Hey guys,
my idea was to put a neodym magnet in my Transformer case so my transformer goes into standby when closing the case. I also own a keyboard dock and if i close it the transformer goes into sleep mode. I tested it with some neodym magnets i own and it didn't work! It only works if my Transformer is docked to the keyboard (but still open)! So i assume it has to be a software related thing. Do you think it's possible to simulate a "dock mode" always. Maybe with tasker?! It would be a ice addon for all the cases out there and it is very cheap (i think i have paid 1€ for 10 neodym magnets). What do you think about it?
greetings
as the topic says. i bought a specific made accessory for the tf700t and i was looking at the box the dock came in and it sayd model:tf201 dock? is this correct?

Alot of people have been receiving tf201 docks. You can send it back and request a dock specific to the tf700 or use the one they sent. The 201 dock does work with the tf700. If you paid full price though then i would ask for a prorate of the tf201 dock.

Its the same dock. Mine came as a tf201 dock with a tf701 sticker on it.
I would keep it and enjoy.

Internally they are identical, software sees all docks as 201, however! The 700 dock should snugly and correctly fit the infinity. If the hinge part is rounded and doesnt seem to fit the infinity properly then the dock is a prime dock and i'd ask for a dock specifically made for the infinity. Anyone can pop a sticker on there, and reguardless it will work just fine. My only concern is that the screen may break because of excess pressure because the hinge doesnt fit just right. YMMV

My TF201 dock fits perfectly to my TF700 tablet.
And yes - it is a TF201 dock, as I got it when I bought my TF201 Prime and kept it when I upgraded to TF700...
I had a TF201 tablet for which I bought a keyboard dock back in the day. When I purchased my current tablet the TF700T the first thing I did after charging the tablet up, turning it on and letting it find my home network and update my Google stuff is to shut it down. Then I placed it into my TF201's dock keyboard that was fully charged. The tablet turned on by itself and did an update to my dock keyboard from revision 206 to 207. When the update was completed it finished booting and recognized it was docked and all was good. My dock keyboard fits perfectly with my TF700T tablet in the hinge area and also the locking assembly has a solid click sound during the insertion as well as the locking slide locking solidly to the tablet by sliding all of the way to the right in the slide slot.
When I bought mine the box clearly had a TF700 ticket over top what said something else. When I opened it up the sticker on the bottom of the dock clearly states TF201. That said, it fits just fine. I don't see a reason to make it an issue, I got a decent discount at Best Buy on it anyway, just for asking.

Just ordered a champagne dock for the 201, it says its compatible with the TF700 from Tigerdirect.com for $110.00 plus shipping.... Ill find out if they ship 201 docks that perfect fit with the infinity.

Can you elaborate on "not fitting correctly"? I have a tf201 dock and the lock snaps correctly into place after you insert the pad in the dock. It does take a small ammount of force to do so. It's not much but it isn't just drop in and play either.

The edges on the tf201 and tf700 have a different profile so the hinge on the tf201 dock does not follow the contour perfectly. For some it doesn't seem to be an issue but others it is. As for me I bought a tf201 dock for my tf700 and the tablet will NOT lock into the dock. It's annoying but I've dealt with it since the release but I have a feeling I will eventually have a mishap and it will fall out.

Just received my TF201 dock from tigerdirect.com and it locks into place much like the prime. I tested both the infinity and the prime and takes the same amount of pressure to lock into place. It the dock was already updated to 207. Im happy with it and didnt pay an extra 50 dollars for a sticker.

If you check the engadget review then it says that the TF201 (prime) dock will fit the infinity, but not only will it fit, the prime dock has a larger battery (22Wh vs 19Wh for the infinity). If there's a marginal difference between the edges then I'd gladly sacrifice that for ~16% battery life increase.
Someone did a teardown of both docks and they had the exact same battery...

Don't let manufacturers confuse you with battery numbers. They are giving them in Watt/Hours. The Infinity draws more current than the TF201 so it operates for a shorter time. P = I * E

22Wh is still more than 19Wh
22Wh means it'll last for 22 hours if something has a powerconsumption og 1 Watt per hour. If the infinity uses more power than the prime it will still get more out of a 22Wh battery than from a 19Wh battery.
After all, the battery time can be described with the following statement:
battery life = Watt hours / power consumption
Though, if someone broke down both dockings and found the same battery then the information from engadget is false, and I won't argue with that.
Correct - the batteries between the two docks are exactly the same - CraftyHack even posted pictures to prove it...

I just returned my prime to visions today and they ordered me an infinity + infinity dock... I got my keyboard from a diff store and haven't returned that yet. so I shouldn't return it and just get my money back when the keyboard gets here!?!?!
I paid 130 or so for the prime dock from bestbuy and it'd only be $20 that I'm missing out on now cause I paid $150 for the infinity dock
this is ****ed :/
I'm hearing conflicting reports about this. Is the TF201 Dock compatible with the Infinity or not? I currently have mine docked to the infinity and it seems to work just fine. At first, when i docked my Infinity to it, it didn't lock automatically when i inserted it like it did when docked to the TF201. Now I have to manually slide the lock button over to the lock position but it does lock. My concern is I'm seeing some people posting that it is NOT completely compatible so I'm worried that it might put pressure on the infinity or something? Thoughts? Is it compatible or not?

I am using my Prime dock and it fits like a glove. It locks automatically and always has. I have had no need to mess with the lock button.

Good. Again, mine seems to work just fine. I just got concerned when hearing some conflicting reports that it wasn't completely compatible and I had noticed mine wasn't as smooth (in terms of locking) as before. I guess I was hoping to get reassured.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I upgraded from the Prime to Infinity and am noticing that it does not fit into the 201 dock as smoothly. It definitely feels a lot tighter, and doesn't always lock automatically as well. So far no problems though.
I use the TF201 dock as well (as it was bundled by ASUS itself) -- no issues whatsoever, locking automatically, etc. I could worry about a lot of things on the 700, but the dock is not one of 'em.
I have gotten two "TF700T" docks, on the box it looks as if they just put a new build sticker over the old one, but if you flip the dock upside down it clearly says TF201 Dock, so dont waste your money and buy a "TF700T" Dock

I've also been using the 201 dock for the Infinity since I got it, and haven't had any trouble with it fitting and locking into place. Everything seems to work just fine.

No issue here either. The TF700 fits perfectly into the my 201 dock and snaps into the dock easily.
I replaced my TF201 with a TF700 and I'm using the same dock for the 700 that I used for the 201. The 700 is definitely a little more snug and I have push a bit harder for the lock to finally stap all the way over but it works just fine.
The one disapointment I have is that when I close the tablet against the dock, I don't think the screen shuts off or perhaps some of the buttons the dock remain active. When I open it back up, there will be apps open that weren't open with it was closed and occasionally settings changed or features turned on or off. A couple of times a 'developer option' feature was activated and I thought my tablet was messed up until I realized it was developer feature I wasn't familiar with. NONE of this happened with my old TF201.
And yeah, I heard there was not difference in the 201 dock vs the 700 dock so I never bothered changing them out.
I've been using my TF201 dock since the day Best Buy exchanged my TF201 for my TF700. To date, the only differences I have noticed, that are very minor, was that initially the dock did not "lock" in correctly. After the first several days though, giving it time to expand or whatever it did, the dock now locks in perfectly fine as soon as I push the tablet into it.
Charging, works perfectly. Latching, works perfectly.
The one thing I did notice recently, is that with the new firmware update to the TF700, my dock also updated itself to DOCK-EC20N-0207. This occurred during the TF700 firmware update for the GPS, Camera, and whatever else they did.
i got the TF201 dock 2 days ago for $75 brand new at staples.
here is how i did it
bought an ebay staple coupon $25 off $75
staples has the dock for $128
bought it using the coupon which knock it down to $103
Did live chat and pricematch it to office depot which in the website it shows $99.99
They credit me $28 dollars back.
I have a TF700T and before that a TF201 with dock keyboard. The first thing I did after activating my TF700T was to connect the TF201 dock keyboard to it. No issues at all. It went through a dock keyboard upgrade from 206 to 207. I use my tablet with the dock keyboard so much during each day that I have gotten an additional TF201 dock keyboard and keep it connected to AC so its fully charged all of the time. I swap out the dock keyboards when ever the battery level gets below 20& on the dock. Both dock keyboards were updated for the .30 latest upgrade. With my tablet always at 95-100% I can take remove the dock keyboard at any time and have the full 9-10 hours of use for the tablet alone. I have to say that Asus has done a great job with this combination. The only thing they could have done better was to be up front with the knowledge that the TF201's dock keyboard will work with no issues with the new TF700, but thats just my opinion.

I get the same thing. The weather widget's settings will open, Skype may sometimes open, I've had angry birds open - they're actually registering as either clicks or screenpresses on things on the top half of the screen. I don't know if there's a difference between plugged in or not plugged in.
My TF700 dock (bought from Amazon UK) has a TF201 label on the bottom near the hinge. It has some Chinese symbols and "Eee Pad TF201 Mobile Docking, input +15V -... 1.2A 18W Made in China.
It came as a bundle in a box shrinkwrapped from the only official distributor here.
I'm kinda wondering: Is the resolution the only difference between what I have and what was released a year ago??
I put a Skinomi screen protector on my Infinity today. It does still go into the dock okay but I do now have to slide the lock button over part of the way manually. Do any of you that were complaining of this with an old TF201 dock have a screen protector or screen lift at the bottom (i.e. something that increases the width of the tablet at the bottom)?

Hello everyone.
My note 10.1 came with 5 replacement tips and a tip extraction tool. My note 8.0 came with none of these and, in fact, I am not sure that its S-pen tip can be replaced at all.
So, my questions are:
1) Will the note 8.0 s-pen tip wear as fast as the note 10.1 one did?
2) Can the note 8.0 S-pen tip be replaced?
3) Where can I find spare tips?
Thanks in advance

can't replace the nibs on the 8. you can buy an better pen though or use the pen from the gn10.1.

Yeah, noticed that with my new Note 8...silly of Samsung not to have a pen with replaceable tips. Unless they think the tip is everlasting!
the note phones are the same way. seems anything under 10.1" gets the non-replaceable nibs.
Hope s-pen is easyly replaceable, trying to get me another that is exactly for note 8.0 and fits. My s-pen tip is already showing signs of overuse.
Sent from my GT-N5100 using Tapatalk
i think you can get them for $20 from amazon.
Thanks everyone for the quick replies.
In fact, my Note 10.1 s-pen came with 2 types of nib: a soft one, which is excellent for hand writing and provides me with a great paper like feeling (but wears out quite fast) and a hard one, which is not so good but should last longer.
It is sad to know that with Note 8.0 I don't have such choice.
I know that I can still buy a spare stylus, and even a better one compared to the one that came in the box, but in that case I loose the obvious benefits of s-pen integration with system.
Sent from my GT-N5100 using Tapatalk
i'd supposed if you're skilled and brave enough you could buy 2 spare pens and swap the insides of the gn10.1 pen with the gn8. you might be able to find older gn10.1 pens cheaper since that model's been replaced.
This looks like what we need. Brown as I didn't want white for my brown GN8. I just ordered two. With shipping $18.
Use CELL6 for discount.
The tips on my Note 3 are replacable and it came with replacemebts and the tool.
The strange thing is mt Note 3 pen won't work on my Note 8, very strange as the Note 8 pen will work onthe N3
