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)

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

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 got my new s and I am liking it somewhat so far. I have a few issues though. First off is Amazon dint give me a us adapter for my charger so I have had to use my pc or PS3 to charge it. Neither of my htc chargers works as I woke up this morning and the phone was almost dead when it should have been charging. The light comes on but nothing happens though I wasn't able to test it while it had booted. This means I was not able to charge the phone when I first received it. I was able to fully charge it today but only with it on. Will this hurt the battery?
The next problem I have is the phone won't start normally after being off and charging. I always have to hold the volume button and the power to get it to work.
Next is the phone seems to get rather hot when surfing the net and when playing a game it gets almost too hot to hold and the games crash.
My next issue is with the keyboard. Is there anyways to get the period on the letter screen. What moron came up with the idea to not have the period there should be fired. I like the default keyboard a lot besides that and would like to keep it.

Usually charging with the ports on your computer or PS3 is a lot slower than just using the wall charger. The only thing I can tell you is make sure that the cable is in all the way.
Also, as a side note, the included USB cable is the worst USB cable I've ever used. That thing fits into the XPERIA so tightly that I have to use a hell lot of force to pull it out.

That's way better then any USB cable on my OG Droid,it was so loose,it fell out of the port when you moved the phone.

The one I have fits perfectly, I'm glad it's not too loose.

Anyone else having their USB port catch when plugging it in to the base of the phone? If I plug it in at an angle it isn't a problem but if I go in straight it catch's almost every time. Makes me feel like it's going to be the first thing on the phone that breaks. When I look at the port it does seem to have a bit of a lip in there, it's what is causing the snag.
Any. tip on a quick fix that would make it slide more smooth?
Edit: Please refrain from any and all " that's what she said" posts. Giggity.
hah...yes, I have noticed this a couple of times..

Its either just the cable or a combination of the cable and the port on mine. Using a different usb cable basically got rid of the catch. I think the edge on the stock cable is to new.. hah.
Both the USB plug and the headphone port are extremely snug and tight.

Its better when its tight. If its loose now when it gets older it won't fit right
the best phone ever
I've noticed the same thing. I have a slew of cables around the house and at work and most of them seem to fit very tight. I find myself being extra careful with the OG than other devices.

Anyone noticed that you have to plug the usb plug in an angle? feels like the port is not straight with the mold..if you look inside it, looks lowered then the frame.... unless its just my unit..

Same here. When I first tried plugging it in I thought the plug didnt fit for some reason. You have to point it down just the slightest bit. Doesn't seem like it will be a problem, just some getting used to.
just making sure it wasn't just me.... everyphone i've own is jsut a straigh shot
Ran into the same problem.. Freaked me out at first, that's for sure.
