Hey guys,
I have a two display setup at work, my Lenovo T510 laptop on a Lenovo Docking Station. One monitor is VGA the other is DVI.....both going into my docking station.
My question is, can I go from my Photon Dock HDMI to DisplayPort in the back of my Lenovo docking station and display on my monitors?
Thanks in advance!!

Unless the port on the dock is an input which is highly unlikely then no.

Saw some detailed photos of the top of the device and only mini jack port was visible.
I'm not sure though.
Any intel on this one?

Yep, its at the bottom, there are some hardware tour hands-on vids on youTube from MWC that confirm it (possibly the GSMarena write up mentions it too).
Great, vertical desktop dock is now possible as well as more convenient car chargers.
Another reason to buy it

omg every second youtube video shows the device in every angle.... and 80% of the MWC videos have the device charging...
Just so you know, this is actually a MHL port. What this does is it can send data as well as video and audio, so it can be used as a micro USB but also as an HDMI.
Pretty nifty, huh?

1080i output, no charging with the current devices though.

I assume it's 1080p output, it would be strange if it's limited to 1080i.

Slight correction: no charging from current TVs unless you have a dongle, in which case it will charge and playback on all current HDMI-input capable televisions.
According to a MHL preview video on youtube, it will playback the same as any other HDMI port. So if the phone supports 1080p playback, it will send that output to your tv through MHL port.
I have used phones that had it on the top (Captivate) Left (Atrix) and bottom (Nexus)
I like it the most on the bottom. The Atrix is almost unusable while charging in portrait.

I actually liked it with my Motorola Milestone... Some apps suck in landscape though, I give you guys that.
lets just hope it doesnt require charging daily

The GOAL is a full day on one charge.
You want the battery to last a week? Buy a dumbphone.

Does any one know if there's a way of connecting the atrix to a tv (hdmi/ monitor), and then a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. So as to get it to act as if you've bought the netbook dock?

I found on the original DROID that a magnet triggered both car dock and regular dock mode in certain areas of three phone. I imagine that it's the same here. The US car dock is only $40 tho.
EDIT : Tested theory with my car dock for RAZR. It has something to do with the USB plug. RAZR can be in dock and if USB isn't plugged in then no dock mode.

Hi,
I gave bought a dock for my phone but it's not the official Samsung one.
My question is how do I get the phone to enter docking mode?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
You don't, it's automatic. If the dock isn't wired correctly then it will only charge.
What's the wiring meant to be like for dock mode to be entered
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Same as the html lead, 11 pin non-standard micro usb.

I can't remember what phone/dock (might even be this phone) but I do remember reading that soldering a resistor between certain pins was enough to fool the phone into thinking it was an official dock.. Maybe you can search for that?
EDIT. is this what you are looking for?

Any suggestions for a desk dock? I'd really like usb 3 support since charging from usb it's so slow to begin with. I checked out Amazon, but everything looked really crappy. Sync would be nice, but I'm mainly using it for charging. I'm not using any cases or covers. Thanks all!

The OEM desk dock works great for me. It doesn't sync but has USB 3.0 connections and chatted very fast. It has a stereo speaker jack too.

I have one by victsing.com (I can't post links yet :/)
It's supposed to be able to connect via 3.0, but mine doesn't :/ that's not exactly the worst thing in the world for me. The dock itself is small and connects via a USB 3.0 cable (I just use my original samsung one) the dock also has a slot for an extra battery so you can charge a second battery while you're using your phone on it. It's a solid dock for $13ish.

With this one do you have to buy a separate back with that dock? If so where would I get one? This one looks sweet!

I just bought this Qi charger from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H5FX1WM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Also I bought this charger when it was 50% off so the price was not as bad.
