Hi all,
Not sure what I might have done to mess this up but for some reason my HD dock can't detect the proper resolution for my monitor (I have the monitor connected via a DVI to HDMI adapter). It used to work but for some reason has stopped functioning. Now the usual Motorola screen saver (red circle popping around) is distorted and only shows up on 3/4 of the screen. If I try to activate webtop, it goes through the usual loading but the monitor goes black and webtop appears to have loaded (Usual webtop splash screen on the phone appears) but I can't see anything on the screen.
The odd thing is if I take the dock and plug it directly into my TV (no adapter) everything runs fine. So it leads me to think its an issue about the auto detect...
Is there any way to reset this or manually change the resolution to fix this?

I'm looking for a possible app that can automatically lock the phone regardless of what it is doing. I use the MHL to HDMI cable to output to my tv when I'm in bed and I like to watch shows to put me to sleep.
The thing is when the cable is plugged in, the phone's screen never turns off because it would turn off the tv display as well. The display just goes dim when it's idle. I can manually lock it and it will shut off, but I would like something that can send a lock command or a power off command after a certain amount of time, sorta like a sleep mode.
I don't like having my phone screen's stay on until morning even though it's staying fully charged. It's usually pretty warm when I wake up. Is there any way this can be done?
Maybe it could be done with tasker? https://market.android.com/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&feature=search_result
I gave it a try and it seems like a really nice app, but I couldn't find a way to command it to lock or turn off the phone. There were 2 options I saw called "lock" and "system lock" and I tried both but nothing happened when the specified event occurred.
I'm tempted to try the HDMI on my Galaxy Tab 10.1, but I'm thinking it would remain on as well if plugged in. Thanks for the suggestion though.
When I got my Laptop Dock I was using CM7 pre-beta 4. Just to see what (if anything) would come up, I plugged my phone in. The phone display showed on the Laptop Dock screen: Landscape and incorrectly rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise and quite small (not filling the screen vertically or horizontally). The track pad worked.
Might there be a way to rotate and alter the resolution of the HDMI output for "simply" using the laptop dock as an Android interface? (To be thorough with the [Q], what possible solutions are there?)
what happened was HDMI mirroring, which doesn't work in landscape mode (sideways like you're asking)
top men are working on it, just be patient
Understood. I suppose I should have made the connection. Thank you for the reply, I will patiently await the solution of these top men.
Hey guys, I have been looking all over xda for a solution to my problem. I have an Atrix from germany and I have already unlocked the bootloader, installed cwm, and used the hack to get webtop over hdmi.
It works fine but everytime I connect my phone via hdmi the screen on my phone turns to landscape view and the mouse and keyboard doesn't show, instead it shows my apps, and when I try to open contacts or any app on the webtop, the app opens on the phone and the screen on the webtop shows only de logo of motorola, is there a way to fix this?

I have the same problem. I uninstalled the adb launcher and now weptop no longuer shows the motorola logo but instead the home screen, which is good bud in my phone screen is the same home screen logo (not the mouse pad that should be). when i touch the phone screen the webtop muse moves but i have no clue how to use the mouse click or the keyboard because those not display in my phone, I just guet an unresponsibe home screen.
Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me solve my problem. The issue is that when I plug my M HL cable into my HDTV the image comes out sideways, flickers, and looks terrible with lots of snow. The interesting thing is that this didn't happen to me on a stock rom. But now I'm running CM 10 dgungdum style and the problem has occurred. A couple of details: it doesn't say HDMI at the top when I plug it in ( Though it used to When it worked before) Also it seems to be something to do with CM 10 itself because if I reboot the phone with the MHL cable plugged in it starts with the normal display and the CM logo is not sideways but once the operating system starts the lock screen appears and immediately flips sideways on my phone and also on my TV. So I think the ROM has some kind of setting that auto flips the display when the MHL is plugged in but the problem is that I can't find an option to reverse this default. Any help is greatly appreciated.

HDMI is out on cm10 ROMs. That's why you are getting those weird screen displays.
Hi, i wanna ask a few questions about my old phone. It was working and i had dropped it. in that minute a car just went over it. It was touchable but display is very messed. I had saw the main screen and i could touch it. After that i just removed my sim and tried to restart phone but it never did restart. i could enter the twrp and take all my files to pc. after some time it's screen went black. Now i can enter to download mode, i can confirm that but nothing more because of black screen.
And my question;
1. How can i be sure if i change the screen it will work again?
2. I don't want to buy a screen, is there way to use it without a screen? ( with a monitor, tv etc.). i can use a mouse and keyboard with otg but how to transfer display to another device? ( new screen costs too much ) ( i know mhl not supported)
3. is there another phone which is cheaper and screen fits to s6 edge connector?
4. Any other ideas?
