Hey all,
Can anybody give me the low down on the charge light on the tf dock? As in what Color light means what? I got my dock in before the pad, charging the dock now and I misplaced the manual that outlined what light color/flashing means what.

The manual that is included with the transformer explains wht each color represents.
I can try to remember what they were. If someone would be kind enough to correct me or add as needed to help the OP out that'd be great.
1. Rapidly blinking orange represents less than 10% of battery life
2. Blinking orange represents under 50%
3. Blinking green is >90% but <50%
4. Solid green represents a fully charged dock.

Thanks for the response. I remember there was a light code for less than 3% power, not sure what that is. I think solid red was for less than 10%.. I cant seem to pull the info on google.. Silly me, should have kept the manual that came with the dock. I didnt see anything in the TF manual about the light on the dock.

Has anyone had issues with their dock not holding a charge. I had my pad on the dock with the charger attached overnight. Using the tablet today, i have used it for maybe 3-4 hours total. My tablet is showing 52% charge and the light on the dock is flashing red. Doesnt seem like it is holding a charge nor is it charging the pad any longer.

I had exactly the same issue today. I just charged the dock separately and now it seems ok.
When I unplugged the charger however (because it gets very hot if you just leave it plugged in) I heard a very high pitched almost inaudible whine from the charger. I hope this is nothing.
How are you guys telling that the dock is fully charged? As mentioned above, mine just shows a red light continuously when plugged in and the tablet is fully charged. Its been plugged in about 6 hours now.

So does mine. I just assume its charged up enough after a few hours and it seems to be fine.
As requested by the OP here is the bit from the manual on lights.
"
Green ON: Battery power is between 95% and 100%
Orange ON: Battery power is less than 95%
Orange Blinking: Battery power is less than 10%
Orange Blinking quickly: Battery power is less than 3%
"
I can find no mention of Red or flashing Red in the manual at all just fyi. My hunch is the manual is wrong and you should substitute Red for Orange, but thats just a guess.
I hope you're right. I guess I'll see if it lights green in the morning

Light just went green after probably about 5 hours of dedicated charge time on the dock only. Both tab and dock first time charge. Its been plugged in for say 7 to 8 hours but with the tablet docked for the first while. Its my understanding that when set up like that the power will first charge the tablet then the dock once the tablet is full. You were correct about that light, perhaps i'm color blind.

Greater than 90% but less than 50%?
Hey all,
I just picked up a Transformer KB Dock yesterday and immediately started charging it before connecting it to my tablet. Thing is, it has been charging for literally 18 hours, and its still orange. I wanted to fully charge it before using it, as I don't imagine you can "Wipe battery stats" on the dock alone.
Getting a bit worried though because I also noticed in the manual that a Green light indicates a higher than 95% charge, but I think I would have reached it by now
Looking for some insight into whether anyone has seen a green light on their dock (maybe when charging it alone).
Really starting to lose patience as I want to try it connected for the first time!!
Thanks in advance all!
Check the connections again. The TF and dock use a gnd signal on pin 7 of the USB 3.0 connector to tell the charger to use 15VDC. If that signal is not there it will charge at 5V and take forever. If you use a USB2.0 extension or bad 3.0 cable it could cause the problem.

Sorry, should have said that I am using the original/official charger from ASUS that came with the tablet. It's direct into a UPS, and using the official USB/dock cable too. Still orange and I haven't docked the tablet yet!
Thanks for your reply Rumbleweed.

Mine did the same. The dock firmware that shipped with was old, the charge indicator was fixed in a more recent release. Mine never went green until I docked, and followed the prompt for the waiting firmware upgrade.
Then the indicators worked as it should.

Have a similar problem. The first time i charged my dock the light eventually turned green. It was flashing orange last night so I connected the dock by itself to the charger. It's been charging for almost nine hours now and the light is still not green. This is with the original charger, no extension cord. Dock firmware was updated a day after I went to 3.1.
One thing I did notice is the charger is slightly warm, no where near the scorching hot it gets when i charge the tablet by itself.
Any ideas?
Should I dock the tablet and see if that makes a difference?
edit:
ok this stinks. i decided to dock the tablet and charge both to see what happens. i unplugged the dock, attached the tablet and then the dock starts blinking orange just like it did last night before i plugged the charger in. so blinking orange light, charge 11 plus hours, still blinking orange light.
Is the indicator light supposed to stay on while it's unplugged? Mine only comes on when it's plugged in.

Mines is the same. The indicator will only show its red light when it is plugged in.

hey bros, need some help here. my eee pad says its charging but the dock orange light keep on blink and the percentage of the pattery display was 62%
is this a norm or is the dock faulty?
I just got my charger yesterday and it doesn't seem to charge properly. I put it on and it'll charge maybe 10% then stop. Take it off and put it back on the charger and it won't start charging unless I unplug the cable from the back of the orb and plug it back in. This is very inconvenient and I'm wondering if the orb just sucks or is it just mine? Please give me input if you have the official wireless charging orb.
Also I've only tried on the 2 latest releases of Paranoid android rom with their kernel as well as Faux latest one. Gonna flash something closer to stock and let it run over night and see what happens
3 pages back overnight! nuts. plus no help so up!

Forget it. Just use the standard usb cable to charge. It's a waste of $70. It's a nice accessory to have but what the heck.
Can't do it lol. Love the concept. Am I really the only one having that problem?

I dont have this issue, knock on wood. Mine charges to 99%, then slowly to 100% and then stops the LED, I turn the screen on to see the % and its charging again.
I am not sure how the LED's are displayed, does the LED off mean its done charging and is on battery now?
In either case, Once I see its at 100% and the LED is off, i remove it from the orb, it soon drops to 99%, 98% but stabilizes.
Ya I don't have that issue , mine charges to 100 then stops drops down to 98 then starts charging agn to 100... If I was u I would install factory IMG get it 100% stock and see what happens if u get same results , ID send in for warranty , i like the orb but hate how its not recognized as a charging dock, Romanbb ( aokp) is writing code to change this tho
I THINK ! Franco kernel causes a extra wake lock but not sure actually testing now with stock kernel will test Franco agn tomorrow. only issue I'm having but it works either way
Thanks for the input guys. Gonna go to stock and see what happens

Rule #1: Go back to stock.
Rule# 2: RMA it.
Ive had no issues with two phones and 3 of these chargers (one nekkid, another in a case) but everything about my setup is bone-stock.

I had the same issue until some bright person told me that the wall plug was a different ampage than the wall plug that came with the N4. 1.2 amps as opposed to 1.8. This made the difference to the problem you are having for me. What are you using in the socket?
Unfortunately the problem I am having now with this Orb (and another Qi wireless charger that I purchased as I thought the Orb was faulty) is that the N4 will turn off n the middle of the night. Not good when you are relying on the alarm clock!!!
In using the cable and plug that orb came with. Which are you using? The cable and plug that the phone came with? And that's fixed your issue except for the turning off?

I had the SAME exact thing happen! One day I thought, hey, let's switch the charging puck and see if it helps, sure enough it did, and I haven't had the problem since. So, try another puck, the one included with the Orb could be defective, like mine was.

Same thing happened to me recently. It was working, but now mine will charge about 10% and then stop. The only way to get it working again is to reset the power on it either by unplugging the plug or the usb cable. By charging puck, you mean the black plug that connects to the outlet and the other end of the usb cable?

Yeah, you probably have several lying around too, like I did, so just try one until you find one that does the trick.

Did it help?
Having the same issue when wireless charging suddenly stops.
Taking the phone from the charger and putting it back restores charging for a while.
The issue didn't happen earlier, but began from certain time
I just received my Note 4 today and everything is working OK except when I charge it the screen comes on every couple of minutes and it makes a pinging sound, no LED comes on. Is this normal and if it isn't, is there any setting that I have wrong?
When charging i alway see led show red so i think your device is not charge. Is your note charging normally or not?

I had the same thing, make sure to use the Samsung charger or a high quality charger of at least 1.8A. I bought an import phone that came with a generic charger that suited my wall socket, it would charge for a few mins then the screen came on and I heard the ding sound as though it was taken off charge. I went and bought a universal adapter and now using Samsung charger all is well, it is possible your charger is faulty even if using original.

Thanks for the info. I was using a charger that came with another phone and the screen kept coming on and off. I got the original charger out of the box and started using that and all is well. As for the LED, it seems that I had turned it off hoping that was the cause of my screen coming on during charging, I changed that setting back to the original and the LED is working again.

Hehe, I see that you have been to Thailand, let me know if you ever get over this way again.
unfortunatly my Nexus 4 fell into water and Iv'e tried the rice trick and it didn't helped. now after few weeks when I plug it to the charger I get a solid yellow notification light (sometimes it gets red too).
I just wondered what does it mean. it says the phone is just dead?
How long did you charge it?
Yellow light normally suggests it's charging. Let it charge for 3-4 hours and then see. But before this make sure that there is not water inside the phone.

I didn't actually tried to let it charge I 'll try it now.
it just light up when I plug the phone in. it's more orange light but the first time I plugged the phone it was red.
I replaced the battery yesterday from my friend's nexus 4 and it's still the same (the battery was half charged on his phone).
but the phone can be dead even though the battery charging right?

I bought my s8+ from best buy and it came with the fast charge wireless charger and for some reason when I charge my phone using it the phone stops charging and the led indicator on the wireless charger keeps blinking blue. Has anyone else have this problem?
