Use a proxy website to access the invite page, it's then just a matter of waiting, mine took around a week!

Nope, did it on my laptop, I've only got a transformer and a UK Wildfire linked to the account, I registered on the night of the announcement though, they are probably giving them out in chunks.

Hi,

I'm from the Netherlands and i own a Asus Transformer (running 3.2 custom rom by Revolver).

I recently got my self a Music Beta account by using a tutorial to get an account when living outside the USA. (proxy method)

I also waited around one week and got it. I have uploaded more than 8000 songs and got it working on the 3.2 rom.

I must say that the 3.2 Revolver rom got the right version of the Google Music player. The stock 3.1 rom did not.

But after a quick google search if found the latest version of the apk. Then it also worked on the stock 3.1 rom.

Ones you get all your music on the account and got the player synchronising with the account, man it's the best!!

I use Music beta on my desktop with my browser and on the tablet it is even better working. And it looks amazing.

So get your account and enjoy the streaming of your own music.

Greetings, Pigs

My TF pad charges just fine, so there is not any problem with the charger. However, the dock does not charge at all. Even after 12 hours plugged into the wall with the unit turned off, the orange light is still flashing when I boot up. This might be a problem with the firmware. I am running:

HRI66.US_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511

I read somewhere that I should reflash the firmware. I have downloaded this version of the firmware onto a USB drive and the TF recognizes it but will not open the zip file.

What are the steps required to reinstall this firmware? Does anyone know of any other ways to fix the charging problem? The ASUS support site is nearly worthless. I humbly apologize in advance for my ignorance and thank anyone who responds.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alextamulis:
that is the Build Number, and mine is the same and I updated everything correctly so it looks like you have the most updated version.

My MobileDock version is EP101-0209

It might be an issue with the dock charger, a hardware issue, the battery may have stopped working, we never know...

if it's a firmware issue, give Asus CS a call and ask them what to do next or how to properly install it.

I had the same issue and had to unplug and wait, switched outlets and it's fine now.

There is definetely something wrong.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pacifik:
Maybe it's designed to fully charge the tablet first then start topping off the dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pogul:
I had the same issue - constant flashing orange led no matter what configuration I tried.. TF docked, TF not docked, TF docked powered on, TF docked power off, change outlets, let it sit for hours and hours (over 24 at one point) etc etc

Nothing worked.

And like yours, my TF always charged - whether docked or not.

Called Asus - w/o even asking any questions they just directed me to the RMA dept.

Instead I just returned it to Amazon and then waited until I could order another one. It took nearly a week, but they finally came back in stock on Amazon (for an hour) and I ordered another.

It should be here Wednesday, so by then I'll know FOR SURE whether it was the first dock that was bad - or if it's my charger / cable.

I'll post back once the new one gets here..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nv88:
My keyboard is waiting for UPS pickup for a Newegg RMA. The keyboard is deactivated at Newegg now. I'm wondering if they will wait for more stock or give me a refund. I'm just glad I still have the tablet.

Does anyone know how widespread the dock charging problem is, and if newer units have any changes to fix this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downwiththebanksters:
The docks were scarce here in Taiwan, still are. That must be an indication something is rotten in Denmark and Asus knows and are working on it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pogul:
Updating from my earlier post: My new keyboard / dock arrived yesterday. When I plugged it in, the LED was solid orange (ironically, this LED looks a lot more "red" whereas on my other dock it was definitely "orange").

I charged it for 8 hours and the LED turned green during the charging time.

So at this point I can definitely say that it was the dock that went bad and would not charge - as opposed to the charger being bad.

I would advise just returning your dock to the place of purchase if it's no longer charging.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumbleweed:
Be interesting to see if those having charging problems with the dock have an orange or red led. I have had no issues, but my led definitely looks red. When the charger is charging, it gets very warm (hot). If your dock has been plugged into the charger for more than 20 mins and the charger is not very warm, it probably isn't charging.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pogul:
Just wanted to update my previous post (2 up) because now my second dock is dead.

Under normal usage everything would worked fine - the battery would drain and then charge - no problems at all.

HOWEVER - There appears to be BIG problem with these docks and I feel this is what is causing (or contributing to) my docks dying. These things have a constant drain on them when the Transformer tablet is attached - even if you power the tablet OFF.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112835

I believe what is happening in my case is that the dock battery drains to a point where it will no longer accept a charge. In both cases, I had the tablet docked to the keyboard - powered OFF - and did not use it for a week or so. When I went to power it on, the tablet/dock had just enough juice to tell me that the battery was very low (I believe around 1%) and that it needed to be charged - and then it shut down.

OK, fine, no problem. I plugged it in to charge and left it.

The tablet charged up to 100% with no issues, however 72 hours later and again I have a keyboard dock with a constant blinking orange LED that will not charge. Again, I tried charging it with the tablet attached and without - no change. The adapter doesn't even heat up when trying to charge which again tells me that something in the battery on the dock is not accepting the charge.

Looks like this one will be going back to Amazon as well. I'll also contact Asus regarding the issue and will report back what I hear.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RSY42:
Hello,

I Have the same behaviour,everything were fine until I unplug the dock during several days and the charge was down at 0%.

Now, I 'm unable to charge the dock with or without the tablet plugged :mad:

I hope that it's only a firmware issue.....................
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pogul:
Sorry to hear it, but thanks for letting us know.

I have a bad feeling that this is an issue that is going to end up biting MANY users after their return period has expired. It seems that the huge majority of TF owners use their tablets / docks nearly every day - if not daily - so they won't run into this problem.

I'm concerned that after a month or so and some of the excitement has worn off, and they put their TF/dock away for several days suddenly their dock will be rendered useless (at least as far as the extra battery goes).

I've just sent a note off to Asus (per their request from my Amazon review) and I'll let you know what I hear back.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RSY42:

thanks you for your action !! and to keep us informed.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indie13:
gents,

just wanted to add my possible fix for this issue.

I had this probem and my dock would not charge. Somehow i got it working again. Here are the steps i took, not sure what fixed it in the end but you could try and replicate and see how you get on.

1. I went to charge my keyboard on its own. I left it charging for hours and it was still flashing red.

2. docked the keyboard and the power widgets showed no juice within the dock althought it worked as a keyboard.

3. I plugged the power in the dock while docked and on. It showed that it was charging the tablet but not the dock. The dock stayed at 0%.

4. I left the two charging while on for a few hours. The tablet was now showing as charged but nothing still in the dock. I then shut down the device with a turn off but left the power and the dock in. As i shut down the light on the side went to solid red and stayed solid red while the device was off.

5. I left the device off but with the charger in the docked keyboard for about 10 minutes. I then turned the device on while docked and still charging. When the device turned on the battery widgets showed the dock with 35% charge. i left the device alone for a while on and dokced and charging and after about 10 minutes the dock charge started going up. I left the dock charge while the on the tablet was on and docked until the dock was charged to 100%. I then turned the tablet off. took the charger out and undocked. Turned the tablet on while on its own. Then docked it with the dock with no charger in and da daaar the keyboard showed 100% charge and was working......yea!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewklau:
This is what I figured out, not sure if it's actually true but whenever I did some huge data transfer from the datacable computer --> tablet afterwards it wouldn't charge... so I had to leave it unplugged for over 6 hours adapater and cable, then tried again and it works... still going to go visit the local asus warranty center sigh.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_does:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstsang712:
I had the same issue too. I had charged the docking alone for 2D1N and the light was still orange. I downloaded the battery widget and found that the docking had never been charged up. I also thought that the docking would be charged after the pad was full but I was wrong. Finally, I went to the shop to try another docking with my pad. Once they were plugged to the charger, both pad and the docking started to charge. So, the shop replaced the docking for me immediately.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nik4o77:
Hi all there....!

I'm here because of the same problem-yesterday i try to charge the dock(after 10 days w/o charge) and found that the charger is cold after 1.5 hour and the red light just blinkin ......

Hmm,after reading this thread think that maybe the problem is really global
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psycosonic:
I'm having the same problems.... once dock battery goes down to 0%... it won't charge again... :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bob Smith42:
Mine stopped charging too. It was at 3% and I plugged it in overnight and nothing happened - no charge. It might have happened because I shut down my tablet at 3%, rather than leave it standby.

I started the tablet and while running and charging it went up to 6%. Next I closed the tablet and dock and the dock did not charge for the next hour at 6%. I opened up the tablet, running and charging, and now the dock is at 88%. This is on my dock with the reed switch mod, that opens SW1001 when closed. Very strange, because normally the charging cable will override the reed switch mod and charge both the tablet and dock.

I will have to test further.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czm:
I'm now having the same issue. The dock will not accept a charge. The battery meter doesn't even seem to recognise that there is a batter in the dock - it just shows n/a rather than 0%. Think I am going to have to rma it as I bought it directly from asus. Does anyone know if reflashing the dock firmware might make any difference?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indie13:
No i dont think it will mke a difference and not sure you could even if you wanted to. We have seen people recover from this so try some of things that the others on here have done and i'm sure it will come back to life. take a look at my last post on this thread. good luck

****, add me to the list... I had left my TF in the dock unplugged as I have been trying to figure out what is going on with my battery drainage (table/dock connected in standby w/o use is 28hrs). I checked it last night and noticed my battery level was at 8% tablet 3% dock so I plugged it in to charge it overnight. This morning the dual battery read 100% tablet n/a dock and the light on the dock is blinking.. I have some light leakage, and I have tolerated that, battery drain has been unacceptable and I have tolerated, now the freaking dock won't charge!?!? WTF I am very pissed off that I am having all of these issues on a $550 device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paw3lk:
I bought mine from Comet (UK) and wanted to return for the same reason but they wanted to keep the tablet as well, so I returned the dock alone to Asus. They have had it for 2 weeks now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jobryan26:
This is odd.. I left my dock/keyboard sitting undocked and unplugged for about 30min, then plugged in the dock, got a solid charge light, docked my tablet and got a reading of 46% on the dock. Now it's charging again and my situation seemed to have nothing to do with the dock not having battery capacity. There is a firmware issue with these docks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooklynite:
Just opened my keyboard yesterday plugged it in all night with the tablet on it. Got up in the morning tablet was 100% charged and keyboard was at 33% (using the battery gadget). I have tried all day trying to charge it to no avail, tried with tablet on, tablet off, tablet 100% charged on the dock and tablet 80% charged on the dock. Rebooted the combo with tablet on the dock (power button vol down no wipe). No help.

I even got the DOCK FIRMWARE update this morning but still no help.

Bestbuy has 14 day return on these it sucks I have 3 days left, I did have the tablet to try the keyboard with.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooklynite:
By the way I check and uncheck the new battery saving mode ASUS implemented and it does NOTHING. Either way the dock does not charge and either way touching anything on the dock wakes up the combo.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooklynite:
Ok, I changed the dock at Bestbuy Store for another one. Both B50s. The new one has a higher serial number however ending with 0027xxx (the older one was 0018xxx). This one DOES CHARGE but still the battery saving mode doesnt do anything. Left the tablet on the dock overnight and the dock is empty in the morning and has also started to use the tablet battery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elzbieta:
WHen exchanging, I would look for a B6 or better.. B7 dock only.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooklynite:
Bestbuy in my area (West Hollywood) only had B50 docks (5 of them) I picked the one with highest serial number. This one charges but doesnt turn off the "feature" so battery still drains unfortunately.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeRo1985:
I have the same issue or better a another similar issue. See followed screenshot:

The keyboard dock is blinking/flashing red, where the tablet is charged already full, and where the battery state of the dock will stay most always stuck at 0% but sometimes with 100% for a half second and then immediately (a half second later or so) at 0% again.

And it seems, that i've the issue since the upgrade from 3.1 to 3.2 (of course I've tried a full-wipe already), but I'm not sure due to this.

I've a B50 tablet with Android 3.2 stock and a B60 tablet with 0209 firmware.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josdehaes:
I also have this problem since I tried the 3.2 (Prime 1.7 beta). I downgraded back to Prime 1.6, but dock still won't charge. I'm going to have it replaced.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gig11gs:
add me to the list B6 dock 209 firmware
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orgasmatrond:
Here's another one. But to me, it seems that it is more a problem with the 0209 fw (which is the one on my dock) rather than a revision version issue, as my dock is b80, and after reading this thread, I've seen people mention everything from b50 to b70, but seems that most are running 0209.

I've got a solid red light, which is allways there, except when it is unplugged and undocked at the same time. Dual battery widget says n/a for the dock, but actually puts a charging icon on the dock battery when i connect it to a charger. Still it's stuck on 0%. I've tried most of the alledged fixes in this thread, but so far nothing seems to work, so I reckon i gotta send it back.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] depulle87:

Mine does exactly the same thing. Haven't used the dock for about a week and its completely drained.

On Prime 2.0.2 and dock firmware is up to date. Tablet charges just fine so no issues with the charger. Have left dock plugged in over night.

Does this mean I've got to send it to ASUS?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AustinMartin:
Ugh. This just happened to me as well, after owning the dock/tablet for 6 months.

Did you guys contact ASUS? It seems like a very poor design to have the battery die if it gets down to 0%.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yorkey:
Doesnt seem like this has been suggested in this thread unless I missed it in my quick read through. But my dock went to 0% last weekend when I forgot to undock during a trip...

I couldnt get the dock to charge at all, with or without the tablet, until I tried a standard 5v USB charger. It didnt look like it was charging, i.e. no flashing led, but when I checked in the morning by plugging in the tablet (about 9 hours later!) the dock had charged to 100% and its been charging fine since.

Not sure if its significant, but I know the charger has the USB data pins shorted together because I shorted them so my phone would charge :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AustinMartin:
I tried this with a phone usb charger, for 10 minutes. Plugging the tablet back into the dock, it shows 96% charge. It seems that the battery wasn't dead, just the communication between it and the tablet.

Thanks!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankc123:
Well i am pretty sure the tablet charges first, atleast from what i have seen on mine. I have seen where other people had the same problem. Unfortunately i havent found any quick-fix for this issue. If your TF is docked and the charger is connected and the tablet charges only. Then i would lean more towards a hardware fault. If possible use the warranty to have it fixed. Other then that it would be very hard for someone if you dont have alot of experience fixing electronics to repair it physically.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AustinMartin:
You can charge the dock without the tablet. I did that overnight, but when the tablet was docked, the dock still showed 0%. I followed the advice of yorkey, and plugged just the dock into a regular usb charger(was a motorola phone charger). It didn't show that it was charging at all, but after 10 minutes, I plugged the tablet back into the dock, and it registered that the dock was at 96%.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alan873:
How did you guys use a phone charger for the dock with its proprietary connector? Or do you mean you used the same cable, just replaced the AC-->USB 'block' with one from a phone?
