Open to Suggestions!

Thanks for your help joker but I still cannot get the WEbtop interface without the modded WEbtop Hack DockSErvices and PortalApp apk files. That's no good because the keyboard and trackpad won't work.

Can anyone modify the WEbtop hack files to utilize the keyboard and trackpad on the lapdock? SEe below for what I have tried and results so far.

I am using a refurbished Lapdock and am starting to think that maybe it's the lapdock!

I was able to get the Webtop interface to come on twice after I opened the box the first time. Both times, it was while the cables were loose and the phone was sitting flat behind the lapdock on a table. However, the Webtop would not come on right away, it would take a few minutes and then the phone screen would go dark (no backlight but you could still see the clock on the screen) and the webtop UI would come on...on the lapdock.

After dremeling it all down flat (at Mean flat) I was unable to get webtop to come on again. So, I downloaded the WEbtop hack with modified Dockservices and PortalApp files for the photon. INstalled them and viola I had instant recognition of the phone and it offered me the WEbtop option at the top of the HDMI options screen on the phone. Offered Webtop, Gallery, Music, and Mirror. The Webtop option works but the trackpad and keyboard do not work on the Lapdock. Not acceptable for me.

I figure it must have something to do with the drivers. So, I asked for help for the Photon's unmodified DockServices and PortalApp apks. I installed them and they worked but don't offer me the WEbtop option period. So, no joy!

I took the tray apart again and hooked it up with the cables loose and cannot get the WEbtop experience again at all. (This based upon original Electrify files) I am going to reinstall the Photon unmodded files and see if it will work with the cables loose. I am hooking up the USB first but get no reaction from the phone or lapdock until I hook up the HDMI cable.

Anyone got any ideas. I am thinking I got a cheap HDMI monitor right now....worse case scenario! LOL I paid $75 for it so it was worth the risk.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bradleyw801:
I have something that may be similar that happens to me. Did you by chance do any mods to change the resolution of your webtop over HDMI cable? Meaning did you edit the file in the osh folder to support higher resolutions? I did this based off one of the guides in this forum, and I have noticed something strange. If you have done this, then you know that the phone becomes a track pad mouse with a virtual keyboard option. When I have the resolution set to the preinstalled Motorola resolutions (1280x720, etc), the phone works as a mouse pad with no problems, and responds correctly. But, if I raise the resolution, in my case to 1680x1050, the touchpad stops responding. A bluetooth mouse and keyboard still work perfectly, but the phone won't interface.

Have you tried plugging in a USB mouse? Just to see if it's something related to the dock? If a USB mouse works, try a USB keyboard. That might help you get to the bottom of the mystery.

[Motorola Photon 4G] luppers:
I really don't have uber high demands for my phones, I just expect them to work and fill my what I believe to be simple needs. I'm hoping that I can list some of my issues and possibly get some positive feedback to help weed through issues, not only for me but for other users. I know this phone has a lot of passionate followers, I can definitely say, I'm not one of them.

I don't mind rooting at all, but cannot lose 4g capabilities. I know I've seen some locked OSs, any suggestions would be appreciated. I also bought this phone based on my ideals behind Tegra and the SIM slot as I'll be doing some world travel within the next few months. Now to some issues I've had...

Default Music player - efing sucks. If there isn't a good 30secs of lag loading media from the external SD card, the damn thing crashes after 3-4 songs. I fully understand that rooting will get through this issue with a different (hopefully android default) media player. But I'm struggling to find why this is an issue outside of poor development. Have about 8GB worth of music on either a 16gb or 32gb SD card. Wipe Dvcache and NO PROBLEMS with same memory card.

Camera - Can't shut off shutter sound? What the hell were Motorola software techs thinking? Yes the camera is very good, but what the fizzle? I ironically heavily considered this phone over the GS2 because of the dedicated camera button. Only to be frustrated thanks to the inability to take ninja photos.

Multi-Touch - I had issues with multi point touching. Multidev gave some direction here, which if I root my phone later today, I'll definitely go in this direction.

BT Media Stream - Specifically with the Sync in Ford vehicles. I've used it in both a 2011 Focus (sync 3.0) and my 2011 Mustang (sync 2.0) and repeated the same issue detailed in this thread. Completely drives me up the wall, as I have not had this issue with any of the roms I ran previously on my Evo4g. Everything else works well with Sync, including making and receiving calls and text/email notification.

I'm sure there's been a few more issues that I've had slip my mind. But, I guess I'm really just hoping that I can use the benefits of this phone without continuing to 'deal with' the shortcomings of owning a handset that isn't going to sell 500k units and get the kind of manufacturer and homebrew software support of a phone that has sold 500k units.

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
i use google music app, not the moto one and i love it.. ive had NO issues with it what so ever.. and it is THE default android player

camera is annoying but you are required to be rooted to remove it.. dunno if anyone has or not tho. any third party app should still work with the button etc etc

as for bluetooth.. no idea again may be solved by removing the current music app and putting googlemusic on there (use titanium backup to remove the moto music player :) )
[Motorola Photon 4G] luppers:
Thanks for the response Shabby.

So either way, I'd be better off rooting and removing the music player and camera apps?

I guess the only other thing I'm looking for in a rom is just general speed. The phone flys when it comes to opening programs and program performance, but the general speed of menu access and transitioning from one base mode to the next leaves a lot to be desired. Just getting in and out of text messages takes just too damn long.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
First of all, the Photon is a great phone, when it works properly.

I have had wayyy more issues than you with it, and trust me, sometime I just completely hate the F&@^(*$ Mother F@%$!@. This phone can be a dumb @$$ son of a B!^@%. When it works it is awesome.

I have been through about 5 replacement Photon's and need to replace it again after the holidays, (Motorola has finally fixed the problem with it officially, YAY!) Now, you shouldn't be complaining compared to what I have been through.

But, I understand where you are comming from.

I have not had a stable music player, other than Rhapsody, that didn't crash or force close on me, including, Music, Google Music, Honeycomb Music, & Player Pro.

I personally hate the Rhapsody interface and I am forced to deal with it.

Camera Shutter Issue,

Root Required - Download Root Explorer via Market or find other means of getting it. PM me if you want to know how you can get it in other ways.

Go to

System/media/audio/ui in Root Explorer.

First copy and save to it to sd first incase you want it back cause delete is permanent.

Set system to rw then delete

Delete camera sound ogg.

Then you are all set. Or don't root and use the following application: https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/443424#443424

(Sorry, the Motorola forums are currently down, they hope to get back up by the end of this week.) But, check later on this or next week. (NOW YOU CAN TAKE NINJA PHOTOS) But remember, there is not current way to disable the auto focus double beep, if someone finds a way, please comment below, and I may edit this post.

Bluetooth car issue, you should experiment with different Music Player applications.

Hope I've helped! Be sure to click the "Thanks" button if I did, it lets other users know that I am helpful.

MultiTouch - follow the directions that you posted
[Motorola Photon 4G] kusanagi-sama:
There's another way to disable the camera sound on the phone here: Enable sound settings in stock camera app - root required

Also, what's the problem with the phone that they're finally fixing?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dsparil:
I wasn't aware of the Multi touch problem, and I have ran into my touch screen locking problem yesterday while playing Mario Kart 64 yesterday.

I backed up my touch screen folder, and replaced it with the 8 multi touch files.

That is a deal breaker, but I'm glad to have the solution.

Edit: I tried Mario Kart again, but the touch screen continues to lock up after holding down "A" for a bit (to accelerate). Did Motorola lock how long you can press down on the screen?

Yes, I tried the multi touch app and they register all 8 touches.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tekahuna:
We just got basic functionality working earlier today. Sounds like there is an issue with encryption and reboots/disconnects.

For now, I believe the most stable setup is an "open network", with "access control" enabled, if you need a level of protection.

Also, the Download/Upload stats are off. Reports are that throughput is correct though.

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------

Disclosure: I'm the developer of the app "Wifi Hotspot and USB Tether" by SVTP:

I've used the app myself for 6 months with no complaint from Verizon, and I've never heard of any carrier billing a customer for using this app. On some devices, they redirect all traffic to a page encouraging you to sign up for hotspot service, but if you don't click on the big red button that says "sign me up for $30/month hotspot service" then I don't believe they charge you.

However, there's always the possibility that they will block the app in the future.

Yup I have the same issue with the phone no longer connecting to data services after i installed the wifi_tether_v3_1-bete8.apk
