issue as me that the tab key on keyboard doc does not tab fields it just advances the cursor by a couple spaces?
best example is when using the google spreadsheet app, tab does not go from field to field like you would expect. Other times would be when something is looking for a username and password. tab does not advance you to the password field

Hi there,
It's about time I root my infinity but before I do I just want to check up on some issues to see if it's warranty or just an annoyance I'll have to live with...
Whenever my keyboard is out of battery while the tablet is not, my tablet seems to turn off while not being actively used. Is the the way it's supposed to work, or at least the way it works for everyone?
Thank you for reading!

Yep, if you mean turns the screen off. You can set the time out under display settings. No, if you mean completely shuts the tab down.

Try disconnecting and then forgetting it. Cold-boot the tablet, and then re-pair.
