Anyone tried the RAZR with the old webdock/lapdock that was originally made for the Atrix ?
Yes. It does not fit. Connectors are on top, not on the side of the phone and the position of micro HDMI and USB is swapped. Have not tried it with extension leads yet. Might work.

i am writing this post right now with my RAZR attached to the Atrix laptop. it doesnt fit perfectly so you have to push it in and not wiggle it too much to work but it works.
It can with modifications to rotate the ports around. Simple unscrewing cover, then flipping the plugs.
I referenced this for my mod:

The only downside is the phone stands straight up, so using the dock app is sideways. Otherwise web top works great.

i thought they have the lapdock 100 out or something thats supposed to work with the phones that dont fit the atrix lapdock
I've modded my ATRIX LapDock and I constantly use it with my RAZR.
Oh, I've cut of just an half centimeter the docking plastic so that the RAZR would fit perfectly like this lapdock has been produced exactly for the RAZR
@kholk,
Could you post some pics with your Razr standing on the Atrix laptop dock please ? I want to see it before i decide to order an atrix lapdock.
The MOD made to the ATRIX LapDock's dock is much better in reality... when you look at it, it doesn't seem THAT crappy!

I did also... went back in and searched for it again and only shows in refurb now so ordered that for $79 with free shipping and it arrived 48hrs. later...
What kind of extention cables would fit the ports?
I checked it out on amazon
http://www.amazon.com/AT-Laptop-Doc...&qid=1340316955&sr=8-1&keywords=Atrix+lapdock
And the extension cables
http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Adapter...qid=1340316955&sr=8-11&keywords=Atrix+lapdock
I got the dock at 59.99 However the price appears to have gone back up to 80. Still a good deal. In my case I bought 2 and I modded one. The mod was fairly easy for the moto razr maxx (razr regular as well) just unscrew the two screws on the sides of the dock (the thing that flips up) and then pop off the casing and unscrew the bracket holding in the connectors. flip them upside down (might need to use an exacto to shave the opening a little more. Then reassemble.
Lastly. Shave down sloped side with the exacto down enough that the phone can rest on the dock just fine. Even upside down like that it seems to be quite secure. That said if you like the pristineness of the lapdock then get a set of cables linked above. As I bought two docks and two sets of cables (hedging bets) both methods work just great.
Hello all. My apologies for raising an old thread up from the dead but if anyone is interested in a Motorola Atrix lap dock then check out your local Radioshack.
No, I'm not advertising for them; just giving you guys a heads-up.
Anyway, a new batch of clearance tags came out today and the Atrix lap dock is down to $19.97 in one of my local stores and they have two of them in stock. The price in your Radioshack may be different as stores price clearance items differently but its definitely worth a check.
The catalog number for the lap dock is 170-6310 which will be the same company-wide so start calling!
Cheers

I picked this up from Best Buy, it's obviously a generic type thing that lots of companies sell under their own brand name since this wasn't cobra or the other brand referenced in that link. I drove around with it all day and for the most part it did well. You have to be careful not to push hard on the sides, it's too similar a motion to the twist you use to remove it. I might modify the brackets on the bottom so that it sits better on them. I only had it fall off once and it's because I was messing with it and then took a hard turn up a steep ramped curb. It bounced to my passenger seat floor. I was trying to dislodge it though so I don't blame it really. I'll try to do some video of it while driving to help others.
I have the official dock from HTC for the Sprint View. It comes with a AC Charger and a USB cable that are identical to those that ship with the tablet. I am unsure what the button does as I didn't see any documentation with the dock. I had to buy the dock and stylus in order to get 25% off the accessories and then a $50 credit to get the pen for free.
It is very similar in look and feel to the Captivate version (previous phone).
What's in the box?
Mounting Plate backed with 3M tape
Suction cup base arm (identical to Captivate version)
Holder for SGS 2
Cigarette lighter charger
Review: (Updated October 12, 2011)
Audio works through the dock port when enabling it in the Settings [Settings >> Dock Settings >> Enable sound through Dock]
Phone clips in very snug to the holder. Perhaps a little too snug as it's not easy to get the phone out with one hand.
Built in Voice Control is great! "Hi Galaxy" "Text [contact] message 'whoa this is awesome!'"

Here is an alternative to the Samsung car mount that you might consider:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/320764561950?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
I have been using this for about a week and am thus far happy with it.
The construction feels a little flimsy but that is by design, I think, since due to its flexibility, it allows for useage with the phone in a case...which was my primary reason for buying it.
It slide locks onto a proprietary disk mount that has adhesive tape on one side for placement on your dash or other flat surface.
One downside is that there is no dedicated audio out connection...you have to use the phone's audio output. But that isn't an issue for me since I connect to my car stereo via bluetooth.
Rotates to landscape and charges the phone through a micro usb connecion at its base

that's a pretty big downside as the plugs aren't on the same side of the phone (what a weird design by Samsung)

Not weird. People prefer to have the charger cable coming out of the bottom of the phone when in portrait use (usually, the phone is above or at equal level to the charger).
However, they prefer the headphone jack to be at the top, so they don't have to flip the device over when pulling it out of their pocket.
Ok so yeah real easy question i guess we might not know for another 2 weeks but like i already ordered most of my accessories ahead of time Im down to the Car dock.
I currently have the OGEvo and use the htc car dock every day. Literally, If the phone is not in my hand it is in the dock.
I understand they have the same general size but I am wondering if the E4GLE is the same shape and if it fits in the HOX Car Dock?
***Update
So Engadget updated its review of E4GLE and they said "shorter by one millimeter and wider than the international One X by four-tenths of a millimeter." Soooo...
That means that the E4GLE should fit nicely into the HOX car dock. Even better with full body skin it should still fit without problem. Which was an issue with my OGEvo dock, cause the official dock would rub off the top part of body skin.
Im ordering my Dock.
www.engadget.com
Don't know if I would risk it. I love my OG htc evo dock, but with the charging port on the side, its gonna be a little different setup, maybe more like moto docks. I am just gonna wait for the official dock.
I would keep an eye:
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/7878.htm
there, That is the Car Dock that I have for my HTC Evo 4G. Works great. They made one for the EVO 3D as well that had the side charge port. So I don't see why they won't have a new one for the LTE.
Will
I have also pre-ordered the E4GLE, yet I almost didn't because I have been unable to get information from Sprint or HTC on the dock. I do not the the dimensions of the One X are almost identical, a millimeter off on the width. So it may fit but it's still a gamble.
I use the car dock on my Nexus One every day. My phone is my nav and I can't really justify not having an OEM made car dock. If nothing is announced by launch day I may have to return the E4GLE and get the One X, even though I'd rather have the E4GLE.
Update!
B-)
shorter by one millimeter and wider than the international One X by four-tenths of a millimeter.
I dunno about the official dock, but i've bought vehicle specific mounting plates from proclip and then combined it with a slipgrip car mount from ebay with great results, just had to run wires for a 3.5mm/microusb connection for power and music. The slipgrip guy makes docks for certain cases too so i think im going to email him about that.

I swear by ProClips. It will take a while for ProClips to make a car dock until they get one in their hands. And when they do. I just need the phone dock part and not the car dock part.

I'm with ya, it took so long for them to make one for the OG evo that i looked to the slipgrip guy who actually made it for both the seidio innocase as well as the HC ballistic case. He epoxies the holder to whatever interface (suction cup, bike mount, vent mount) but i just asked him in the order to ship the two separate. I then did some modifications to the holder so it would screw in to the pivot joint that comes with the proclip holders, turned out pretty well. If history repeats with seidio's timeline, then i'll just have to do the same for this phone.
Does the LTE Evo not have pegs like the Nexus?
Plugging and unplugging both my OG Evo 4G and Evo 3D from the car dock (both are OEM, every other one I tried was even worse) scratches the living hell out of the power jacks. It's irritating as hell that they don't do audio through the dock as well. I guess with that new bluetooth 4.0 dongle, I won't have to worry about that.
I have the dock for the EVO 3D from Seidio and it also scratches around the charge port. Not much I can do about it:-(

the dock is made by ibolt. I just put mien in this morning. very good feel. they give you some foam pads to level the phone is using with a case with the insert removed. that part was a little cheesy, but actually worked well. pretty happy with it.

I am sure there are a lot of people on here that would gladly take it off your hands for you, and I sure could use an extra one to keep here at work....
Within 15 minutes of getting mine today I was taking a screw driver to it and opening it up... Torx driver to be more accurate.
Opened it up and totally disassembled it so I could get the front plate off and cut the square bump out so I can put my phone in it without having to take it out of it's case.
Crappy looking cut right now but I'm going to fill or cover it with something.... Or just leave it as is because looks of it are not really that important to me.
Have any of you gotten JB or KitKat custom roms working with these docks? Most that I have flashed do not have HDMI compatibility.
Hello all!
So, if the winter storms allow it, on Thursday I will have my Xperia Ultra to replace my beloved Note 2. Shame on you Samsung for the "amazing" .18" display size increase of Note 3!
Anyways, as always I like to have my phone ready with some accessories.
I am still a bit confused about this whole magnetic charger thingy so please provide any feedback, recommendations etc or something I might be missing as well! :good:
For first...a basic cheap case for normal use..unless I change my mind and get something with a flip.

Or maybe this one too for now as a battery and more protective case:

Finally for now this one confuses me: the dock/charger thing:
Are either of this the same and do I need something else besides the doc...? Like I have read about a magnetic cable too.

I am still wanting a stylus but I would like some sort of case with a thin stylus that I can hide into the case...yes, I am used to my note spen

Thanks for any help!
dealxtreme
I have deleted my long list of Xperia Z Ultra accessories found of dx.com/dealxtreme.com because they are utterly useless.
I ordered five things and ensured that they were not marked out of stock. A week later they sent me an email saying they couldn't send because something was out of stock. It proved impossible to respond to them: email bounced, phone numbers didn't work or were never answered, website chat didn't work. Their online ticketing system didn't allow creating a ticket to discuss order, you had to enter a SKU code and I didn't know which item was in doubt. Eventually I stumbled on a ticket type I could create (problem with paying) so I sent them a message and they admitted there were three items of the five they couldn't get! They asked for more time, after five days I told them to cancel the order with a full refund.
So, stay away from DX.com / dealxtreme.com as they are clearly utterly utterly useless.
This is the dock I got and have had good experiences with it. It is slow to charge but works well as a stand for you to charge your phone overnight.

How slow? The original DK30 uses around 2 hours to charge from 0-100%.
I see that Brando also have a bunch of X Z U accessories:
http://mobile.brando.com/shop/Sony-Xperia-Z-Ultra
they're more expensive than DX, but Brando in my experience are usually good quality and offer good customer service.
I've still not seen a car dock that I want to buy, I want one that will hold my XZU whilst its in its case, and attach to the windscreen. So far universal tablet holders designed for smaller tablets have looked like the best option.

Regarding car dock, I got one from infiniapps, really like the design and you can use it with a case, works better with a thin case. I would recommend the tablet version and then buy 2 of the phone metal inserts.

Hello all!
So, if the winter storms allow it, on Thursday I will have my Xperia Ultra to replace my beloved Note 2. Shame on you Samsung for the "amazing" .18" display size increase of Note 3!
Thanks for any help!

I bought this windscreen mount. Works really well as was designed specifically for the Ultra
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=360722447342&view=all&tid=441532569023
I'd stick with the DK30 dock. The maglock cable i used from DX.com wrecked my ultra. (after plugging in the magdock cable it started playing up. charging and discharging irregularly. Had to have a full mainboard replacement.) So its been 6 weeks and my ultra is finally being sent back to me after a major repair.
Link not working, can you try again?
I edited my first post and removed all links to DX website and replaced the posting to say people should avoid them

Good call, ordered some stuff for my Z1 while some month ago. Got a mail saying everything was shipped however the tracking number went nowhere. Waited some month, nothing and tracking number still a dud. Have emailed them several times with no response. I will never order there again. Is Brando more reliable?

|'ve bought things a few times from Brando and not been let down but not for a couple of years as it's often easiest to buy off ebay. I've not heard bad things about them, so I would be happy to buy off them.

Another vote for Brando. Efficient and reliable.

Anyways, as always I like to have my phone ready with some accessories.
I am still a bit confused about this whole magnetic charger thingy so please provide any feedback, recommendations etc or something I might be missing as well! :good:
For first...a basic cheap case for normal use..unless I change my mind and get something with a flip.
Cheapo case
Or maybe this one too for now as a battery and more protective case:
Case and 5000mAh battery
Car mount:
Mount
Finally for now this one confuses me: the dock/charger thing:
Are either of this the same and do I need something else besides the doc...? Like I have read about a magnetic cable too.
Doc1
Doc2
I am still wanting a stylus but I would like some sort of case with a thin stylus that I can hide into the case...yes, I am used to my note spen
And also I was planning to get my usual Zagg screen protector but not sore sure if anyone has tried it since a search for Zagg showed no results.
Thanks for any help!

Hello shaolin. Just wondered what your current accessories list is. I remember seeing you found a smart watch? I'm looking for something similar to smart watch 2 just wondered what you had. And in the way of charging and protection of phone. Thanks mate.

Hello!
I have been using the ZGPAX S5 watch. It is very powerful, not sure if you have seen some of the videos I uploaded but it runs emulators like MAME, Dreamcast and can even use the PS3 controller
BUT, the company that built it is as good it if did not exist because forget about any support from them.
So if no dev picks it up, you are not going to get much from it.
It is more of a Standalone watch than a companion to your phone. Currently only using an app called TableTak is how you can get text messages and reply from the watch.
For charging I bought the original DK30 magnetic charger. Expensive but well worth it.
As for protection, I bought some "explosion proof" glass protector for the front and a regular film protector for the rear and just some cheap plastic case from ebay just for when I am carrying it around. At home etc I just like the feeling of it naked so no cases there
Also about the watch, I returned it as the GPS was not working and right now I am undecided between buying it again or waiting for one to have ALL the features without having to fight to get things working.

I did see the videos yes did look pretty good. Apart from using a very small screen lol. I take it you use emulators on your xzu though. I think my best bet is getting a smart watch 2 at some point then. Do you actually use the dk30 dock or you taken the cable out? I can't see myself getting 1 as I always have a flip case on the phone as too worried about the phone. And wouldn't want to keep taking it out of case etc. I would like to find a genuine Sony magnetic charger though. If I do keep my xzu I would like to get some good accessories. But at present my xzu is in repair. So I have been debating about getting a HTC one max. Just not sure. I do want a good power flip case though would like the cp12. And like the look of the sbh52. that screen protector is it a glass protector and if so where did you get it from? What apps do you currently have on phone any useful/interesting ones?

I used the DK30 all the time. I prefer the phone without a case...only phone that I actually have done this with..it just feels to awesome to hold.
That is the reason I added the glass in front and film on the back though.
This is what I got Glass Protector
As for apps, gosh I got too much stuff to name
From lots emulators to music apps like for tuning my violin.
Folder Mount which I used to same big game data to the external card is a must for me.
