I just ordered a mini HDMI cable from Amazon this morning. But I'm not entirely sure what I will be getting.
I'm using Paranoid Android (ICS, CM9) on my phone, but I don't think it touched the webtop partition. The official webtop coming in ICS from Motorola looks cool, but I'm sure I don't have that. So will I just have HDMI mirroring, or what? My wife's Electrify is pretty much stock, so anything I'm screwed out of for unlocking and using an ICS ROM won't apply to her phone.
(Electrify is Photon minus WiMax/4G, and US Cellular branded; otherwise, same phone.)
Even with the official ICS update all you will get is mirroring as WEBTOP3.0=TABLET MIRRORING. Except for Moto specific apps there is very little difference between the two.

Yep, I'm screwed. I ordered the wrong cable. Didn't know there were 3. Maybe Amazon will let me return it; if not, the mistake only set me back $5.47. That plus what a micro will cost will still be fair.
But I mean, I won't need a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse, or dock, just micro to HDMI and I can run Android apps on my TV?

Everyone loves Monoprice, but their prices are 2-3 times or more what Amazon charges. Their prices are great compared with the store, but they're not the cheapest around by far. And my wife's not amused that I wasted five bucks on the wrong cable... Although I see now that my camera requires Mini HDMI, so maybe we'll hold onto the cable. We'd have to eat the shipping cost anyway, I'm sure. Not that I need an HDMI cable for my camera, since my TV doubles as my monitor, but at least the cable isn't useless.
Now I just need an HDMI hub/switch. Second-generation HDTV (if you consider the CRT ones to be first, mine is flat panel but also only 720p) only has one HDMI port. Oh man, Amazon slaughters Monoprice here! Monoprice's cheapest is $24.65 for a 3-in, 1-out switch, but Amazon has one for $9.04. Ouch!
with monoprice you get really solid cables, the cheaper ones are a gamble half the time.
Sent from my mopho
So it's the Monster argument but on a smaller scale? Pay more and the cable works better, or don't pay as much and risk getting a dud? I see a lot of reviews on Amazon saying the cables are fine.
If the HDMI cable on Amazon doesn't work, I'll buy one on Monoprice for 4 times as much, and I'll get it in green, and consider the $1.65 a lesson learned.
no, monster claims better performance, monoprice only makes solid cables that won't have a short in them. I wish you nothing but the best though.

While it was a display port cable, Amazon allowed me to return it with free shipping... however I have Amazon Prime so I got free shipping to begin with as well. No money lost on my part.

And, for me at least, the gamble has always been worth it to save 50% - 75%. I have no experience with monoprice, so entirely possible that I would find their prices quite acceptable.
In my experience, in the real world electrons really are very non-picky. Give them a path from A-B on a reasonable guage metallic conductor with reasonable quality connectors. It is that simple.
As I posted in another thread, someone did a double-blind test with a soldered string of dry cleaner hangers vs. Monster speaker cable. Nobody could tell the difference!
in the large quantity I've bought, I've had quite a bit of doa cables, just a hassle id rather avoid, but paying monster prices is just stupid.
Sent from my mopho
Well, I got the cables, and the mini HDMI is indeed the wrong one (not that I doubted you guys). And the HDMI cable works. No dud. $1.65 got me a cable that works. I'll take that luck.
Photon didn't get an official ICS release. We're talking about Moto's ICS that they've been advertising, and rolling out for other phones, like the Droid RAZR. You can find it on YouTube on Motorola's channel, and it's probably been posted around XDA as well.
Finally ordered a proper micro HDMI cable. The mini HDMI cable fit our camera. We never figured on using the feature, but now we have the cable and it didn't even cost that much. No real loss I guess.
Got the Micro for $2.58. Amazon again. Free shipping again.
Disappointing.
I'm running AOKP right now, and all I got was mirroring, i.e. whatever was on my screen showed up on the TV. However, rotating it rotated it on the TV, but it stayed within a portrait frame, making it sideways. There's apparently no way to fill your screen, at least not that I could tell.
I'll test my wife's phone later. Locked, not rooted, and even running the stock launcher. Complete vanilla Electrify running Gingerbread, 2.3.5. Should be the same as an off-the-shelf Photon.
Much cooler on my wife's phone. Seemed to look better on the TV, and rotation worked. Looked kinda crappy (stretched). Played Asphalt 6 -- much cooler than playing it just on the phone. Still a crappy racing game though.
I suspect it not working well with the JB ROM is due to lack of drivers. So if you updated your Photon to 2.3.5 and you're sad that you can't unlock, know that you at least have this advantage, such as it is, over those of us who did unlock. And take advantage of it, I got the cable for under $3.

So I am on the fence between which one to buy. Besides the price point and the mod for the Atrix lapdock, are there any differences between the two? Does the Atrix mod keep the photon securely in place when docked? Are there any hardware differences?
TIA

Atrix lapdock requires modification. According to someone who posted in another thread the Bionics doesn't, but the Photon doesn't sit on it perfect either. There is talk of the Photon getting it's own lapdock, maybe it will even be cheaper.

Thanks for your reply. Yea I was the one that confirmed that the Bionic lapdock works with the Photon and although I know it does not sit flush with the dock, the phone is secure.
I was wondering if there were really any differences regarding the keyboard or mouse pad for the two lapdocks. Anyone have any input?
I ended up getting the Bionic Lapdock. So far so good. I actually went through 4 Bionic lapdocks before finally getting one that did not have a defect with it. The first three had dead pixels. Luckily the Verizon stores were kind enough for me to try all their stock. I cleaned out two local Verizon Corp stores of the lapdock stock since all of them had dead pixels.
BUYER BEWARE: Please try using the actual lapdock you are going to buy before committing. you never know if there will be dead pixels!
Other than the occasional lag and the insane palm sensitivity of the track pad, i love this thing!
**Hint: When typing a long post such as this, you can temporarily disable the track pad by tapping on the white led twice. tapping twice again will activate the track pad.
Well I got my Atrix Lapdock in last night and swapped the ports around and have some initial impressions.
FIT:
Photon does fit snugly but you have to be careful because the ports do not line up exactly. If you notice the videos people have posted you notice that they have to wiggle the Photon to get it to fit. Well once I saw that I immediately took it apart and placed a very small piece of hard plastic under the USB port. To lift is to the proper angle. Once I did this now the Photon slides into the dock very smoothly it’s not perfect and hangs every now and then but it also does the same in the cardock.
PORTS:
I have seem numerous posts where people have asked about swapping the ports so the Photon would sit flush. Well sad to say it’s not possible. Two things make this not possible. One the ports on the Photon make the phone where with either method the phone will stick out. Second you would have to cut the hole larger on the Micro HDMI side to fit the USB which would cause the port to wobble and not sit properly.
SPEED:
As other users have posted it is not the fasted in the world. But this may be attributed to the fact that from what I have read one core is disabled on the Photon. Also I notice on the Phone Mirrored screen under notifications it shows. " This device is not optimized to work with the Lapdock model" now everything I have tried has worked and mind you has worked well. I would compare this to my old HP 1000nr netbook in terms of speed. I am running the latest update with Webtop version WT-1.2.0-160.
SOUND:
The speakers seem to work well. I would compare them to be as loud as say an Ipad or Touchpad. You also have the option under settings to use the phones speakphone if you prefer.
SCREEN:
Well the screen is very crisp and the videos I played seems to look very nice. When I blew up the phone screen I didn’t notice much pixilation and everything looked nice. But then again I am not very picky and as just as happy with a 720p TV as I am with a 1080P.
BATTERY:
Will have to update on this later since I’ve only had it for a day but it is very nice to know that you can use this and your phone will be charged when you pull it off.
CASES:
Photon will not work in the lapdock with any cases currently avaliable. I have a case that i cut to fit in the cardock which it works in the cardock but does not work in the lapdock.
If you want something small to throw in a bag and send a lot of texts or emails this is great. Will work for web browsing but it is about as slow as a netbook so at time you may be frustrated.

I am going to wait the several weeks until the Motorola electrify lapdock should be out. The Electrify is a photon twin announced by U.S. Cellular, so there should be no worry of the photon falling out when you move the lapdock. As noted on another thread, the elctrify lapdock was confirmed by U.S. Cellular.
I ended up buying the bionic lapdock and I'm loving life.. yea I spent $300 on it, but it was worth it =)

ShabbyPenguin posted this in the Photon general section because it gets more hits. I figured some people here would want this since it's the right price.
It should work with the Razr as it does the Photon via simple mod, Thanks to CDThomas9. Here's his mod. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223032
I just bought one.
Does anyone know if it'll work with the 4G on the Razr out of the box? On AT&T supposedly it only works on wifi unless you buy a tethering package.
damn.... cant get it in canada it seems....
bah!!! I want to pick up two, but alas us canucks are left out in the cold. Damn it. anyone know if this is available in store?
well i just reserved one from a store for tomorrow. Going to see if I can get it to work with the Razr

u have to mod it. but its not a huge deal. takes 5 mins. it will sit like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wm_m1ZpunOA
im in canada right now too. u get raped on everything up here. when i bought my phone, i had to pay 75 for customs on top of the 50 i already paid for shipping.
sorry to bring bad news but, it looks like that deal is over now. its been showing it for $99 for a few hours now.
That why I called earlier today and talked with the manager. they reserved it and post noted that it will still be $50
Just thought I'd share my thoughts on the Atrix Lapdock. First, with the removal of the four screws shown in the Photon thread over at XDA, the HDMI and USB wires become free. It plugs right in and fires right up! No webtop or other mods needed. Mobile data works fine as well, in the att description, it says you need tethering for it to work, but i just have a grandfathered unlimited plan, and it works fine. the phone sits on the back ok, but with nothing much more than the wires to hold it in place. Other than that I can only complain about how close the touchpad is to the spacebar, but it can be disabled by double-tapping the top left corner. I got mine in-store, they will price match the web site, just FYI.

I'm not talking about the ports (I can handle that).
I'm curious whether it will work on 4G or not. Supposedly, you couldn't use the full-featured browser on the Dock unless you paid AT&T extra, but I don't know if VZW has a similar restriction, or if it works on this particular peripheral.
ok so i bought one, i aos bought these so i dont have to convert anything
can't post links so look these up on ebay
Micro USB B Male Female M/F Extension Charging Cable
New Hdmi Female To Mini Hdmi Male Cable Adapter M/F M F F/M Converter Cables Pc
and
Micro HDMI socket Female to HDMI Male adapter convertor
looks like it should cover it for connections.
anyone find better please let me know.
4G works perfectly. The lapdock is a little sluggish but hell for $50 I'm not complaining. I actually flipped the contacts around. I had to dremel the holes a little but other than than, a perfect fit. The phone sits upside down in the dock.

(11th post in 3+ years... I might quite possibly be the least exciting poster at XDA.)
So I've been wanting a tablet for a while and I missed the chance to get a TP when the fire sale happened. My dad just bought a Transformer Prime and that's pretty sweet but I don't want to shell out $600. So is this a good buy? Is it worth the $250-$300?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Well, ask yourself this. Do you not want ANY issues? If so then no it's not worth it. I enjoy mine very much, but I have pretty much made the issues with the TP part of my normal usage routine. Like when it dies ( uh oh, sometimes doesn't like to come back on for a while), or when I reboot I have to re setup my wifi network and sometimes it just decides it doesn't want to do the whole auto rotate for me. However the apps run smooth, sound is great ( when the screen is on lol ). Downloading games no problem ( just once again don't let the screen shut off while its downloading sd files ). Oh and no camera unless in webos. So here is my last piece to help u with.
New android tab: 399-700ish
New tp 32gb: about 300
pros: nice size display, bright, loud, very smooth, decent batt life, can connect to many peripherals: wii remote, ps3 controller, mouse, keyboard, etc...
cons: camera only on front, issues with rom i posted up top, no external memory
hope this helps some
I have had my touch pad for almost 2 months, with cm on it for almost as long. The ONLY problem I've had with it is the camera not working.
I've had none of the problems the above user has. Works great, and is only getting better. And $299 is a bit steep. My 32 gig with case and speed charger was $225 shipped
So if I could buy one around $200 with accessories its a good deal?

Good luck getting a 32 with accessories for $200. I'm letting one of mine go for $280 plus shipping with touchstone and keyboard. But mine has carbon fiber wrap and two used cases. Still thinking about listing on eBay cause it should fetch $300 easy cause the wrap got put on right after open so its about as new looking as possible.

Im a noob (first android rooted phone in november) and i love my $180 16gb TP. Im running 30-31 AOKP and the ONLY issues are front camera and having to turn on and off the wifi (quick settings double tap) when coming out of sleep or switching locations.
For the price the only other options are the kindle fire and nook. and those dont support HD video or even ui hardware acceleration. You would have to spend $300 for a used/reconditioned true ICS tablet with the same features and battery life.
The TouchPad is awesome in my opinion. No real issues running android except the camera and microphone, but that could come to us down the road. Everything else runs well. If you havent used webOS, you may even like that OS better. The ONLY downside to webOS is the lack of apps. But if you dont even use that many apps, you wont even notice. Running both operating systems at the same time is nice.
As far as pricing, a 16gb version, you might be able to get for $200 with one or two of the following: case, wall charger, screen protectors. Add a touchstone charger to it and it will be maybe $50 more. If you get a 32GB version, add another $30 or so. I got my 32 GB TouchPad for $230 off of ebay and it came with a case and wall charger. I'm planning on getting a touchstone charger eventually.

Have you even seen it and know what it does? Its a charger that sits on a table/desk/whatever, and you just sit your Touchpad on it and it charges. No plugging in cables to charge. It also acts as an adjustable stand. This is one of the best accessories Palm started with their webOS phones. I loved the Touchstone for the Palm Pre Plus. Can't wait to use one with my TouchPad.

I was browsing ebay last week and it seems that the 32 gig is selling for the same price or cheaper than the 16 gig. I was kind of surprised tbh.

I honestly don't think any model of TP is worth over $200 used. Considering the plethora of tablets that are coming out in coming months at increasingly reduced prices, the TP is moving the way of the dinosaur quickly.

Not even close to becoming a dinosaur. The touchpad runs as good if not better then those that have ics on them for a fraction of the price. $200 for a dual boot tablet if a fantastic deal.

so when i connect the tablet to my tv using the cable, the tablet will automatically change to 16:9?
and i forgot to mention that the main reason i want to see things on my big TV is because i want to watch youtube videos, everyday there are many videos that update news,... (like cnettv, theverge), and i just figured out i can't turn off the screen while watching with hdmi, because if i turn off the screen then on tv the it's just going to be black too.
so what's the point of using hdmi? i have to leave 2 screens on when i only need 1, that will drain the tablet battery, won't it? i think i could save battery if i can turn the screen of the tablet off.
any solution for this?
Any cheapo one will work, I got one for like $2-3 on Amazon and it had worked just fine since I got it months ago.

Any one how makes 5.1 Dolby Digital out of the TF300? I cant get it with micro HDMI cable.
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/tablets/Asus-Transformer-Pad-TF300.htm says
The TF300 can output 3D content to a 3D TV over HDMI and it supports 5.1 audio out over HDMI. 5.1 audio worked fine in our tests; in fact it was much more reliable than the finicky Prime.

Yes I play riptide gp on HDMI with my tf300 and it run smoothly really fun, and I use that HDMI cable. I have tried other games like extreme skater, jetpack joyride, (which are not racing games) and they run smoothly too.
FYI, that $9 10 foot HDMI cable is really long enough for me, and it's a micro HDMI to HDMI cable
I recently got a $7 25 foot HDMI to HDMI cable for my computer. I mean it's very cheap, $2 cheaper than the one for my tf300 and 15 more feet longer and working awesome. So maybe you can find one for your tablet really cheap
I just bought this 15ft HDMI cable and It'll be interesting to see how well it's made. I'll post a review when I get it. :good:

No problem. Gold plated AND 15FT. Sure hope it's as good as it looks. I'll make sure I report back and let you guys know if it's any good or not. :good:
Ok folks, I'm back to let you guys and gals know that this cable is legit and looks to be very good quality. The cable itself is a decent thickness and the ends are indeed gold-plated.. OH, can you say FAST SHIPPING!!??!!?? I just ordered it the other day and it's already here. Also, the high pitch noise that occurs when recording video w/ the TF300T is all but gone when playing through HDMI. This is gonna be SWEET for movies and games!!!!!! 15 FT of cable...... Whoop Whoop!!!! :laugh:

I can't wait for your feedback so I bought this from ebay. Bought it last Monday and got it by Wednesday, 10 FT and Gold plated, right fit in the tablet and TV and long enough to sit my tablet to table and I can sit comfortably to our couch. I notice a few screen flicker last Wednesday but yesterday none. I can say I can play videos/youtube without any lag but for games I can say ok, it's somewhat blurry for RipTide when you use nitro but for NFS Most wanted it's fine. sound was also great I can really feel I'm in the race.
Can you try the same test for racing games especially riptide? thanks!

I don't own Riptide bit NFSMW displays perfectly. I've been considering purchasing Riptide. If I do I'll report back and let you know.

Hey guys, just wondering if anybody has experience with an MHL adapter for our Droid DNA's that does 1080P and charges the phone? I bought one from amazon here, but it would only display 720P and the charging didn't work. So, any success stories? I'd rather not spend $30 on one of these if I can help it.

How can you easily tell if it's 720p or 1080P? I have a cheap adapter from Amazon, for my Galaxy Nexus, that works better with the DNA.
I would'nt recommend the one I got as the plug had no pins in it. But that's another option to look for.

I think most TV's display that in the upper right hand corner when a new device is connected. I've got a really cheap HiSense tv and it gives me that info. I ordered one off ebay I saw in another thread, I will update here if it does both of those things I wanted.
Well unfortunately still no 1080p, anybody know if out might have anything to do with the kernel or Rom?
