Female micro usb/hdmi... - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was curious if anybody was interested in buying these cables. Both cables would have the corresponding female micro input and the other side would be the corresponding micro male. The reason i ask is if you have a lapdock you are future proofed because motorola likes to make specific accessories for different model phones and likes to charge an excessive premium for these accessories. With these cables you , hopefully, should be able to use lapdock and future lapdocks, if motorola is good on their word, plus you can have your atrix next to your lapdock and be able to use it still. I am thinking maybe used like this you wont need a bluetooth mouse either because you can use screen for the mouse input which is loads better than the touchpad. Micro female cables seem to be hard to come by looking online. I am awaiting an answer from my source to see if these can be had. The minimum order is 1000 of them. I would probably sell these for about $20 shipped in the US if my price is right. Both cables btw. I hope this in right section. Figured it would get the appropiate looks here because it is unique and it is a question. Please post if youre intersted or pm me. If my source comes up good, and there is enough interest i will post back. And yes there would be discount for multiple orders. Dont ask how much. I dont even know how much yet.
Btw, i am getting a lapdock tomorrow to test drive. I am going to measure approximate length needed for this to be useable on right side. I am guessing in the neighborhood of 18-24"/45-60cm. It will be longer than needed if accessorized on the left side of lapdock. I mention this because there will be no custom lengths, colors or whatever. I dont even have any.
I voided my warranty.

well, i just got my quotes. i can do these cheaper than mentioned earlier. i am hoping this might garner some interest, especially for the peeps looking for hdmi mirroring using emulators. i am hoping somebody figures that out too. it'd be nice to play some super nintendo on a lapdock full screen. please respond if interested. i have to order 25 minimum and i only need 4 of each. i can get them posted on ebay also.

PM sent....

can the Atrix be used while in the lapdock? or while connected to it, if its using these cables?
EDIT: oh, mirroring. havent messed with that, wasnt sure the lapdock did that

i don't know. i'm getting lapdock tomorrow. i'm guessing it can be used while in lapdock. i don't know yet if it can be used with cables. that too i'm guessing on. i'm hoping the touchscreen can be used as touchpad like webtop over hdmi hack. and i just found out that motorola fubar'ed photon users by flipping the connections so they can't use the lapdock.

I modded my laptop to fit the photon. I'll try it out, i didnt know there was a hack to enable use while in webtop.
EDIT: stock functions are the volume and power, no other buttons work nor does the screen work. where is the mod for the touchscreen for the atrix? i tried searching but no dice. i wonder if would even work on a photon

Did you ever order these? I am interested in using the AT&T 50.00 Atrix lapdock with a Droid razr and I am guessing that this will be neccesary.

Wondering if you ever ordered them.
I am interested in using the Atrix lapdock available for 50.00 right now with a droid razr, and it I think this might be necessary.

hi,do you still have any left and how does it work?

I'd also be interested in these cables.
Thanks

I'd be interested too....

Very interested. I would like to use phone as webcam since cover blocks front screen.

Any more?
Do you have any more of the cables? I'd like to buy one.

Interesting, I also would be rather interested in purchasing one or two sets of these cables. Would be nice to semi future-proof my lapdock that I purchased for $50.

still selling these cables? I'm interested...I'll send you a PM..

Photon Lapdock IN STOCK only paid $187 @ Sprint Telesales...

Hello All,
I've been lurking around here quite a bit and wanted to share with y'all that the Photon Lapdock is now in stock at Sprint.
If you're a premier customer and purchase an additional accessory (I purchased the least expensive item --- screen protectors) you'll get 25% off of your entire purchase.
My lapdock came out to only $187 and change + tax
Just thought I'd pass on to my fellow forum friends that are saying they're not happy with the $250 price tag.
Just couple it with a cheap accessory and you'll get it for 25% off.
Oh, I also wanted to say that they gave me free expedited shipping. They told me 2-5 business days, however, the rep said I'll likely have it on Tuesday.
OK, so what was your total for both accessories? With tax I still put it at over 200 depending on your taxes. So it comes out to under 20% off....its not bad but not worth it still, and also not worth creating and entire thread over it....
Just my opinion.

Hi ORam,
Please excuse the brevity in my previous post. Had a lot going on at once and wanted to knock out this post or else I wouldn't be able to get to it for awhile.
I paid $187.49 for the Lapdock, $8.99 for the screen protectors. By combining the screen protectors, Sprint knocked off 25% off of the list prices.
I paid a total of $221.23 which includes TAX.
Hope this is helpful to the others because as of earlier today, Motorola's website was still showing that the Lapdock as "Coming Soon."

Woah. Thanks for the heads up, will definitely take advantage of it this week. Do you know if there is an expiration date for this offer, or is it just on going?

Greetings, bpcivicsi:
You're welcome! I've always taken advantage of the 25% deal by buying 2 or more accessories. I included the Lapdock and Screenshield item/product numbers for your convenience.
This deal has been going on for a long time and I haven't heard about it ending. It's better than Verizon's offering because to get the same deal with them, you have to buy 3 accessories.
Accessories Qty Price/Each Total
ZCU1234V-Universal Screen Pro 1 8.99 8.99
MEM4762Q-Motorola Lapdock 2.0 1 187.49 187.49
Should be no more than 150 tops

someone asked where is the accessory and the specs in the Sprint page, well here are the steps to see it in case they haven't figured it out already.
if you go to Sprint.com, sign in or not thats up to you. If signed in, then
select Shop, then Accessories,
in the drop down selector choose Motorola/Sprint, click the Go button
Select Mototola Photon,
in the box of items click on the Data & memory image,
scroll down the page to see the lapdock.
edit: to OP, when you say that at Sprint Telesales, i assume you mean at the store or via phone? When i talked to someone in chat yesterday they said I had to go to the store to get the discount.

Hello twospirits,
I've been trying to purchase at the retail store but unfortunately, the reps at the store keep referring to the web-top dock, they don't know anything about the lapdock.
But i've never had a problem getting the 25% discount via phone call w/Telesales or at the store level.
I didn't know you can purchase accessories via online chat.
I just dialed *2 and placed my order.
Hope this helps.
-H
I called up my usual sprint store and I explained to the CSR that if they had any in stock, even gave the item number right off the website to confirm. She says yes we have ten of them. naturally, I got excited that the item would be in the stores. So i rush out at lunch time all the way to Flushing and when i show them the item print out, they look like they are baffles (once again). As usual they mistook the lapdock for the HD dock.
So I told them that I want it but am afraid it may not reach me in time before my trip and he says most likely the item will be here by Wed if ordered today. So I order it. Got the 25% discount and hope to get a call from Sprint saying its in by Wed.
Strange that they had to do a direct store order and not send it to my home, but eh lets see if it comes in on time. Would hate to go on vacation and come back to find out that they gave it to someone else.
Edit: and yeah the price came out to be $220.08 )$196.49 lapdock, $5.65 screen protector, $9.58 Flushing tax and $7.86 NY tax. man taxes are alot here.

As I stated in the other Lapdock post, until I see some specs (Processor, DASD, Memory, ect.) I will not jump on this. I have a laptop that does this via USB cable.
The lapdock is just a dumb terminal with a keyboard, lcd and a battery to charge the phone and dock. Everything else is run by the phone itself onced dock. Its not a true laptop replacement in the sense. Unless you do the Ubuntu hacks shown elsewhere in these forums and even then it won't replace the laptop fully.

No. This is a chopped down instance of Ubuntu running Webtop, not android in what appears to be a virtual machine.
PhonePortal gets you to the base android.
I'll be holding off until I can pick one up for the $150 range new or maybe a second hand one for cheaper.

You might consider this a novely item. I consider items like this and (hopefully) the forthcoming Asus PadFone to be the first products that use interchangable CPU cycles that will replace desktops for most users over the next 5-10 years.
For what the vast majority of people do the phones will have more than enough horsepower.
There are going to be power users etc that will require more, but I think these next few years will start to see the change take place to where PCs are no longer king.
i agree, I forgot who said it but this is the way of the future. The smartphone will be the mobile pc controlling all sorts of devices.
Add a touchscreen lcd, make the phone the trackpad, add a wireless mouse and since there isn't any more trackpad, replace it with a storage bin to add a internal ssd drive and viola, goodbye laptop for sure.

I haven't heard anything about it for a while. The last I heard they were discontinuing the lapdocks because they weren't as popular as they had hoped.

Do you have a link to that info? There was speculation of the lapdocks being discontinued, but Moto's CEO said that he saw value & product differentiation by having the lapdocks, and planned to stick with them. Nothing about them being discontinued.

I have the Lapdock 100 for my MoPho. It's a very specific use case, but I enjoy the bump in screen size when I'm lying in bed at night watching Netflix, Crackle, Hulu+, and video podcasts. My TV in the bedroom is *just* old enough that it missed the evolution to TV apps. Anyway, I know some would say to just use a laptop, but I don't want to deal with the heat issue with my blankets and stuff. Also, the compactness of the Laptop 100 is just small enough that makes it really easy to set aside when I'm done. I know...I know.....super nichey, but it works for me.
*Side note* -- My wife doesn't get mad at me anymore for "watching TV" while she's trying to sleep.
im looking to buy one. with my job, it would n=be nice having somthing like this

Lapdock 500-photon compatibility issues
I've had the LAPDOCK 500 two weeks,the PHOTON since October.
Here is a list of features that currently DO NOT WORK w/the LAPDOCK-PHOTON combo:
1) ETHERNET
2) WEBCAM
3) SD CARD SLOT
4) VGA OUTPUT
5) Possible USB issues (USB ERROR Icon in notification bar)
6) SOUND (just recently discovered)
I'm running the stock O/S on the PHOTON,no mods to the LAPDOCK 500.
I haven't been on much at XDA at all recently,or postwise,much period.
Been relatively satisfied w/the MO PHO's performance,until I got the LAPDOCK 500.
The compatibility issues were a known issue,except for the lack of sound,which was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.
I've posted in the MOTOROLA FORUMS,but have yet to get any feedback,good or bad,which brings me here to this forum.
If anyone has questions regarding PHOTON-LAPDOCK compatibility issues,or,possible testing of related tricks,tips,etc.....,I'll try to make myself available as possible.All I ask is some patience,regarding time & technical expertise,as the LAPDOCK is my only "computer" & my expertise in modding is limited to rooting & ROM installation on my previous phone,the HUAWEI ASCEND. PM is the best,most timely way of contacting myself w/any inquiries,but,I will be staying tuned in to XDA on a more regular basis from here on out.
call me cheap or whatever but i would buy one for 100. for 200-300 i can get a netbook or notebook. it just seems to me that the product is over priced. when att had the firesale of the atrix lapdock for $50, they sold 10k units. thats def a high interest in lapdocks.
I'm the cheap one,as SPRINT is my sole ISP w/the unlimited smartphone plan.One service serves three needs:Home,phone,& mobile broadband replacement w/the LAPDOCK 500.
The price may seem steep($300),but,it serves my connectivity needs & saves a fair amount of $ per month.The payback w/this set-up is realized in no time.But,if this is more of a curiousity than an everyday tool,I'm sure the price will drop on the LAPDOCK 100/500 as newer tech hits the market, & then you could find a deal on one.
This type of modular connectivity is the sign of things to come(ASUS PADFONE,UBUNTU for ANDROID),etc... and as this technology finds traction in the mainstream,price drops & added features are sure to follow.

UPDATE :
The SD CARD slot & USB ports work,just no audio from the media stored on either.
The audio issue has been identified & a fix is in the works,as is an update to address the other non-functioning features.

I joined when I saw this post but I do not have sufficient posts to to go to the OP. If this is still unsold let me know. Thank-you.
I just got my $149 500 lapdock delivered and can't get it to do anything with my Photon. The webtop won't stay on the screen for more than a few seconds (keeps alternating between a webtop screen and the flashing red moto logo). Is there a certain system update level the Photon needs to be on? I changed the Photon System version to 99.9.9 to prevent auto updates breaking the dockless webtop.

Anyone know the pinout's for the EXTmicro?

Im trying to make a custom cable for something ,
anyways just wondering if anyone knows what the pinout's are.
ive been searching but i cannot find anything on the extmicro, just extmini.
Custom cable no longer needed, lol... but i would still like to find out what the pinouts are. i Might just have to go and investigate myself.
turns out there already is a cable from htc that i was looking for
basically all i wanted was a audio out cable from the extmicro, and it looks like I found one that was for the DINC, and also is for video out but all i really need is audio. I remembered there was a a/v out cable for the dinc and i also remembered the dinc also had the extmicro connection so its bound to work!
I saw a post claiming that the Dinc pinout doesn't apply to the RZ. Doesn't make sense to me, but there it is. Please update this thread with anything you find.

It would be pretty dumb if they made an entirely new extmicro for the newer devices. I'm still going to go ahead and buy it. I'll report back, it would be super handy for two projects I'm trying to do without having to buy two big expensive mhl adapters.

[Q] Will this laptop dock work?

Simple one guys, I know the Razr and the bionic are similar but will this laptop dock work?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/300809366729?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Thanks for any info guys
65 views and no replies.......you buggers better not be buying them all up off ebay on me
I can't really find anything on that model. I looked earlier. They can be found for $49.99 though if you search by the UPC. LOL
When I checked motorola's site to see which dock was used by which phone, the Bionic used a Laptop 100 and the RAZR used a Laptop 500 Pro. So if that tells you anything. There is nothing there about the EW-3005
There isn't a whole bunch out there on it when you google the model number ew-3005 either.
this look like an atrix lapdock i have one these and turned the connectors so they could match the razr (there's a topic about it in this section).So basically it works well with a little mod.
Razr XT910 stock 2.3.4 rom eur
yes, you'll either need to disassemble and flip the connectors or find the little extension cables and then it will work. the cables are really hard to find online though.
Lol. Thanks to googling that keyboard (model ew3005) i now have a card in Google now and keeps showing up in my status bar letting me know that Euro wings flight 3005(EW 3005) from Kiev to Dusseldorf is expected to leave on time today.

btw, i have two Atrix lapdocks, and while the idea is great in theory, and while it is the way of the future, the future isn't here yet, so they sit in a drawer unused. an old NetBook i still have running Linux is far more practical. I expect that apple has this in the works and will show everyone how to do it right, in a year or so, and then everyone will copy them (the next "revolution" in mobile computing ad nauseum). essentially the next MacBook air will have a slot for the iPhone to just slip into and it will "just work" making the lapdock look like the kluge that it is. i recommend you save your money for that, or buy a cheap NetBook.

That is one thing I saw about that dock. It is merely a mirror of the phone. It doesn't run the extended web browser like some other docks.

Thanks for the replay. I was only interested because the cost, but Hearing someone say what I was thinking in the back of my head kind of makes me realize how useless this might be. Play with it for a few days, then it would collect dust.

Well... It depends on how you use the LapDock. For me, it has been amazing since the ICS update bringing along webtop 2.0 which is basically a tablet experience when plugged into the dock. For tasks like browsing on Chrome, chatting, watching YouTube videos, composing a few mails, it really comes in handy. The big screen, the keyboard and the additional battery backup which also charges your phone... what else could you ask for?

OTG USB2 Adapters at Newegg

I've already got a few of these, but anytime I've asked about them or seen people post links, it's always on Amazon. Many of the ones with cheap pricing have to be shipped from Asia.
Personally I'd rather pay newegg twice as much on something like this than buy it from Amazon. The Egg just has a special place in my heart, we've been through a lot together. When I stumbled across them at Newegg I thought to myself "How did I not find some to order from newegg back when I was shopping for them."
If you're like me maybe I'll save you some trouble. Here's the link.

The DNA has sOTG functionality stock out of the box. Just use a file explorer like Astro file manager and you should be good to go. If it doesn't work, it's the adapter and not the phone. They're kind of hit or miss, but I will tell you it's rare to get one that doesn't work or doesn't work with some devices, it's just that when one doesn't work people make a lot of noise and it seems like a big problem. I bought two different styles (the two really popular ones) in case one didn't work, but both work great.
Actually I've heard that the DNA stock will also host over OTG. Haven't tried it myself, but people report using USB keyboards that work unrooted.
