A question that is on my mind is say you are traveling and your Transformer is about 50% charged and your keyboard dock is less than 50% charged. So you are using your transformer docked into the keyboard, so the keyboard starts charging the Transformer in case you want to un-dock it and use it on the go. Now say the keyboard drains its batter to charge the actual Transformer.....does the keyboard stop working so that you need to undock the transformer and use it that way until you can recharge the keyboard?
It was a thought I had in my head that I don't know if anyone with the tablet and keyboard had tested out yet.
I'm fairly certain that the tablet can use the dock even if the dock's battery is empty. Remember reading it somewhere, but can't find the link at the moment...

When my infinity is docked and sleep for a long period of time (hours) I'll sometimes find the tablet had turned off, and needs to be powered back on.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I know it's not running out of battery.

i think i found the culprit. while the pad is docked in my laptop bag, the power button is being pressed as it weighs down onto the bottom of the bag.

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).
today i noticed that my tablet wasn't charging when the dock was attached (tried reattatching rebooting nothing helps) my tablet is currently on 71 and the dock on 99 right now i am typing on the keyboard! everything works except charging can somebody clear this out? is there a specific level the tablet starts charging?
when i plug in the charger to the dock the tablet charges fine but the dock battery LED is not blinking!
thanks,

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!
