Is it just me or does the dock not charge the tablet like the TF101 did. Mine will eventually charge but not until the tablet hits 50/60 percent. My old original tf101 kept the main battery at 100 at all times and depleted the dock battery first.

the prime lets the battery go down to 70% before the dock starts to charge it.

I had read that but mine gets almost to 50% before it starts charging. Luckily I leave mine ALWAYS in the dock so its not a huge concern. I just wanted to see if others have theit dock waiting this long to charge. It could be a battery issue on my tablet. I cant ever seem to get 16 hours. My on time with heavy use is closer to 8hrs with a dock connected off the charger.

Just got my keyboard dock and for some reason the battery will not discharge to my prime. I got it out of the box, charged it for 8 hours, installed the firmware update, and it will not charge the device. Down in the bottom corner I see the icon that shows the keyboard should be chargeing the prime but the stock battery widget as well as dual battery widget are showing only the device discharging which the dock is remaining at 98%. Anyone else having this issue? Think its just a defective unit? The dock is securly connected and every other function works.
Any help would be appreciated.

It will start charging after the tablet gets to around 70%

I though that was pretty weird at first too.
Thanks.. mine has the same, but why does it do that? The TF101 doesn't work that way too. It isn't really nice imho.
My prime dock only charges sometimes when I plug my tablet in, Is this normal? Does it only start charging after my tablet drops below a certain percentage?

When the tab drops below 70%, it'll start sucking power from the keyboard until (I forget which) it is up at either 90% or 100%.

Yep, that's totally normal. There's a bunch of threads that describe the charging characteristics of the dock.
Ahhh great thanks guys, I was worried there for a little while.

I have the problem of the dock never charging the tablet.
After searching around I don't see anyone else with this problem.
Looks like this one is going back.
ok, anyone else had charging issues? re-assembled the charger, checked connections but neither dock or prime are charging. as neither are showing charging i am REALLY hoping its the cable or wall charger but nice to hear from others if they had any problems
cheers

Chances are, it is the AC adapter charger. I had a similar problem with my original TF101. A new charger fixed the problem. Mine was having connection issues from the plate that allowed universal plugs.
thanks... need a few more stories like that to reassure me.
things bloody unlocked so warranty void..

has the same problem. definitely the wall charger as it would trickle charge with any other. read somewhere about plugging in a normal phone into the asus charger until that started charging, then plugging in the prime. I did that to get it working. probably not a good long term solution, but the second charger I ordered isn't here yet.
actually , guessing it must be the charger as the prime has been charging off the dock ok until just this minute when it has finally depleted it. fingers crossed i can get a new one tomorrow

I can't get it synced with my PC...could it be a problem with charger input jack...?
So I searched the Q&A section but couldn't find my problem exactly so I thought I would ask. I leave my prime attached to the ASUS keyboard dock all the time. I will charge it while it is on overnight (so both the tablet battery and the dock battery show 100%), but 2 days later the battery is 100% dead and I haven't even used the tablet! The ASUS power setting is set to Balanced, and the MobileDock Batter Saving Mode and Disconnect network during sleep are also both checked. I am stumped.
I have attached a screen shot of what the battery graph shows, and it is quite weird to me.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thats really weird seems like a defective battery but definetly give your prime a cold boot that always seems clear up and problems for me.

Forgive my ignorance, but what do you mean by a cold boot? When the battery dies, it is fully shut down, so it always starts from a completely shut down state. Thanks!
So I just figured out something interesting. I opened my tablet today and again it was dead, or at least was off and wouldn't turn on. So, I took it off the keyboard dock, and wouldn't you know it turned on!! It is at 54% but the tablet battery is fine. I think the dock may be bad. Anyone else have a problem with the docks?

you (and everybody else running ics on prime) have sod. Do a search here. it only happens when docked. if you hold the power button for 20seconds or thereabouts it will reboot and you will be fine.
