I have the G Tablet with the Zpad dock running Vegan. Love the ROM and it runs great. I just recently hooked it up via HDMI to my LCD TV (why I waited who knows), but I have a basic question:
Can I turn off the G Tab display while docked?
I want to hook up a bluetooth keyboard and basically pass signal to the TV, and I don't want the unit display on if possible. No big deal, but just wondering if any of you guys have a solution?
Thanks!
Not as far as i know. Im sure somone who knows java could write an app for it.
But why do you want the display off? You could put it in a media cabinet or maybe behind your tv if its the light that bothers you.

Today I stopped by an ATT corporate store and picked up the Padfone X Mobile Dock / Keyboard for $99.00
Jumping right into the goods because I really dont need to give a lengthy explanation of how a bluetooth keyboard works
Pros:
1) Perfect compliment to the Padfone X, works perfect and has a a bunch of shortcut selections that replace what would be the f1 to f12 keys
2) Dedicated screenshot key, perfect for stealing those instagram/facebook meme's lol
3) Holds the pad snug and is not a pain to detatch
4) Charges rather quickly
5) Is software upgrade-able, at the moment there is little or no mention of firmware updates for the keyboard but you'll see in the cons why we will be seeing an update soon
6) Very easy to pair with the phone and works with other bluetooth enabled devices.
7) The touchpad is very accurate and the buttons click very nicely
8) Built to last, this is not cheaply made, the keyboard is very rugged and has an all aluminum housing. The LED light alerts you to whether the keyboard is pairing or if there is a change in the battery life.
Cons:
1) The keyboard is heavier than the tablet and phone, so carrying this around in your backpack or preferred carrying bag will be a bit of a workout
2) Does not come with a charger, yes you must switch out the charger from the tablet or phone once you are finished and plug in to recharge the keyboard. I would assume the keyboard has some kind of extended battery in conjunction with its metal housing that adds weight, but the aluminum does add weight
3) does not charge natively via QI wireless, it charges only via micro usb
4) does not connect to the Padfone X in any other way but bluetooth, so there is no way the Padfone X station could charge the keyboard directly.
5) Keyboard lag when using the navigational keys too fast, although a software update can fix this
6) The shortcuts using the trackpad are a small learning curve, but no shortcuts to swipe scroll up or down on pages
7) A keyboard that costs $99, well if you want to make your Padfone X experience complete you will get this, I would say wait for the price to go down but do get one if you can.
The keyboard only comes by itself with the standard Asus instructions. It would have been nice if they could have included a dual charger of some kind, Like the one pictured in the instructions that doesn't seem to exist at the moment
Remember that this device is brand new, and who knows what kind of updates and/or features could be given in due time. With the keyboard attached it is a weighty item. Portable it is but I would have not complained of manufacturing quality if they used the same materials for the keyboard as they did with the Screen dock and phone.
I am curious however as to why this keyboard is so heavy...who knows anyone have the courage to gut theirs?
On a scale of 1 to 10 overall i give this accessory a 7 in fairness. Perhaps if they could have integrated a QI charger to both power the phone and tablet dock it would be worth its weight.
Are you sure the keyboard can receive firmware updates?
On the underside of the keyboard is a label that reads H/W ver 2.0, S/W ver 1.0

The Bluetooth keyboard works with just about any android device once paired. However the function keys have variable effects depending on the device

can you confirm how many keystroke will register simultaneously? basically i am asking if the keyboard has N-key rollover especially important for gaming like pressing w and a and say space for firing

Do you know many android games that leverage keyboards? I haven't seen any... Most are touchscreen.
In my (extremely) testing, I haven't had any problems with simultaneous key presses. I have had issue with the trackpad when typing (palms keep pressing it) - there's a button to disable the trackpad that I need to get accustom too using. The keyboard is also so narrow that they had to remove the ' " and the / ? buttons. They have instead moved those to the buttons immediately to their left which will let you access the symbols for ' " / ? by holding the function key down. REALLY hard to get used to.
Overall, it's a keyboard for when you're in a pinch, not for comfort.
hi

Is that a Padfone 1 keyboard dock that you're using with Padfone S?? Or did I misunderstand?
Just wondering as I am a firm Padfone fan and I need to replace my PF2 (managed to drop it one too many times). The lack of a keyboard dock has been annoying me since I got the PF2 - and the idea that I could re-use my PF1 keyboard seems a good one for now.
Cheers

Ahhhh ok - well that at least makes more sense. Doesn't help me in the short term though I guess as those padfone X keyboards seem to be hard to get hold of.
What I really want is a transformer book V but it looks like that was never actually released.

I just grabbed a new one on eBay, cheaper than it was when it was introduced, but still really too expensive.
I love that it grabs on to the tablet and gives you a nice clam shell, but I cannot stress enough how incredibly heavy it makes it. I mean the tablet/phone combo was no lightweight to start with and the keyboard might weight more by itself. Compared to the Motorola Atrix keyboard I had been using it's a considerable weight jump. You may have to invest in a man-purse if you want to carry it around.
The track pad seemed a little sloppy/slow compared to the bluetooth mouse I had been using, but since you have the touch screen, I can excuse that.
Anyone found a good multimedia dock for the g3 I used to use the aerb multimedia dock with my note 3 but it broke pretty quickly so I want to avoid that one if possible anyone find any good ones yet I need it to have hdmi and at least 1 USB port 1080p output would be awesome too but not a big deal

I purchased the Dock version 2 to use my new Rog 3 and have nothing but problems while docked. I only purchased to basically play games and had asus professional dock 1st. Worked 100% with Galaxy S9+ and Galaxytab S6. No matter what I tried wouldn't accept LAN cable signal or Video output at same time? I researched the Dock II a little and seemed like exactly what I needed but same issue and couldn't use my Asus zenscreen mb16ac period to play games. Would reboot game and send message to screen saying Dp ALT mode isn't supported by the device (phone desktop dock II) & go to asus.com to download display driver. Well the Dock II according to asus support site runs on chrome OS and is no drivers or anything available for download that chrome OS automatically updates. Display link app allowed me to to perform basic functions on the zenscreen with Dock II but not start online applications. Asus support people had no answers or solutions for Android OS to fix this problem even though it clearly states on Asus.com that Zenscreen MB16AC is fully compatible with Rog Phone 3 and it is just not with Dock II! I have since returned the Zenscreen MB16AC and Asus professional dock to get my my $400 back! I've had nothing but problems with Asus peripherals with Asus phone? I have cheap type c portable monitor that runs perfectly without the first driver or app and several other type c hubs and docks of various price ranges and features which all work 100% also. I am really disappointed in my experience with Asus as this is first few Asus products I've owned. I'm waiting to hear back from asus support to get solutions to Ethernet port and video output I'm conjunction with each other. As of now I use a Ethernet to USB 3.0 adapter plugged into Dock II and Display port to type c cable to play games with Display with a solid internet connection and have to use Flydigi Apex controller and application to use key mapping features!? Same things (actually more via Ethernet adapter) with my Samsung phone and tablet wtf!? I bought this basically to be a mini console for Android games and emulators as it's advertising to be with it's outrageously priced peripherals! Unfortunately none of it's came to fruition and I needed a new phone period or I would and still thinking about getting rid of this and buy a Galaxy note 20 which have same cpu/gpu and is in my past experiences with other devices Plug and Play with anything and everything! I am even more pissed about Kunai 3 gamepad? This thing is a mystery? I purchased one on Aliexpress 2 months ago and still not" in stock" and just got refunded. Purchased one 2 days ago from reputable seller on eBay that said had 2 of them and be delivered by Sept 16th and was told this morning that be at least another month before it's "in stock" and getting a refund. Asus website has no official release date or have it even listed as item for sale on their website where I bought Dock II and Zenscreen!? I want to be able to use key mapping built into the phone with Armoury crate/ Game genie which is main reason for buying the Rog Phone 3. Asus says it supports key mapping for the Kunai gamepad 1 and 2 but won't actually clip to the Phone as this one slightly bigger ?. If I'm going to spend $150 - $200 I want capability to use it in all configurations. So if anyone has a solution to my problems with Dock II and Ethernet and DP Alt like link to drivers or something PLEASE LMK! And anyone who is considering purchasing the Asus Rog Phone 3 do some research and with caution if you want it to play games with external display and use all it's key mapping with controller and keyboard and mouse features show up but don't use so haven't tested it as actually being functional. Says that a few 3rd party controllers are supported but defeats the purpose for me as the actual games recognizes the controllers and KB&M which ISN'T what I want. So I'm stuck using aggravating Panda keymapper which requires you to run ADB Debugging from a computer which randomly deactivates and has to be done upon every reboot of phone or cheap feeling Mobile controller like my Flydigi Apex with their keymapper app running in background eating up more ram and unreliable BT connection! So again if anyone has a solution and anyone has a answer about Kunai 3 and where to actually purchase now without paying $300 please comment or message me here I will dance at you wedding!

I dont know why all user always says that problem here problem there problem all the time.
Long story short you didnt know how to configure you just wasting your money.. As for me its all work and i'm playing with Asus DOCK V1 it since i received my ROG 3 last month.
Because ppl need to be informed about all the BS and unfortunate its not short. Exactly what this is for
---------- Post added at 05:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 AM ----------
And I'm playing mine. Its not correct. Asus doesn't even have the answer. Configuration is not the problem its compatibility and i get a apology ? how sweet of asus. I posted because I know they are actually people who have ways around the crap. Sorry for posting the truth about dock 2. Happy as a punk n a dic tree yours is fully operational my man. All the best
Good evening mate, I'm sorry for your bad experience. I'm using mobile Dock 3 with Rog XG17 external monitor, claymore keyboard glaudis mouse and delta headphones everything working good and completely plug and play. The only thing is that on heavy games the phone overheats (tonight I got 50°c on cod mobile max settings) and I can't turn off the phone monitor while I'm using external.

Hello mate, did you On the XMODE? bcoz you dont need to. XMODE is useless in gaming COD or PUBG bcoz our phone is already fast so you dont need to turn on XMODE i played with dock since my ROG 1 and XMODE OFF. Also i put a Mini Fan external usb FAN towards the Phone Screens. my average temp is 35 below.
Hello, does anyone knows if there is a way to use a not original docking station?
I purchased a baseus one on Ali express (founded cheap for 10€).
I knew that I couldn't use the original desktop mode, but I thought that I could use another app to have tesktop mode. I was wrong: connected to my TV in the living room, connected the power supply and when I insert the rogphone 3 on the port (doesn't matter if the lower one or the sided one) it just play the sound of the recognised peripherial and nothing more, it neither charge the battery.
Any suggestion?
Edit:
I'm just stupid: I wasn't using a charger with enough output
