uh! uh! uh! me want! me want!
nice design indeed... now since all stuff is made in china, time to check ebay and DX to find the same thing without the label...
translation = cheaper

If in stock tomorrow I will be ordering, nice find!
Have you used this site before? If so opinoins on them? (Directed at anyone who has used the site).
Bit off topic but is a cheaper ebay battery just as good as a Original?

Looks good but won't work with cases

Jsut ordered mine

DOH!

Glad I went for a pouch case, Looks really good i loved using my dock for my iPhone and iPod Touch

I wonder whether it would be stable enough to stick to a car dash and use it as an in-car dock..

i wouldn`t buy it.. every time i see things like this, i think it going to scratch the back of the handset..

Twice as expensive though.

What is it that makes the phone decide it's 'docked' ??
When I plug my phone in to a micro-usb charger (or a micro-usb cable hooked up to a PC), then go to
Clock -> Dock Settings -> Audio
I still see the message 'Phone not docked', even though the phone is charging.
Does the phone have to be sync'ing with some software on a PC before it decides it's truly docked? Or does the cradle have some circuitry to deliver a message that tells the phone it is docked? I thought the cradle was simply a charger.

Still out of stock! It says "will be available from 25-th Feb" and now it is already 1st! Quite sad, as there are no other docks around.

Hi,
Where are you ordering the dock from? Is it from oddsandpods.com?
Just googled them and the reviews dont seem very favourable.
Could you please give us some feedback on how their service has been?
Thanks

I've just received information:
"Thank you for your order. Your order has been passed to the warehouse for picking and will be dispatched within 2 days. Should we be unable to send your order on time we will email you to advise of any delay."
When (if) dock arrive, I'll try to post some pictures and write a little bit about service.

Ordered from Odds and Pods on 24th Feb, not received it yet or getting any order updates! really not happy with these guys!

[Q] Rcieved dock with issues, What to do now?

howdy peeps,
I live in Canada and I just received my dock that I purchased from bestdirect.ca. As I opened the box right away I had a bad feeling as the date on the box said 2013.10 (supposedly defective models). it had the usual loose hinge and connection loss upon movement issues . Now, bestdirect.ca has a 15 day return for full refund (customer satisfaction or w.e) policy. What do you guys think I should do? Send for refund? replace with bestdirect? send to asus? What is the best approach for this? Im fairly new to RMA returning procces so I need some advice here. Also, Has anyone received dock with supposedly fixed models? has anyone received the 2013.11 and 2013.12 docks? If so, has the issues actually been fixed? please let us know. thanks for any help!

I would recommend a swap for one that is from batch 2013.11 or later.
When that is not possible then send it back and get money returned.
Then order one later that has proven no problems.

Personally, I'm waiting until we get verification that working docks are being produced, sold, and received by users before I order another one. Mine had problems and I sent it back to Amazon for a refund the very next day.

Yeah, this seems like the best option. Bail out until there's a verified solution. Prices will only go down over time, anyway.

k then that seems to be the way to go. i will ask for the supposedly fixed batch docks, if they cant fulfill that then i will take refund and hold untill confirmed fixed units arrive. Although im still interested to know if anyone has the 2013.11 or 2013.12 batch dock, and if they has fixed the issue in that. other than that, thnx for all the help guys :good:

I have a 2013/09 and it has no issues a bit of movement but it has never lost connectivity
for those that say it will eventually break then fine let it as long as it happens in warranty at least then i will get a replaced dock likely that may not have these issues but i doubt much would change.
till then i`m happily using my tablet with no issues besides asus jp untimely release of 4.3 or better.
still waiting and confirmed not rolling out yet. in fact when speaking to asus about it they didn`t even know if a update was in the works typical call center shenanigans.

See thats what i hate and really cant stand: the wiggling. its absolutely anoyying. i want it to be firm and sturdy with no movement at all, so as though it feels like a mini laptop. i also dont like the click buttons on the track pad. very stiff and hard to press. dammit asus....

Well I hope that from builddate 2013.11 the flexing is much less.
But the quality of the dock can't compare with the quality of the TF700 dock. That was so much better. Sad but I rather pay Euro 50,- more for good quality then what they did now.

[Q] Newer build TF701t docks confirmed defect free?

I've seen posts that newer builds of the keyboard dock would have the connection issues fixed. Has anyone gotten one of these " 2013.11" or later newer build keyboard docks and can confirm it actually has the issues resolved? I'd really like to get the keyboard dock for my tablet, but don't want to deal with the issues of the broken keyboard dock.
So has anyone actually gotten a working keyboard dock from a newer batch?
Thanks!

My friend is getting one for Christmas. Unfortunately that means you'll have to wait until then to get confirmation from me.

I've had two docks now. I got the replacement on December 2. It's funny because I never had a problem with disconnection until I went to write a response to you OP. I can tell you that the second one seemed put together far better than the first, but it still has A LOT of wiggle room in it. It does not dock like the TF201 did. It has no support on the front. That is nice if you use a screen protector like I do, but like I said, it does have issues.
The primary reason I buy these tablets is because of the dock. I really hope Asus does the right thing here. I hated my tf201 because of the extreme lag caused by the i/o controller or whatever, and now this. Kind of a drag.

Was the "build date" number different on the packaging when you got the replacement?
I agree, the primary reason I got this tablet was the real keyboard dock for it. Seemed like a much better solution than the generic bluetooth keyboard docks I see on the internet. It's funny...always heard about the IO issues with this series of tablets...but dock always seemed to be really solid. The one time I actually go buy one...the IO issues are fixed, but the dock is now having issues.

On the transformerforum someone got a tablet with dock with production date 2013.11.
He reports that the flex is nearly absent and it connects more firmly.
Also the connection problem didn't popup.
Good news but now waiting for more people with the same experience.

I received my 6th keyboard a few days ago from Amazon. I was happy to see I finally got one with a manufacture date of 11/2013. I immediately inserted an SD card and tried moving the viewing angled. I did not see the SD card disconnecting and reconnecting so was hopeful.
Last night I noticed that the dock was not charging the tablet. I had to disconnect and replace the tablet in the dock 5 or 6 times before the widget showed the tablet charging.
This morning I tried viewing a video file on the external SD card in the dock. Changing the viewing and repeatedly caused loss of the data connection and the video player to crash.
Fail :crying:
I had the TF101 since it came out and was happy and had none of these problems. I now have had 2 of the tablets and 6 of the docks. I really want the TF701 to work for me but think I need to give up on this device find another option. I might try replacing dock or both dock and tablet again just because I want the tablet/dock combo and I am stubborn.

I got message that Tabletcenter had the TF701 in stock again and I could get a swap.
In the store they showed me the newest batch and it was 2013.10 so now I said keep it buddy and give money back.
So for now no TF701 anymore till it is proven that the problems are solved.
Using the TF700 again.:crying:

I certainly would not accept a dock with October manufacture date. You did the smart thing.

@marcmarshall - how was the flex in the 2013.11 build compared to your previous dock versions?

Not sure what you mean by flex but I have not noticed any obvious slop in the connection on any of them. I really went by performance and did not check closely for that though. I did have to replace a dock with my original TF101 and I learned back then that you want to hear two crisp snaps as the connectors on both sides lock into place. I have been having trouble getting that and even when I do I still get problems. The connection right now feels tight with no obvious slop but I just did another swivel test as I am writing this and the SD card disconnected and reconnected causing a video to crash.

The 11/2013 dock I have now had that kind of flex. I never thought that would effect the connection but maybe it does.

If my repaired dock has that flex I'll be happy - my 2013/10 was far worse than that.

My 2013.10 from ebuyer is similar to the YouTube video. Also I've had no disconnections so far
Guess there is no need for me to do a RMA for the moment.

My TF701 (2013.10) from eBuyer does have flex, but no disconnects as of yet. I've tried various angles.
My guess is that the flex could be to stop the few reported instances of cracked glass (previous generation Transformer Pads).

My TF700 has about that much flex and it doesn't loose any connection with the dock. Maybe the TF701 connection issues arenot completey caused by this flex?

Anyone else getting a notification about a mobile dock update available?

As the topic says, I'm getting a mobile dock firmware update notification, long press on the notification says it comes from Asus Services, so it seems to me to be totally legit and nothing abnormal, but I'm hesitant to do it since I've never on any of my other transformers received such a notification before.
Anyone gotten this? Was it a good update?
Thanks

It's legit. I haven't seen any source code but it fixed the totally messed up battery stats for the dock for me....

Does your dock work fine otherwise? I had the same problem on my first dock (Oct 2013), but the update installed as soon as I connected the second dock (Nov 2013).

It has been working just fine, other then this. My replacement of my first dock which had the disconnect issue, was another from the same batch.
Not looking forward to RMA'ing it, if that's the answer.

So I RMA'd it, as not long after this post the keyboard dock stopped charging, and the update wouldn't go through.
They sent it back to me, still broken. Called them back, I'm getting free shipping to them this time, and it will be "expedited" maybe, and this time, they are going to investigate if it is "unrepairable" ....
Why the hell does a company that can make such great products have to fail so damn hard? Asus is really not doing well with this tablet, and I strongly suspect they need to fire their entire service department.

Dock 2014.04 OK?

User bdsunb on transformerforums.com has received a 2014.04 dated TF701T dock, which he says has no wobble at all (although this is his first TF701 and dock so hasn't got anything to compare it with). See http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...cussion/39673-problems-dock-8.html#post318402
Has anyone here seen this dock?

I have the 2014.04 dock and it has no wobble, clicks in tight and no disconnect issues at all. I got it from B&H, New Egg and Tiger Direct are still selling the 2013.10 units.

That's very encouraging to hear, as I've been dithering whether to buy a TF701 and dock combo for some months.
Does anyone know if it's possible to tell the date of a dock by looking at the dock itself, rather than the box it comes in? Here in the UK the tablet and dock are only sold as a bundle, and I'm worried that, even if the date on the box says 2014.04, that might just be the date that they put the two items in the box, and the dock itself could still be old stock.

It's fine. Mine too was purchased in the UK and the box has two stickers (for both the dock and the tablet). Mine in this case was 2013.11...

I just ordered a dock yesterday and requested one with a 2014.04 build date. I'll report back when I receive it.

I just received one from Amazon. It's a little difficult to get the tablet to fit in firmly but once it does, it stays in place. Only issue I'm running into is that the dock starts charging the tablet when the tablet is less than 90 percent charge. I had the Prime and the Infinity and those didn't begin charging until the tablet reached 70 percent. Is there any way to adjust this or is anyone else dealing with this issue?

I am pretty sure there is no way to adjust this but I am just curious as to why it would matter?
Part of the purpose of the dock is to recharge the tablet, as long as it does this why does it matter when?

Good point. Maybe I'm just used to it taking place closer to the 70 percent stage, which allows the dock to hold on to its battery for a longer period. I find that the dock drains much faster this way, which I'm not toally sure if that affects the battery's long-term life.
---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------
For those who are interested, I got this version of the dock from Amazon seller Galactics. Other than charging the tablet once it hits 90 percent, I've had no issues with it so far.

I've just bought a tablet/dock combo from Amazon UK and for me the outer box only has one sticker on it, with one date.
Unfortunately, it's date 2014.01, so I've decided to return it to Amazon unopened (still sealed), with reason "Incompatible or not useful for intended purpose". It might be fine, but I don't want to risk it - they can sell it to someone else who can give it a go!

I have the 2014.01 and had no problems yet , working smoothly. Only problem yet was a flash when using touchpad after long time.

It's the Fourth of July weekend! I'm wondering and hoping there is a dock out there with a price reduction courtesy of a promo. Wishing. Hoping.

i am ytrying to update the dock but it doesnt upgrade, keep saying try again
anyone know where i can get this file seprrately and manually install

Three weeks ago, I bought from ncix Toronto - Dock 10.2013 - everything is OK - updating firmware,battery charging , plug-in to display ...

I just got the 2014.04 dock. When I first plugged it in, it said it was updating firmware on the dock and then it said it failed updating. Now every time I turn it on, it doesn't try updating again :/ how would I be able to try updating it again?
Also, when the tablet is connected to the dock and draining power from the dock, the dock makes these small tick sounds. I don't know why I would be hearing that though. When I have the dock disconnected and charging, it doesn't make that sound. When they are both connected and charging through the 30 pin charger the dock doesn't make that sound. I really hope I don't have to return it

But aren't the 2014.04 all fixed now of the docking issues? I also found dock connecting problems, which I thought was previously fixed. I contacted the seller and am getting a replacement sent out to me. Why would it still be having issues?

2 people are not enough opinions to say its fixed
Its not and those that say it is are lucky or satisfied with an unsatisfactory product.
