Keyboard Dock - Randomly Stops Working

Does anyone else that got their dock have random problems where the dock just stops working? I've had it happen a bunch this morning, right in the middle of using it and it stops responding. The tablet still works, mouse cursor is still there, just no response from the keyboard.
I'm rooted running the latest update, will probably revert to stock and see what happens.

There's already another thread going about this. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063853
The solution for now is to disable the trackpad by clicking the disable trackpad button on the keyboard. The keyboard works fine without the trackpad, but will randomly stop working when the trackpad is enabled. ASUS is already aware of the issue and is working on a solution.

[Q] Shortcut keys on dock stop working

After the last firmware update, I've noticed that occasionally, my shortcut keys on the top row of the keyboard dock will stop working. It seems to happen most often when the TF is sitting overnight and then in the morning when I try to adjust brightness or open the browser using the shortcuts, they won't respond. The rest of the keyboard operates normally, with the exception of the top row.
In order to get the top row working again, I have to reboot.
Has anyone else experienced this?

My shortcut keys have worked every time for mine on all 3 firmware versions up to .13

I never had this happen on .12, but this happens regularly with .13 for me.

This also happens to me on .13, the Audio and music keys still work but Wifi through Settings keys stop working until a reboot.

How about the touch pad?
Not to hijack this thread but lately I have experienced that my touch pad is not working after I close the transformer. A reboot rectifies the issue but it's annoying. Do you think this is a related problem?

Will your trackpad shortcut key turn the trackpad back on when this happens?

Nope but the on-screen display works; all special shortcut keys actually work. It's only the touch pad that won't cooperate. It seems to happen whenever the screen goes to sleep
I am surprised by this problem. I've been using the dock for weeks now without trouble. I installed PRIME 1.3 when it was released and never had trouble with anything. Is it possible that an app can cause this disruption?

[Q] keyboard problem

I have noticed that when using the dock keyboard to input text, the cursor will at times (actually, quite frequently) jump to a different location and continue to input text.
It's as if during the typing, the pointer clicked somewhere else to redirect the current cursor position.
Someone had a similar experience? Running latest ASUS upgrades...

I had the same problem until I noticed my one of my thumbs would contact the mouse pad. Now if I do any typing I disable the mouse pad using the key fourth from the top left hand side. Hope that helps.

Same here! The touch pad is very sensitive and I tend to turn it off as well.

OK, I will try this out - so far so good, but since it seemed tobe a "random" problem, I will do as you say and hope for the best!

touchpad wakes screen in MD Battery save mode

Hi
I'm new to the forum. I'm also new to Android. So I guess I'm a newbie noob!
I'm not intending this to be a question otherwise I would have posted it in the Q&A. This is an excellent forum and I don't wish to break the rules so my apologies if I have posted in the wrong place.
I have recently bought an asus Transformer TF101 and have been going through it's various settings including the MobileDock Battery saving Mode. Now, of course, the screen does not wake by pressing a key. However, quite by accident, I have found that it does wake by double tapping the touch pad with two fingers or tapping the touchpad and then the space bar in quick succession. Also one or two swipes on the touchpad wakes it aswell.
Just wondered if anyone else had noticed this. The MobileDock is a B70, version is EP101-0213.
Regards

Nope, my 8.6.5.19 TF101 (dock version ep101-0213) does not wake up on any action on touchpad if MobileDock saving is checked.... Y'r maybe lucky man

Previously, everything woke mine up, but then I sent it back for the deep sleep problem. Now mine wakes up to any touchpad activity. Baby steps?
I'm still not sure if I should send it back again. I never really payed enough attention to see whether or not the repairs made any difference.

wow that makes things easier than hiting the power button works on mine with the dubble tap on the trackpad

sweeeeeeet!

sweeeeet! Maybe you could hit my THANKS button!
I've double posted somehow. there seems to be a severe keyboard lag when using this message box

Just tried mine a double tap on the track pad will wake it up

You can disable the touchpad first. Afterwards, it will no wake up the tablet. This works for mine.

Holy crap, now I know why my Transformer "randomly" turns on when I grab it to move it somewhere.This is actually a nice feature I hadn't realised existed..

I think my dock may still be using a fair bit of power in standby. Disabling the touchpad may cure that. Does anyone else have real problems typing in the message box? i'm having real problems with sporadic delay.

[Q] Can someone on Stock ICS try this?

If you have a TF101 and a dock, with Stock ICS, can you please tell me:
when docked:
1. does clicking the mouse wake your tablet from sleep?
2. does moving the touchpad wake your tablet from sleep?
3. does anything else wake up your tablet, besides opening it up, and the power button?
Thanks, I'm trying to figure out if my dock is normal, or if it has a bad I/O, and I'd rather not have to flash the stock rom just to find out, it's a pain if you're just going to use it for 5 minutes.

touching the mouse pad does wake up mine...

Touching the pad does wake up the screen. Clicking the mouse button also wakes up the screen for me too.

Yes, touching the mousepad / moving mouse cursor / pressing left (only left, not right) button under mousepad wakes my TF up. But that's about it, besides this and power button nothing else does that.

all right, thanks everyone, I guess it sounds like my dock is normal then. (somebody on here told me I might have a bad I/O on my dock and might need to RMA it, but I guess mine is fine)
