Hello to all! One fine day, the docking station from my transfomer stopped charging. The dock indicator on the tablet shows the charge, but in fact it is not. The tablet itself is charged from a docking station connected to an electric network. The indicator on the docking station blinks yellow, and does not light up continuously when charging. Do not tell me what can be done, or is this already the end?
And also, the docking station makes a rattling sound when charging is connected.
Sorry to bother; I found the reason that the battery was swollen. close the topic, please.

I believe that there is an issue with charging performance in the Atrix car dock. I'm using the OEM Motorola ECOMOTO Rapid Rate vehicle power adapter (850 mAH) with dual USB ports. You can tell this USB charger is a good product just by the weight of the thing! A test charge in the Atrix car dock began at 7:45 AM and the phone's charge was 20%. At 9 AM 30% and 10:30 AM 40%. This is obviously nothing like the wall charger so it made me believe that the phone was powered by the charger while docked but only receiving a trickle charge. Connecting the phone directly to the USB car charger (without the car dock) using a stock USB to micro USB charging cable, at 8:00 AM the phone was at 20%, 8:20 AM 40%, 9:00 AM 70% and 10:00 AM 100%. What a contrast!! So it appears that there is an issue with charging performance while in the car dock. I've reported this to Motorola and hope that they can reproduce and address. How about the rest of you, what say you all?
Mine charges fine. I have the moto - 2usb port charger and it powers the phone in the dock just fine (mine is Y shaped and ships with the MotoBranded car dock, not AT&T).
Mine charges just like the wall charger - both put out 850mA. If I am running Nav in the car dock, and screen is on, it charges slower - but this is to be expected.

I find when driving around during the day with the screen always on, taking the occasional call and GPS/Navigation running most of the time (not sure, just love seeing my KM/H sitting up there helps keep my heavy right foot off the go pedal) that my battery slowly slinks up in % almost like it's not charging due to the load I have on it.
old thread but..
Hello
I know its old thread and no one is interested anymore but I found out that Atrix is giving power back to the vehicle when connected to the car dock.
I have a Cigar lighter slot hub with an LED indicator. The LED remains glowing when I turn off my car and leave Atrix in the Car Dock. I found out that ACC are having power until Atrix battery is empty.
Even if I unplug the HUB from the car, LED remains glowing, but battery drain seems not that high than connected to the car.
Once I remove the Atrix and put it back, LED is not glowing again, so I think it has something to do with the Car Dock and the Atrix software. (not sure)
I'm trying to make a work around with relay...
as title says, does anyone know when does docking station start charging the tablet? cause ive noticed that even when my tablet is at like 75% while keyboard is at 90% its not charging the tablet
A little searching would tell you that your tablet won't begin charging until it's reached 70%.
ahhh kk, mmm guess ill have to test this then
If your cable is plugged into your dock and the tablet connect to the dock, the tablet will charge first, once the tablet is fully charged the dock then charges, ive also noticed, if my tablet is on low power and the dock is charged, the dock charges the tablet moving its charge to the tablet, COOL!!!
I wonder if dock charging tab is an OK thing in terms of not shortening batery life in future ... does anyone have any info on this?
HELLO my TPRIME keyboard is not charging the tablet charges up to 100% but as i type my TPRIME keyboard is at 15% while the tablet is at 100% & both are connected and plugged to the charger i even deleted battery stats if anyone has this problem or knows how to fix this please respond THANK YOU
Lol, breathe, calm down, and learn how paragraphs work.
You are saying you have the prime docked on the keybord dock and the usb cable plugged into the dock. The prime says its charging but the dock does not say its charging?
Have prime docked. Prime should say its charging from the keyboard dock even if the dock is not plugged in.
Plug in charger to dock. Prime should notify that the dock is charging.
Now if you plug the charger into the dock there should be a light by the charging port that glows showing the dock is, in fact, charging. do you see this light? Does it glow when the charger is connected?
If the dock charge indicator does NOT glow and you know you are getting power from the charger then i suggest trying to get a refund or replacment for your dock as it seems to be malfunctioning.
Hopefully this helped. hit the thanks button if it did!
hello PILEOT thank you i understand what you explained but i have another friend who has a TF201 and the same thing happed to his prime i spoke to him he told me that he purchased a new charging plug and it solved the issue so ordered a couple of new plugs because the one i have i bought it and its a usb apadter plug im also going to call ASUS the only problem is i unlocked my bootloader that may be a problem but im not going to mention that fact thank you
So I have this issue where my dock is unable to charge. When I plug in my tablet on its own, it charges just fine (though the little light to indicate as such does not seem to work). When I plug the dock in on its own, it doesn't charge, and the little indicator light does not shine, either. When the tablet is connected to the dock and I plug it in, the tablet charges, but the dock does not. I am fairly certain it is not the dock because I have bought two different docks and the problem was present both times (first dock was refurbished, second one is brand new). Seeing this problem twice is extremely frustrating and I don't know what's wrong. Any help is much appreciated!

Never heard of that one but applying some logic:
1. The dock should charge if the power cable is plugged in to it even without the tablet connected (i.e. the dock can charge by itself). Hooking it up this way eliminates the tablet as the source of the problem since it isn't hooked up. So the tablet is not the problem
2. Therefore the problem has to be either the dock, the cable, or the charger.
3. You already tried using a different dock (the second one being brand new) with the same result, probably eliminating the dock as the problem (as you already indicated).
4. That leaves the charger or the cable. Do you have another cable you can swap in?
I have Exactly the same problem.. My cable charges the tablet perfect but not the dock.
I plug the cable charging the dock overnight and nothing, cero charge. But if I leave charging the tablet it charges perfectly.
Now. I also notice that when I connect the tablet to the dock it says " change to Asus keyboard for better consistency " How do i chage this?

So I noticed that when I have gear on dock but dock unplugged my battery stays at 100%. Is the dock also some what of a portable charger?

i also think the same way , but not sure about it , because if we plug the dock the battery will have charge icon.
OK I found out the charging cradle does have a battery and will provide a small charge without being plugged in. You can also connect the cradle to phone using special cable (sorta kinda special). The dock has about a 350m battery same as the gear itself. It's not much but I think it's a cool little gimmick.
I'm going to say yes because the dock has a charge light on it next to the microUSB port. If you notice it'll be Blue if you keep the dock plugged in for a while but red if you plug it in and it's been unplugged for a while.
well then thank you for the info , so we can charge it anywhere
Yes confirmed the dock will charge. I use it when watch is fully charged to keep it at 100%.
its in the user manual..the dock is a battery
According to the manual, it will charge the Gear S up to about 50% only.
The Gear S has a 300mAh battery, while the dock has 350mAh.

Use the charging dock to charge the battery in your Gear S. The charging dock also contains a battery. Take care not to lose the dock.

also..the XDA had already a topic about it

Utterly amazing that people would own a device as sophisticated as the Gear S and NOT read the manual???
Maybe you would discover the setting for making breakfast and washing the car!
