Keyboard dock/issue/question/bug? - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is the dock supposed to do this?
Everytime I'm typing via the dockkeyboard and make a typo or have a reason to backspace, I have to initially (Sometimes several times whilst composing) press on the screen within the text input area in order to get the [Backspace] key on the dock keyboard to actually function correctly and backspace/delete so I can correctly type what I want.???
Hope this makes sense. Driving my nuts!

I know what you mean. It's been happening since jellybean

yeah its JB bug. We are waiting for a fix on several issues from ASUS

Thanks for clearing that up. I actually just got the dock after upgrading to JB so I hadnt known it any other way. Hopefully there will be a fix as it's rather annoying.

I thought I was going crazy, i'm glad you guys have the issue too.

Yea, as seems to go with my life, I always seem to do the wrong thing at the wrong time. Waited to pull the trigger on an "Open Box" special via ebay for this dock just recently and AFTER the upgrade to JB and this whole issue is making me think I had a defective one.
Such a pain in the ass having to move up and manually touch into the screen whilst typing when I want to initiate a backspace/correction.
Jeez, And I haven't even taken advantage of the built in USB or SDCard ports yet which I understand Post-JB have also caused MAJOR issue(s) such as random reboots.
Why oh why ASUS. We appreciate the speedyness of the JB upgrade but how can it go through quality control with these types of glaring issues present.
Boooooooo

Can you use your usb port on the dock? Since i updated to jb i cant use usb anymore

Try a cold reboot / factory reset, and tell us if that fixed anything.

Personally, I've yet to try this and now I'm scared. Do not want to have to do a damn factory reset. And I'm now running with Sean's Hydro JB Rom and very pleased with it other than the damn JB dock/keyboard bug I mentioned.
Update: Curiosity got the best of me so I just tried it with a USB/SD adapter via the USB port and had no issue and it recognized the DIR contents on the card just fine.

I tried factory reset and cold reboot doesnt work either tried reflash and custom rom nothing. Before jb it worked fine and the sticks are working on other devices

Oh thank goodness! I thought I was the only one.
Registered to this forum JUST to reply here. Hello all and YES I have this problem ALOT. It really niggles me because I'm a) fat fingered and b) a regular forum poster on other forums. But I'm not limited to backspace failure. Have you tried to select text lazer? Shift_arrow key used to select text but not any more.I cant use the keyboard to select text at all now. That has to be done via screen. And using the arrow keys to move amongst text has limited functionality as well. Now when I get to the end of text (like that which I am typing now) pressing down would take me to the next selectable thing on my screen (in this instance the post icon) and using the up arrow would take me out of this text box and int the 'title' box and then to the image verication wotsit. Its driving me bananas.
All this has started happening since I installed Jelly bean. There is often lag between my typing and the text appearing in screen (though notably not in this text box) and selecting text om the screen seems to have become alot harder too. I've seen myself have to touch the screen and hold down backspace for AGES just to delete a selection of text rather than use the shift_arrow keys to select text and then hit backspace to delete it all.
Is a fix for this on the way? :crying:

bumpety bump. How active is this forum?

I've my TF300 for about a month, haven't rooted/unlocked or anything with it, all has been good, until now...
The odd time while in FB I can't respond to a comment, the keyboard doesn't pop up, with or without the dock attached.
Just now my trackpad isn't working right.
Turned off/on the trackpad and for the first few seconds it worked, but then it stopped again.
Restarted still nothing, I'm on JB OTA, up until now it was working fine....anyone have similar problems?
EDIT: Just tried to reconnect the keyboard and now it`s working......

I've seen similar problems to yours dotted all over the internet. I suspect in their rush to get JB out Asus didnt iron out all the problems. My Asus was brand new in July and now its riddled with problems.

Asus needs to turn off touchpad while typing

On most laptops the touch pad is turned off while tying. This is great for fat finger people like me who constantly hit the touch pad while typing and end up all over the page. Would love to see this option added.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
There's a button on the top row of the dock to disable the touchpad. Just push it before you start typing.
You're touching the touchpad when you type due to improper posture. The proper posture is to elevate your palm to the same level as the rest of your hand, this gives you the fastest response and decreases ergonomic issues (it gets more tiring but you'll get used to it)
And also, my hp doesn't turn off the trackpad while typing. Just fyi =P
Yeah, supposed to elevate your palm. ^^^
i've never ever seen a laptop that automatically shut off the trackpad when typing.
but yeah, just press the button. it takes a second.
Speaking as a piano player, I see bad posture all the time with both musical and electronic keyboards. The thing that ticks me off sometimes is that these people blame the hardware instead of their bad posture. It's like holding a phone upside down and then complain that the phone was built upside down so they couldn't hear what the other person was saying. Ridiculous.

Same here. I opted to adjust the sensitivity so the cursors wouldn't jump around as much.
Pretty sure it is an option to turn it off in windows since vista and Apple laptops also do it.

Its also a option here. Press the touch pad button (right above the number 3) and it wont respond
Wow... I'm seriously all for the support and discussions within forums to help others with their problems, but seriously? Before you suggest what a company should or shouldn't do, maybe you should read the manual for all the features.
Turning off the mousepad IS an option on the keyboard.

I think the op was referring to auto turning on/off when typing - well, that's how I read the subject line of their post.
I agree it should be automatically done, there wouldn't be a need to have an on/off button if it is done automatically. not everyone has perfect typing posture and some people have fatter palms than others!!
I'm pretty sure that this is option in mac and windows synaptic drivers ('palm detect' option or something... This is even achievable within linux if you mess about with xorg.conf files, do a google...

op means auto-off for the trackpad while typing...read twice please
Notebooks don't tend to turn the trackpad off. Rather, they build the ability to differentiate between palm touches and intentional touches into their trackpad software. That's what I'd love to see Asus do, because as much as I try to maintain good posture, I've run into this problem quite a bit on my Transformer.
I'm guessing that'll be resolved in a future update...

I don't think my ASUS RoG does either. Would really make playing WoW much harder.

That's because some touchpad drivers have an OPTION which you have to turn on where it will disable touchpad when typing or when a mouse is plugged in. Not one laptop that I know of would do this automatically.
Secondly, I really thing your're being picky beyond reason. I mean the Android keyboard already has every possible shortcut on it. All you have to do is hit the mousepad key and it's done!
Regards
The OP is referring to "Palm Rejection" which is a feature that the touchpad / touchscreen firmware has to support. For Synaptics, they call it SmartSense.

Which would likely get very annoying having to do it every time you stop typing and need to use the trackpad.
I honestly have had better luck anyway leaving it off. I use the keyboard for typing and my finger for navigating. It works great and i haven't used the trackpad in days.

Gyrosensor buggy?

Hi guys,
Got the tab since Saturday and testing it.
Now I got issues with the gyro.
If I try to play marble maze or use smart tools apk to measure levels the tab doesn't react correctly.
If I tilt front/back the marble/bubble goes left /right.
If I tilt left/ right the marble/ bubble goes front back.
Anyone has the idea for the issue ?
Thanks a lot

I returned my tablet for a new one due to my gyro problems.
Just to make sure, did you already try to reset your tablet via the pinhole? (It didn't for me, but that was a troubleshooting step in the manual.)

oh, thx, i will try
i don´t unpack the whole things, in case to give it back
You can try to calibrate the sensor using Advanced Tools
Go to Device->Sensor Analyzer->Accel, then put the tablet on a flat surface and hit Reset
Hi guys,
I've tried everything but it doesn't seen to work. I will gave it back, also i received today my ordered a700. This looks much better and doesn't have the sensor bug.
So thanks for trying to help me!

hi guys.
first of all im very happy with this phone, extremely fluid near the stock android experience.

hope i helped to identify the problem.

I got them too, random freezes and late responding touches
I got them too !
Here the same!
I have several late response problems on the touchscreen of Xperia XA Dual F3116. It's very easy to spot when trying to pull down the notification area or swipe a notification away. Have just updated to firmware version 33.2.B.2.35. I can't tell if I had the same problem before updating because it updated just a couple hours after I turn the thing on for the first time.
ok here after 2 weeks !
I've noticed problems on calls when it seems my ear is pressing things or activating things on the screen. Very annoying. Only had the phone a few days.
Mines f3111 model though.

primary microphone not working :/

hey! I have recently dropped my Xperia Z5 E6653 and had to get the display repaired!
now I found out that the notification led is dead (not a big deal) and nobody can hear me during a call! I tested it usng the service menu and the secondary microphone works fine but the other one does not! thats why I ordered a new one for 15 buck s and installed it myself (it is placed net to the charging port) but it still isnt working! I have already resetted the phone and downgraded to marshmallow but no succes what can cause the trouble?
Same here. Replaced my broken display. Mic not working anymore. Bought a new one but that is not working either. Anybody has an idea what's wrong?
