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.

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?

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

If you are rooted in the app store they have a lot of apps look for reboot shutdown widgets.

There are a lot of apps for putting the tablet in sleep mode or to turn of the screen. I want the tablet to shutdown with 1 click.

Well that's strange its working fine on my end and its not like you have a different device then I. The app does what your looking for. It doesn't shut off the screen, it turns the tablet off with just one click. If you mean by many from the reviews its all coming from different devices. Are you granting it permission when it pops up?
Can someone else who is rooted install Quick Shutdown for me please and let me know if its working.

Roger, my pleasure. I like apps like these for I do fear that my children's needs will preclude any device upgrade for a while, so I don't want to exhaust the power button ; ) Just kidding -- well, at least about the button part :S -- I hardly ever shut down the device.
I tested Quick Shutdown, however, and indeed it first asks for root permission; after granting that, shutdown is pretty much instant. I'm on CM10 Unofficial (and therefore, by implication, rooted and unlocked).
Thanks for the heads up, jjdevega -- I'll keep it on the 700 for when I'm lazy.
Why install another app? Open a superuser terminal and type poweroff.
Takes <3 seconds from the time I open terminal until powered down.

No, but OTA root keeper got it back. First thing I noticed was that the HDMI output options are gone. Not "reduced" but completely gone. Freaking awesome. I actually used those.

Man, that is some enthusiasim right there! I just stumbled upon a workaround. If you reboot the device while HDMI is connected, the system will start in stretched mode. Just DO NOT navigate to the HDMI options menu on the settings screen and it will stay stretched. The moment you go look for HTMI options it switches to cropped and the only way back is another reboot.
I knew about the work around, but yes, it really is that critical, i just showed 50 users how to use it after the update have us those new menu options!

Ouch, that is gonna leave a mark then. I actually wasn't sure about the workaround... I've noticed various system settings that seem to "change" after a reboot such as performance mode and screen saver settings. Wasn't sure if this would stick with the new update or not. Also don't know how consistent it is.
Personally I'd love to see the options come back with a change to the stretched behavior. When displaying the entire screen to HDMI out there is absolutely NO reason for the Android status bar to be twice the normal height. Wasted freaking space.
I read somewhere that the option shows up only when you're connected to an HDMI source .. perhaps have it connected, then go into settings and look below ASUS customized setting ?
Ah here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32932493&postcount=72
It will show up between "ASUS customized settings" and "Power Saver" when you have an external display connected.

Got it back with OTARootKeeper. My first impressions are:
mediaserver is still crashing when the camera is supposed to render video off screen
system bar lock got an extra option: show system information (or at least I can't remember seeing in there before)
detailed release notes from ASUS on what was fixed/changed would be nice
I am rooted on stock and after ota didn't lose my root, was just there as before

Hey there,
Just curious if anyone else sees this problem? And if there's a known reason or fix? Pretty much like the topic name says.... sometimes tapping the clock just does nothing, no matter how deliberately I tap or hold it. I know it isn't hardware because when I rotate into the other other orientation, that portion of the screen that was just the clock now responds fine to touch. A reboot will fix. Thoughts?
EDIT: Should have mentioned - bone stock, unrooted, locked etc. Havent gotten up to any tinkering with this thing, too many bad hardware reports to invalidate warranty lol. Though my hardware seems good so far...
Thanks...

I prefer the ASUS quick setting to stock Android notification, but I don't think I have any problem with them. Have you try cold booting your tablet? Shut down and press power+volume down?
I know you said it's not hardware, yet that sounds like a digitizer problem.
I get this from time to time - I even got it once last night, after flashing CleanRom 2.3... which was a little disappointing.
I've found that if I get a notification of some kind - say, an email being received - it clears this bug and I can then tap on the clock to bring up the quick settings menu and it will work fine from then on. It's only after a reboot that the bug reappears, but then not every time.

Yes. I get the issue since I believe JB update. One work around that worked for me is open setting from setting icon, which I have on one of home menu. Some how after that it works again. So I agree it is definitely not related to hardware.
Hi,
Yes, this happens randomly with my tablet too. Likewise, only since JB.
As noted above a notification does seem to make the issue go away. I have tried all sorts to find the cause but always come up blank. Rebooting also removes the problem.

I suffer from this as well.
Yeah, notifications seem to fix it. Glad I'm not the only one... I guess. Really is annoying as hell to not have quick access to brightness settings and stuff. Funny, I didn't know the cold boot required the volume button trick, I thought just a normal shut down / restart did that. Thanks for the tip, I'll do it regularly lol.

Sorry all, but I don't have this issue on my rooted, locked .18 JB. It works very well indeed.
I also have this problem. The only way I can fixitisjust a shutdownand restart. Can be annoying.
Same here... Started after the JB update... One quick fix for me is to plug in my ear-buds and the QSP pops up.. If you don't want to carry around your ear-buds, if you have a pair that you don't use anymore or a damaged pair, you can cut the tip off and carry it around in your case/cover..

Thanks! I've been lurking in the forums waiting for this. I'm just divided as to whether I should wait and see how it goes for others, or just download the update and see for myself. Not because I'm afraid of bricking (locked & unrooted here) but because 4.2 did have some issues initially on other platforms...
Anyhoo - thanks ASUS!

I don't think you should be fearing that much about bricking your device. There are a few unlucky people brick their devices every time there's an update.
I wouldn't flash the update on an unlocked device. That is how some TF300 users bricked their devices. Wait for Asus to put up the full rom.
I'm just going to wait. Mainly because a lot of apps aren't 4.2 optimized yet. I'm not afraid of bricking since i'm full stock, but I always have bad luck with updates of all sort.

How is the 4.2 running compares to 4.1? faster, smoother, no change??
I've noticed the "recent apps" function has changed. Instead of a vertical row on the left side of the tablet, you now get a full screen, horizontal look, of your recent apps. Will take some time getting use too.
On the cold boot screen. I believe you now how to manually start the cold boot (by highlighting the android icon) then pressing up on your volume key.
Lastly, I get an annoying warning about my sound being dangerous if to high, when I try to raise the volume. Anyway to disable that?

I got a notice that the system update was downloading, I waited then got a screen that said do I want to install, I tapped "install" and the screen said "Powering Off". Its been off for about 20 minutes and won't restart.
Any thoughts?
On edit,
Now its restarted and it's downloading the system update file again.
Its doing the same thing, checked system integrity and then powering off but this time it looks like 4.2 is installing.
One minor thing I've noticed is that the inexpensive 3rd party charger I bought off Amazon now no longer registers as charging (although my 3rd party battery app does, indeed, show that the unit is charging). That's an annoyance, albeit minor.
Unless the new tablet version is extremely different than the phone version, Asus is no longer using the stock camera app. So no photosphere.
Also, no quick camera access from the lock screen, not that I'm using the tablet often to take quick pictures.
