Using atrix 4g lapdock with atrix hd phone, but the screen isn't filled! Please help! - General Questions and Answers

Hello! I recently modded an atrix4g lapdock for use with my atrix hd. All systems are go except for the screen. It's like a widescreen movie, but worse! I need help ásap please. I think possibly installing a different webtop environment would remedy this, but I've not the means to procure it. Please help me figure this out, i want my little brother to have a "laptop" lol.
Thank you, in advance.

I modified my atrix lapdock and am using it with my Droid Razr Maxx HD. Pretty cool stuff. Keyboard and mouse work. But like the OP my screen is not full screen. Any way to fix this?

[Q] Screen recording

Hello, guys!
Here's the deal: I got this Xoom (MZ604), with android 3.1, unrooted.
I'm in a Mac computer
and I want to, somehow, capture the screen actions, in video format.
What do you guys recommend me?
record via the mac, some app that records (I know one, but it doesn't work with tegra devices - like the Xoom, right?)? do I have to root it? Better to upgrade to some ICS first and do something?
Anyways, any kind of help will be very welcome.
Looking forward to your answers!
Thank you very much!

No support for tegra yet. But please let us know if something pops up. Actually, there may be a way using hdmi-out to a capture card. Hmmm.
So stuff like this doesn't work?

Actually, I'd never seen that before. Ill check it out tonight.

ICS Webtop

Well I plugged in my HDMI cable to see what would happen after and it presented me with a chooser than included Webtop! I tapped it and boom... no ubuntu, but a tablet view. Anyone have a lapdock to see if this is the new webtop for sure?

Nope ubuntu is now gone... I am planning a new hack to bring ubuntu back, I still have the old webtop files and all the scripts that make it run... so that is in the works.

Awesome man, thank you. I like the tablet view but would MUCH prefer Ubuntu
Yeah, this is the new "webtop" its 3.0. Droid razr users have the same thing, I doNT have a lap dock to test this, but I've been super curious as to if there would be any webtop without the actual dock connectors. Thank you for confirming this though!

I would like the choice to do both. It would seem to me that if they are just doing tablet view, then the old webtop partition would be unused. I would like the choice to do tablet view or "old" webtop.

Awesome. I don't like the "webtab" on my lapdock. It will be great to see the ubuntu back.
Awesome, Waiting for your great work!

Now that the thread is resurrected, ill say this, the only huge advancement for the new webtop is that all multilang key assignments there are on android, work for the lapdocks hw layout, where as for ubuntu, there were only a couple of choices.

Total noob here with a good sense of adventure :cyclops: I have the lapdock (modified so i can dock my A2) and been using it for the pass three days running ICS! Comparing it to the old webtop this one is much easier to use and faster, youtube and netflix run smoothly,everything worsk well while on wifi and using my bluetooth headset also the tether works as well after i did the mod :good:
I want to thank jimbridgman and everyone else who i cant think of right now that has made this possible.
Some launchers can not display correctly in the new webtop 3.0.0.
And HDMI mirror mode can not be used in portrait.
Webtop 2 vs 3

I have compared two of them side by side. There is no true netbook/desktop experience in webtop 3. there is no firefox. Even if you view desktop sites on ICS chrome, they look crappy, the resolution is suboptimal. Webtop 2 had google docs and citrix support (that was awesome, I could do my office work and make presentations), Webtop 3 doesnt. I have lapdock 500 and ICS on 14 inch screen doesnt look pretty. It looks overstretched. It cant utilize the full resolution of lapdock 500s screen.

this is true, its much better to use stock ics launcher in SCV7 too. you can find it in the leaks .zip along with the configurator apk
HOW on earth is anyone managing to get Webtop mode to even engage on the Atrix 2 running ICS?? I plug mine into the Lapdock 500 and it just automatically goes straight into landscape mirror mode, every single time, NEVER Webtop/tablet mode ever!! It gives me no choice at all ever, it just mirros the phone's landscape display with the notification bar still at the top, not at the bottom as it should be in tablet mode. I am running the first/original ICS leak pure, but have also tried custom ROMs such as ScV7. Same result every time.
What am I doing wrong??

I have gotten it to work now as well after disabling the "Entitlement Check" nonsense that was preventing webtop from activating correctly. Now I have another problem though, in that the mouse pointer/cursor is a gigantic white arrow that takes up a lot of space on screen.. Under the original pure ICS leak it was a regular small/normal pointer, but under the latest ScV7 ROM it's enormous. I'm wondering whether any of the wizards here know how to replace this with a more usable pointer arrow..?

you have probably firuged that out by the time i write this, but when your phone is booted up while connected to the dock, the mouse will be a big android icon... just unconnect and connect the phone, it will be fine.

Actually, under the ScV7 ROM I was finding that every other time I'd connect the phone to the lapdock, even already fully on and booted, I'd get the gigantic white mouse pointer. It would alternate between that and the proper smaller black one, each time I disconnected and reconnected. Perhaps I did something wrong during flashing/setup and it isn't the fault of the ROM. However on stock original first leak it always works correctly, and on the near-stock second leak ROM it also seems to be okay.
I could not play a movie but got the doc running. Even tried just mirroring. Any suggestions. This is first time trying the hdmi from atrix2 so be gentle

I've seen the lapdock used by things other than a phone
http://cdn3.sbnation.com/entry_phot...apdock_1_JPG_large_verge_medium_landscape.jpg
http://www.adafruit.com/adablog/wp-...10/RaspberryPi_MotorolaLapdock_MobileWill.jpg
So I can only assume it's just a hdmi monitor and usb hub/keyboard. What does it do when you plug the phone in?
Photon Q have no Webtop Mode inside like Droid4. My Atrix Lapdock also doesn't work as Webtop (only as Monitor)

Is there an apk or root method or hack or something to enable it to work? I wanna able to use my keyboard and everything else

Not even by a root and installing files that was extracted from a phone that had it? Not possible? I remember seeing someone post they had it working with the OG evo but idk remember where i seen it and how they did it and exactly what did n didnt work but they were using the 2 together
Anyone have any luck getting webtop or something similar on the photon q?
My brother gave me one of the clearanced atrix lapdocks for Christmas. I took apart the docking section and got the connectors out so it will hook up to the photon Q... As reported, it mirrors the screen and charges the photon Q no problem...
Has anyone figured out a way of getting the webtop or something similar on the photon Q, which will let the lapdock mouse/keyboard work with it?
Thanks!
also interested in this. using the bionic dock and only get mirroring. It would be awesome if we could figure out a way for these docks to just communicate with the Q in mirror mode. I'd rock that.
any one get mouse/keyboard working with it? i can get mouse or keyboard to work via otg cable but not the hub inside the lapdock itself

[Q] HBO Go. Is this a known issue?

Happy new year to everyone!
I've tried to find info on this matter, but I haven't found anything anywhere, I hope somebody here would be able to help with this.
I have HBO Go installed on my ex-Kindle Fire running AOSP JELLY BEAN 4.2.1_r1. . It works fine; closed captions, great image quality, etc. But for some reason it won't prevent the device from going to sleep while playing. Does anybody know if this is a known issue?
Is there something I can do at this end to make it work? How?
I depend heavily on this app to survive the long, boring nights behind the front desk, and this issue is really annoying. Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Bump up. Nobody?

[Q] XT926 & Macro ??

I did a search and did not find an answer... Please forgive me if I missed it.
So far I love my Razr M HD, I had the Razr M at first because it was smaller and slimmer but I couldn't stand the pixilated screen!
The one downfall to this phone is no Macro. Whats up with that!?
I've tried several third party apps to no avail.
Is this a hardware issue or firmware, anyone know?
Thanks!
Bump. No One?
Belated bump.
maybe you've had more time to play with the phone... anyone figured out?
