Just re-read the entire thread again. This is so frustrating. So ideally, what we need is:

-A ROM/kernel that supports the right display outputs with no stretching

-HDMI and USB-OTG cables that actually work

-Wireless charging

Then will work. Right?

edit: Found a guy on Youtube who has all 3 working with the bluetooth adapter mentioned earlier. Found it on TigerDirect.com for $59.99. The brand name is Aten. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngT1WT80nZ0

Hi flyingpants,

Very nice find. I can't quite make out in that video if the galaxy is outputting the correct resolution to fill the entire screen.

As the lapdock uses a trackpad and keyboard integrated together using a single USB port, would that not pass all the data out via the adapter I posted above, or is it strickly keyboard data?

These adapters a quite expensive anyway, almost the price of the lapdock itself! Sadly, I think theres not much hope here. The best way to do it, would be to connect the Samsung smart dock to the lapdock. The only problem is the smart dock requires mains power which severly limits the mobility of this solution. If it would somehow be possible to power the smart dock using the lapdocks 2 USB ports, then we might be onto something.

Another thing would be to change the DPI of the display, so that everything doesn't look so big on the lapdocks screen, but that can come later :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hattmall:
I've got all 3 varieties of the lapdock, the lapdock 500 doesn't seem to be a go at all, but the other two are good, I've had them fully functioning with the Raspberry Pi. now trying to get the S3 working with them. Just bought a dock off of ebay for $30, hopefully it will work.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] delucz:
Let us know how you go :)

Which dock did you end up purchasing off ebay? What other lapdocks do you have, the Atrix and Bionic, or the lapdock 100?

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hattmall:
I have all 3, atrix 10.1 inch, Bionic 11.6 inch and 14 inch 500.

I bought this dock. Hoping to power if off of the Lapdock possibly. Not sure, I'll just have see what happens when it gets here.

Unfortunately, I can't get anything to fully work with the Lapdock 500 as I believe it has some sort of DRM or something. I managed to get the Raspberry PI to pull up by "hot wiring" the 500 to Droid X, I don't know, further testing is necessary, but it looks like best bet is going to be the 11.6 inch because it works very well with it, just have to get KB and MOUSE working with the S3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] delucz:
Hi hattmall, could you please link me to the dock you purchased, it doesn't seem to be in your previous post.

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hattmall:
Ah I don't have enough posts to post a link yet, anyway

it's item number 360496994540

Haven't gotten it yet, but will update when I do.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] delucz:
That actually looks really cool, please do let us know how you go!

I wonder if the dock hast to be plugged into the wall charger for it to work?

EDIT: Sadly, I don't think that dock will work. If you look closely at the switch on the top, it seems as those you can toggle which mode you want, HDMI out, or PC Sync :( worth a shot though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hattmall:
Yep, your right, I didn't realize it was a switch, got it and it only works one way or the other. Also couldn't get any usb peripherals to work using the PC sync port even when I switched to and used the OTG adapter. So it seems like this item number 161021654307 is probably the only thing that is going to work. It's the Samsung MHL HDMI OTG Dock, its $99 basically twice the costs of the Lapdock that it will work with, so not sure if I'm going to order that or not.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] delucz:
Yes I agree, it doesn't seem worth it. It's a real shame we couldn't get this to work properly. I'd only potentially consider using the lapdock + smart dock if we could run the smart dock without the wall charger. Perhaps somehow powering it off the 2 x USB ports on the lapdock.

Cheers

hi team,

i have tested with original samsung cable with note 2 and S3. But i am getting green screen only in lapdock.

my lapdock is AT&T atrix 4g model... anything to do with it?.....

I have tested my set top box,LAPTOP and Notion ink adam..all are working but not with my note 2. (HDMI to micro HDMI male + micro HDMI female to female)

I have seen that note 2 is always use HDCP for HDMI...Will the lapdock support HDCP?...(in some thread i have seen it supports)

Team really need somebody's help....

Note: I have the setup ready and working find with HDMI & OTG simultaneously connected with 24inch LG monitor.Only part left out is connecting with lapdock
[Galaxy S III Accessories] delucz:
Hi,

Does it work with your Galaxy S3? Are you running a custom ROM? If your set top box & laptop work with it, it shouldn't be HDCP thats the issue. Sounds like a problem with the ROM or your MHL adapter.

By the way, how are you getting MHL and OTG to work simultaneously? Are you using the Samsung Smart Dock?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shivela39:
Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I am testing with the stock rom for both note 2,SIII (S4 as well). It works with normal TV but not lapdock (green screen).

For OTG+HDMI.

I bought Chinese SIII MHL cable and opened the 11pin micro used connector. Soldered the D+,D- pins to extend to normal USB femal.

changed the resistor value between pin4 & 5 with 40.2k resistor.

while inserting to mobile i briefly short the D+,D- pins (typically 500ms to 1s). (no device to be connected during this activity).

once mobile shows dock mode detection insert the usb cable with lapdock or any usb hub.

Now HDMI and OTG both should work.....

I have tested this setup with usb hub (which has 2 pen drives,one SD card and wireless keyboard/mouse) and connected to TV.

Can the stock rom will work with lapdock or should i used any custom rom?....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shivela39:
Update : My Raspberry PI setup works fine with Lapdock......

Every thing works with lapdock ...but why not my note 2 / S3:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] delucz:
It must be your MHL adapter is not working correctly with it, perhaps because it has been modified. Try an official Samsung one and it should work.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shivela39:
I have tried samsung official cable as well in the samsung store...Still lapdock shows green screen only.Below is the summary of my testing.

Good find...

For those who think it's too much of a hassle to order these adapters and cords, spend a lot of money buying docks, etc...

The HakShop (of Hak5) is selling these (slightly overpriced Cables): http://hakshop.myshopify.com/products/lapdock-cables for $14.99

I think I may just use my lapdock (when I get it) with a TronSmart MK908 Android 4.2 Mini PC TV Box, Bluetooth, 2GB RAM, 8GB Internal storage, quad-core, works for me... on Amazon for about $60. Beware of a knockoff that wouldn't have 2GB of RAM even if it prayed for 23 and a half nights for it. (some made with a honeycomb andy logo...)

Hey, it isn't my phone but it'll do... and with the new update it'll be rooted or rootable (however they ended up doing it...). If people want to sell these awesome displays that can take HDMI input (with a little tinkering) for so cheap, plus a built in keyboard, I'll take it anyday!

Sorry to be a bit off topic here, but it's directly related to the lapdock with sort of similar specs to the S3, as far as OS & Ram go...... Some of the alternatives above and in previous posts seem pretty awesome to, I'm only afraid that by the time SOME of them hit the market, we'll be using our S5's haha :cyclops:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shivela39:
team,

I have updated to 4.3 modded rom to check whether it works with lapdock.

But still not working with lapdock but TV it is ok.

I am concluding that HDCP is by default on from samsung for HDMI out which lapdock is lagging.

Any idea to disable it or any other modded rom supports samsung MHL with option of disable HDCP?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mycal89:
Hi everyone, this is my first post here after spending a few days reading as much as I can about these lapdocks.

I thought I would share my specific situation that I have going on.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 running Stock 4.2.2 - unrooted

and I plan to connect this to my Motorola Lapdock 100 (Razr) from which I can see is a little different from most of yours?

I plan to do this with the Samsung Smart Dock EDD-S20HWE.

I have already been using this dock with my TV's in combination with Bluetooth keyboard, am am familiar with the display issue whilst in landscape orientation. Still yet to read up and work that one out...

I recently acquired the Lapdock second hand from fleabay. Attachment 1

So far I have only been able to see a glipse of it in use as the micro HDMI cables I purchased didnt seem to be 1.4 compliant or at least wired correctly so the screen only shows for a brief time (while connected to HDMI out on laptop) and doesn't display at all when connected to the Smart Dock. I am hoping this is just cable related and not a fault with the lapdock itself.

Looking through the past pages, the most similar set-up to mine is a32quaeler @ http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35679288&postcount=78

One problem encountered here is the need for mains power to power the smart dock, mine is the same. Attachment 2

However, I have been able to use the smart dock on the TV using 2x USB ports on the laptop (for testing) with a cable that I soldered up this afternoon. Attachment 3 and 4.

I plan to re-create this cable a little better and longer so that it is more flexible.

I am expecting to be able to power the Smart Dock with the 2 USB ports on the Lap Dock, if I need to use additional USB devices, the Smart Dock has 3 all up and one will be used by the Lapdocks keyboard so will still have 2 spare.

So now I eagerly await the arrival of my hopefully last HDMI Cable. I purchased this here >>> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130835855830?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

So if anyone has any suggestions or questions just feel free to ask. I understand while my phone model is slightly different, the Smart Dock and Lapdocks, are the same so relatively on topic.

Edit.

I have rewired what was the 4 way USB cable seen in attachment 4, into a 3 way or Y split, 1 Male Micro USB > 1 Data + Power USB Male && 1x Power/Ground only USB male.

After testing this, I found that the smart dock will work with just ONE USB, the power only cable. It does not need 2 to be connected.

My assumptions are that, if the Smart Dock is connected to PC with the supplied cable, it puts the phone in "Media Device" mode and disables HDMI out, where if it is simply drawing power, the the PC does not feed back data to the phone, it remains in "dock mode" and it has power to output HDMI.

I have not searched yet, but if you could find a power only Micro USB M> USB M then this *should* work with the lapdock itself. Or simply use a spare charging cable, peel back the insulation and cut/disrupt the data wires then re-seal. At least with my Y cable I can still choose to use it as data transfer or HDMI power.
