[Q] charging port fit

Anyone else notice that the charging port on the MX is really tight? I feel like I'm going to break it when I'm plugging the cord in.
Edit: just realized I should have posted this in the q&a section. Mods please move if necessary.

Not the slutty type of charging port but her less experienced, more innocent but hotter friend. I just don't want any breakage to occur.

1 year warranty applies. I won't worry about it and am happy that it won't just fall out. The cavernous type aren't appealing either.

It was like this on my phone too, but more than a week on and it is less scary to plug the phone in.

Good dock?

Has anyone found a good dock yet? I found a few on Amazon but none of them are specifically for the g2.

Did you search before starting this thread? I think not. This has been asked several times.
Are you looking for a car dock or one for home? Truth is, there are not very many made specifically for the G2. And the generic ones are pretty much crap in my opinion.

Yeah I did actually but all I could find were threads about a car dock but I'm looking for a home dock.

So when I'm laying in bed or at my desk I can just grab my phone without having to worry about it getting unplugged and looking for the charger, I can simply just set it back on the dock after im done.

I just use a wireless charging pad. I'd imagine the Nexus 4 & 5, and Galaxy s3 and and st docks might work. a centered USB port is really all you need if you're looking for a dock that plugs in

why is this verizon only? the charging port is in the same spot on the other models. I thought the verizon model would use wireless charging. but since this has a port it should technically work for any model right?

I think it is because Verizon's G2 has different dimensions @[email protected]

i read elsewhere on here that the dimensions were not all that different. but still at $40 for a charging dock Ill just get some plexiglass and a heat gun and make my own :laugh:

It's funny how you think $40 is expensive for a dock. Here in Denmark that price makes me want to get two or three x)

Agreed. I paid almost $100 with shipping to get a POGO dock for my GNex. I stream Pandora all day at work so being able to just pick my phone up and go is super convient and not have to worry about the audio plug also.
Just ordered the VZW Dock.

Well 2 things. The dock doesn't do media only charges/data transfer so I still have to manually disconnect the audio plug which kind of sucks.
Secondly I do not know anyone has the G2 other then on VZW. So mail me yours and I will try it out.

[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.

Sent from my superfast Asus Infinity TF701with Dock

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?

Yes you do have to send it back but after you get the replacement. I've done exchanges with them before. They've sent me a replacement but they have to put a charge on the account. If the defective one doesn't come back then they don't remove the charge.

man... to be honest... I completely understand your felling and frustration... even a small imperfection like this can make me crazy too. In my case I always inspect the screen looking for dead pixels (I usually install dead pixels app from the store)... and I have returned many phones because of this. (Including Note 3) In other words... like you mentioned... is your money, and if you are not 100% happy... return it... better live a week or 2 without the Note 4 than a year or more with the problem in your mind every single day...

Just checked my white note 4. The speaker on mine is fine. I'd return it if I were you.

It looks like assembly problem. It appears that your speakers grill sits on top of foam gasket (this would be a reason why it springs back).

Thanks guys. Glad to know it's not on all of them. I don't mind waiting a few days for a replacement. I'm on the phone with them now. But ya, I also hate that I have call if I bought online. And if I buy at a store, it has to be the same type store, meaning if I bought at a corporate store, I have to go another corporate store.
UPDATE: Ok they had to reorder me a new phone (black). It wasn't out of stock so they are going to ship it to me overnight at no charge and will get it on Wednesday. As usual, they are charging me for the new one and will refund the charges on the 1st phone when they receive it back.

Not quite sure how UPS works but with FedEx ground it cannot be changed either once it ships. If it was express then they can switch between next day, 2nd and 3 days.

If you fly overseas I think this size of battery pack you can't take on a flight. So make sure to check if this apply to you.

Definitely too thick to take on a flight - the restrictions make the high capacity power banks not suitable for travel (presumably, that's the point).
