hey everyone. ive been playing with webtop and i noticed that if my hdmi cord comes out of the phone. even the slightest bit. the screen cuts out and i have to press it back it. like. this is such a slight amount a small bump could trigger it. is anyone else having this issue? (also. i cant figure out if its the cable or the phone... )
That's odd for sure. My cable holds very firmly in place. My phone even slid off my tv stand one day and hung by the cable and everything still functioned. I would think its the casing on the Atrix might not be right or the cable might not be reaching all the way in ie cable was manufactured too short on the plug end. If you have a friend with an Atrix try out their cable if not call moto they might send a replacement but that idk never heard of anyone calling about that.
But thats just my 2 cents

So, the cable that I have doesn't plug straight in to the phone it's angled to run up towards the top of the phone. Whenever I plug it in to charge it, it seems that I have to run the cable awkwardly towards the top of the screen and underneath it. Not a big deal I suppose, but was curious if anyone else noticed this and found it a bit annoying?

My goes straight out to the left. Someone at the factory must have screwed something up. Get you a new one from amazon. I got 2 six foot ones for about $3 a piece.
Awesome! Thanks for the suggestion. Definitely annoying, right?

Yeh, everytime i go to type with the charger plugged in, it annoys me. Wish they had put the USB port on the bottom of the phone or at the top on the sides. Very annoying.
The charging port annoys the crap out of me. When charging, I just put it down and leave it haha.
i use a right angle adapter so the cable runs down the side (not up or straight out). allows me to actually use the phone while charging. (still kinda gets in the way)
Anyone else have this issue. The usb cable comes apart on the asus end(see pic)
P.s. this has never been abused and was treated with the the greatest of care

Nope, maybe try a tiny dab of superglue?
Well I know it is an easy fix I just thought it was kinda weird and wanted to know if I was the only one who had this problem
Yup happened to me. But on the other side. The USB side. Cant sseem to attach the pic from my tfp
i had this happen to me right out of the box! plugged the device in to charge then unplug after full charge then this happened.

Yes! It's a piece of crap! And I tried to RMA to Asus but they want the bad one back and then they'll send out a new or fixed one. So how is a person supposed to charge the tablet with no power cord? Very disappointing, Asus! They've sent me several follow up surveys to the phone calls and emails and I've told them how I feel about this. They don't seem to respond after that... Haha! Oh, well. The superglue route is probably the best way to go, anyhow.
My cable came apart like that the first time I used it. I carefully removed it from the connector on my tablet so as not to damage any wires, and then pushed the cap back on until it clicked and it hasn't come off since.
I think the problem is that the black cap isn't properly seated over the connector on some charging cables so the little clips on the inside never engaged. I have a half dozen chargers for the TF Prime and 3 were like this.
This is definitely something that might scare you the first time you try to unplug your connector, but it isn't a huge problem unless you rip out the wires or something.
My wife's did this the first time we unplugged it. I used a few drops of super glue on it and it has never come apart again. Mine on the other hand never had the issue. I think there was a batch of the plugs that they never put the glue on them so they weren't sealed when they got shipped. Put a few drops of glue on it and seal it up and enjoy the full use of the USB plug

Hi everyone. I just got my RAZR and have been fairly impressed with it, a big upgrade from my old SE X10.
I ran into a couple of issues though... I couldn't use the camera (no visual input from the camera, just black with the camera app overlay), and there seems to be a persistent HDMI alert, even though I haven't got a cable plugged in.
A factory wipe allowed the camera to function, but the HDMI menu is still there.
Any ideas?
I'm having the same HDMI issue. Seems to do it mostly when some form of media is running (XM radio app for me) and you move the orientation of the phone. Only started doing this recently though. A couple days. Coincidently around the first time I actually used the HDMI out. Any help would be great as this menu is very annoying and doesn't need to be running.

I talked to Rogers and they're sending me a new device. It seems if i press lightly on the "M" in Motorola, the menu goes away. Must be a loose connection.
Ok, scratch that. It's doing it all the time now. It goes in and out of thinking an HDMI cable is connected. Also, it seems like since this has been happening my once great battery life is now diminishing, and is running slower, lags in answering phone calls, and also the camera issue is happening... but only when it thinks an HDMI cable is on.
On an interesting side note. it seems i've found a sweet spot. When I press on the edge of the phone directly above the two tiny light sensors under the "M" it goes away. When I release it, it immediately thinks the cable is connected. I can only assume that it's a bad connection on that port to the main board. I've never used the HDMI out until about a week ago and that's when the problem started.
I just picked up an Atrix lapdock and am trying to get it working with my Razr. When I plug it in, it loads the webtop and shows the screen, but the trackpad and keyboard are unresponsive. After about 5 seconds, the screen will just show the motorola logo and the screen on my phone becomes active again. It seems like the usb portion of the lapdock is not registering because the phone shows nothing if I plug in and unplug the usb from the lapdock (I have the hdmi and usb connectors pulled out of the lapdock for testing purposes). I tried a USB mouse plugged into the lapdock with no response either, though the usb ports on the lapdock are powered up and working as the mouse lights up.
Has anybody had this problem and have any idea how to fix it? Or did I just get a defective lapdock? I have whatever the latest update from vzw is on the phone, not rooted.
did you unscrew and flip the connectors?
I have the connectors completely free from the housing to make sure they're fully seated.
I have only had problems when the connectors are not well seated (before shaving away excess plastic from the housing). So it sounds like you might have a faulty unit.
Also, be sure the phone screen is on and unlocked when you connect it. Sometimes that makes a difference.

sounds like a hardware issue to me also
Well, looks like I'll be out $80 if it's defective, that sucks. I'll play with the connectors a little more, if anybody has a broken lapdock maybe I could mix and match some parts to get it to work...Or if anyone wants one for parts, let me know.
I am in the same boat with an Atrix dock and a Bionic.
Does anyone know if it's possible to just buy the piece that houses the connectors, or even just the USB cable? I'm pretty sure the USB is the issue.
I ordered this dock and it comes with the cables, so you should be able to get them somewhere.

Bionic lapdock issues, even when i have the adapters connected
Hi, just like bobzdar said, i still have the 5 second screen problem and the phone goes into screen saver mode with M logo. Any suggestions?
Very possible it's the phone, when I got my lapdock I found out the HDMI port didn't function right. If you are near a store just do what I did and take the phone and lapdock there and test both with the display models, to see if it's the lapdock or the phone

It's USB problem
I have the same Issue here ... just got my lapdock few days ago ,,, when I connect it to my atrix it only detect the hdmi... I tried to connect my wife's Razr ... and got the same result you've got
Amazingly there are alot of people encounter the same issue ( I thought MOTO devices are the most reliable in the market but THIS change my mind)
Unfortunately I'm not in US (currently in Kuwait) so I would be difficult to find the spare part ... If you find a spare Part please tell me
OTA ICS with webtop 3.0 solved the issue for me. YMMV.
Under display in options make sure u enable hdmi

I'm not sure if it's just me but did any of you guys get a charging cable with your LG G3 for Sprint that doesn't really stick in the charging port very well? It's always falling out of my phone and doesn't seem to connect very well. Just curious, I really don't mind buying a new cable but was wondering if it was an issue with all of them
Haven't noticed any problems with mine.
I've never had an issue with the cable itself, but from day one, always had to push connector in phone, at a slight angle.
sent from my LG G3
I would recommend exchanging it or having a sprint tech check the port to see if its faulty. I've slid my plugged in phone off of my nightstand and the cable kept it from hitting the floor.
Mine stays in the phone but falls out of the wall
I appreciate the feedback, im guessing i's just the particular one that came with the phone. I bought it full price at Best Buy
Maybe it's because of the outlits. I use a power strip with no problem.
