[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixlis:
totaly useless.

My win 7 netbook might look slower but is faster in everything

The lapdocks touchpad is for rubbish unable to control like the 1990 laptops.

But the biggest problem is the dock itself being unable for lapdock to use like in bed or couch , because too much shaking may drop the phone.

Its more like Mobile desktop rather than a real LAPtop.

Anyway is good as an extra battery and fixing bricked phones nothing else.

Watching movies should be an ok if dont have sth else
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elbscorp:
After running Webtop2sd,then the scripts to fix dependencies,getting xfce4 installed,Yes the laptop dock is very useful.If you don't have the desire, patience,or ability to set it up right,the stock weptop is pretty lame.

All of the onfo,files,and tutorials you will need are here on the Forum. Patience,basic computer skills and the ability to read and follow instructions is all you need.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troycarpenter:
I use the lapdock all the time in bed, on the couch and in my lap and other places like that. My phone fits pretty snugly in the dock and would take quite a bit of shaking to get it to dislodge. How much shaking do you do with it in those places?

I would also like to see an option to stop charging the phone from the lapdock...I've found a few times where the lapdock battery drains before I am finished working, and would rather the phone use it's own battery to prolong the laptop's battery.

I've used it for web browsing (firefox), remote server maintenance (putty), picture manipulation (gimp), document editing (openoffice), MP3 tagging (EasyTAG), and many other things (like others have said, it doesn't do that out of the box, and not with CM7). However, I'm tempted by the latest AOKP images that can do both tablet and phone interfaces...just not a big fan of having to manually change dpi and reboot to switch. I like the current plug/unplug and go aspect.

If anyone has the lapdock they don't use, I'd be happy to buy it off their hands :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Alex_:
If you have a laptop, tablet, netbook or ultrabook and you have money to burn, then it's a good toy that will last for about 15 minutes before it goes into the electronic heap pile, because it's pretty useless compared to any other device.

If your phone is all you have then adding a $75 refurbished accessory to extend your phones' usefulness while maintaining mobility is pretty darn cool.

As for CM9 & tablet UI? It doesn't compare to a real tablet as there is no touchscreen and the touchpad is utter crap. Even with a wireless mouse, it's just pain weird to use Android with a mouse and not your fingers...

I've owned the lapdock for almost a year now and have had gentoo, debian and backtrack on it in addition to replacing the default windows manager and other than the time I've spent configuring it, I've used it for less than three weeks time.

Looking forward to my SGS3 so I can let my daughter use the atrix + lapdock as her new car movie player, after I crazy glue the phone into the dock
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V DidDy 210:
I just recently got the lap dock. I love using it even though I noe own a one x.

My favorite use for the atrix has been using it as basically a streaming hub on my TV. Firefox streams MLB.tv great and all the movie sites too. I always just wanted the dock to be completely honest and hopefully with ics from moto the dock will only get better. I use webtop2sd and have a great shell (window manager from next step) and it works great
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simplewizard:
I use mine to dock the phone and charge it over night. It makes a great phone stand or alarm in my case
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V DidDy 210:
It was a gamble of a design choice but it was freaking awesome. The tech was just a year too early, it really is awesome

The padfone is doing it right. Hopefully gentop makes it all worthwhile
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cusa:
Don't waste money on a lapdock, save it for a new phone that has more support and is more futerproof than the atrix.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totti123456:
a little offtopic but did anyone manage to play subtiltes in entertainment center? mkv files or avi files play just fine but without subs... i installed webtop+ from development section and tried vlc but does not play the files at all.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thurstonsand:
honestly with the addition of ubuntu to webtop its pretty ridiculous what you can do with it now
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scary Guy:
Running Paranoid Android and I have to say it's pretty nice having the tablet UI on the lapdock. Also using the physical keyboard to type text messages is nice too. I also like the looks of the OG lapdock better than the newer one.

Get it if you have the money to blow. If not save for a better phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milenko2121:
The lapdock is pointless. Its a netbook without a computer. Why carry that around when for barely that much more you can get a real computer?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scary Guy:
Because you don't have to carry it around. Just leave it at home like I do and use it there.

Also for the other reasons I mentioned above.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milenko2121:
At home you have a desktop computer though. I fail to see the point.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scary Guy:
I can't exactly reply to texts with my desktop (well I can but I'm too lazy to set it up, and this is just a neat toy really).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milenko2121:
I could setup texting through my PC faster than itd take you to plug your phone into the dock and get a message sent. Its a simple process.

The lapdock was a great idea, but overpriced. If it was close to $50 and had more functionality, it could take over the netbook, but the dock itself cost as much as a netbook.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scary Guy:
The dock has come down in price, you can find them for $50. Also I doubt that with the text messaging, even with me snapping it out of my otterbox case. Although I do always leave it plugged in on my desk next to my laptop. Not to mention it just looks cool there.

I got mine for $75 and I still say it was worth it because I do use it all the time. If you don't want to blow money on it fine but don't harp on it's usefulness just because you want to feel better about not shelling out money for it. IMO it's a quality product. The only real downside is the battery is built in permanently.

But no, unless you plan on keeping and using the phone for a long time like I did when I bought it, don't get it and save up for something better like the SGSIII or the Atrix 3 when it comes out since I hear it will have many of the same features and not suck nearly as bad as 2 or HD. Not to mention with the HDMI cable (and a DVI adapter if you're using a monitor) you can hack it to use the webtop/mirror the display anyway. So I guess I just like having the device.

Honestly I'd still be using webtop if I had the capability too, but I don't want to go back to Blur or gingerbread for it. Maybe the official ICS will fix the gingerbread part of that but either way I might have to deal with Blur again :(
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcejr:
Missing the boat

Motorola and At&t screwed up the Lapdock from the outset by:

(1.) charging a ridiculously high price when the Atrix was 1st released. The pre-release publicity got them giddy & greedy --and cost them a great success. The lapdock should have been subsidized to encourage more purchasers (and wider ownership and interested "developers) and more webtop subscribers ( an AT&T ripoff IMHO).

(2.) Requiring and essentially trying to force atrix owners to purchase a web top account at a ridiculous additional expense.

The combination killed both products sales wise.

That said -- I purchased my 1st lapdock a few months ago for $60 and have enjoyed using it as a large display for my internet browsing & other programming-similar to the Redfly I used with my Tilt (nowhere near the display qualities & capabilities) and readily paid more than $200.00 for. But I really hit the home run when my wife's Garmin GPS died and I replaced it with my Atrix and Lapdock. Now she not only has a much bigger display --but using WAZE GPS with the Atrix allows her to get live traffic, police, construction and much other info on line updated constantly (grandfathered unlimited) while she travels -- all for my $60. lapdock purchase and gift to her of my Atrix---now replaced for $50.00 by the beautiful new Atrix HD. What a great Country!

Additional bonus! Huge battery charger.

If you own an Atrix & plan on keeping it for a while --grab one of these $50-60. wonder machines.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Aleq:
Hi guys,

can you recommend any screen protector to our beloved BN Nook Tablet?

I find bare screen less slippery for finger (compared to my phone with Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic clear screen protector (or previously used Brando Clear screen protector)) and some protection would be nice of course as well.

I'm looking for a screen protector, that would be

- clear (not glare reducing, matte)

- easily applicable (like Brando and similar - i.e. no glue, no liquids, static adhesion preferred)

- covering the whole screen (not just touch area)

- good value for the money

I don't think I need the most durable protector that exists, as I believe tablet is less exposed than mobile phone, I carry it in case etc.

Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
I would get Caseen Glareshatters. I know you said no glare reducers, but it's still worth taking a look at.

They're cheaper than B&N's screen protectors, easy to apply (adhesive), and most important, no more oily, crusty residue from your fingers.

Windows 8 launch will be exactly three years after the Windows 7 launch.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] klee2000:
Ok not sure if anyone asked this question I know that the phone has 4G capabilities but does it have 3G as well? I know it was stated that it did in the article to get the 4G for T-mobile service, but after doing the flash I only notice 4G. Another question does the 4G kill the battery a lot faster because I know for sure I don't get 13 hours out of my phone as stated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] joshnichols189:
If it isn't LTE, it isn't 4G. Tmobile and AT&T non LTE 4G is just 3G, at best 3.5G and it does not use much more battery.

3G 4G same thing pretty much if u need to ask about it. 3g is umts. And 3.5g is hspa.

T-Mobile does not have real 4G. They use 3.5. So what ur asking when you see 4G your really on 3G or 3.5G

Hello good day.

my phone;

Network mode (GSM / WCDMA auto) I have problems with phone calls. phone call is cut off.

Network mode (GSM only or WCDMA only) there is no problem in normal operation.

Turkcell does not support 4G.

myTouch phone htc preceding 4G.

normal was going.

What do you think the reason for this.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
I wonder if your calls are being dropped because your device is switching between service towers. That used to be a common issue in America when smartphones were still pretty dumb. I used to lose calls when it would auto search for a signal tower.

It's most likely a carrier issue, and not a phone issue...

By the way, no 4G in Turkey yet? Wow.

[HTC EVO 3D] JesseAaronSafir:
I found that gg.jpg picture of Alessandra Ambrosio inside the Leedroid APK under res/drawable-hdps. I tried to replace it with a black 540x960 "gg.jpg" file but then I couldn't figure out how to reinstall Leedroid with the resulting APK. I had also tried updating Leedroid Tweaks but none of the versions I downloaded seemed to install successfully. Is the latest build of Eternity 3.0 running the latest version of Leedroid Tweaks? Is there a flashable or installable Leedroid Tweaks with a black background instead in case someone wants that as an option?

I also had a problem with Leedroid Tweaks in r193 where when I tried to change the overscroll color, the phone would crash and bootloop and I had to start all over again. Is that fixed in r218?

What's the deal with alternative kernels for r218? People are talking about chad's kernel having better battery life and being faster. Is it included in r218 or do I need to download and flash it separately? Is "InfectedROM_Eternity-SynergyforCHAD-b1.zip" the same as r218 except with chad's kernel and the Eternity blue theme? I'd like the "stock" theme rather than the blue theme. If I need to flash chad's kernel separately, from where can I download it? Is it already overclocked? Or is the overclocking something you have to do with "System Panel" or "SetCPU"?
[HTC EVO 3D] JesseAaronSafir:
So I was able to open up the zip file for the latest Eternity 3.0 ROM and I extracted "system/app/TweaksCDMA.apk" to my desktop and then I opened that file with IZArc, removed res/drawable-hdpi/gg.jpg, and then saved the file. Then I opened the apk again and put a new black gg.jpg file in res/drawable-hdpi and then saved it again. Then I deleted "system/app/TweaksCDMA.apk" from the Eternity ROM zip and replaced it with my modified version. After flashing the updated ROM file I have found that Leedroid Tweaks no longer has the image of Alessandra Ambrosio as the background so it's SFW ;)

As an aside, I'm still unable to change the overscroll color with Leedroid Tweaks without having to wipe/reflash the ROM. For some reason that setting with this version of Leedroid Tweaks makes the phone immediately bootloop. Lesson learned. Stay away until someone updates Leedroid in this ROM. This is still true as of the r218 of Eternity.

If anyone knows a solution, please let me know.

Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] JesseAaronSafir:
I'm getting frustrated with Virus's latest Eternity 3.0 ROM: "InfectedROM_Eternity-SynergyforCHAD-b1.zip"

First issue:

WiFi is often disconnecting and failing to reconnect. I try switching Airplane mode on and off and WiFi off and on and rebooting. Eventually it will reconnect but it's definitely not connecting as reliably as it did with r193.

Second issue:

Titanium Backup Pro 4.8.4 keeps locking up during batch restores. I've been trying to get all my apps restored last night and all day today and I keep having to FC Titanium and start again. I have also had the phone crash and reboot during a TB batch restore several times today.

Third issue:

Even when I'm connected to WiFi (at home and at work), I'm getting a lot of network timeouts. For example, I open "Google Play" and get the spinner for a while and then get "Connection timed out" [Retry]

Fourth issue (already mentioned):

Changing the overscroll color in Leedroid Tweaks cause the phone to crash and bootloop.

Also, the phone definitely "seems" less responsive and more laggy than it did on r193.

I do really like the blue themeing, however.

I did all the wiping I could with TWRP before flashing this ROM. I could try starting over again. Any other suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] JesseAaronSafir:
Fifth issue:

Power+Home native screenshots produce 0 B (empty) jpg files in /sdcard/DCIM. This was also the case with r193.

I was able to download a different root screenshot app from "Play Store" and got that to work instead. Still, it's annoying that the native screenshot functionality is broken.
