[Q] Dock options not launching - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I have a 1.8.3 AT&T Atrix (update from 1.5.7 with retainroot) other than that it's pretty much stock. However since updating i've noticed when I plugin to my Multimedia dock nothing pops up to launch - not even the clock option when theres no detected HDMI output.
However when the TV is setup to that output I do see the "M" logo floating around - I can't see how to manually launch any of the AT&T apps to test the functionality either!
Please help
UPDATE:
Usually the remote control I can manually launch the Entertainment Mode (Top left button) but when selecting webtop it just goes back to desktop, still no auto launch when plugging into dock.... must be something missing. Only app I've uninstalled is blockbuster.

theres a funky issue with the adapter being plugged into a power strip. If that applies, try plugging it directly into an outlet and see if that works.

Thanks for the suggestion but did not change my situation. Moved my dock from bedroom TV to my monitor and getting same results (but able to test things much faster
It's clear to me when inserted into the Dock, the phone notices and changes the screen output right away (M logo on TV) and the screen on the phone "refreshes" but the application which launches and asks you what you want to do doesn't launch.
Damn thing - driving me batty now, I might just re-SBF and see how I go!
UDPATE: I think I see the problem, during my 1.8.3. update it failed on the radio, according to MANFIEST.MF that is not the last thing it applies, the very next items are webtop/etc
going to try modify the MANIFEST.MF & updater-script to skip updating the radio band and apply the update.zip again hopefully it'll continue patching the webtop mod and it will function again.

All done & fixed, turns out that was the problem and the solution. Weird, wonder if anyone else had the problem where the baseband image would not apply when doing the 1.8.3 update.
If so, see above, you can modify your update-script to skip that step and then manually apply HSUPA update separately. Once again not sure how I got into this mess, potentially having HSUPA update on before 1.8.3 upgrade was my problem in the first place...

I have the same issue with the official orange fr 4.2.0 (2.2.2) rom after flashed it with rsd lite... I tried to flash other sbf, but nothing works, I can't use my laptop and hd docks anymore...
Do you know a way to correct this issue ?

Dock not working?

My dock arrived a little while ago, so I charged it and then connected to the tablet. It showed that an update was available so I installed the update.
While the mousepad works and it is currently charging the tablet ... none of the keys seem to work.
Any idea what could be wrong? Is mine defective or is there a simple configuration I'm not aware of? Just in case I disabled Thumb Keyboard and I have the Asus keyboard selected (Use physical keyboard is set to ON as well).
Pull tablet out of dock.
Put tablet back in dock.
Fixed?
Unfortunately no. Same situation. Cursor and multi-touch work, but no keys.
Should I assume no one has seen this issue?
try lock key
In the upper right? Doesn't appear to do anything

Did you try the keyboard prior to the update, or is this a new problem post update?

Unfortunately I didn't try it prior to the update since the notification appeared basically right away.
At that point I had only used the pad to move the cursor around. So it is possible the keys never worked, but I suppose it is also possible they worked pre-update.
dock problems of my own
I got the transformer about a little less than a week ago, installed the update, everything was fine. today i got the dock, it seemed to work, saw the firmware update, clicked to update, "Update Failed." Tried again, again failed. Now the transformer doesn't even recognized that its connected. No matter what I do, it won't be recognized... what should i do?
Thanks in advance.
Hi
yesterday, I bought my TF with keyboard. After playing a while, I decided to root them. After succesfully rooting process I installed custom ROM (3.1 from moDaCo page) . It was all the time inserted into dock station but for customising I pull it out. When I insert TF to dock the keyboard stops response. TouchScreen was active. I saw small icon with "!" that update for dock station failed. I re-run the update process (using touch navigation) but it won't progress at all (still 0). Then I reboot TF, and try to start update again. With success. Now all is working perfectly.
Maybe this description helps you somehow.
good luck.
Keyboard not working
I am now experiencing the original issue from this thread. I can not find any other threads describing this exact issue.
Here is the message that I sent Asus support. No reply yet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keyboard on my docking station stopped working. no errors it just stops. Battery still charges the tablet....Touchpad still works (and buttons)....closing and opening the tablet still shuts off and turns on screen.
No keys work. If I disable the keyboard through the android interface (Use Physical Keyboard = Off) the onscreen keyboard works fine (Current Keyboard is set to ASUS Keyboard).
I have tried
multiple apps
rebooting
undocking and redocking
hitting every key one at a time
hitting every key at the same time
closing the tablet and reopening it
device has not taking any shocks
battery is full
no contact with water
Last time I touched it it worked. it just stopped working.
Here is some additional information that I have learned.
I have tried a second keyboard dock and it does not work either.
I have done a restore to factory state with no change.
Tablet: B50 32gb Not Rooted and current on all asus updates.
Keyboard: B60 no updates available from asus.
I have the same issue
First, put your keyboard on another tablet and make sure the keyboard works. If the keyboard fails on two tablets the keyboard ribbon tape in the dock may be bad, e.g. RMA.
Then, two steps that might work:
(1) reapply the latest update via manual update
(2) factory reset
Might try in any order:
1 & 2
2 & 1
others.
Good luck.

As i stated above i tried two docks and both experienced the issue.
Mine started while the dock was plugged in so a damaged port is unlikely.
As stated above a factory reset has already been done.
I downloaded the firmware updater from the asus ftp site and extracted the asus folder to /microSD with no effect. I can't get a manual update to run. What might i be doing wrong.
I confirmed that the downloaded firmware and current firmware are US
I Confirmed that the zip file is in /asus/update

Might check:
download file corruption
file name extension .zip or .ZIP ?
various folder locations, e.g. root folder microsd vs update
directory or filename might be case sensitive?
I searched for instructions from a couple threads and the ASUS pdf and tried a few things before it worked for me. I do not remember exactly which worked, sorry.
Best wishes and good luck!
This worked for me:
1.Make it so your screen is set to "NEVER" turn off. Put max brightness, maybe play a game or something. Let your battery die. (without the dock)
2.Charge your pad without the battery until it's 100% full. Test to see if it is working. It should be but no guarantees.
3. If you have a dock, charge it as well. You should be able to use your keyboard and the battery life should be visible.
mine has been fine. Not sure if step 1 is needed. If mine stops working again I'll try to reply here.

I put screen to Never Turn off, max brightness, and played a game until the battery completly died.
I charged my pad with out the keyboard to 100%.
No effect.
I'm charging the keyboard right now.
Battery life has always been visible for me.
Well I finally got ahold of ASUS Support. They are having me RMA both my tablet and keyboard (not sure why the keyboard is being RMA'd since it works fine on my friends tablet) I hope I don't get a bad unit back as my current unit has minimal light bleed (not even noticable outside the boot screen) no creaking and my keyboard is a B60 so no issue with battery drain.
I had this issue but fixed it doing what I said. It hasn't come back for days! Also installed different roms and whatnot.

[Q] 2.3.5 webtop lapdock+HDMI hack problem (no keyboard/mouse)

Basics:
So I just got the lapdock from the AT&T store and it's pretty neat (especially the part where I don't have to sacrifice a computer monitor for the phone.) I was screwing around with it a bit and I had just reloaded The Darkside 4.2 ROM and it comes with HDMI already hacked (which I still want to use as well, just FYI) and it was working fine.
When CM to 2.3.5 webtop (found elsewhere on the forum) it shows the phones display as on with the trackpad/buttons. Not a big deal since the lapdock's screen hides it nicely. The problem is that now the keyboard/pad on the lapdock proper don't respond to any input at all. Just tested my external keyboard/mouse through the USB ports as well with the same result.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Is there a setting I can change to switch active input? Even better, is there an app that can provide a shortcut to such a toggle?
EDIT: Solved! All that was needed was a reboot.
Try rebooting your phone and giving webtop another go. If you're still having issues, go into Recover, wipe the OSH partition, and re-install the 2.3.5 Webtop via fruitcake.

[Q] 4.0 keeps connecting/disconnecting from PC

Hey guys, I'm having a little problem here with my Player 4.0 . Whenever I connect my device to my computer, it will connect for a second, then disconnect, and keep going like that for a few minutes, until it just completely disconnects. I'm trying to install Terrasilent kernel so that I can install Ethereal rom, however, with it doing this I'm unable to use odin to do so.
I have Kies installed and all, I've already tried troubleshooting, and I've already tried changing usb ports. The only thing I have yet to try is use another computer, but I want to know if there's anything else I can try to fix this. Another thing is, the device has an icon that looks something like this:
*phone* -- [!] -- *computer*
What are you're settings in wireless and networks -> usb settings? For Kies you need to (how surprising) Kies. Choose mass storage to mount the internal SD card.

Your microusb cable may be going. I had a bad cable initially, and I had to hold it just right to get things to flash successfully, which was a lot if fun while trying to fix a completely bricked device . Also, that image is forced download mode, which means that a flash failed previously. Just connect it to the computer while that image is showing, and it should pop up in Odin, if it actually connects.

I've tried my GSII cable, my 4.0 cable, and a blackberry cable, none had seemed to work. I ended up fixing my sister's laptop today, and tried it there, surprisingly, it worked. I had a similar issue back when I owned an iPod, and it just wasn't working on my computer. Oddly enough, my GSII is fine with my computer, never had to use another.
Anyways, I had gotten everything working right, flashed terrasilent and your rom on the thing, my sister seems to like it bunches, although there are a few issues (things randomly force closing, even the status bar managed to force close on itself, also some visual bugs (when pulling down the status bar). Eagerly waiting for the next update, my sister as well :3

I think it has something to do with the drivers. I remember that mine wouldn't connect at all to my computer, and I had to use my other one like you lol. So basically I had to completely uninstall Kies, and the drivers that the player installed on my computer. Then I reinstalled everything and made sure they installed properly. It worked fine after that.

Sounds like you need a full wipe. Did you wipe cache/dalvik before you flashed? The visual bug is an issue with my theming that I have been fruitlessly trying to fix, but it's better then the statusbar not working at all, which was the case int he last version.

Yes, I wiped cache and dalvik cache beforehand. I've also tried setting the device to stock rom, wiping, reflashing terra, and then flashing your rom again, still get random force close messages. (ex. "play store is not responding")
I'm thinking it was a bad zip, probably gonna redownload the rom, things like this have happened to me before on my GSII, only it resulted in.. bricks.

[Q] Razr has no display - can I fix it?

A buddy sent me his Droid Razr Maxx after he dropped the phone and smashed it's glass screen. I'm trying to see what I can salvage from it. The phone does not show a display under any circumstances. It will boot up (I can hear the default boot up sounds). The navigation buttons light up. When I plug the phone into my PC the internal hard drive shows up. I can add and remove files. But so far, that's it.
I had hoped that I could use HDMI Out as an alternate way to see the screen but so far I can't make that work. I've got software that I've used on my own Razr Maxx to root it, to factory restore and to flash custom ROMs but I know that his phone was pure stock and I can't get to the settings I'd need to change to let the software "see" the phone.
What else should I be trying to get something from this phone? If I could make the phone functional again that'd be great, but even if all I could do was get the HDMI Out to work I'd use it as an Android computer on my HDTV (I've done this with my own phone and it's way better than the Android "sticks" but I don't like tying up my phone). Without any clue what's on the screen I've got no shot to do the things I'd normally do to modify the phone.

Ehm, the first thing I ask myself is: When the screen if broken, how do you want to use the phone?? Also when you get output on your TV - the touchscreen wouldn't work (I guess).
However, I would read the logs first, especially the kernel logs (dmesg, last_kmsg) via adb shell, and see if I can find something related to the screen. The stock kernel has DSS Debug ON, so you will see several entries in dmesg in case that the touch device responses to the kernel.
You can slo control most functions of the device via adb shell - i.e. enable HDMI (assuming stock (based) rom is installed), install and run apps, debugging and much more. But you need to know how to use it of course.

As to how I'd use the phone, assuming that the touch screen cannot be resurrected, if I can activate HDMI Out then I'd use the phone as an Android "media device" on my HDTV. This is the main reason I wanted the phone in the first place. I've read up on the Android "sticks" that plug into HDMI ports on TVs and then you can stream Netflix or access a browser, etc. They all need a separate power source (via USB usually) and most of them get poor reviews for wifi reliability, root-ability, etc. But since I've already used my Maxx HD in precisely this way from time to time I know that an Android phone could do this same thing, probably better. Assuming I can get the main functions of the broken phone to work I'd activate Bluetooth to connect a mini keyboard/touchpad. I've used that on my Maxx HD. That way you can control every phone function without ever having to touch the screen.
I've never been very good at adb shell unless I was simply trying to follow precise directions but I think I understand what you're saying about being able to input some commands using that approach. I'll read up.
I guess you are talking about the mini PCs with android. I'm. Not sure but I would say they have correct drivers for remote control - the razr would need that in its kernel first.... Only my thought.
But a keyboard or mouse on Bluetooth could work - assuming you can enable bt in the phone without using the screen..

Review - Leelbox Q2 TV Box android 6.0/2G/8G/64Bits/Amlogic S905X

I noticed there weren't many posts on Leelboxes on XDA so I'll provide some quick input for anyone who may search for a review or want to ask questions.
Recently I bought a Q2 on Amazon and finally set it up last night.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N63M03X/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Opening the box/contents
-The box had some wear on it but overall in decent shape
+Comes with power cable, hdmi, remote (no batteries)
-The box had a fairly strong plastic/soldering smell and ins't very appealing visually
Setup
- Plugging in the power starts up the device so I had everything (HDMI, mouse/keyboard) already plugged in/No physical power button
++ Quick boot up and short animation screen
-/+ Decent launcher screen probably depends on preference
-/+ Needed to adjust the screen area down to 90% as it was displaying outside of my viewing area
- Remote sluggish
+ Wireless USB keyboard and mouse are plug and play
- Still haven't figured out how to turn off the on-screen keyboard as the settings menu is device specific
- Playstore and adding Google account FC'd the first time I opened it
Customizing
+++++ Installed SuperSu from Playstore and went through the "normal" non-recovery install process successfully!
+ Installed Leanback Launcher/Google TV v1.14 (newer versions FC) APK from APK mirror and home launcher switcher
++ Kodi and addons preinstalled and setup
-Google Now launcher has icon text issues (words are cut off)
+Installed hidden settings
Performance
+ 5ghz wifi running well
- Some UI lag/stuttering
- App install a little slower than hoped
- Device comes with a memory cleaner button on the provided launcher. Once mem usage hits 80%, stuttering gets annoying. Installed memory cleaner and still evaluating.
+ Video very smooth in Kodi and Youtube
More to come but hope this helps.
How is the leelbox Q2 running? Have you tried miracast with a Windows10 laptop? Looking for a device to primarily do this.

Still running well. Mainly use it for Kodi and YT. I found an older version of Nexus Player launcher that works (except suggestions) and looks better than stock.
One complaint I do have, I couldn't get any emulators to recognize USB gamepads. If you want to do any of that, I'd stay away.
I haven't tried Miracast at all but I will if you're still interested. Let me know.
Hey there... I have a question for you. How's the video playback on your box?? I really this box, especially since it has Bluetooth and there is hardly any lag, however, I have had bad luck with it from the get-go. My video playback is horrible! The screen flickers and goes really dark when the scene is shot at night or it's indoors. Sometimes my tv goes black and if it weren't for the captioning, you'd think it's just off. Then the image perks up when the scene is outside or a really bright shot. It really does a number on my eyes as it's a constant thing. I did reach out to their customer service and they have been responsive and sent over instructions to try and fix this, but that hasn't worked. I even got the box replaced, but the issue persists. I'm thinking maybe it's a setting at this point. Would you happen to know if there is a fix to this or is there anything you would suggest? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Kodi seems a bit darker so I have an display setting on my TV that I toggle to vibrant and its much better. HBO Go feels the same. Other than those though, Youtube and Netflix are fine.
Any chance your HDMI cable is bad?
if it's bricked but usb burning tool recognize it but it's stuck at 2% with Romcode/Initialize DDR/Read initialize status/USB Control setup error, do someone know how to unbrick it?

I haven't tried flashing a new rom for this device yet so I may not be the best to help you. But from what I've read, the USB burning tool is your best bet. From experience, it may be a good idea to try flashing with another computer. Also, re-download the imgs.

Hello! Sorry for the late reply, but I have changed HDMI cables twice and changed ports on the TV. Also, I have used an older TV I have with this box and it just doesn't work. The video just bounces from light to dark when on Netflix or streaming any other type of video including YouTube. I have attempted to play with any settings on the box but nothing changes. Kinda bummed, oh well right?

I read something in another thread where the person created a new ROM for devices LIKE ours. I believe some have used it but can't say if it works. Seems your issue is common:

Hi,
In product description it said this is dual wifi enabled (2.4 and 5Ghz) box. So I installed internet wifi router with 2.4 and 5GHz possibility, and Q2 Pro box pick up just 2.4Ghz signal.
Then I turned off manually 2.4GHz possibility in router and Q2 Pro box didn't see any wifi network, while my LCD and PS4 was connected on 5GHz without problem.
So, my question is, how to enable receiving 5Ghz wifi signal on Q2 Pro box?
Thank you
I've been having some trouble rooting the Q2 Mini Leelbox, wondering is that a different model than the Q2? i am also having an issue changing the default home launcher on my box, it seems like the Zonglauncher that is installed on it wants to be the only proprietary launcher option an because i cant gain root, I can't run effin system app deletion.
I figured kingroot would do it, but it has not been of any help so far. Shoot I've googled Root Leelbox Q2 mini and pretty much theres nothing out there. must not be a very popular box. now that i noticed it is rockchip, i'm a little disappointed with it, might even return it, but it does have 2G/8G for only 43 Dollars on amazon.
did anyone install recovery twrp and Magisk?

It must be a different version. If I recall correctly, I didn't have to install anything to get root. I just ran a root checker and confirmed I was good to go.
I also was able to install any launcher I wanted. But in the end, their launcher was good enough for the apps I use (Kodi, Netflix, HBO Go, Youtube).

No. I don't think there is a TWRP version for this device.
I ended up shipping it back for a refund. Really was quite a pos if I ever did see one. Made me pretty angry tbh, it was a rockchip anyways I mean it did have 2g/8g but certainly performed worse than some 1g/8gs ice bought in the past.
i have the mini
*works fine ..no lag or stuttering
*only problem is weak wifi with no 5ghz support
#im looking for info regarding using a d'link wifi dongle with it to boost wifi
to everyone this box is prerooted
install any app and if it requests root it will be given root automatically without even a toast message
you can enter recovery and factory reset or flash updates or even flash update zips by inserting a needle / pin / toothpick into the headphone jack amd pushing down at which point you will feel the button click...keep the button in then pull out the power cord and put it back in and it will boot to recovery ...you can rename supersu as update.zip amd flash it from sd card to replace root or get root management apk installed ..you can also install supersu apk directly from playstore
you can enable developer settings by usual means by pressing on version number in settings/about
i am looking into solving wifi problem first ...then i will try to flash custom images
my first workaround is to boot Ubuntu from sd card and install opemelec or omc or similar
*reason is amazon prime video fails playback in both apk or browser
*netflix is working fine through apk
*kodi is running smoothly
by installing linux through sd card i will try to get better wifi by wifi dongle and then by getting playback working for amazon video ..if i succeed i will create a thread and a post a link and proceed from there ..i think we might be able to port or flash some other custom firmware too ...i will try it after Ubuntu....
