After sending the dock for RMA last week, I got it back in a different packing but the dock serial remains the same!
Did anyone get the same serial after the RMA and had a working keyboard?
upon inspection on the packing list regarding the dock, it appears the Part No. is different than the one listed on the box of the old dock.
But, of course the actual dock doesn't list any Part No. so it's basically impossible to tell if the dock is actually associated with this part no..
All we know is that the serial # is identical, but the Part No. is different, according to the old retail box and the RMA packing list.
Ok, need some help.
It appears that after ~12 hours of screen off, the Dock was completely drained of power.
Could this be caused by WiFi power management setting set to "Never Turn off When plugged in"?
However, I have Mobile Dock Power Saving Option turned on.
Does this drain mean the Dock is still broken...or never actually got replaced?
bump, help
My dock discharge is identical..both tab and dock at 100%, put them together and close it, make sure nothing is running, have the power save mode checked and dock will not wake on key press (i.e. Not one of the old docks that the firmware would not work with), still twelve hours later the dock is dead and tablet is now draining..i returned the last dock because it squealed (yep, audible noise) and it did not drain like this one..i had 48 hours off the charger with the previous dock before having to charge, and that was with full use, not just setting the thing on the table and doing nothing with it. I have contacted Asus because this is clearly not right, they have yet to reply but when they do i will let you know. My advice..RMA.

Does your TF go into deep sleep? If not, then it's running just as it would with the screen on. you need to set wifi disc policy to when screen is off (bottom choice).

I'm surprised there isn't a stickie on this ... it's been talked about here and there.
So I verified I, too, had the power draining problem on my dock ...
- Charged both tablet and Dock to 100%
- Connected tablet to dock, closed the lid and let it sleep
- 8 hrs later, my tablet's battery is at 99%, dock is down to 3%
So the dock's battery has been completely drained while the tablet is 'sleeping'. Of course if I just let the tablet sleep on its own without the dock connected it wouldn't drop more than 5% in 8 hours.
To do a little experiment, last night I POWERED OFF my tablet and connected it to the dock before I went to bed. The tablet was at 73%, dock at 100% then. When I woke up this morning, tablet's at 100%, dock is at 73%.
So it seems like the dock was charging the tablet, and when the tablet's fully charged, it stops draining from the dock - exactly how things SHOULD work! Only problem is this only happened with the tablet powered off.
So seems to me it's a software / firmware problem with the tablet and how it uses the dock to charge itself ... it basically continues to drain the dock even when it's already fully charged.
I do want to confirm if EVERY dock is having the same draining problem? In other words, does anyone out there has a dock which does NOT drain the tablet when the tablet's in sleep?
I will report to Asus but seems like Asus already knows about this issue? And I'm not sure what an RMA would do if it's a known problem that they haven't managed to fix vis SW/FW yet ... I'll get a new dock which will behave the same way?
I guess while filing the complaint I'll wait for Asus to come out with the firmware fix? Hopefully sooner than later. For now the get-around is if I am going to let the tablet sleep for a long time I'll either detach it from the dock or power off the tablet.

The draining issue seems to be fixed for many who got the newest batch (serial # starting B6OK). If you can return yours and buy a new one, it's probably a good idea.
Asus is aware of the issue .. see below

Okay, this might sound stupid. But are you sure your screen is turning off when closing the lid? And by that I mean, when it's fully closed.
Mine goes on again, just when the lid hits the bottom of the dock. You can only see it when it's dark, but I can tell you - it's draining the battery too.
I have the exact same problem too. So I keep them separate at night.
Asus said they are aware and are working on a fix.
So today i got the dock for my TF201.
At first, the tablet wouldn't recognize the dock at all. So i let it charge a bit. Then it recognized the dock (notification tray icon saying that dock is connected), but it showed as 0% battery (weird), then it jumped up to 48%, and the cursor+keyboard worked fine.
I let it charge the rest of the way (both tablet and dock at 100%), and unplugged it and went to the other room. (not on AC power) Once again, the dock wasn't even recognized. So i rebooted, and now it was recognized again, but again reporting 0% battery, and neither the keyboard nor touchpad were responding. So I let it sit again (not on AC), and now it says dock battery is at 100%, although the touchpad, and keyboard still do not work.
Is my dock just defective, or is there something I should know?
(stock ICS, not-rooted)
if wrong section, i am sorry, i'm new here.
Check the connection to the dock...it is a tight fit and its easy to not push it all the way in.....look at the release mechanism it should be set all the way to the right.

I too have had some intermittent issues with the dock. Mine usually occur after it has been asleep for a period of time. I will have to pull it apart up to two or three times to get it to work again. Mine is always recognized but the touchpad and keyboard will not respond. I am thinking about sending it back to Amazon for a new one. I am trying to deal with it as long as I can though since they do not have any in stock at the moment.

yea, now that i have done a full 8 hour charge (RTM actually worked for once ) it seems to be working fine, but that sounds like exactly what i was having.
Now the battery seems a bit off, but that is probably just my imagination at this point.
seems to be working 100% fine now. Strange, kinda just let it charge, and now it works...
Hey, I bought my tf201 yesterday (did the ics upgrade etc) and I noticed exact the same problem when I start testing the dock station. I charged both to 100% and the tab didn't recognize it... Sometimes it showed 0% than suddenly 98%... Sometimes key's did work like turning off wifi, BT. But the letters didn't. touchpad = just dead. Also the dock wasn't recognized when you look in settings > "about phone". I brought it back to the shop, they tried the dock from the one that's in the showroom. And it didn't work either, seems like there's a connection problem in the tab itself. They couldn't give me a new one because all the others were already ordered. And I need to wait 3 weeks for the nex batch so they gave back my money.
This really sucks... The tab on it's own was working well and pretty amazing performance.
My apologies if this has been posted previously - but I cannot seem to find anyone who has had an identical issue...
My TF201 has worked perfectly since purchased - but in the last 4-6 weeks I have started to notice issues with battery life and as I have been busy with other more pressing issues I have simply been charging it more regularly and 'ignoring' the situation. However I have now realised that the problem appears to be related to the fact that the dock is not charging the tablet from it's battery reserve when the tablet is running low.
I have also noticed that when charging the unit it never gets a 'green' fully charged light on the dock and simply remains 'amber' irrelevant of how long it is left charging...
I have tried the 'cold boot' ('volume down' and power button for more than 12 seconds etc.) - which does initiate the cold boot but does appear to resolve the issue...
I have always charged both items docked and only use the original charger...
I have the same issue which started around the same time. I have also noticed that my dock is not charging although the tablet will while connected to the dock. The dock was at full battery when I noticed it was no longer transferring power to the tablet as the tablets battery got low. Now the dock is around 90% and does not increase regardless of how long it is left on charge. I have tried charging the dock by itself as well; still no luck. The tablet does indicate the dock is connected and the keyboard still funcions. This appears to be an issue with the dock battery being unable to transfer power whether from the plug or to the tablet. Any advise as to what to troubleshoot next would be appreciated.
Just started seeing the same symptoms this week. Guess this device is reaching the end of its road...

I'm having the same issue, too.
I just noticed the same behavior this past week, after having owned the tablet+dock for almost two years with no problems.
The tablet just drains completely whether it's docked or not. The dock is holding a steady 77% charge but does not transfer this charge to the tablet when it's docked. The tablet charges normally when plugged in directly to the wall (using the original charger) or when docked and the dock is plugged in to the wall. The keyboard continues to function normally.
I haven't received any system updates recently either, so I can't think of anything that has changed in the software configuration to make this happen suddenly. Glad that it's happening to other folks and not just me! Has anyone tried a factory reset?
Update: tried the factory reset, but it didn't help.
I found some discussion over on the Transformer Forums, but unfortunately I can't post a link to it. Search google for "transformer forums faq definitive thread battery" to find it.
See for example comments #335, #340, #345-353.
The first post in that thread suggests a couple of things to try, including popping the charger into the freezer (I kid you not), doing a cold boot with the dock attached, and trickle-charging the dock off a PC's USB port. If all that fails, they say to contact ASUS for a warranty repair because it's probably a hardware fault.
I've tried all of those except the trickle-charge, and in addition tried a factory reset. I also opened up the dock, disconnected the battery and reconnected it, and reseated some of the other connectors on the board. Nothing has helped.
My dock is out of warranty (it's two years old) so I suppose that's the end of the road.
Same problem
I have a TF201 with dock that worked perfectly until mid October or maybe early November. After not finding a solution online and talking to ASUS several times I sent in my tablet and dock to have it repaird as they said it was a hardware problem. ASUS wanted nearly $300 to replace the motherboard! I said thank you, but please send it back. I don't believe there is motherboard problem because it is too much of a coincidence that this proble started after receiving the GPS dongle and trying it on the TF201.
The symptoms are
1. the dock doesn't fully charge
2. the tablet will not charge from the dock
3. The tablet will fully charge when the charger is plugged into the dock
Any suggestions are really appreciated. I have done cold boots, with and without the dock.
thanks

Seeing the same symptoms here. Why on earth would they want to replace the motherboard? The tablet appears to be working just fine, it's the dock that's apparently screwed. And $300? Are they out of their ever-lovin' minds? So, were you out shipping one way, or two, if you don't mind my asking?
My solution was to buy a Note 10.1 2014.
Happening to me too:
Post copied from thread I made in error:
After suffering with stock jellybean on my Prime I decided to take the plunge and flash a custom rom.
I followed Matt Hill's guide on unlocking the bootloader and saving my back-ups. That went without a hitch. I then wanted to install the Hairybean 2.3.1 ROM but was still on flatline. I then flashed TWRP 2.5 and then again followed the hairybean install instructions to the letter. I used their supplied bootloader. That also went without a hitch and the Prime itself is running extremely well and I'm loving the new smoothness. When turning the machine on the Prime wanted to update the firmware on it which I declined. When I rebooted, it decided to update anyway. Still. Worked fine and was still silky smooth.
However. I have now noticed that my dock refuses to charge. If I plug the adapter into the dock and attach the tablet to the dock, the tablet will charge but the dock refuses to (even if the tablet is at 100%). I have tried removing the tablet and charging the dock on its own but it refuses. The light comes on the side, but doesn't indicate it is charging. Whats odd, is that when I plug the charger into the tablet and dock together, the widget shows the battery of the dock charges for a second, before then deciding not to. My tablet is at 100% but the dock is stuck at 16%.
Any ideas what might be causing this? Or how I can resolve it?
Thank you!

Facing the same problem. Tablet charges fine while connected to dock, but dock fails to charge. Steady at 5%. It continuously flashes amber light when charger is plugged in. Tablet is out of warranty (about 20 months old), so not sure what to do.
has anyone found a fix for this? mine is doing the same thing dock doesnt seem to be doing its job by powering the tablet really love my prime dont want to have to go and buy a new tablet just because the dock wont charge it.
My wife and I own a TF201 and have found that out of the 2 chargers, only 1 works to charge the tablets now and the other doesn't, and it's all in the actual plug, not the cable.
I've tried a bunch of other android and USB plugs and nothing works to charge them at all.
Have been looking at getting a genuine replacement charger for it so that we can charge both at the same time instead of sharing, but it works for the moment.
You might want to try a new charger too?
Same problem
[Exactly the same problems. TF201 Keyboard won't charge although the tablet does charge when power plugged into keyboard - but to only 99%. When plugged in directly, it happily charges to 100%, therefore the assumption is that the tablet is working fine. The keyboard won't charge at all under any circumstances and it is now down to 43% charge left - Aaaagh!
Crazy thing is that my partner's TF301 is now exhibiting the same symptoms!
I, too, contacted ASUS and they informed me it would cost £45 + VAT just to inspect the 201 and then cost ??? for repair.
Reading the other forum entries it almost sounds as if ASUS have fitted an obsolescence chip!! Just too many coincidences here.
My response: I've recently bought a new ASUS Windows 8 Transformer - I must be mad!
I recently got this same problem, with the classic symptoms:
1. the dock won't charge
2. the tablet will not charge from the dock
3. only the tablet will charge when the tablet is docked and the charger is plugged into the dock
I tried all the tricks I could find on the interweb - cold boots, trickle charging overnight, I even put my charger in the freezer. I even tried a custom ROM (ok, I was planning to do that anyway )
ASUS wanted £45 just to look at it, so I took the plunge and ordered a new dock battery for £30 off ebay (shipped from china). It took a few weeks to arrive, but it has solved the problem! It's a 15 minute job to swap it over, and as I write this, the dock is now charging!!! :good:
If anyone else wants to try it, the dock battery code for my UK model is C21-TF201D. You will need a small phillips head screwdriver and a small Torx star screwdriver to get the dock apart, but it's easy enough. There are tutorials on youtube and plenty of how-to's out there.
So between a battery and a new ROM, it feels like a new tablet again!! :good:
Same Problem + bulging
I have the same problem with my keyboard dock. Now the dock looks bulging in the middle, I think because of the battery. Other functions except charging still works. I cannot flip close tablet and dock attached because of the bulging.
Since the waranty is over, is it possible the dock still works without battery (if I remove the battery)? I'm afraid the battery will explode if I keep using it in this condition. If this is possible maybe I will ask ASUS Service Center to remove the battery since I don't want pay extra money to replace the battery, last time they said its about 85 USD.
Dock registers to tablet, I can see battery level.
Dock Battery is not charging
Dock battery is discharging slowly
It's possible to charge tablet through Dock
I guess something is broken inside so I'm going to open it. I've seen many videos but they are not helpful in this case.
Does someone have experience? Is it possible that battery pack is broken itself?

Yes. I just removed the battery and closed it again without it.
It's look like 2 batteries/cells are good itself but internal controller is brkoen somehow.
Piece of cake. Although the replacement is a bit lower MhA it's a lot better than the old battery

At first I wondered about this being a smaller battery if it would run down fast. It doesn't !!! Works very well !!!
I changed out my battery with one from the above site, but now every time I plug a USB cable in it to charge it immediately shuts off. Anyone have any ideas what could cause this? Wonder if I got a bad battery..

That could be a bad/shorted battery. Mine is still going strong! I would try and reverse everything and start over. When I did mine my vol controls didn't work. Didn't have the connector snapped down good enough
I was looking at this one (still am actually although the one you got is cheaper):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3F0glSyvj2s
http://www.newpower99.com/Barnes_No...cement_Kit_p/barnes and noble nook tablet.htm
I am still trying to see if there is a setting that somehow caused my NT to freak out when the battery reaches 23%
But I have this bad feeling I will need to purchase a new battery. By the way, if the nook just shuts off watch the screen closely it usually says "battery too low" for a second before switching off. And if that is the case after plugging it in, you likely have a bad one and I would call the company to get a replacement.
I have been looking around and the only new replacement batteries I find are the two mentioned and both are 3200mh rather than 4000 of the original. How is your battery life since you changed it? Seems like it should be 1/4th what we had when new (or close to it). Or don't you really notice at this point? I have thought about ebay but then they are used batteries and you have no idea how many cycles are left, and likely hold 1/4th less anyway due to their age. *shurgs* not sure which way to go. As of now I am still having a "freak out" situation at about 23% (roughly). If it doesn't get any worse I can live with that, but from what I have read it will only get worse. :/
Anyone know of a battery app I could use to "adjust" the shut down threashold? I have one that will alert me to whatever I set so if I am not watching it will warn me so that will work if I don't have one that will actually shut it down. I know the "calibrating" apps don't do anything except delete the one file that is only usage stats from the last time it was plugged in, so I don't think there is a real way to calibrate it.
Update:
And on another note with the "spare parts" app the 'battery history' option errors with "the application spare parts ) process.com.andriod.spare_parts_ has topped unexpectedly, please try again." Is this normal? It is version 2.3.7. NT Hidden Settings app application settings/battery use works fine and shows the amount of everything that has used the battery since it was last plugged in/charged. Could this error be a sign of the problem with the phantom touches and inaccurate battery display? And if it is a sign of something broken, what and how do I fix it?
I received a replacement battery and it is doing the same thing, so somehow during the battery switch something got wonkey with my nook. It charges OK just powers off to do it. Since it's used by my kids now it's not essential to be on while charging, but I'd still like to figure this out.

Which battery did you get? And very strange it shuts off when you plug it in. Never seen or heard of that before. It should boot up if off. Or do you mean the screen goes off/goes to sleep but not full shut down when you plug it in? If it is going to sleep, that is likely a app or setting that is doing it. Not sure which but you might want to check any battery apps you have or your settings. It would also depend on which ROM you are running, stock (which I am running) or something else.
Both batteries were the one mentioned in the original post. It doesn't go to sleep when I plug it in, it completely shuts off like no power at all. It will not boot up until I unplug the USB from a power source, although it will fully charge while it is plugged in. I've never seen anything like this and I've been messing with android since my original moto droid 1.

Very strange indeed. The only thing I would say to do is turn the USB debugging on and off a few times, to see if that makes a difference. It shouldn't but if you tried two different brands of battery, sounds like it is the hardware on the nook. But that is one really weird bug.
Something interesting I discovered. While I did get a new battery, I decided to do some experimenting. Researching this issue a lot of people said you need to delete the "battery file". There even use to be a option in CWM to remove this file. The thing is the file is deleted every time you plug in the device. So that is not going to help.
Further digging found that some devices you need to plug them in and let them charge. Or run them down for say 20-30 minutes without sleeping then plug in and let it charge fully. For some devices this "resets" the battery management system.
What I found in my tests is the battery gets harder to charge with age. While the little n light might show green, it is likely only 80% charge sometimes 90%. And it takes awhile for it to really get to 100%. What I did was let it charge up to that full 100% which may take hours. I got a nice battery app that alerts me when it gets below 25% after that things can get crazy with phantom touches. I also have it set to give a audio alert when it reaches 100%, this way I know when it is fully charged.
I know the charge it fully (when it actually says 100% and I get a audio alert when this happens) before 50% or so has helped a lot. At one point the phantom touches started to happen at higher than 25% reaching almost 35%, last time I did a test to see when phantom touches started was 17% so it is much better. Not to the level when I bought the device, but still very useable.
I will put in the new battery sometime I am sure as it is taking longer and longer to reach the full 100% (but that is normal for lithium ion batteries.) it is certainly useable in this state and the phantom touch issue is not getting worse. I think the biggest issue was charging it until the n light went green and as the battery ages, the battery manger gets thrown off for some reason and charging to the true 100% helps recalibrate it.
Therefore I would run it for 20 minutes without letting it go to sleep, then charge until it is really full (usually leave it plugged in overnight and that should do it). Do this a few times and see if the battery is better.
Oh another thing I did. Power it off fully (hold down power button then tap shutoff) then plug it in to charge. Let the charger wake, reboot, and charge the device. This I also think helps recalibrate the system. Although I never did it when I ran it for 20 minutes then charged to full. But I am sure powering off then plugging in to charge at times made a difference as well.
I've just bought one of these batteries, hoping it'll be better than my old one.
It should be. It won't be quite as it was when it was new, as these new batteries don't have the capacity compared to the originals that B&N installed (perhaps a hour or two less runtime compared to the originals). But it will be better than a well used Nook Tablet battery that is fading fast.
I don't know if I need a new battery just yet, but I am experiencing the issue of the power being killed when plugging the Nook into the wall or USB (which means transfers over an SD card, which is a pain). I only spent $5 to get it and I can see why someone might have thought it was broken, since they probably plugged it in to charge it but it wouldn't turn on while plugged in. It does charge while off, however.
What I've noticed in my experience is that if I turn it on, I can plug it in while the Nook is on the N screen, and then it'll go to the Cynoboot screen still plugged in, but the second it goes to boot the OS it turns off.
Anyone have any ideas on why it would allow itself to be on until it tries to boot to the OS?
Hello all.
I was wondering if there is a way of manually allowing this or not.
I was on a older version of the Crombi rom which seemed to allow this to work.
I have since updated to the latest and tried a few other different roms and it will only seem to charge out now it the tablet/dock is open and screen is on.
I would be fine if it would charge even if the tablet is open but screen off.
There are times where I only have the charger for the tablet and can borrow a usb cable and I became accustom to charging my phone that way.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
thats a bit strange, as I can charge both the tablet and dock together with it shut on mine..
does the dock charge by itself?
does the tablet charge by itself?
does the tablet accept charge from dock when Tablet is plugged into dock and shut?
(easy to test this one.. check % before and after on both and compare... say after 1/2 hour and see if there is a difference...as Dock should discharge in to Tablet, then stop once tablet is full and then you should only get deep sleep lossage....)
Yeah the tablet and the dock all charge okay.
I was trying to use the usb from the dock to charge my phone while it's closed.
When I'm out I watch stuff on the tablet and charge it and go to sleep and close the tablet and dock. But when I do that, it stops charging the phone I have plugged into that usb connection on the dock.
Right..understand..
The dock is going into full shut down/tablet is going into full shut down
..which most of us want.. This will be kernel based..
As while it would be good say on a long trip to be able to use the dock as an external battery top up device for phones..I don't think the Asus docks have ever been that smart..
Only thing I can think off is that you set WiFi to always on..thus the tablet is not going to go into the deep mode for some time after shut down..
You could ask in the grimlock kernel thread on the setting in the kernel on the expected time that it is set...
Okay I'll give that a shot.
