Help I just got an OTA dock firmware update!

It adds a 'power saving' option in Settings that is supposed to prevent the tablet from being woken during a keypress on the kb - meaning that you must press the power button on the tablet to wake it up. The new option only works on newer batches of the kb dock. Doesn't work w/ older docks like mine. Also doesn't do anything to stop the battery drain issue w/ the kb docks.

That's interesting...I just got mine this week and one of the things Ive been trying to figure out is how to "wake" the tablet while it's docked, using the keypad. Only way I found is to press the power button. So I'm guessin thats the way it is?
