Where is the overscan at? To make it full screen
[Motorola Atrix HD] maamdroid:
I'm using 4.3 with the lapdock 100. After plugging it in, the screen backlight on the lapdock comes on and then shortly turns off. They touchpad and keyboard still work though.

Do I have a bad lapdock, or is there something I don't know about 4.3? I thought everything would just work out of the box using hdmi mirroring.

I submitted to have a refund for the lapdock I just bought, but wanted to double check that I'm not missing anything to get it to work.

Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
I have heard about the same happening with the lapdock 500, on android 4.1+... so its not your lapdock, but your OS compatibility. (If I remember correct, I read it somewhere here.)
[Motorola Atrix HD] maamdroid:
Thanks, I'll try downgrading...hopefully I won't have to be stuck on an old version to use the lapdock...

Ah yes, I see the thread discussioning this:

I'm downloading stock ICS now...

In some responses it sounded like it worked on 4.1+ but the screen just didn't stretch properly. Mine it just goes to a black screen and never shows the phone's screen.

Either way, I'm going to test it out with ICS stock and report back.
[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
Because they had bionic lapdock, they had the stretches, the 100/500 just simply won't work.
[Motorola Atrix HD] maamdroid:
Ok, thanks. I just finished downgrading to 4.0.4 stock... :(
[Motorola Atrix HD] smogtdi:
on Bell 4.1.2, my AHD will stretch on the original Atrix Lapdock and on my Lapdock 100.

both show a letterboxed image with bad resolution.
[Motorola Atrix HD] maamdroid:
Oh good, I'm disliking 4.0.4. I'll flash to 4.1.2 stock to see if that will work.
[Motorola Atrix HD] smogtdi:
I will spare you trouble : Lapdocks only display correctly on OEM Motorola 4.0.4 and lower. (no clue about the aftermarket roms based on CM or AOSP)

I TRIED ALL OF THEM MYSELF

so it is first hand experience.

and the problem is not from google/android; only my Motorola devices are doing this. All the JellyBean TV-Boxes I have around are ok detecting the HDMI identification on the Lapdock and displaying in 720p on it.

for the record, OEM JB will detect the lapdock screen as a 720 x 576 display and stretch the image width with black bars on top and bottom. If it was also stretching the height it wouldn't be that bad... but it's not. So we end up with something that look like a 720x576 stretched to 1280x576

I guess it's a kernel problem voluntary left if (or not) by Motorola

AGAIN, both my ATRIX 4G Lapdock and my Lapdock 100 are doing the exact same problem.

BUT HERE IS A WORKAROUND :

after the lapdock is plugged in, open a terminal window and as a superuser, run this :

echo 4 > /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fb1/video_mode

it will stick until you disconnect the hdmi wire (or lapdock)
[Motorola Atrix HD] smogtdi:
here is a Fix for lapdock resolution

To make things easier, I created a text file with the code line so it can be used as a script.

then using a script manager (like SManager), I created a widget calling the script/file directly from the home screen.

I'm pretty sure this trick will work with ANY phone and even with the MHL adapters most phones are using now.

BEFORE SCRIPT :

AFTER SCRIPT :

at the same time I also created a widget/shortcut for this script :

it will soft-restart the phone in 240dpi to help with the large Lapdock screen

if the phone is already in 240dpi, it will restart in the original 320dpi mode

initdensity=320
tabletdensity=240
density=`getprop qemu.sf.lcd_density`
if [ $density -eq $initdensity ]
then
setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density $tabletdensity
else
setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density $initdensity
fi
stop
sleep 1
start

[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
So how far can you go with this script? Can it run on the 4.3 ports we have here too? Or which is the best and stable rom currently? Is the quality just like 4.O.4?
[Motorola Atrix HD] smogtdi:
the best and most stable rom currently is any OEM MB886 rom from your favorite provider.

I use Bell 4.1.2 on my AT&T MB886 as it's the only way to get LTE in Canada.

quality is exactly like it was on 4.0.4 WITH overscan (see pictures)

I didn't test it on anything ported or non-OEM. I know some ROMs had bugs with HDMI-out so I stayed with the OEM firmwares.

should cure the lapdock resolution detection problem if present on other roms.

it enable full screen display on BOTH my Lapdock 100 and the 4G/Bionic Lapdock

the first script override the value extracted from EDID string sent by the HDMI display and replace it with the value "4" used by the OS

4 720p 16:9 1280x720p @ 59.94/60Hz

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_display_identification_data
[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
Its the CM based roms that have even bigger problems, they usually are stuck in portrait, and if you force landscape they will be letterboxed too.

We might have luck with anything newer but non CM.
[Motorola Atrix HD] smogtdi:
people stuck with CM based roms that can FORCE landscape might benefit for the the command to also Force 720p to the HDMI port.
[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
Have you tried the proper 1366*768 res with this?
[Motorola Atrix HD] smogtdi:
again, at 720p look at the pictures; it's full screen on the lapdock; why would I try anything else ?

here is the proof on the lapdock 100
[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
Its just the phones' 720p mirrored, not the lapdocks native res

You know screen standby app has "run app on hdmi detect" function? It just doesn't show widget but apps.

I think we can make an app that can do the terminal work pretty easy, so we can uninstall the script app, and don't need to click it.

Also, if you miss the option of settings>sounds>hdmi/speakers, this app does just that. You can listen to your phone speakers while in lapdock mode.

I have to reuse the code every time I reconnect the phone to the lapdock.

Some weird random plugging-like sound

so i finally manage to do it! thank you!

I have a very simple another question, when i plug my phone and when the sound is on, i sometimes experience some weird sounds ( like click sounds) or like when i start a youtube video, i hear same similar sound too. it ls like when you try to plug your audio cable to anything and it makes some little noise at the plugging moment..

So, does anyone else experience a similar issue? or i did sth wrong when i modded my Atrix 4g lapdock?

thanks in advance
[Motorola Atrix HD] smogtdi:
it also happened with mine. but it's a minor annoyance so I let it go.

All the sound and image go through your HDMI connector. Remember, the lapdock is just a hdmi monitor with a 4 port USB hub where 2 port are used for the touchpad and the keyboard.

it is not anything more than this.
[Motorola Atrix HD] legendnexus:
Okay, thank you! and are you able to adjust the volume level on the Lapdock? because when I change the volume level, it doesnt control the Lapdock's speakers unless it is muted.

Do you use any app for it or is it only two options we can get from lapdock; volume on and volume off?
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
I've been reading a lot of [MENTION=4743265]smogtdi[/MENTION] posts and might be able to make a Tasker app (I have the Pro version) to do the hdmi detecting and mode changing for us. Don't ask for an eta as I have a lot of crap going on right now and don't even plan on starting till later on tonight.
[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
So does the workaround for the lapdocks work with the 500 and 4.1 ?
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Haven't been on 4.1 to try it since I saw it yesterday. It doesn't work with the 500 on 4.3...haven't tested it with my TV yet.
[Motorola Atrix HD] smogtdi:
on 4.1.x with the 100 and older lapdock : yes

but I don't have a 500 to test
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
For us, the 500 works flawlessly with ICS except for the volume controls. 4.1 Stock had the overscan issues but worked fine other than that. I'd safely assume the echo command will work for stock JB. 4.2/3 just doesn't work at all -- display just doesn't initialize nor does the keyboard work.

Tasker -- I have the echo command set up but I have to run it manually because I can't figure out how to get it to detect HDMI being plugged in :( I have a feeling I'll be reading tasker faqs tonight.

So did anybody else watch the new South Park last night?
[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
So its just the same as normal lapdock.

Does the network plug work and sd card reader?

Whats the best place to buy it? I don't see ones with int ship on ebay.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Haven't tried the ethernet port but the sd card reader works great. I was using a micro sd with a converter just fine. Mouse worked on usb, which was weird, mouse on Android and all. Overall, my only real complaint with it is how the phone's screen stays on when plugged into it -- I believe that can be worked around.

I bought mine from Amazon.com for $100 with free shipping. There were only 9 or so left at the time and it was a factory refurbished unit, but it looked and smelled brand new. Also came with a fat Motorola usb cable, not the skinny one the Atrix HD came with.
[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
Screen standby does just that, you need to configure it for hdmi detect and shake activation.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Thanks, but I know....just sucks having to run another app for something that should be a system function.
[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
Well you also have to install soundabout and the script manager too :laugh:
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
For those working on a Tasker solution, installing Screen Standby # Root adds HDMI detection into Tasker's States. About to flash Mex Retail since 4.3 isn't a good environment with the Laptops. On 4.3 Pac I've only been able to get the screen to work once out of what seems like hundreds of echo commands for various resolutions (0x27 for the curious ones). Also, 0x51 and 0x56 are 1366x768.
[Motorola Atrix HD] smogtdi:
sure the phone can do 768p but it will have to use the software to stretch the phone native 720p to the hdmi 768p.

so far the lapdock will handle the stretching on the lcd screen hardware.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
There's no mention of 768 anything in our hdmi kernel code. If you look in the Tegra hdmi code, for example, there is. As far as the 500 is concerned, only ICS is usable. With Stock JB the 720p options "work", but the display is seriously F'd up. On ICS, it uses 720p with max overscan. '

So far I've tested the 500 on 4.2 PAC (nothing), 4.3 PAC (nothing), HoloBlurX (garbled 720p, almost usable), ATT/Bell ICS (works perfectly after maxing out the overscan).

I wish we could figure out how to change the hdmi group and do something like the Pi guys are, thought they could just have better hdmi drivers.
[Motorola Atrix HD] smogtdi:
the Pi guys are also my source for the forced HDMI mode

Hi,

The app didnt work out on my Atrix HD, did you do any specific configuration?
[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
Detect hdmi methood only. Not atrix lapdock detect.

Wake methood: shake.

Be careful not to hit power button after you take it off the lapdock, but shake and disable the notification of screen standby first. If you hit power button it will stop looking for shake to wake up and you will need to restart phone or put it back to lapdock so it resets the shake function and looks for it again.
[Motorola Atrix HD] legendnexus:
I believe the forum users know that AHD stays behind the lapdock a bit dangerous. For this reason I got hdmi and usb extension cables to connect my AHD to the lapdock. Hdmi extension cable works however the usb cable on the labdock doesnt work. I tried to cable on my laptop to see if the cable is broken, cable is fully functional and works with all sync, debug options, etc.

I wonder does anyone try to use extension cables to hook up AHD with lapdock? if so, am I doing sth wrong or do i need to do any additional settings?

same thing (HoloBlur rom).

any solution?

upd. at&t stock ROM same...

then lapdock is closed and connect the AHD, it start charging and ask what type of dock did i connect.

then i open lapdock with connected AHD, it stop charging (hdmi extension cable works as it should) and not responce on any keys or touchpad.

maybe someone successfully using extension cables with atrix lapdock? i was waiting this cables for a month...

[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
It works fully, in correct resolution for me in my 4.4 custom rom, but only until you disconnect it from the dock the first time. After that the mediaserver(or some other process host) goes into a bootloop whenever you connect it.

Did someone tried to connect AHD with any new rom (last 4-6 weeks) to Lapdock?

Also after this happens the phone won't accept any change, you can restart it and the state is the same as before the first message window appeared.
