Can the lapdock use the charger that came with the atrix phone or dose it need a completely different charger? Im talking about the wall charger.
It definitely uses a different charger. It's a 19V AC adapter. Motorola SPN5639A
why is a tethering plan required for the lap dock?
(Note: The Motorola Lapdock requires the separately available Motorola ATRIX 4G, and an AT&T 4 GB DataPro with Tethering plan is required to use the Lapdock with your ATRIX 4G.)
all4cellular.com has lapdocks and refurbished one for sale $100 for refurb i bought one and its awsome no problems with it at all mint condition they also sell chargers

Because AT&T wants to milk youvdry. There are tricks here to get around the tethering but it is also no issue if you use WIFI. Tethering is just if you want to use the lapdock over 4G

Can someone please give me the specs of the lapdock (for original atrix) charger, 19v and how many amps is it ? Also how does the plug look like, is it a Motorola proprietary plug?
Thanks for any info.

been searching for an answer for this for a while and I haven't been able to come up with anything
anyone have a firm answer? Will another adapter witht he same power rating work fine?
Anything with the same power rating will work fine. Just make absolutely POSITIVE that the polarity is the same on the plug -- reversing polarity can do some not-so-friendly things to DC circuits.
Apparently, the charger for the Xoom speaker dock may be the same as the Lapdock's charger.

I have a one amp usb charger that cant seem to charge the Note while streaming audio over LTE, HSPA, or locally with beyond pod. With the screen off, i lose a percent every five to ten minutes while streaming audio through winamp, flash via the stocm browser, or beyondpod, and the note doesnt lose power while playing local media through beyondpod or winamp...but it doesnt charge either.
And when im charging via he wall adapter and im using the devjce it charges extremely slowly...this is a slow chargibg device, but really, cant i even charge it in the car while playing local audio? Can a usb device pull over a amp from a car charger? It was hard enough even finding a one amp adapter at brick and mortar stores. Are there more powerful adapters? Can the GNote pull more than an amp? Whats does the wall adapter pull?
What adapters are you guys using? Any reccomendations?
I have the same issues. I have a post already involving some possible work arounds. I'm trying a couple of other chargers as speak.

I'm being told that a Motorola brand, mini USB car charger with the blue light that glows, has the pins on the contact that are shorted which makes it act like a home charger.

Another post indicating improper charge using any cable but the OEM just showed up. Maybe that's why the dock works.... Going to try my 2.1A charger with the Samsung cable. Using a universal Belkin gave ne a %3 loss while charging using GPS and streaming music for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
No go on the factory supplied cable with the 2.1A adapter. It actually lost more charge that way versus the Belkin cable and 2.1A adapter. Not sure what else to do other than buying a Motorola car charger locally to test it.

Nav, Pandora and a 5.3" HD screen running, probably just exceed the phone's recharge rate. I have found the very best recharging combo, while the phone is under load, to be the Moto charger and....wait for it....a cheap Hyperion 2600mah replacement battery on Amazon! I have no clue why.
The oem Samsung battery barely creeps upward while running nav and mp3's at the same time at about 5-10% an hour. Still beats my previous discharging.
But inadvertently, I found my backup Hyperion batt charges at a pretty quick pace with the exact same load. I haven't measured it yet, but it is at least twice as fast. Let the geniuses figure this one out, because it makes no sense to me.
My Samsung Galaxy Note™ is smarter than your Honor Student.
Using the moto charger, I started with a full battery, watched 70 minutes of streaming video in the Plex app this morning -- with a mix of 4G/LTE -- and unplugged with a full 100% charge at the end of that 70 minutes. Good stuff!
Just drove home today streaming Pandora in the car for thirty minutes with brightness on auto and Bluetooth audio to the car radio on my OEM Samsung genuine car dock. I was at 95% and when I got home I was 100.

I plan on opening it up and shorting pins 2 & 3 to enable fast-charge. I'll report back after a road trip tomorrow
Well, I opened it up this morning, and it looks as though the data-pins are already shorted, so I'll see how it works today as I'll be out and about.

I have a USB cable from my old Nokia E series so I plugged it in my Atrix and see the phone charged, connected to PC. Is there any harm to the Atrix of doing that for long period? If not I can use it as office charger for the hungry Atrix. Thanks

I got same issue on mine. That's bit annoying actually.
@ OP
It still being micro USB, it isn't a motorola stuff but a general standard... It may probably be slower to charge.
You can read about it on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#Charging_ports_and_accessory_charging_adapters
(I can't link as I don't have enough posts, sorry)
some cables have better quality even if not branded. try it out on your pc, connect a lot of devices so the electricity consumption increases and if the Atrix doesn't lose connection it's a good cable.
btw, the problem with the touch screen happens with all capacity touch screen devices due to itself works with static. some chargers/cables will give you this problem and there are even some models (mostly Motorola) that get affected easily, although Atrix is not one of them, yay!

Couldn't find where anyone posted this, especially since search is broken right now.
I have been searching for a good car charger, and have tested several from Monoprice, which ALL eventually quit charging. Finally found this car charger that works perfectly. It is the only charger (that I have used) that can charge my phone faster than the Waze app can drain it. Excellent quality quick charger for $5. I believe it is rated at 950mA. The others were rated at 1A, but evidently that wasn't really the case.
In case the link doesn't work, it is the Motorola Vehicle Power Adapter micro-USB Rapid Rate Charger for $5.06 with free shipping at Amazon.

FYI - The charging cable is attached, so it is not a removable micro USB cable. Surely you can tell that from the picture. The clear plastic Motorola emblem glows blue when plugged in, which I thought looked cool (or, "looked chill" for you kiddos ).

I have one works great.
That is a very widely used car charger and pretty well loved. Personally I use a http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10826&cs_id=1082603&p_id=8858&seq=1&format=2 with a USB cable. Have never had any issues with it dying or failing. It also barely sticks out of my cigarette lighter. Any all in one plug I've ever used has always had a lot of bulk.
I use the Zagg Sparq. In the car and work and such. Little pricey but it's got a lifetime warranty.

This is the charger I use also. It works great. What I found is that this charger charges at about the same rate as the supplied HTC AC charger. I've found that anything under approx 850mah takes forever to charge.

The monoprice one has the highest output so it'll probably charge the fastest.

It's a 1amp output which is still higher than the moto one.
Right on. Thanks for posting. I've never 'needed' a car charger, but I've wished I had one, on occasion. So, at this price ... why not?

if you want a good charger, you should search not only 1A constantly, for example, i use a RadioShack CLA to Dual USB 2.5A Port (Enercell Brand, SKU: 270-057) and i luv it! i used a lot igo CLA but the but was only 850mAh. Now iGo have new CLA with Dual-USB with 2.1A rated (Called MicroJuice) i tested and is very good.

While we were on our way to key west last week also, we killed 2 count them 2 of the griffin 2 port stubby ones. They worked at first, then died. Heat probably an exascerbating issue in that case as we were in a miata with the top down and the sun on that all black interior for 8 hours. Also, had both my phone with nav and ambling books and bluetooth, and my gf's iphone 4 and her taking pics non stop haha.
Anyways I found at radio shack a stubby iGo 2 port 2.1 amp that worked without a problem the rest of the vacation doing the same heavy load in the same heat for untold hours from key west to ocala on the way back to my parents place at the end. It was more like $30 than $3 though!

one thing for sure try to charge it under android. even blackberry charger works(smaller mAh) only its slower to charge
my asus transformer charger works with a regular micro usb cable.
That official TP charger is 2000ma, cell chargers do work but are only around 750ma. The touchpad can draw about 850 when in use. As such, you will want something over 1000ma if you want to use it and have it charge.

The problem is that when i connect any third party charger to my touchpad it says use only HP touchpad charger and doesnt charge

Hey everyone,
My LG charger just kicked the bucket and I want to know if anyone else is using a different charger that works flawlessly.
Thanks!
I've been using this one. I keep it plugged in the 110 outlet in my car.
Best Buy - Insignia NS-AC1U2M (about $20)
I have quite a collection of chargers and I have found that all of them work, most of the time. This includes the 1.8amp original LG charger and cable, all the way down to an old Apple white cube and monoprice cable. Even an ancient Motorola fixed cable charger from a Droid3 works, most of the time. They all work, usually. Sometimes, though, they give that incompatible charger error. There is no pattern I can see, the same charger/cable combo will usually work. Its something in the LG charging control software, I guess.
