Does anone know of a keyboard shortcut to do this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
As far as I can see, there is no such thing. This and the lack of accidental touch filtering on the trackpad are the only negatives that I've found in the dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmeehl:
The "function" key to disable the touchpad works wonders.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
Have you guys tried holding down the home key on the keyboard?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmeehl:
Yes. No dice.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
FN+ Home? Maybe shoot an email to asus and see if it's something they will add, or is super hidden.

Not sure on the status of this for most ppl, but I've read about alot of trouble tethering to your phone. Just wanted to say that tethering to miui running on my phone worked out of the box, no root, no additional settings, just start miui tethering, and the tablet picked it up immediately

:) hope this helps some of you

when i'm at home using the Trans hooked up to my home wifi. Is the locaton based off of the wifi or my android phone?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
I believe it's from your home wifi, at least mine is. I think I enabled the option within google.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rehughe:
Doesn't the tranny have GPS built in?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E46M3:
hmm.. so what happens if your trans is at home idling and you're out with your phone and your friends have you on their latitude? which one does it pick up?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vadimus_ca:
It does.

Funny thing, Viewsonic gtablet had neither GPS nor GSM positioning yet is was capable of getting exact location if tethered to Nexus One!

I will try if this still works with TF (positioning with GPS off).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
Good point, this has happened to me before and latitude showed me as being at home when someone was using my pc. You'd expect latitude to use the location from whichever device used the service last, at least I would expect that :-P

I forgot all about the gps, I don't usually enable it with latitude.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cl191:
If I remember right, the GPS coordinates are actually embedded in the wifi signal on some GPS enabled wifi devices like the MiFi devices. So I won't be surprised if the phones are doing something similar when you tether to them too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrayAdjacent:
I'm pretty sure my WiFi AP that I bought in 2003 doesn't have GPS or anything of the sort in it. Haven't tethered to my Droid X yet either. Yet when I pull up Maps at home or at work, Google knows where I am.

I believe they've gathered enough data from devices that have location services and WiFi enabled to have a bit of a database of what WiFi network is located where. That's not a bad thing, I'm just sayin that Google can generally know where you are based on what WiFi network you're connected to.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumbleweed:
there is an online lookup service for gps coords for wifi routers. It is user modifiyable . Some how the coords of my router got corruptted and I had to go in and correct them when you location services based on router, the app goes to the lookup site and gets the coords. If not in database, wil not locate
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lionclaw:
If this is the case, I'd love to see some references.

Here's my understanding - Android devices generally have 3 ways of locating themselves.

One is cell tower triangulation. It is the least accurate, but has the best chance of providing a location so long as the device has cell signal.

Another is WiFi signal triangulation. Google devices (and Google streetview cars) collect data about nearby WiFi networks and send that data back to Google along with the coordinates where it was found (aka, all of the news story lately about apple and Google tracking people). If your device needs to know where it is, it can tell Google what WiFi SSIDs it detects and the Google servers tell the device where it thinks it is. This method is much more accurate than cell triangulation.

Lastly, there's GPS. It is the most accurate, but only works if your device has line of sight to the sky. It usually works near Windows as well.

If you go into settings>location on your device you can enable/disable cell, wifi, or GPS location. On my phone cell and wifi triangulation are lumped under "use wireless networks".
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipulaski:
so tje navigation system is prety much useless on transfo when you are out on the road with no wifi? something dont sound right, or am i missing it altohether?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
I believe this has already been answered in another thread, but: if you have navigation software that loads maps locally (e.g., CoPilot), then you can use the TF without a wifi signal. Also, if you create a route using Google Navigation, it will cache your route and as long as you don't deviate from it too greatly (to where it would require update information) then you could also use that without wifi.

In short, the TF has a GPS capable of standalone use, but requires mapping data to perform navigation.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
Not to mention every other tablet or cellphone is equally useless without a data connection unless you have, as noted above, locally stored mapping software installed or a cached GM route. It's not a Transformer issue, it's a non-dedicated GPS device issue.

Hi everyone, Im new on this forum.

Im experiencing more or less the same problem.

Issues with Installing CM9 (ICS) Paranoid Andriod and WIUI v4 (ICS)

below a list of the phone's info/specs:

Phone: LG P990

Android Version: 2.3.4.

Basebandversion: 1035.21_20110725

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9

Build: GRJ23

LGE version: LGP990-V20r

I have rooted my phone using SuperOneClick v2.3.3.0, my phone was rooted succesfull, after that I gained superuser access to my phone. Checked it by downloading Root Checker Basic, which was also positive.

Downloaded Rom manager with CWM v5.0.2.0, made a recovery flash having the same version. I manually rebooted my phone, followed several

tutorials doing the full wipe, clearing cache partition and wiping Dalvik Cache. After that I selected 'choose zip from interal sdcard'

As soon as I select my zip the following happens:

-- Installing /emmc/ROM/WIUI_v4_S2_2_8_10.zip

Finding update package...

Getting my 32GB today via TigerDirect. Hoping to get a kb dock soon.

For those that have both... what configuration do you use the most? What percentage?

Do you store them connected or separately? If separate, how do you store them? (2 sleeves, 2 cases etc etc)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
During the day at work, I use mine as a notebook, i.e., tablet docked and plugged into A/C and with a USB mouse. When I go to meetings, I undock and take the tablet for short notes (and keep in notebook mode if I think I'll be taking extensive notes). At night, I undock and put into the Asus sleeve for use around the house. Then, when the family's asleep and it's time for writing, I dock and use until I'm done writing. I then plug it into A/C to charge the tablet and dock, and rinse/repeat the next day.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleclair:
I use mine NEVER. It doesn't work. :p

Waiting on the fix. E-mailed the Asus guy, no update for mine yet.

Anyway, they fit together very well and I got a 10.1 netbook sleeve when I bought it from TigerDirect.

Everything fits in there pretty good.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetfann:
95% of the time it's in the dock. The only time I take it out is to play games. I, personally, don't see how anyone would enjoy using it for other stuff without the dock. To me, tablets are awkward to hold and to type on. The dock provides a more natural viewing angle and you can just sit it on a desk or in bed and still see the screen without holding it. Also, with the dock having a battery that nearly doubles the battery life of the TF and the shortcut keys and the trackpad gestures, etc..., I really feel like I "need" the keyboard and not just "want" to have it.

I did get the firmware update yesterday and no longer have the keyboard freezing issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omguss:
For any sort of productivity (read: emails and document creation) I use the keyboard. Most of the day I keep it docked. I actually use the dock as a means to charge the device. When I'm heading to bed, I take the tablet alone and use it to browse the web and watch some shows on it. It's much easier and more convenient w/o the dock when in bed. At this point, I usually keep the dock plugged into the wall to recharge overnight. This way, when I dock it in the morning, the dock charges the tablet. The cable as it is is way too short for my liking to charge my tablet overnight. I'd have to get out of bed to plug it in as opposed to just putting it on my night table.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbyter:
Mine stays in the dock by default. I pull it out periodically to do portrait mode type stuff, but it usually ends up back in the dock shortly after. Yesterday I tried putting it in the sleeve and just using the tablet. Not as useful, but I also had out the big laptop for doing work and I didn't need a netbook.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elacris:
If you always keep it docked, why not buy a netbook instead?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viking099:
Because then you'd have a netbook instead of a tablet+keyboard?

I keep mine docked most of the time, but that's because I like how it's more protected when it's closed up. When I want to read or just browse around, 2/3 of the time I'm undocked.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curti.nogg:
I dock it for class to take notes and if it needs a charge.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Clark:
An Android glass touchscreen netbook for £430?

With the option of turning it into a tablet whenever needed?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharpfork:
I keep mine docked most of the time and I still use the touchscreen quite often. I don't use the trackpad much so I disable it most of the time. I use the keyboard a ton. I now find myself reaching for the screen on my work provided macbook pro 3 or 4 times a day.

I had a netbook and tried it with XP and OSX as a hackintosh and I wasn't too happy with the touchpad or keyboard as the only input devices. Compared to a full size laptop keyboard the transformer is not so hot. Compared to the onscreen keyboard of a tablet it kicks ass.

I really think this device has hit a sweet spot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetfann:
That's funny about reaching for the screen on your Mac. I find myself doing the same thing on my Sony notebook. I never knew how useful having 3 input methods on a computer could be until the TF. I use the touchscreen mostly for selecting stuff on screen, I use the keyboard for typing and shortcutting to apps and I use the trackpad for scrolling mostly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetfann:
Frankly, I'm bored with Windows and wanted something different, faster and less prone to viruses, but I didn't want to give up the convenience of having a keyboard. Plus I have an evo 4g and like Android, so having access to the Android Market on a device with a keyboard and a large ips screen hit a sweet spot for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] int_19h:
Have been using it for 5 hours so far, and most of that has been with the dock. I see this being the default mode in the future. That's also pretty much what I expected - I post online almost as much as I read, so having keyboard there is very handy.

Because there are no netbooks out there with 15-hour battery life and an IPS screen. And the fact that I can use it as a tablet when that is more convenient (e.g. to read stuff, or to play Angry Birds) is a very nice feature to have, as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elacris:
Great answers.

I could have asked "Why is the TF better the Xoom/Acer/Galaxy Tab 10.1" and I would probably get the same answers :-) The new Galaxy Tab 10.1 looks cool, but TF + dock is a better deal.

Is there a particular reason I dont see notifications in my status bar at the bottom? I see them when I click on the clock, but their icons don't appear beside it..

I know they were there when I had my Xoom. Is this a setting, or did Asus omit it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:
I see greyed icons for things like downloads and the icon for juicedefender. Is that what you mean? I didn't enable anything to have them show.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HideYoKids:
Yes, that's what I mean.. to the left of my clock there is nothing.. ever. Except the back, home and other apps buttons..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleclair:

This makes total sense to me since I've been on the leaked radios since they came out and had not one random reboot running about 6 or 7 different ROM's and a whole host of different kernels. I think it was related to the tower software needing to be updated (also makes sense why my LTE at work came back so much faster than my LTE at home...work serves a lot more customers than my home tower.)

ps: a "4 corner mini docks" instead of the 5-keys-dock-bar for go launcher ex would be greeeaaaaaaaatt!!! :)
