My ATRIX 2 with ICS OTA doesn't want to work with Bionic lapdock: the picture is squeezed vertically resembling 16x9 movie on a 4:3 screen. Is there a fix?
They said that in ICS we can't use lapdock.
At least do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37190597#post37190597
Well, you can use the lapdock, you're just not getting full lapdock functionality. I too have the Bionic dock, so I can't speak for how the Lapdock 100 or 500 work (or the lapdock for the OG Atrix for that matter), but mine does the screen mirror, which is perfectly fine for my purposes. Maybe someone with a 100 or 500 will see this thread and comment on it.
huh? ics webtop 3.0 should be working for you just fine.
its either the rom, or your connections.

It "should" , as in "I own a Bionic Lapdock and it flawlessly works with my OTA ICS ATRIX 2 or "should" as in I assume it works because you just like to "assume things" you have no actual knowledge about?

I am asking about Bionic lapdock specifically... So you have the Bionic Lapdock and it flawlessly works with your AT&T ATRIX 2 on OTA ICS?
Can you please confirm that?

first one, word for word, or as they say, pebcak
As I indicated in my post, it might not work completely as intended, but it does function just fine in mirror mode. I don't believe that it recognizes it as an official webdock, if that makes any sense. So you get the benefit of the keyboard and larger screen, but it also doesn't seem to send the signal to AT&T (or your respective carrier) that you're tethering. Or at least I haven't been dinged yet.
And yes, I am on OTA ICS, rooted, but that shouldn't make any difference for the purpose of this discussion.

I just tried another Bionic apdock and it works fine with the exception of audio not being routed through lapdock speakers. Mirror mode is not a webtop, most phone with HDMI out can do mirros mode. Amd yes the ROM makes all the difference here. Lapdock itself is just a dumb terminal with a battery.
I heard through assisting another user that changing the entitlement check value enabled him full usage of webtop.

Kudos for the link to that thread - I made that quick and easy edit and webtop worked much better, more responsive that way.
It appears that there are multiple Bionic Lapdocks iterations, I tried one that did not work well (screen was vertically squeezed despite trying all settings) with my ATRIX 2 OTA ICS and another (thankfully) that works just fine out-of-the-box. I can't however get my audio to route thorugh lapdock's speakers instead of the phone speaker or BT. ANybody has any ideas or knows about the fix?

Title says it all. HDMI is working now. Tested it with Netflix and ran smoothly on my TV
Excellent... this is one of my most fav things about moving to this phone. Glad it is working.
did they fix the sms issues too?
Yes the sms issue is fixed so is the calls not ringing. Ive been running it now for a day and have had absolutely no issues with its so its a keeper for me. However, i am hoping that GummyCharged gets ported to this leak.

So you can watch Netflix over the HDMI? That's freakin sweet! I was told by the Verizon rep that that would not be possible. Of course I knew more than him about the phone he was selling my mom, so that tells you something right there. I can't test it because I don't have the leak installed but it's nice to know that function will exist once we get an official ota update! Media Hub is a giant fail for not allowing that, just like iTunes!
JR Raphael has stolen ANOTHER idea of mine (just kidding, that guy's a friggin GENIOUS) and put together a comprehensive list of devices that will, should, might, and won't get ICS.

As he states, if you don't see your device, it probably means work is still in progress, and no decision has been made yet...

Try being an Atrix owner... There's a ton of upset forums on this...
Went through the list, didn't see anything for Atrix, so l just e-mailed the guy and we'll see his judgement. No matter what he says though, it's upto Moto, and as any Canadian would understand, through our "beloved" carriers.
If my Atrix doesn't get ICS, lm done with Moto forever.
Well...
Unfortunately today as i was sending a text message to a friend using the new 4.2 keyboard with flow, a girl came running down the hallway and managed to knock my phone out my hand with her book bag...the end result was not pretty. The phone fell about 5 feet straight face down unto the screen. My otterbox commuter did very little to shelter the phone...and the screen has cracked pretty much everywhere on the right side. The digitizer is completely fine, but the glass is terrible. So...instead of fixing it, or waiting six months for my upgrade eligibility to get a new iPhone 5, (i have an iPad and a MBP, so it would be logical to connect all three, to keep me more organized in school), i called AT&T and they have let me get a new SGSIII for the regular price with an early upgrade...so as Jim did, i seized the opportunity. Just wanted to say thanks to all the great developers we have here, its been a great pleasure, and they've worked their asses off to do some pretty amazing things with this phone. Ill still be around checking stuff out, and if anyone wants anything tested, im willing to use my MB865 AT&T as a guinea pig. My S3 wont be here till Friday or Monday, so after that if any of the developers want anything tested, im willing to run it.
Thanks for everything guys!

I don't think the Atrix HD supports Webtop/Tablet mode, so your lapdock won't get much benefit from it...

Meaning it will just mirror your phone's display on the larger screen, without changing resolution or utilizing available optimizations like tabbed web pages in the browser, split screen view in email etc.
Good to know it at least still functions somewhat compatibly I suppose.

I know, and thats just what I need
As in the topic, I just crossed over to the dark side from Atrix 4G and since I still have ATRIX 4G lapdock I attempted to use it with ATRIX 2.
Of course you have to flip the ports on the lapdock which is by itself just a 15 minute job, however what I am getting now is a vertically squeezed screen, it does not cover the whole screen. Does anybody know if there is a solution to this issue?
If not, will Photon , Bionic or any other lapdock properly work with ATRIX 2 on OTA ICS soft version 67.21.125?
First of all try connecting to a wifi connection, you should get the Webtop screen , it could be you have an entitlement check problem.
Thats what solved mine

The RAZR is compatible with both the lapdock 100 and lapdock 500 pro, I dont believe that there is a "RAZR lapdock". I've heard that the bionic dock is perfectly compatible though, its exactly the same as the atrix 4g dock (except the connectors are compatible with the A2, no modification necessary). I own an original atrix dock with flipped connectors - it works excellent for me. The only thing which doesn't work is audio volume through the dock - its either 100% or completely muted.

No it's Model MOTLPDK100. I've never seen the original, I'm understanding mine is a cheaper version.
Obvious differences are flipped connectors ( I still would love to hear why the jackasses did that) and connectors are on a cable now.
Compatibility is:
PHOTON 4G, DROID BIONIC, ELECTRIFY, ATRIX 2, RAZR, RAZR MAXX, DROID 4
I wish I would have gotten the lapdock 500. Still may do it since the jackasses have discontinued the lapdock concept now.
People still trip out when I make my phone a computer. Only god-like capability missing is ubuntu running in webtop on ICS.

I(and a load of others) had the exact same setup you are talking about. It worked perfectly. If you are on the motorola ICS rom or scv7, its should work without problem.
If you are having problems you need a proper rom, or you did a bad job with the connections, open it up, and shave some more off. Also see your settings>display> hdmi settings if you have the stretching enabled (forgot its name).

What firmware are you on?
AT&T leak #1. It also worked fine on 2.3.6, but it gave warnings about "incompatible dock type" and didn't run fullscreen until after a reboot. But on the ICS leak #1, it works perfect besides the audio volume bug.

You guys know that linux on android is a chrooted environment, and I would guess that the docks do not work the way you would expect. You have to VNC into the linux distro running on your android device.
This is not the same as webtop.
I have not given up on getting ubuntu back and working with webtop on ICS. I am working on so many projects right now, and work is crazy. It will be a little while before ubuntu webtop is back. I would hope to aim for mid Jan. for a working webtop with ubuntu working in ICS, and should work with other roms too, like CM10 and such.

Hey - are you with Verizon on Contract? No unlimited plan? If so - when I was on ICS my wifi tethering wasn't working (would turn on then turn off right away) so I called Verizon, they de-activated that feature then re-activated it and it started working (weird I know) but it also worked for another buddy of mine, so call and ask them to de-activate and re-activate the feature and you should be good!

I currently am off contract with an unlimited plan. Looks like FoxFi is not supported with the Razr Maxx HD running JB.
Verizon will probably want to charge me for the hotspot, so it may be best to leave them out of the picture.

Yeah, those new "share everything" plans are expensive, and losing unlimited data isn't an option. Nor is paying an extra $30 a month to the Empire for Internet access I already have. But unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be a stable tethering app for the RMHD with JB. Wait for FoxFi to update, maybe?

Before they got FiFox working for ICS, there was the possibility of going in and setting the variable for the VZW Hotspot from 1 to 0 - which meant that it wouldn't first check with VZW before enabling tethering. Does this option still work for those on JB who are rooted and can go in to make the modification?
{Personally, I don't yet have JB or I'd try to make the change myself. But hopefully this will give those on JB the option of hotspots.}

Foxfi wifi hotspot used to work great for me. Last night I needed it due to an internet outage at comcast and every time i connected windows crashed on my laptop! No idea why?
Then I tried bluetooth and my computer just kep trying to download razr maxx hd drivers. It couldn't because it had no internet and i never got to the blluetooth connect screen in which i could use bluetooth for internet.
Does foxfi bluetooth connect really work?
I'm on the latest version of foxfi with stock unrooted unmodified ics.
