I broke one lapdock (water damage) then bought another which appears to be broken .
New lapdock doesn't,
charge phone
no sound
and no keyboard or touchpad
i opened new and old lapdock, put the new circuit into old to see what would happen, battery charged up and it started working, so fault in circuit to do with the battery. Anyway i then try tried phone and same three probs.
Put new circuit back into new lapdock and then tried old lapdock with old circuit and phone charges and i get sound out but NO KEYBOARD OR TOUCHPAD.
This has me thinking, is there something up with my phone?
I have the HD dock which charges the phone no prob.
Could this be a software prob or is the new lapdock faulty (apparently just the usb port)
thanks
confused
Anybody near leicester want to try and see if it works?

hey everyone. ive been playing with webtop and i noticed that if my hdmi cord comes out of the phone. even the slightest bit. the screen cuts out and i have to press it back it. like. this is such a slight amount a small bump could trigger it. is anyone else having this issue? (also. i cant figure out if its the cable or the phone... )
That's odd for sure. My cable holds very firmly in place. My phone even slid off my tv stand one day and hung by the cable and everything still functioned. I would think its the casing on the Atrix might not be right or the cable might not be reaching all the way in ie cable was manufactured too short on the plug end. If you have a friend with an Atrix try out their cable if not call moto they might send a replacement but that idk never heard of anyone calling about that.
But thats just my 2 cents

I just picked up an Atrix lapdock and am trying to get it working with my Razr. When I plug it in, it loads the webtop and shows the screen, but the trackpad and keyboard are unresponsive. After about 5 seconds, the screen will just show the motorola logo and the screen on my phone becomes active again. It seems like the usb portion of the lapdock is not registering because the phone shows nothing if I plug in and unplug the usb from the lapdock (I have the hdmi and usb connectors pulled out of the lapdock for testing purposes). I tried a USB mouse plugged into the lapdock with no response either, though the usb ports on the lapdock are powered up and working as the mouse lights up.
Has anybody had this problem and have any idea how to fix it? Or did I just get a defective lapdock? I have whatever the latest update from vzw is on the phone, not rooted.
did you unscrew and flip the connectors?
I have the connectors completely free from the housing to make sure they're fully seated.
I have only had problems when the connectors are not well seated (before shaving away excess plastic from the housing). So it sounds like you might have a faulty unit.
Also, be sure the phone screen is on and unlocked when you connect it. Sometimes that makes a difference.

sounds like a hardware issue to me also
Well, looks like I'll be out $80 if it's defective, that sucks. I'll play with the connectors a little more, if anybody has a broken lapdock maybe I could mix and match some parts to get it to work...Or if anyone wants one for parts, let me know.
I am in the same boat with an Atrix dock and a Bionic.
Does anyone know if it's possible to just buy the piece that houses the connectors, or even just the USB cable? I'm pretty sure the USB is the issue.
I ordered this dock and it comes with the cables, so you should be able to get them somewhere.

Bionic lapdock issues, even when i have the adapters connected
Hi, just like bobzdar said, i still have the 5 second screen problem and the phone goes into screen saver mode with M logo. Any suggestions?
Very possible it's the phone, when I got my lapdock I found out the HDMI port didn't function right. If you are near a store just do what I did and take the phone and lapdock there and test both with the display models, to see if it's the lapdock or the phone

It's USB problem
I have the same Issue here ... just got my lapdock few days ago ,,, when I connect it to my atrix it only detect the hdmi... I tried to connect my wife's Razr ... and got the same result you've got
Amazingly there are alot of people encounter the same issue ( I thought MOTO devices are the most reliable in the market but THIS change my mind)
Unfortunately I'm not in US (currently in Kuwait) so I would be difficult to find the spare part ... If you find a spare Part please tell me
OTA ICS with webtop 3.0 solved the issue for me. YMMV.
Under display in options make sure u enable hdmi

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone had any insights in to this problem I have been having.
Briefly, I have the 4g lte verion on EE's new network. I purchased the official MHL/HDMI adapter which works fine and the video is outputed to my sammy 50inch tv fine. The issue I have is the battery drains while doing so. I belive this may to due to the phone outputting more than it is drawing from the power source. Any thoughts ?
I spoke with Samsung tech and they said a number of people have started to report this issue and they are currently testing/investigating. If this is indeed the case seems a pointless acessory as a long video would possibly drain the whole battery, Im yet to test the full drain time.
Secondly, with a 3rd party docking cradle with spare battery slot which purchased from amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/eLifeStore®-Samsung-Desktop-Charger-Docking/dp/B008PPRGFY) also does not charge phone properly. Even with the orignial charger in the ac port (or usb port) . The phone reports as charging but stays the same or decreases. Charged directly from the socket it is fine. Strange!
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ian
It's common. Mine did that too! I switched to my old S2 charger, problem solved
Thanks Ill try that out, any idea why that works ?

No idea man? A design fault maybe? All I know is that my phone took for f#*%ing ever to charge with the USB type wall charger. I pulled it out of the socket and plugged my other other one in that was sitting right next to it and it started charging? Checked a few minutes later and it had climbed considerably so I pulled the USB cable out of the new plug and kicked it under the bed where it now lays resting not to be used again LOL.
USB plug/cord works perfectly fine? So I use it on the computer. My laptop even charges the phone via the USB cable faster than the socket plug (which is usually the opposite - as I am sure we are all aware). So yeah I would say poor design or defective wall plug or both or something? Wasn't going to send my phone back because of it. 2second decision problem solved Samsung phone is great!
Im having exactly the same problem.
I have an s3 on orange and have the same mhl adapter conected to my tv.
I have tried the charger from my s3 which does says its charging when I connect my phone but only for about a minute so I also tried using the charger from my s2 and that just does exactly the same.
An easier way is to buy the official allshare dongle for your hdtv then you can stream anything from your phones screen direct to your tv and can have the phone on charge via pc or wall socket at the same time,
Hope this helps
i suggest you throw away your original charger (slow charge) and its usb cable (loose - actually caused the extsd to become damaged to the point i had to repartition) and buy yourself a cheap usb cable for data (£2) and a 3rd party charger (pref not a usb adapter one - £5) and all should be fine!
I still experienced a small battery drain while using the mhl adapter, however, i froze a few apps with titianuim (ones i know run all the time like utter and tasker, paragon ntfs, easy ums, directory bind etc), and put it on min brightness - works like a charm. I know its a effort freezing apps but does the trick with my phone... Since finding that out i actually keep paragon & easy ums frozen till i need them...
just a few thoughts for you....
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 5.0, and lately it won't charge naturally (it doesn't charge when you just plug the USB cable to the port and to the wall), but you need to charge it a certain angle (eg move it until you hear the charging sound but afterwards it won't charge when you remove it!)
I have the original Samsung adapter that came with the SGP Box, but I replaced the original USB cable with another one because of the charge-at-a-certain-angle problem. I changed my USB cable thrice now, but the problem persists.
The weird thing is, it charges perfectly on a BLACKBERRY CHARGER. Although the problem is still there when I charge it with the BB charger, it never got to the point where I had to apply so much pressure on my tablet.
I just want to know what is causing this problem and a solution. I can't always use the BB charger since my sister brings it with her to school everyday. -_-
I had the same problem with my Galaxy SI. I was forced to place a book directly under the usb cable so that the phone sloped downwards. I had different luck with different usp cables. My girlfriends usb cable -that was relatively new worked fine as it sat quite snuggly/tight. Others, new or old, that did not sit as tight did not work.
Take you phone to a PC hardware store and test a few.
Hopefully you will find that it is the usb cable that is worn and not the inside of the phone.
Thanks, I'll try that out!
Hello, first of all apologize for my English.
My Xperia Z2 has problems with the USB connector, I know you have some reports of this, but I think I have not found any solution yet. He is almost 3 years old, I think it is normal to present problems, but I still do not want to change my cell phone.
I am having serious problems trying to connect it with the charger via usb, I have to wrap the cable around the device, pull to see if I find a way to connect it, when it connects and starts charging, after a while it starts to hurt Contact again.
When I bought the phone, I used a magnetic charger, but because it was not original cables, it went wrong and I decided to use it for the same cable. I saw that some problems occur because of connecting the magnetic to the opposite, but it has almost 2 years that I do not use and the cell phone always charged normally.
Any solution?
Hey,
I started to have the same issue until it stopped altogether. I had to disassemble my phone last week to fit a replacement LCD and digitizer, and noted that my USB connector had actually snapped off from the logic board!
~TL/DR~ The simple solution is to make use of the magnetic charger. You can get the official charging dock or cables. Both are cheap enough, easy to use and charge the device rapidly.
