Dock wakes up with touchpad - Eee Pad Transformer General

Hello guys,
i noticed that after the 3.2 update the tablet will wake up by touching the touchpad, with the "MobileDock Battery saving mode" option on, but not by pressing the dock's keys.
I performed a factory reset yesterday but the issue seems to persist. i noticed that it wakes up also when the dock/tablet is opened.
I contacted asus UK tech support but they advised to do a factory reset...not of much help so far. I am going to try again later on but i was wondering if any of you has experienced the same. I am not sure this happened with 3.1, i am sure my unit didn't wake up by pressing the keys on 3.1 though.
I think it is related to this issue too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1151788
Any ideas?

it's normal. If you wait 5 mins the tablet will go into deep sleep and the touchpad will not wake the device.

I to can wake my unit by swiping the trackpad, just left it about an hour or so.
I have a b8O dock and B5O tab
I'm running prime 1.7, dock power saving active

I thaught that i had the same problem, but my tf101 only wakes up when it was charging. If it's disconneted from the power source, after 5 or 10 minutes you must use the power button on the pad to turn it on.
I also changed the wifi power save policy to 'disabled when screen is off', and it looks like my battery drain problem has gone.
(charged it this night, used it for 1,5 hours ,6 hours standby and still >80% left on the dock).

Come to think of it, i never tested it on batt. only. It was alway connected to the psu.
Will try it now on batt.

Just tested without the psu connected.
Nothing will wake the unit except for the pwr button.
Also looks like there is no batt. draining problem here.

I did try again and after 10-15 minutes form pressing the power button to enter sleep mode, the touchpad doesn't seem to wake up the tablet anymore. This is with the Eee Pad docked and running on battery, using stock HC 3.2
I obviously did not wait long enough when testing this yesterday
Thanks for you feedback anyway

Its always the power button that wakes up the thing for me, even on custom roms.

That's Funny... I let mine un-plugged over night and then I opened the lid it woke up. Not a big deal to me, I actually prefer it that way. My battery drain was only like 2% after 7.5 hours, with wifi on.

[Q] Dock problems/questions

I got the dock this afternoon and it worked great. After about an hour of use I got prompted for an update. I installed it, and the tablet rebooted. I went to move the cursor, only to see that it wasn't there. Disconnected and reconnected the tablet and got nothing. Rebooted, nothing.
I tried doing a factory reset, and went back to .9 (from .13). Still nothing.
If I connect the tablet to the dock and plug it into my computer, it's still getting recognized. So I know there is at least some form of communication going through it.
Is there any way to reset the dock or something? Can I tell if it's charging? With the dock plugged into the wall, and the tablet connected there's no lightening bolt in the battery icon (there is if I just plug it straight into the tablet). It also appears that the battery is still going down with it plugged into the dock and the dock plugged into the wall.
Anyone have some suggestions? I'm going on vacation next week and really want to take this with me
You tried everything but the most obvious. Try pressing the touchpad on/off button... 4th button along from the top left on the keyboard dock.

Guess I should have worded it better.
The dock doesn't connect to the tablet at all. There's no notification down by the clock. Hitting any button on the keyboard does absolutely nothing.
Also, I can confirm that it's not being charged. For the last hour, the tablet has been in the dock and plugged into the wall. The battery has only gone down.
What happens when you just plug the charger into the dock part, without the tablet connected? Does the little led near the adapter port come on at all?

I see nothing with it plugged into the wall or the computer
I just installed Prime 1.3 which has the optional dock firmware. From what I read, it's supposed to prompt me to install it when the tablet is docked. It doesn't...
Sounds like you have a bricked dock then if no power light at all. It happened to a few people after the update. They had to RMA theirs. If you want more details on that you'll have to use search.

Yea, awesome. Returning it through Amazon right now. Shame...definitely won't have one before I leave next week.
Navalhawkeye, I had similar issue after updating keyboard. Is there a question mark on battery icon?
When connected to the dock? No. It just shows the normal non-charging icon.
Sounds like yours is even worse than mine..
I can still use the keyboard and trackpad - it still charges my tablet when connected - but the dock battery itself refuses to charge now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080137
You'd THINK there'd be some sort of 'reset to factory' keypress on the dock - or some way to reset it and its FW, but I haven't found anything.
fu utility
after looking into the fu utility that located in /system/bin/fu, it seems that after the firmware update, there is a service that updates the keyboard if a certain condition is met.
The command to initiate such update is:
Code:
/system/bin/fu -c /system/etc/EC/FU.cfg -d /system/etc/EC/FU-d.cfg /system/etc/EC/TF101-EC-0209.rom
I'm not sure its possible to run this command in unrooted device, so you'll probably need root.
Can someone verify this?

B50 Tablet B50 keyboard dock.
Opened them both yesterday, updated firmware on both.
OP's #6 is true in my case. The checking and unchecking does nothing for me.
The keyboard dock does not charge at all either.

I had a question mark on battery icon and dock was not being recognized, did not work, but it did charge. How did you solve your issue? I had to send both, tablet and dock in. Got my tablet back today, but dock is still with Asus...

So replying to my own post....
I exchanged the keyboard at Bestbuy. The new one is also a B50 but the serial number is higher. This one does charge up to 100%. BUT touching any key will turn on the device (even when the new power saving option is checked) and it does drain the battery. With the combo off battery went down 6% in 4 hours.
Playing a 720p HD movie using MOBO player and lowest brightness takes about 20% of the battery every hour and it only uses power from the dock until it dies I think because tablet stayed at 100%.
I tested the combo for battery usage and here are the results:
Time Dock Battery Tablet Battery
5:00pm 56% 98%
Wifi Off, Screen Off
9:00pm 50% 98% (6% dock used in 4 hours of sleep)
Wifi On, Screen Off
11:00pm 46% 98% (4% dock used in 2 hours of sleep with WIFI on)
Wifi On, Screen On, Played 1.5 hour 720p HD movie using MOBOPlayer and went to bed and let it sleep 1min after inactivity (default)
9:00am 03% 93% (46% dock and 5% tablet used in 1.5hours of movie playing and 8.5 hours of sleep with with WIFI on)

Screen non responsive after sleep

Hello
I want to share something that happens to my Iconia. When connected to wifi, if I let the tablet sleep for some time, after I press the power button to wake it up, the screen does not respond. The only way out is to reset by keeping the power button pressed. The funny thing is that the tab does not freeze, only the screen as before reseting it asks me if I want to turn it off.
This has happened twice. Has anyone had the same issue?

I've actually had that happen to me a couple times recently. I'm not sure what's causing it, but I'm beginning to wonder if it continues to happen if we might not get some file-system corruption at some point. ? I wonder if it's a particular app that might be causing it. I haven't tracked it down yet, but I don't believe it ever happened to me before I put juice defender on the other day.
Its a known problem. I have had two acers, and both exhibited this problem. I tried factory resets, there is no getting around it. Just hope Acer issues a fix.

Not sure if what I had was exactly the same thing. But my acer crashed twice this morning. completely unresponse. 1st time it was asleep and the screen came on by itself and stayed on the lock screen. but i couldn't unlock. 2nd time, i had just woken it up from sleep and checked for an update, then it froze.
Both times, i had to hold the power button down to turn off, but it didn't ask if i wanted to shut down.. it just waited about 5 secs then turned off.
This is the first time since I've had it (4 weeks) that this has happened.
I enabled the wifi to be turned off when the screen is turned off and this has fixed the screen being unresponsive when its turned on and I also don't see the screen randomly waking up.
Definitely there is something wrong with the wifi in the iconia although I don't see any signal drops
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
Yes, this problem is actually listed quite a few times in the general Iconia issues thread and I think in some other threads as well.
I've placed a WiFi-widget on my desktop so I can switch off WiFi before putting my tablet to sleep. Since I am doing it that way, it hasn't frozen any more.

Waking the Tranformer from the sleep of death

Hey guys,
My Transformer took it's second "sleep of death" early Saturday and it is still in its "coma" state.
It won't turn on or respond to any buttons. Should I contact ASUS about this problem? Any tips on bringing it back to life?
Thanks
Don't have one, but everybody does the same: keep power pressed for several seconds, so the tablet will power off, then power it on again.
Check this forum and the development one, and you will see several threads for the SOD problem. You can turn it on again, but it seems that, right now, there is no failproof method for keeping the tablet to lock while in standby. Well, it seems it doesn't happen if you have the tablet plugged to the charger while in stand by.
Anyway, as I told you, check other posts to see what the people are trying / suffering.
Regards.
If you have it in the keyboard dock I would remove it. Then press the power button in for several seconds.
Did it do that overnight whilst docked? Mine did that There is a known issue with the dock discharging overnight when connected to the tablet. I think Asus are working on a firmware fix for that.

No I don't have the keyboard.
It has happened twice to me and it's always after charging the device (so far).
I woke it up earlier tonight. It charged fully on Saturday, and was completely dead today. This is probably not too good of an issue...
Only true lives kiss can wake the sleeping transformer from it's unnatural slumber.

Not sleeping when closed

So I have my Transformer put to sleep mode and plugged into the dock. However, I noticed that whenever I close the TF, the pad itself doesn't go to sleep. Instead, the TF turns back on and stays that way. This causes the dock's battery to drain really quickly. I've tried setting the Wifi disconnect policy to disconnect to the TF when the screen is off, as well as making it so that the screen does NOT stay on while charged. Does anyone else have this issue?

I'll have to check -- this certainly could be the cause of the heavy battery drain some people have reported. And I've noticed that my TF and dock have sometimes been warm when I pull them from the carrying case. AND every once in a while I'll notice that the TF screen has turned on while on the charger, and I know it was off when I put it down.

The transformer (and most Android devices) start up when you attach the charger. If you want it off you have to attach the charger 1st and then power it off.

User @Tera Tike found a magnet near the "+=" key on the keyboard. When a magnet in this position goes against the face of the tablet the tablet screen dims. I found, surprisingly, this ONLY works if the tablet is firmly docked.
If your tablet stays on then your tablet is not firmly docked. When un-docked the magnet has NO effect on putting the tablet to sleep when closed on dock. Check the tablet is docked firmly and the release switch is all the way to the right.
Good luck.
I have the same problem
Hello,
I have the same problem. I just flashed my tf101 yesterday with CM 9.1. Before the flash, when I closed the tablet down on the dock - ie, like you close a laptop - the screen would automatically go to sleep. When I opened it, it would automatically wake up. Now, when I close it, the screen stays on. If I turn it of with the button and then close it, it comes back on rather than staying off. It seemed to go to sleep after a minute (that's what I have it set to), but this morning, when I opened it, it was completely off - needing to reboot - and the battery was quite drained. Have you found any answers for this?
Thanks.
Hello !
When I shut the transformer off then close the keyboard like a laptop, it boot on again too !
I always thought that this was a normal behaviour but it's really stupid... it means that each time I left my tablet unused for a few days the battery will be totally empty...

Tablet won't turn back on

So i turn off my nex so it can charge faster after 1hr I notice the battery charging display wasn't showing so I decided to turn it back on it wouldn't start I pressed the power on button for at least 20min straight it wouldn't start I got very upset I kept on clicking then I got a logo does any one know what causes this to happen I'm stock with 4.2 update and this is like the second time it does this

You really press power for 20 minutes lol?
Next time just unplug the charger and wait a bit then plug back in. Do it several time and it will work.
and I do not know what cause the problem. It might be battery issue. or you usually left the battery die and Nexus 7 turn itself off? If you did that, that might be a bit of the problem!
Hope this help~
you don't need to turn it off to charge, you can just turn on flight mode...i leave our in flight mode overnight but charging and it barely uses any battery

Interesting you mention this. Last night I went to fire up mine and nothing....nada. Hadn't used it all day so I knew battery was charged. Waited a bit then pressed both power and volume (+ & -) at the same time and it booted. All was well.
Read where this has happened to a few other but not very often. Thought I might be looking at an RMA. 4.2 JB Stock ROM/rooted only. Keeping a wary eye on this development.
