you probably disabled the trackpad on the keyboard. Look for the button on the dock that enables it again.
On the keyboard: Top row, 4th button from the left. Has an image of the touchpad with a / through it printed on it. Hit that.
Yeah I disable it when I'm typing on the dock for an extended period of time. Helps to not have my wrist causing the cursor to jump around in a document as there isn't any wrist detection of the touchpad to ignore it.
Lol well that's a relief I didn't even know there was a button to disable it ago I feel dumb but thanks guys

Does anyone with Froyo know if there is a new timeout adjustment for the bottom button lights? I cannot believe that this would not be fixed. It's the single most annoying thing about the phone. Even aside from the problem of the lights going out after like 3 seconds, they don't even light up when you hit the power button to wake up the phone! How dumb is that? My GPS is fine. I want a button light fix!

Unfortunately not.
Haven't you gotten used to it by now? It was annoying for me for the first week. Now, I could press any of those keys with my eyes closed.

Have you tried looking in various settings databases on the device itself?

Yeah, I know where the buttons are without looking, but if you hit them with the tip of your finger, you have to hit them right in the center. In the dark, I end up missing 1 in 4 times. If they were lit up like it should be, I'd never miss them. Since those buttons are used so much, it's just ridiculous that they aren't lit up the same time as the screen, or at least have a setting for them. To me, it's the worst design flaw of the phone, and actually, for me, it's really the only flaw. Since it wasn't fixed, I'm guessing the lights aren't tied to the OS. Maybe it's tied directly to the hardware, which would really suck.

I looked through all of the settings. I don't have Froyo, but climber1872000 said there's no setting for it.
Does anybody encounter any freezing on the keyboard dock for their Transformer? I just got my keyboard dock today, and every time I hook up the tablet to the keyboard dock, the mouse pad works for some time and then completely freezes. I can confirm that the tablet is properly connected, because I can hear the firm 'click' of the button, and it goes from being in the unlocked to locked position. Do you think it might be an issue with charging? Does the dock need to be charged fully? Or can the dock function on the tablet's battery? Or is it just a plain ol' bug that needs to be ironed out by Asus?
Any help/advice would be appreciated!

My software is indeed up-to-date as of yesterday, to the latest 8.2.3.9 firmware. Considering that others are also having this same issue here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063853), it looks like a software bug to me, and a really annoying one at that. It essentially renders the keyboard useless after a minute or so.
Asus, please help!

a workaround for now is to disable the trackpad for now until asus fixes the keyboard firmware

The trackpad disable key is the 4th button from the left on the top row of the keyboard. It looks like a little trackpad with a diagonal line through it.

The dock freezes even after disabling the trackpad, which makes me think that its not an issue with the trackpad, but the dock itself. Nothing a firmware update cannot fix I hope, and soon. Come on Asus!

I know, I have already checked out your thread on this topic. I am merely replying as a means to follow up on my post rather than abandon it.
So ASUS latest limited push firmware and mobiledock update seems to have fixed all the issues with the keyboard dock. Now I have to ask is there a way to "flip" the default trackpad two finger responses? it seems backwards to me the dragging down on the trackpad moves the screen up and dragging right causes te screen to go left, exact opposite of what these motions would cause when performed on the screen itself.
EDIT - actually up and down behaves correctly. For me, left/right doenst' scroll...
-mark
Should have my dock tomorrow... Was this an OTA update? When was it released?

How is it the opposite? Dragging down makes the screen go up for example. so I wouldn't say it's the opposite.
Good to hear about the update though. Hopefully in the UK it will come preinstalled, still waiting for them to be shipped.

on my stock dock dragging down for up (just like doing on the touch screen) is fine, but dragging right to left should go to the right screen but instead goes to the left. could be laucherpro causing this maybe? i haven't used the stock launcher at all on the tf as i really didn't like it on the xoom.
I haven't gotten any push update. I have the transformer and the dock.
Strange.

It is not out yet. The developer that created the update has sent it to a few people for testing. Is in Beta and has bricked at least one dock. But for most people it seems to fix wifi connectivity, freezes and other doc related issues.
The OTA update should occur soon.
Thank goodness. My trackpad is dead. It worked when I first hooked up the dock, hasn't worked for about a day. Fail Asus.

Don't feel bad, the same thing happened to me the first day. In fact, I'd posted that my trackpad had stopped working in the first half hour, but now I realize I'd probably turned it off. My dock has been simply flawless.

on the screen if you place your finger at the top and drag down the screen follows your finger, if you push up again it follows your finger and goes up, same with left and right, however if you use the two finger gesture on the trackpad starting from the top and pulling down causes the screen to scroll up, bottom to top causes the screen to scroll down, moving left causes the screen to go right, moving right goes left just the opposite from what would happen if you put your fingers on the screen itself.
Strange, it's fine on my stock firmware tablet and dock, two finger swipe down pages down, up does up, left goes left and right goes right. Ah, I see the misnomer. When you're using 2 finger scrolling, think of your fingers as a cursor and all will be clear. Moving the fingers right moves the cursor right which causes the screen to go left (in order to see the right side of the screen).
TBH, I kind of like it the way it is. It should be something you can change though, in the settings menu. I really want the trackpad to do pinch to zoom though >_<
I can't get the Key Dock to lock the tablet in place. When I slide the tablet into the key dock, it clicks audibly. I can, however, just slide the tablet right back out without so much as touching the lock slider. Can't find anything on that in the manual.
Can somebody please help me?
Edit: problem solved, please close thread, thank you. Turns out you have to slide the lock over to the right yourself, which is hard to do due to the slider not being broken in yet.

The dock should lock the tablet, so you shouldn't need to do that youreslf. Only if you want to take it out you need to touch the slider. At least that was the case with the Prime, which makes much more sense..
That's what I l thought, too. It doesn't lock by itself, though. Might have gotten a defective unit. Oh well, doesn't really bother me. Let's just hope I never ever forget to lock the pad lol

When I put the tablet in the dock, it clicks just fine and can only be removed when sliding the lock to the right. Might've been a defective one indeed. Best to go to the store and replace it with a good one while u can.
My TF101 is running KatKiss 4.4.4_035. When I plug in the dock (physical keyboard) only the mouse keys and mouse pad work, none of the keys on the keyboard do anything. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the entire keyboard working?
Never mind. I spent more time trying to figure this out, and discovered that it is a hardware issue. The dock keyboard works only when the screen is tilted in the dock at certain angles. Unfortunately for me, those angles are when the screen is more closed than open.

Sounds like a connection issue between tablet and dock, might be worth checking inside each sides port/socket for any obvious problem
Might be something simple that can just be pushed back together
My keyboard has a similar problem. Altought in my case only some keys don't respond correctly. I think this might be a kernel problem.
