Hi all guys,
Yesterday I bought a Atrix 4G lapdock very cheap , but when I tried to connect my phone (Motorola Atrix 2), it didn't work and I turn the connectors (HDMI, USB) for my atrix 2, when I did this I could connect the phone to the lapdock but when I opened the lapdock appears the Desktop for 5 seconds and suddenly it freeze and on the phone appears a message "UNSUPPORTED DEVICE This device is not optimized to work with this lapdock model".
- Is there something that I can do ??
Please any solution... Thanks
Thanks I found the solution
Ok guys I found the solution Thankss
so is it works?

To use the phone as a laptop? Webtop HDMI mod doesn't get you a free laptop.

There are ways to connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, Idk. Just don't see the purpose in it.

Okay but what I don't understand is, if you have a laptop, why would you connect the phone in webtop mode to that? Your laptop should be capable of more than your phone. Or maybe I'm missing something? Not being sarcastic or anything I just seriously do not understand the point of it

One of the things that would entice me to use my phone as opposed to my laptop would be the easy ability to keep your computer's and phone's files in sync, and multitasking on your phone's view as well as a full laptop.

Atrix 4G lapdock Motorola Atrix 2
I have a similar situation as above. I flipped the connections on the original lapdock for my Atrix-2 but webtop opens for a few seconds on my screen and then freezes and on the phone appears a message "UNSUPPORTED DEVICE..". I am at stock 2.3.6 rooted.
Any solution to this?

Literally the most unhelpful thing you could say here. It's like saying "Everyone! I have cancer! " and then for your next post saying "I found a cure! "
What -was- the solution?
This should be in the Atrix 2 accessories forum.
Full reboot is the easy solution in my experience

I've mod'ed three of those OG Atrix Lapdocks (2 for atrix 2's and one for a droid razr). It's a simple mod just swapping the connectors, and any problems I had getting the webtop to come up properly were resolved by simply completely rebooting the phone. Once I did the full reboot and everything loaded back up I dropped it into the Lapdock and had no issues with functionality. My phone constantly shows the unsupported device note on 2.3.6 rooted, but it has no effect on the use of the Lapdock.
I'm hoping to try the full Ubuntu mod eventually, but haven't come up with the time to tackle it yet.

It's smaller than most laptops. Don't get me wrong, I'd much prefer a MacBook Air (pretty much incomparably better in fact) but this is $60 instead of $999. I have lots of devices but the one thing I don't have at the moment is an ultraportable laptop (my laptop is powerful but it's pretty big, more of a desktop replacement), so this fills the gap nicely.
They started out at $500 and I'd agree with your logic at that price. They should be ashamed at that one actually, considering most of the computing power is in the phone.

I'm lost. Aren't you supposed to plug it into a laptop to get webtop mode? Please explain it to me, I know with the hack I have used webtop mode on my TV. Is the lapdock a small monitor or just a cradle that enables webtop mode and you still need a medium to connect to?

I recently bought one of these but can't seem to get it working on my tv or laptop. I watched the official htc how-to video and it says to make sure the tv and phone are connected to same wifi. My questions include:
what is the purpose of both being on same wifi if I already have an mhl adapter and hdmi cable connecting my phone and tv?
how do I set this up? And for my laptop?
Do I need a newer tv to do this? My tv is 37" 1080p but doesn't have built-in wifi or anything like that.
I've also heard the term "mhl-capable tv"...how do I know if mine is capable?
Thanks for any help!

Try plugging your micro-usb cable into the side of the MHL cable. Then plug the AC adapter end into an outlet. You need to be charging your Sensation in order to use the HDMI out.

Ya I did that, and I get the hdmi out icon in my status bar and as soon as I plug it in, my tv detects the new signal but my phone doesn't see the tv cuz its not on same wifi. So my question is why is wifi necessary if its already connected via mhl and hdmi? And also how can I set up the wifi for the tv or do I need an even newer tv to do this?

Yeah that first part about being on the same WiFi doesn't even make sense. When I got my MHL adapter, I took it over to a friends house plugged it into his TV and it worked like a charm.
I did not have to reset my phone though, I don't know why that would make a difference or not but it can't hurt to try.
I have the mhl + hdmi cable, you don't need a WiFi connection. It just needs to be charging, connected thru the adapter's side, and connected to the TV with the hdmi cable.
BTW there is no WiFi in a place I use it often.

Anyone tried watching an xvid movie on your tv via the MHL adaptor?
If you have, is it working ok?
For me, the quality of the picture is very much depending on which player
I use. The best one that I have tried is "Dice player". But no matter what I do I can´t get any "flow" in the picture. It is always "choppy".
Any suggestions of how to solve it? If it can be solved...

I could be wrong, but this is what I've read:
I don't think anyone's tried it yet. You could be the first to try it and report back!
I bought an OTG cable (this is the adapter you'll need, it's a pretty easy google search) for my HTC Jetstream, but that's still running HC 3.1, and doesn't support this feature yet. Hence, the cable has wound up in an unknown box/drawer/under my bed. If I can find it, I'll test this out with the One X and give'er a shot.

Yeah, that really pisses me off. Everyone does it though. It's the same on the HP Touchpad. 32GB my a**, only 25 is usable. On the One X actually, even 12GB is misleading. 2 of that is dedicated to apps, bringing your "sdcard" down to 10. (9.93 to be more precise.)

Is it worth it to spend $150 to get the keyboard dock and why?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
For me: yes. I'm a sysadmin which means I sometimes need some specific app, or really need a mouse and keyboard combo. I've got ASUS' included rebranded Splashtop remote HD installed on my home PC, and with the dock it's just like I'm at home.
The dock (for me) really takes the tablet from a neat toy/time waster to a productive tool, it really replaced my laptop.
^this works for me as well
What I like about the dock
Keyboard is much easier to use for typing than the "virtual one".
Keyboard Shortcuts and specialized function keys (e.g. Home, Menu, Media Controls)
Looks/Feels like a netbook computer.
Battery boost
Extra SD Card Slot
It closes to protect the screen.
Very glad I bought it.

Yes but it still works even if the battery is depleted. Yes it has a usb and you can use a usb hub to connect more than one peripheral.
yes, it adds a whole new dimension to your tablet. plus the extra battery life, full size USB port, and full size SD card slot. it can't be beat.
The only thing I don't like is how top heavy it is.

Instead of connecting the charger cable to the tablet you connect it to the dock when the tablet is docked. Nothing special.

I waited about a week to get the dock only because I was broke lol. Went to gamestop today and traded in a bunch of stuff to get the dock and a case.
I am very happy and impressed. I need a laptop at all times for work and to log into my home pc, and this just cut inches and weight from me carrying my laptop in its bag on my back while driving my scooter lol.
With the usb port I can either connect my external HDD or controller, then you have another sd card slot on top of that. Went from 32gb to 80gb lol.
All the tablet specific buttons and everything make it totally worth the $150. Now it just looks like a netbook but better.
I found one online for $131 but i might go trade stuff at game stop and get it for $150
Actually $160 with taxes :/

Yes. With the right mhl adaptor it is entirely possible.
As far as controlling them with the lapdocks.... No. We dont have the software needed. You should still be able to display to them though.

I think the mouse and keyboard on the lapdock is just usb. So as long as i can get it all wired right I think it should work. Any idea what the right MHL adapter is?
I wouldn't risk it tbh. You would have to splice and dice. If i remember correctly, the laptops are made for a dual connection, ie. HDMI and USB at the same time. I'm not sure that this phone is capable of that, seeing as the USB and mhl have to go into the same place.
I think I remember seeing someone trying this before and it failed.
Just about and HDMI adapter on amazon should work. The one I got years ago cost me maybe $8 with shipping.

sorry thought this was on the g2 q&a my bad
Using a Samsung micro USB - HDMI worked fine for me using the GPE rom. I was able to have my screen display on my TV with no issues. I was hoping to use this to stream FIOS Mobile to a Hotel TV. Unfortunately, when FIOS Mobile sees an HDMI connection, it won't stream
You do need to power this connection. If not, you'll get nothing. This is the cable I used...
So maybe my original post wasnt clear? I know we can get hdmi out of the usb port. What i wanted to know is if there is an adapter that allows you do hdmi out AND connect a usb mouse or keyboard at the same time. On the samsung s4 or s5 or one of them, there was a media dock that allowed this. Not sure if the hardware is here on the m8 to do something similar.
EDIT: This thing: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-S20JWEGSTA
I think samsung uses a proprietary 11pin mhl to do what im talking about. Pretty sure the m8 just has the normal mhl, 5 pin or whatever so this isnt possible. If anyone knows different let me know. I sure wish this phone had a dedicated micro hdmi port.
