[Motorola Droid 3] tbdombrosky:
I got one of the Bionic docks in the $59 deal as well. It arrived today and the connectors do need to be flipped around. While the lapdock's native resolution is 1366x768, the Droid 3 will only output at 960x540. I'm hoping to use it with an RDP app, but none of the RDP apps work well with it.

Let me know if there are any questions on the functionality.
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
Do the keyboard and mouse work? I have a Atrix 4G one that I got from ebay for $59 sitting new in the box.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Chris:
Why would the D3 only have an out put of 960x540? Can't it produce 1080p out on that HDMI connector?
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
It outputs at 1080p, or at least my TV reports it as that but it looks like its just an upconverted 950x540 picture, since its duplicating the phone's screen. What would be nice is an option to have HDMI only (the phone screen is off) so it could actually produce a real 1920x1080 display, the hardware should be capable.
[Motorola Droid 3] prop7459:
I pretty sure the D3 only outputs above 960x540 when you are playing a video only. I wonder if we can mod the D3 so it can always output to 1080p.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Chris:
OK, so my $59 Atrix Lapdock showed up a few minutes ago. I opened up the carrier dock and flipped around the connectors. The dock needs to be dremelled a little bit, but once it's plugged in, the video is mirrored and the touchpad and keyboard function normally. It's just like an Android powered laptop at this point, with a 3G connection. Need to dig around for the webtop/lapdock app now and see if that's something I should care about. The resolution looks to be exactly the same as the phone, for now. I'm thinking a little hack could get the resolution upped.

Stay tuned.
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
Thanks, the Motorola Gingerbread webtop app hasn't been ported because of RAM limitations. The Ubuntu on Android project is claiming 512MB as a minimum and will be released open source eventually so their is hope of running that someday if someone can port it. It requires no kernel modifications and runs on top of Android so it should be possible.

I will probably mod my Atrix 4G lapdock at some point.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Chris:
That's kind of what I was seeing, too. There appears to be other webtop-ish like apps on the market that do things when you plug them into HDMI. Researching them now.

But yeah, the Ubuntu on Android looks to be badass!
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
so, let me see if i get this right.

lapdock 100 works fine, and at lapdock for atrix/bionic i need to flip around the connectors?

or is the same flip for any lapdocks?

(can i get a more detailed explanation of how to flip what? )

thank you.

i am thinking of buying this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Bion..._1_4?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334727926&sr=1-4
[Motorola Droid 3] The Chris:
The HDMI and USB connectors need to be flipped. It's easy to do, just flip up the phone dock, locate the two little black circular stickers, remove them and unscrew the screws underneath. Then, the phone dock pops open to reveal the USB and HDMI connectors. Unscrew the bracket holding them in place, flip them over, and put the bracket back on. The HDMI plug is a little bit tricky, but it works. Then, you will have to shave down the left side of where the phone sits so it can fully dock.

Good luck!
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
so that (from the link) lapdock will work fine when flipping the connectors?

i am hesitating between these two

http://www.amazon.com/AT-Laptop-Doc...f=dp_return_2?ie=UTF8&n=2335752011&s=wireless

and

http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Bion..._1_4?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334727926&sr=1-4

, but i thing the second one is better..
[Motorola Droid 3] The Chris:
It looks like they are both the same thing, except for the shape of the dock. It's a little plastic piece that pops out and it shapes to the phone (Atrix 4G or Droid Bionic) and the ports might be flipped from one to the other. Go with the cheaper one.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
thanks!

at the one from At&T is says this:

(Note: The Motorola Lapdock requires the separately available Motorola ATRIX 4G, and an AT&T 4 GB DataPro with Tethering plan is required to use the Lapdock with your ATRIX 4G.)

is this valide only for use in US, or general valide?

i know that when i used to connect my stock D3 to PC, it opened a webpage from Verizon...and i was thinking not to be b,locked the access from AT&T...just like D3 was with verizon...
[Motorola Droid 3] TNSandman:
Atrix dock for 69.99

Head over to bensoutlet dotcom. they also have the Bionic dock for 20 bucks more.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
there is a sale on motorola store, where lapdock for ATRIX 4G is $99

http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/U...ries/Docking-Stations/Atrix-Laptop-Dock-US-EN

will it work on D3? thanks

i mean, the thickness, and all the physical details will allow the d3 to fit the lapdock?
[Motorola Droid 3] The Chris:
Check out one of my previous posts. You will need to flip the connectors, and the D3 won't lay correctly in the cradle without some "persuasion". Other than that, it will work. It gives you mouse and keyboard with HDMI mirror. Until Lapdock app is ported to D3 or Ubuntu for Android is released, you don't get the extra functionality.
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
So I finally got this thing modded for my Droid 3. Basically what I did was cut a larger hole where the microHDMI and microUSB connectors are so they could be reversed and pushed up higher. I then plugged them into my Droid 3 while I screwed the bracket down so they were held in the correct positioning. I also have to leave the little cover that snaps on the dock off. But overall it was a success.

I finally got some time to really test the features on this thing. USB host seems to be working pretty well, and USB flash drives are working, see attachment. There is even a notification bar prompt for opening the stock Files program and ejecting. In Root Explorer, etc flash drives were mounted as "/mnt/usbdisk_1.6" or "/mnt/usbdisk_1.7" depending on the port you use. I'm guessing 0-5 are reserved for other internal USB devices like the dock keyboard and mouse.

3 Apps I'd recommend while using this lapdock are Dock Nothingness, Rotation Locker and Null Keyboard. Dock Nothingness will prevent programs from launching when you dock your Droid 3, for me Tunein radio kept popping up. Rotation Locker allows you to force the screen to stay in Landscape as some apps will make it go back to portrait without it. Null Keyboard is a keyboard that is nothing. Set it as your default and you'll get no keyboard popping up, but you'll have to remember to switch it back afterwards, or you could try Dock Keyboard Switcher.

If you hear a crackling noise for a split second when you dock, don't freak out. Its just the audio amplifier on the dock starting up. Also if the keyboard and mouse don't want to work, shut the lid and wait a few seconds, then reopen it and it should work.
[Motorola Droid 3] phonephoenix:
Is ICS going to cause a problem when connecting to the dock?

I can't play my music through my car radio with ICS so would I need to go back to GB?
[Motorola Droid 3] TNSandman:
Order mine from bensoutlet

Eagerly awaiting its arrival. Thanks for the good post spunker88.
[Motorola Droid 3] TNSandman:
My lapdick experience

I received my Atrix dock and really like it so far. I had to do quite a bit of trimming on the plastic dock to make the D3 sit properly and make a reliable connection. It works well and I really like it. Played with it for about a day now, Netflix is nice on bigger screen,texting is good, Angry Birds is good. I also like that it charges the phone battery.

All in all it took about an hour of plastic trimming and test fitting. I added one item as peace of mind for myself. Once the phone is docked I have a black Velcro cable tie a wrap around the phone and dock connector so I can move and not be to worried about the phone falling or the connectors being subjected to more stress than needed.
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
I played around with this a title more today testing out keyboard shortcuts.

If you press Fn + F4 (4) it will shut off the screen on both the lapdock and the Droid, its basically the equivalent of pressing the power button. Ctrl + Alt + Del (Fn + Backspace) will reboot the phone. Ctrl brings up settings, Esc will work similar to the back button IIRC, and Fn + Home works as a home button.

The speakers will work even with the lid closed so the lapdock can be used like an audiodock. They aren't the best sounding since they are small, but still an improvement over the little built in speaker and since there are 2 of them on the dock you get stereo.

Remote RDP is a nice Android app that supports mouse input and works using the lapdock, meaning right click and left click work and you only see one cursor, but you'll have to configure this in the options. Unfortunately you are limited to using 960x540, even though the lapdock screen can do more you are limited to the Droid 3's resolution since its being mirrored.
[Motorola Droid 3] husker_fan:
I ordered one from bens outlet too. I trimmed it and flipped connectors, but the keyboard and mouse and speakers don't work.

I see the battery indicator does not show charging when it is docked, possibly an issue with the usb?

Is there something I need to do to get it to work?
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
Are you running stock 2.3.4? You may have issues with 3rd party ROMs especially ICS.
[Motorola Droid 3] husker_fan:
Completely stock, just got the new update the other day

Probably defective unit, I will stick with Amazon next time, free shipping isn't worth the hassle of this waste of time.
[Motorola Droid 3] p0tt5:
steal of a deal!

Hey guys, been following this thread hoping that there will be some magic solution to enable the full real deal webtop on the D3, and came across this:

www(dot)all4cellular(dot)com/product/motorola-atrix-4g-laptop-dock-hdmi-upgrade-kit(dot)html

seems like a really reasonable price and you don't "have" to mod the dock.
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
That isn't a bad price, Ive seen the cables sold by themselves before but they wanted over $20 just for the cables.

The advantage of modding the lapdock is that it can support the Droid 3 in the dock so you can pick up the lapdock and move around with it. Its actually comfortable to use as a laptop since it doesn't give off heat like a normal laptop.

The disadvantage is that modding it makes it look a bit ugly, at least my mod job, and you'd have to mod it each time you get a new phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] TNSandman:
You may need to do a bit more trimming. Mine is still a little finicky, a little trimming would fix it up I bet.

I use a velcro strap to hold the phone nice and secure when docked.

Good luck. I use it often at work for meetings and such. On the road its great to use remote desktop over 3g.
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
Assuming the lapdock is charged or on the charger, I would try hooking up your phone while the lapdock connections are disassembled. This is what I did before modding it just to make sure it would work. The HDMI should work no matter what, but the keyboard/touchpad can be troublesome sometimes. Closing and reopening the lid usually gets it working.
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
ok, so i received the dock today, changed the connectos, connected the phone (its not 100% connected, there is still 10% of the silver part of the connectors which remain outside), but the screen does not start.

connected to the outlet..and still no answer.

shall i try something else?
[Motorola Droid 3] bogdan_wrc:
so i managed to make it work, but it shows me its connected to dock, only when the lid is closed. once i open the lid, the phone disconnects. any help?
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
You could try plugging in only one of the two cables by opening the lapdock and unscrewing them. If you just plug in HDMI it should work similar to when you connect it to a TV with HDMI. Then try microUSB once you know the display/HDMI works.
[Motorola Droid 3] husker_fan:
In case anyone is wondering I never got mine to work. The hdmi appears to work as the display is mirrored, but thats it. No sound or anything. It must me the usb that doesnt work.

I really want this to work as its not only cheap, but would be very convenient for me at work.

Is it possible its just a defective unit and ordering a new one from a different website would result in positive results?
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
Sound is sent over HDMI so that should work even without USB. Do you have an HDMI capable TV and a microHDMI to HDMI cable that you could test with to see if your phone can send picture/sound over HDMI. This is supported by the Droid 3 so it should work fine no matter what unless your lapdock is defective. USB on the other hand isn't really supported and can be troublesome at times, but it should at least charge.
[Motorola Droid 3] husker_fan:
the usb doesnt do anything at all, when I plug it in there is no change at all on the lapdock or the phone, no charging or anything. I've tried more than one phone as well.

I'm about 99% sure its the lapdock. It came with instructions from a foreign country, so who no knows if it was a refurb or just junk that was pawned off on me. I'd attempt a refund, but since a dremel on the plastic and wouldnt warranty it, even though that has nothing to do with the ports (I didn't damage them).
[Motorola Droid 3] gunsjoe:
my 100 works

So after I got the dock took it apart and looked closely, there are plastic boots around the connectors that are basically d shaped so when you try to turn the connectors around they don't fit correctly although you can mess with it and make it work it seemed to me that it is very hard to get the usb connector to connect every time. You have to remove the metallic tape to see the shape of the boots. You can see the shape of one of the plastic boots in the attached photo (sorry for the glare).

My fix was to use a hot knife cut the boots in half, take them off, flip them around and hot glue them back into place. After this procedure the connectors are are held in place correctly. Also plugging them into the phone before screwing the bracket down helped tremendously. The nice part of hot glue is you can just pull it apart and scrape it off if things are not just right.

I accidentally broke three wires on the usb connector and had to re-solder them. Then it took fixing one of the wires twice. I also made the holes larger before trying to put it together. It took about 6 tries in all to get it right (including just turning the connectors around before I was determined to dramatically improve it). Then I put a little more hot glue along the bottom of the connectors to strengthen up the wires. I used a wedge shaped grinder on each end of the mount to knock the ridges down as well. I didn't put the little spacer plastic back. The phone fits great and the connectors are very stable.

Now over 95% of the time I dock it and it just works. There has been a few times where the screen didn't go to the correct size or the sound didn't work and once hdmi didn't detect anything but I feel confident it will work every time I go to use it and reconnecting it fixes it.

I have a stock global d3 rooted, swipe is turned off so I don't see that issue and I love this thing.

I took it on vacation and played Lushington Springs with a bluetooth mouse everywhere I went. Everyone asked about it and it works so good I even connected a couple other people's phones (a bionic and a razor). I watched movies on the airplane it is small enough to have it fully open on your lap while sitting on the plane. The keyboard is great and typing txt messages on this is a pleasure. Anyhow I can't recommend getting a lapdock enough.
[Motorola Droid 3] gunsjoe:
I had the same problem until I cut the boots in half and hot glued them. Quite a pain but worth it. It is basically just not sitting up high enough.
[Motorola Droid 3] DaDaDub:
So guys, any info or ideas, how to get real resolution on a screen?

Something like realHDMI on DroidX?
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
All that program seems to do is make the DroidX's HDMI mirror everything like the Droid 3's already does. What we need is a way to send video out the HDMI only and also not have it upscale, similar to how it works on the Bionic/Razr. They are basically the same hardware so it should work, unless there isn't enough RAM allocated to the graphics on our Droid 3s.

This would work ideal under ICS or JB since they support switching between tablet and phone UIs, you could have it switch to tablet mode while changing resolutions when HDMI is connected. I'm just not sure if its possible. Maybe something kexec could manage but it would likely be low on the priority list.
[Motorola Droid 3] husker_fan:
Well I bit the bullet and went ahead and ordered another lapdock (from Amazon this time) and it came in the mail yesteday and it works! I am typing this messge from it. I am vey happy with it so far, I just wish the mouse moved a little faster, I'm assuming thee isn't much I can do about that though.
[Motorola Droid 3] 5318008:
I'm guessing you got the Atrix one and did the port flip thing again?
[Motorola Droid 3] husker_fan:
Yup, that's what I did

Okay well wow, what can I say. It is what it is...pure CM 7.1 2.3.5. Quite fast, but a little laggy while pulling down notification bar, and scrolling...maybe tweaks will be implemented later. Camera doesn't work like spaarc said. Haven't tested battery life yet...only a few minutes since install. If spaarc gets camera working on this...which he said he would in an update, then this will be a damn good ROM. FINALLY was waiting for a CM7 ROM that is purely CM7 with GB Launcher2. Hopefully unlike Z's this will not have tremendous battery drain. Only time will tell.

Thank you spaarc.

Your boot logo is freaking awesome. I don't know if this is on purpose but I don't like the white lines that go halfway around the trojan man. Personally it should just be him without any border. But nonetheless, nice.

EDIT: After installing DoomKernel 4a the ROM is quite quicker as expected and more responsive but still a little slow when scrolling settings, app drawer and what not. Dialer a little slow to respond after button press...this was an issue in most CM7 ROMs.

Battery life on this ROM is, as Mr.Burns would say, "EXXXCEEELLLEENT".

First bug...got WLOD on browser...was browsing, then closed it...opened it again and started typing and WLOD.

I am not sure but it seems that if press the back button out of the browser...and open it again it doesn't reload the page...which it should do?

It seems as if the home button and back button do the same thing when dealing with the browser. With everything else it works fine.

UPDATE EVERYDAY?!...I don't know if I can handle that much awesomness everyday...haha.

EDIT: Just typed something in the search bar and backed out of browser...when I open it again it SHOULD just so a blank search bar...but it shows what I typed in. So it isn't closing the app...just "minimizing it". Back out of Market and open it everything reloads and search bar is blank.
