[Q]Clock mode in HD dock without power - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I put the Atrix in the HD dock and the dock is connected to the power socket, the Atrix goes into the clock mode automatically. I don't always have the dock plugged into the electric, but I would still like the clock mode to appear. There is a button for the car mode -- is there one for the clock mode somewhere as well? Is there a trick perhaps?
I'm on stock 2.3.4, unrooted

Found in another thread about making a shortcut with AnyCut. Tried it and the shortcut also works when the dock has power. Without the powerm the screen blinks, rotates a bit and then goes back --> doesn't work. Are there any other possibilities?

[Q]Screen Mis-aligned

Hello all,
Had a funny thing happen just now: screen turned off as usual when idle, but wouldn't turn on again.
Hit a few buttons, tried holding power and home button felt usual vibrate response. Plugged in to charger and screen instantly came back on but notification bar had moved from top to bottom and screen shifted to the left, with the bit cut off on the left appearing on the right.
Using Launcher Pro, even the app drawer has shifted in both landscape and portrait mode.
Just checked phone again after writing this and its back to normal.
Any ideas of a cause?

Stuck in dock mode after using some non-Samsung chargers

I noticed once in a while my home key would change behavior and bring up the car dock screen. The only way to fix is to turn the phone off and on. Today I realized the cause: Certain non-Samsung USB chargers put the phone into dock mode and when you unplug, it stays stuck so that every time the home key is pressed it goes into dock mode (until you reboot). It also happens with some USB cables after connecting to the PC. Any suggestions to work around?
Use Samsung chargers

Phone freaks out on desk dock

When I dock my phone it shudders droid like 2-3 times. Can I disable that?
I put the phone into vibrate mode when docking and it is a decent temporary fix. There are enough complaints about this that Moto will probably address it in their update, whenever that may occur. You still get audio and the alarm in vibrate mode so for office use or night time docking, this works well. I use silent toggle widget to get into vibrate mode when needed.

Battery charging icon when phone is off

I have a very weird problem here, when the phone is off and not connected to the cable or pc the battery shows up on the screen as if it's charging itself LOL. And when I turn it on it won't turn on.
The only workaround I found is to connect the USB cable to the PC then press and hold "Volume down" then briefly press "Power button" from then it would boot normally. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
That isn't too surprise, believe or not, I've removed the battery pack off the phone and I'm still able searching web and make phone call.
Your phone is OFF and the icon still shows???
Yeah it's totally off and it still shows, even the progress bar is moving at the bottom of the battery icon.
What could be causing this? How can I fix it?

x96mini cursor problem with wireless trackpad, remote in mouse mode, usb mouse

I have a x96mini android 7.1 with an external microsoft all-in-one media keyboard with touchpad, as well as the remote that came with the unit. It is connected to generic brand 1080 TV via hdmi.
When the unit has been turned off / put to sleep using the power button on the remove, then turned back on again after a while (usually more than 15 mintues later), the trackpad and mouse cursor position on the screen is limited to the top left quadrant of the screen, as seen in this recording:

(i can't post external links).
You can see the cursor position gets stuck approximately over the blue KD Player icon. If I put the remote in Mouse mode, the cursor is still stuck in that position.
What's strange is that the position seems to be a relationship to the width of the screen. So I can sort-of click icons by guessing how far across the screen they are, scaling that position within the upper-left quadrant, then clicking (this is hard to show off). It is as if the scaling factor of the cursor position isn't being scaled to the screen space value. If I launch an app such as KD Player the cursor problem still occurs in that app.
I've only found this to be a problem after a sleep-then-resume.
The only way I've found to resolve this is to pull the power lead and put it back in (removing the keyboard usb and putting it back in does NOT work - the cursor problem remains).
