Question about the HD Dock - Motorola Photon 4G

Hey guys, Just had a question about the HD Dock. When I connect mine, it looks as though the area on the phone u can use as a mouse, and it also shows a little keyboard on the bottom right. But when i click that a keyboard doesnt pop up, also when i try to use the phone screen as a mouse nothing happens?? Is there somewhere to enable this? Or does this not work yet?

It should work fine. Try repeating the phone or rebooting.

Clicking on the keyboard does nothing unless you have the cursor in a area where you can type. But i'll be honest, its hard to use since the cable leading to the tv is short. And i have to be in a arkward position to use the onscreen mouse and keyboard

Is there any way you can set it to mirror the TV's display on the Photon's screen instead?

It would have been nice if the dock had the ability to set the phone flat because then the touchpad screen would be easier to use. It's multi-touch so if you're doing something like playing Angry Birds while sitting in your office it's pretty functional if you can get used to the angle.

[Q] Bluetooth Keyboards?

Does anybody know if Bluetooth keyboards are working with cm7 on the TP?
i know someone who got their mac keyboard to work fine via bluetooth.
Bought my wife an IHome iPad keyboard for her touchpad. Works fine with webOS and CM7

yes bluetooth keyboards work. maybe not the special buttons though. Not sure if you can configure them either.
thanks everyone.
I use the HP TouchPad BT keyboard with mine and it works well. You can even get many of the special keys to work with a custom key layout. I can't remember exactly where I got mine, but I have special keys for Home, Menu, Back, and Search as well as Volume Up & Down.
The cursor keys aren't set up for landscape orientation (most cases act as stands in landscape orientation) with the default key layouts, either, though again, that's fixed in the custom ones.
Hope this helps!
I also have the hp touchpad kb and it works great.

I just got my HP bluetooth keyboard and it works on my CM7 TouchPad and Nexus One. It works in portrait mode, not in landscape. The volume up and down keys work, so does the search button.

Slightly cropped (bottom) HDMI out display

Hi,
The HDMI out works fine however the display is not full on the LCD TV. I can understand bottom navigation buttons being not visible, however I have noticed that there is slightly more area that gets cropped. I dont have a screenshot but assuming stock launcher and icons at the bottom row, I can see the bottom row icons fine however the labels line is missing. Has anyone come across this situation?
Yeah, I had this. I set the TV Display to 'Just Scan' and it sorted it.
I saw this problem too. On one TV I have a just scan setting but on a different TV there is no settings for aspect so that kinda sucks. There needs to be a setting on the TFP.

What do you mean by "Scan". I am using default settings on the TV. I checked it on LG and Sony LCD. The problem could be with TFP as mentioned by junkiehyjinx.

This ^, most tvs will have display options like 16 x 9, just scan, stretch and so on. Just scan shows the original signal format that is being sent to the tv, it takes the tvs scaling out of the equation, which is the problem most of the time.

Me too. No scan option. I think this is causing my issues with Sixaxis on the TV.

BT mouse work bad in landscape mode

Hello,
i tried to play Quake with mouse. In portrait mode mouse work great, but in landscape bad. If i move mouse to left then in screen the mouse moves down.
How to solve it, maybe a little program to change the X-axis with Y-axis?
Edit:
Have you tried a different bt mouse ?? Checking the batteries?? Uninstalling and reinstalling the driver/software.

Should be in Q/A FYI.
To answer your question, haven't seen a program that would do that. What ROM/Kernel are you using?

I can't move topic to Q/A.

Howcome u using bt mouse on stock rom? It does not work for me
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
The axis change with the rotation of the screen, u need to lock the axis somehow, maybe in the config files to the input device, looks interesting tho, might give this a shot, plus it's cool to see peripheral working on a sense rom.
Axes do not change. They are still in portrait mode.
Mouse work in stock ROM in portrait great, but we don't see cursor.
Nobody have same issue?
On LeeDrOiD 3D same issue.

problem with mouse movement direction after you flip the screen orientation

when you flip the screen the mouse will still act as if the screen was not flipped
so moving left and right is actually done by moving up and down
very confusing please fix this thanks
Yep, mouse movement processing "doesn't flip" with the screen Sure needs fixing

Do you have an issue tracker we could use to report/monitor this issue (and others)?
I think this can't be fixed easily unless some sort of emulation occurs. I mean, our mouses were not made for flippable screen. So we need to change mouse movements according to our orientation.
@modaifallah all that needs to be done is "flipping" the input from mouse to PC respectively to the screen flip. This should be easy to do. I'll see what Jide team thinks about this.
@gcscaglia New feedback system is coming very soon!
