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.

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

I have had problems with cheepie cables from monoprice. The mini hdmi connector is intermittent. Better cables work fine. You may want to try another cable.

I had this problem the first couple times I tried hdmi. Then one day it started working and its been fine ever since. I'm not really sure what the problem was or how it was solved.
I don't get a menu to select mirroring anymore. I used to have it with this cable and this tv. It's not an option now. I just get a Motorola logo on the tv. Mirroring used to work a few weeks ago, so something has changed with the phone. I'm not running a custom ROM, haven't disabled anything and no special software. Rebooting doesn't help. Anyone found a fix?
the first couple of times I tried I would just get the motorola symbol and no mirroring option than a day latter I tried again and it worked. Not sure why.
Have you tried cycling through your tv settings once and than back to hdmi?
i dont know what happned. i decided to reflash the current stock through rsdlite and im now able to mirror and use my kickstand again so im happy now ill root and see if thats why it stopped working
Hello all. Im having a problem when using my phone mainly that when i tap the screen to make a selection my cable box signal drops out. Its time warner cable and a cisco hd box.

Wow, lol, thats pretty crazy are you normally on wifi when this happens? Or have it on?

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...
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

Guys please help me!
I am desperate. My Razr XT910 was working fine until last week.
Yesterday, I realised that when I plug it in my computer through the USB port, the Select Connection screen won't show up in the phone and the computer won't recognise it. It only charges the phone.
Then, I went to my dock, the standard Motorola one. It's not working. If I plug the charger there, though, it charges the phone. But my Razr won't enter into dock modes.
Then, the lapdock. I tried to connect it to my phone, but nothing happened.
My phone is 2.3.6 and it's not rooted. I don't know what caused this.
Motorola through a live chat told me to send it to the service provider in my country, which by the way, never help anyone.
What can I do? Has this happened to anyone? I don't get it why it randomly stopped working properly!
I really really need you all's help.
I have this same problem with sgs2 at this moment. I believe that your port had to be cleaned. Some used toothbrushes while others used alcohol on a toothpick or cue tip.

Didn't work. I am really sad. Everything else is fine. I read that when this happens, the phone won't even charge in the end, because the microUSB port is broken.
