Bluetooth? I'd find it hard to believe reverb or inaudible noise from haptic feed back could interfere with your cable box..but try turning it off and see what happens, you probably need to grab a new cable box though, sounds as if the one you have isn't properly shielded

yea bluetooth is off also but yes getting a new cable box wouldnt be a bad idea

WTF? LOL!!!

Try checking for loose connectors on the cable jumpers throughout your house. You are experiencing ingress. Your cable system is not shielded somewhere, and that somewhere is acting as an antenna picking up signals in the air and pulling them into the cable system as noise. Check the connectors at the wall plate, cable box, modem, etc...

Atrix Charging Problems!

When I'm attempting to charge my atrix on PC or Wall Mount the touch screen response is terrible. I can't even unlock my phone and it's really annoying. Is there a fix to this?!

If your trying to do it on a desk, without holding it in your hand, it can wonk out and not respond correctly (quite frustrating when developing). Also, I have seen this before on my old iDevide, the power/grounding electrical stuff.can mess with touch sensativity. If it is really annoying you, maybe you have a defective unit and so go get it replaced. I can't vouch for what you are saying when u plug it in it stops working though. I have an otterbox defender on my phone.
Just mah 2 cents.

If you are not using an original charger or USB cable, it may happen. It happened to me with a Moto Milestone.
If actually your charger and cable are original, then your phone might be defective
Someone in Milestone 2 forum suggested use of a longer usb to microusb cable .. something around 1.5 m would do

Atrix lapdock Motorola Razr

Hi, well I just received my Atrix Lapdock. I've read in some forums that this accesory works with the Motorola Razr, all just have to do is some mods in the ports, well I just did it but not work. This is what happens when I plug the phone to the lapdock.
1. If the lapdock is closed, the options in the phone screen are, multimedia, office mode and music.
2. If I open the lapdock, the phone screen turn off and the lapdock give a message that reads "HDMI no signal" and then the screen turn off.
3. After that, the screen of my phone acts weird, the notification area has icons and text seems topped.
My phone is running Android 4.0.4. I thought this could be the problem but I connected my brothers RAZR running Gingerbread but same things happens.
In both cases, non of two phones gives "Webtop" option.
So what do you think? I need to reinstall something or the lapdock is defective?
Thanks for your help.
make sure hdmi connection is enabled under settings/display.

have you tried plugging in your phone with a micro hdmi to a tv?
if that doesn't work then it's your hdmi port on your phone not working.

Yes, I've tried it and is working.

Mine acted that way and my hdmi was in fact not fully seated although it appeared to be. I doubt I pushed it in another millimeter.

And after that push now it works? Do you have the Atrix Lapdock?

i have one too and had to file down the plastic to get it to seat correctly.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Yes, I have the Atrix lapdock. I feel it's nicer than the lapdock 100 and the price was much better. I forgot about filing down the plastic, but I did. Mine came with short extension cables, but I like it better just standing on its head. The hdmi extension cable was a little loose fitting anyway.
texbuck
But I unscrewed and took off all the plastic and connect the cables directly and still don't work.

Same here. Scrape off some if the soft plastic molding around where the ports sit. This allows the HDMI to fully plug into the phone. Then you will be fine.
Now if only they had a palm rejection setting so that the keyboard would be sort of passable...

I had this exact same issue, turned out to be my phones hdmi port was broke. Got a new phone under warranty.

I believe op said his phone works when plugged into tv, so that would eliminate his phone port.

Just checked: double-tapping on the while LED in the upper left corner of the touchpad turns disables it. Another double-tap re-enables it. Light on=touchpad on; light off=touchpad off. As a side note, I got the HDMI error once, and double-tapping on that corner seemed to fix it.
For anyone having trouble with getting the Razr to seat properly, here's what I did: I took out the "spacer" that the Atrix would have rested in. The spacer was there so that even if the Atrix had a case, it would still work properly.
Tnx dude, I just did what you said but it doesn't works. The strange thing is that when plugged and the lapdock is closed the phone gave me the office mode, music mode, etc, but when I open it the phone screen turns off and then the lapdock says No hdmi signal... double tap on led and nothing... what could it be? After the last connection my phone screen act like the picture.

Same trouble using atrix lapdock with Razr XT910
Hello, I'm using tthe Razr xt910 stock rom. When I connect it to my lapdock the mouse pad and keyboard dont work, I get some flashes on the lapdock showing what its supposed to show but then suddenly its screen turns black and my phone turns on.
So I tested it with connecting it to my TV using hdmi cable, and it works everytime... Then I go back to the lapdock, connect it and it flashes as I described before....
The weird thing is that When I go to slot 1, using Safestrap, and load CM10.1 rom, which is not yet the final version, When I load this rom and connect it to my lapdock it doesnt show up on my lapdocks screen but the keyboard and mouse pad work!!!!
I go back to stock rom, and it wont...
Can you please help me...
I dont know if it has anything to do, but I have been getting deep freezes since I installed SmoothLiquid rom on slot 3, and I dont know how these deep freezes have spread to my other installed roms including my stock rom... it never suffered deep freezes but since I installed this other rom.
So I naturally deleted this rom, but the problem still persists, I dont know if that had anything to do with my problem.
I also found out that I connect a mouse using USB port and this wont even turn on....

Yeah.. I believe the webtop only works out of the Stock ROMs and its derivatives. I previously tried to mod my Atrix Lapdock by swapping the ports around but it never worked too well. I pulled out the plastics and run it directly from the cable as it is now. Its dodgy but works well.
If the keyboard/Mouse isnt working too well, then its most likely your USB contacts arent working or that it detected the HDMI port before it detected the USB port.

charing cable is little loose ?

I feel the charing cable pin is a little loose. I mean its wobbles a little bit. I mean when you plug the charger into the phone the pin connection is a little loose for my liking. I don't loose charge or anything but it does come out pretty easily. My s3 charging pins were more stable. Is it just me or anyone else noticed this too ?
Mine feels normal. Then again my nexus was really lose v

Mine is the same way. My s3 was solid. It seems if you look at the charger from the back it doesn't go in to the phone as far as it did with the S3. I can only assume that this has something to do with it.

My phone, and my fiancé's phone are exactly the same. We took them into verizon today to be checked. Two different people said this is common and that there was nothing they could do. I asked if we could check another cable or if they could check another note 2 and they said it'll be the same.
when the micro usb is plugged in, it will randomly fall out or will fall out if you pick up the phone. Seems pretty bad to me, but not a big enough problem for verizon to do anything.

Tips on charging port replacement.

Hey there xda'ers!
I just picked up a Titan 4G for $30 :laugh: I always wanted one, I'm using an S3 right now and I plan on switching back and forth at my leisure.
The problem with the Titan is the charger port is VERY finicky. You have to really push the micro USB in and get it in just right for it to charge.
I found replacement ones on eBay for around $7ish. Has anyone replaced one before? Do you guys have any tips?
Thanks to all in advance!
Anyone?

have you checked there's no fluff in the original one? mine sometimes looks like it's charging, (ie light comes on red), but never gets charged. this usually means there's fluff inside the usb port and a good hard blow, (pardon the expression), sorts it out...

Sadly, the previous owner must have forced a mini usb into the jack or something, since all the pins are bent in. Or, it may have been dropped on the charger port while plugged in. All in all, the phone is in great shape for what I paid for it, as I always had a fascination with WP7.
I got a quote for $60-$70 to have the new USB port installed since it has to be soldered.
Even still, I plan on keeping it and ordering a back up battery charger from eBay since the phone is easily a 8/10 condition wise and I have already unlocked it :good:

[Q] Charging issue.. phone or cable?

So, quick question for folks.
The other day I noticed that despite my phone listing itself as charging, the battery was still dropping. Other times I could get it to charge ok. Today I noticed that wiggling the cable triggered the charging sound, but no change in the status.
After that, it got really worrying. The phone no longer would indicate a charge on that cable. I borrowed a friends s3 cable (I should mention that this is a generic cable, not the s4 cable I am using), and thst went straight to charging. After that, the generic cable worked.
I am going to try to test more today and tomorrow with the official cable.. but has anyone else had an issue like this? My worry is that it is the phone. . If it is, I want to exchange it now before there is the chance of getting a replacement with the locked bootloader. .
Sounds like it's the charger to me.

I agree. My S4 charger works fine. Others struggle and have that same issue.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Yea, I also get some problems when not using the stock S4 cable. Seems otherones fit but have a little play to where if I bump then even the slightest it reconnects.
