Well guys im about at my witts end with this. My troubleshooting steps have led nowhere and dont know what to do next.
I am trying to hook up my Razr Maxx HD to my Lapdock 500. From what ive read this should work no problem just without the webtop software interface. This is fine as i have already found a tablet ui module for xposed. anyways when i hook up my phone the mouse and keyboard work perfectly but all that comes up on the display is gray lines. i have tried 2 separate lapdock 500's with the same result. I have also hooked up an original razr with the same gray lines.
now heres the twist...my brothers bionic works perfectly fine with webtop 3.0. I have double checked the hdmi port in my razr with a full sized hdmi adapter to my tv and it worked perfectly. i have also tried forcing 720p through a module thinking that it was possibly an out of range issue but it produced the same gray lines.
a little about my phone...my phone is rooted through the motochopper root and was rooted for the first time on 4.1.2. it was not rooted before it was updated.
System Version: 9.18.79.XT926.Verizon.en.US
Android Version: 4.1.2
Kernel Version: 3.0.31-g101ca72
Build Number: 9.8.1Q-79
Im not sure what of this information is relevant but i am desperate to get this to work or at least find out what the problem is so i can plan what to do next. My plan was to take this thing on my cruise with me on monday as i dont want to take my laptop with me...plus lets face it lapdocks are cool. so does anybody have any clue as to what could be happening here?

Has anyone been able to get the 3.5 mm to RCA adapter to work with the infuse because I have 2 and not all of my TVs are HDMI capable and the TV out settings menu is gone so is it possible

I'm pretty sure it is gone, due to MHL support (HDMI over USB) but if anybody could make it happen, I would love to see it. I don't own a single TV with HDMI, but have 1 component hdtv & composite/s-video sdtv. I would love to be able to use my infuse with them. I used the HDMI for the first time over at my girlfriends grandparents, and it was amazing. Would this be something possible to port over from the captivate once GB arrives, or would it require a too extreme of a sorcery to port over?

We may not have the hardware for it at all. If I ever get the time I'll look to see if there's hint of it in the kernel sources, but just to warn you, this particular item is very low priority for me. I haven't owned an analog-only TV in years.
it would also need a program to tell it it is connected to a tv. the phone whouldnt be able to tell if a tv or a microphone was connected.
is there any update on this yet?
anyone tried something already?
Thanks!

Froyo and this
Does anyone have the Motorola Atrix Lapdock? If so can you connect the Razr HD to it? I just picked one up online for 40 bucks and am curious.
Nope. Webtop was removed from the new Razr interactions. I was pretty bummed.

I wonder if there is an APK floating around out there....
There’s a system dump on almost every Razr forum. I've seen a couple guys mod their lap docks to work in mirror mode, but as far as the whole Webtop, maybe someone has a tut on it...

Apparently it does work - but with HDMI mirror mode, so you will get big chunky icons and fonts on the screen (regardless of being in 720p). Difference to Webtop 3.0 is that Webtop automatically changes the DPI turning it into "tablet mode" as opposed to "Phone mode". Webtop 2.0 uses Linux and not confident that this will be compatible.

Perhaps botbrew basil + debian + vnc + mirroring?
There are plenty of CHROOT solutions out there (Debian, Ubuntu, Backtrack) - just not sure how well they are. I've decided to choose the RAZR classic instead of the HD to replace my Atrix until someone figures out how to change the DPI settings on the fly between modes and getting higher resolutions (full screen) on the Lapdock.

To answer the OP's actual question, Yes you can connect it. It takes a bit of tinkering though. You have to dissasemble the dock part and revers the direction of the usb and hdmi ports. The lapdock will only function as a mirrored display + keyboard/mouse. It works none the less. I am sure the webtop app is redundant at this point in time due to the convergence of androids desktop like features.
The display itself is a bit washed out but a great buy if you want a bit more screen real estate while traveling for netflix, hulu movies etc.
Also, If you are saavy and they are in stock, you can go to radio shack and pick these up for $9.97. I work at RS and have bought most of the remaining ones from our district so good luck elsewhere!
I have acquired a Driod Bionic Lapdock which mates perfectly with and charges my Photon Q. Has anyone been able to install a version of Webtop that allows them to fully utilize a Photon Q with a Lapdock? I've seen there are versions of Webtop for the Atrix available on XDA - any thoughts on whether or not that would work with my Photon Q? Thanks in advance for any input/advice!
I have the exact same situation. Can't find much of anything out there. It's sad that this phone didn't receive much interest from anyone either. Almost no dev happened/happening at all it seems. The device actually has decent guts and I'd LOVE to figure out how to put webtop on it. Or even something that will just allow the keyboard to interface with the device in mirror mode. I might actually prefer that MORE than clunky webtop but i'm sure there is more of a chance of getting webtop to work on it than that happening
Could you please help me with choice: what is better - photon q+android tablet or photon q+bionic lapdock=mirror mode?
hard to decide, because in Russia we have no lapdock, so I will order one. Is it usable in mirror mode?i heard that with some firmware and mousepad and keyboard will work without issues.
i have the atrex 4G and i am up grading. I just want to know if i can get webtop for the razr hd because i know it does not come with the new devices any more please if any one know any thing about webtop please help me out.

Hy there,
Mikoyano, you can look at this link first. You will see that there is another post about it.

At yet, no way to make webtop works with the Razr Hd; because of the docking way, and because of the webtop app.
I can't seem to get a working output from my optimus 3d, ( with the hdmi adapter plugged in to my tv)
specs :
Android 4.0.4
Baseband Version : OMAP4430/XMM6260
Kernel Version : 3.0.2.1
Build Number : ICS
Software Version : P920-30a-Eur-xx
Yes! I have the same problem too. Since the official Android 4 update my HDMI out is not working. Any solutions?

Some people have written to try another tv or monitor, or try running a video or something before connecting cable. Mine works on a pc monitor. Not sure why there seems to be an issue with tvs...
Mine works good with big screen tv
I have tried both my full hd television 16:9 and my pc monitor, but there doesn't seem to be a signal
My firmware is v30C (Canadian). I'm in the US. If you can get to Best Buy or some retailer maybe try on some other brand tvs. I have not actually tried mine on a tv, only my monitor. V30C is the first firmware that I have even tried using hdmi. For the pc monitor you might need the monitor drivers installed on your pc if you don't already. On mine I have to press a button on the monitor to change input to hdmi. It's probably the same way on a tv (I assume you did that) So you are on stock ics, not a custom rom?
Custom ROM and ICS worked for me (even though I had to enjoy odd rotation in CM10 :/ but still I don't have problem with my ancient 7 years old Toshiba LCD HDTV which is currently being used as a computer monitor via HDMI).

I wonder what the H-E-double-hockey-sticks is the issue with stock?
Dunno, never bothered with sound though - I turned all volumes on my phone down (just so I don't hear the annoying modem tones), and set to vibration but I bet audio may work on CM10, though.
But, here's my takes against the TV; variance of audio chipsets and firmwares. If the firmware isn't even done right (it's common to find unfinished BIOS in all HDTV's built-in computers due to, well, being cheap), there are lot of things missing. So, HDMI specification apparently isn't being strictly followed even though I don't think O3D have problems of following the specification, unless the firmware's whacked. Who knows.
