I have a problem: when i put my phone onto the HD dock the phone recognizes the dock and the hdmi cord, asks me if i want to use the webtop or the entertainment center. I choose one of them i got nothing on the screen. The tv's hdmi works fine (with my laptop for e.g). i tried with a different cord, but nothing changed. i made a video of it (sorry for the quality): [i can't post urls, so if you're interested search on youtube for Motorola Atrix 4G HD dock probably faulty. Thanks]
Please help me, i don't know the solution. I have googled after it almost for a week!
I have Motorola MB860, at&t branded Atrix 4G, but it is unlocked, i use it in Europe. Got the latest firmware (OTA). Unrooted, unmodified.
Thanks

add: the hdmi just doesn't work without the hd dock. i attach the hdmi cord to the phone and select entertainment center, and i get blank screen on the tv.
select a different input on the TV perhaps?
I have like 6 different inputs on my TV and I had to go through each one and wait a little bit to make sure the signal kicked in.
I know it was connected through the HDMI port, but I still had to cycle through the inputs to get it to appear.
still weird
thanks for your answer. i didn't checked it, but i had an lg optimus 2x (p990) and with the lg's hdmi port worked correctly. i know i should wait a little bit, i have been waited for 3 minutes! so i'm starting to think my phone's hdmi wrong. can i test it somehow?
whats ur webtop version?
it is WT-1.2.0-110_OLY-6
System version is 4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.US
Hey everybody,
few months ago i purchased the Moto Atrix 4G which is an awesome device, the reason i bought it for is the lapdock and the HD media dock, i loved the concept of Webtop system, anyway after that i got bored of the 4" screen as my main phone is the note with 5.3" HD Screen so i went for the Moto Razr as the secondary phone, i had to do little mods to the sockets to make them fit the Razr due to the differences in the positions of the USB and HDMI cables, anyways it worked like charm, when i saw the Sony Xperia S, i loved the camera bcuz the highest res. cams i have are the Razr's 8MP and the Note's 8MP so before purchasing the SXS i checked on the TV Launcher option and i loved it, then i checked on the physical connectors interfaces and noticed that the SXS has normal Micro HDMI and normal Micro USB with OTG, i knew i would be able to use the Moto Lapdock with my SXS, so i bought it as my 2ndry phone and its amazing, now while im enjoying my movies, web surfing, mailing, messaging on my SXS with lapdock i took some pictures to show to the community, the only problem im facing is the slowness of the mouse cursor as i googled alot and couldn't get it to go faster bcuz in the gingerbread models there isn't an option for cursor speed as in the HoneyComb, Here we go with the Pix...
Nice - does the dock have a second battery to charge the phone (And if so does it work)?
How much modding did you need to do to the dock?

Yes

Yes it has a battery that can charge the phone and last for 8 hours, but for the SXS when the lapdock lid is closed it charges the xperia, once the lid is opened it stops charging i guess this happens due to the USB OTG of the SXS, on the Razr & Atrix there is USB OTG but without power output unlike the SXS you can use most of the usb devices and they will be powered by the SXS it self, so if we could mod the USB OTG cable it would charge and work as usb host at the same time
sorry forgot ur second que. i did nothing but disassebling the socket which was by removing a couple of screws from the external socket housing which is separate from the rest of the lapdock housing, then i removed the two cables off the plastic holding them, if i could get micro HDMI female to male extension cable, and micro usb OTG extension cable it would be much better to freely move the SXS...
Can the Lapdock be bought on its own?
Yes...

i purchased the Atrix 4G and the Lapdock as a package, but it can be purchased separately from motorola, there is another model that has larger screen and built-in webcam, mine is Lapdock 100 the other model is Lapdock 500
Yeah, had a look.

Nice but not really worth the price tag for me.
Dude i bought both of the atrix and the lapdock fot 300$ as a package, and also bought the HD docking station with hdmi out,a charger,audio out and 3 usb ports for something like 60$ it was totally worthy then sold the atrix for the same price of the package and bought the razr as an upgrade, i couldnt hook up the galaxy note and galaxy tab to the lapdock bcuz of MHL issue so i bought the xperia s bcuz its the most suitable device for usage with lapdock ,i dont use any of my tablets anymore due to laptop like feeling with the great looking dock(slim as tge macbook air with matt metal housing) and could access all my files at the sametime in addition to the comfort of full keyboared, sorry for the long reply, i feel like i wrote a story
Yeah, will keep an eye for one at a better price. Laptop is nearly dead at this point and my Dropad just isnt reliable so it'd be nice to have something the odd time I need it.
Btw, no offence but that isnt a long post, not by a long stretch
Its cheaper here

Really interested in getting this for my XS
couple of questions, I watched a couple of videos on youtube, I see the cable attaches with the usb and hdmi right next to each other. So you separate these how exactly to make them work with the XS And when the XS is docked, how does the phone sit like can you use it on the go on the train etc? or is it too loose.
Does everything work fine, like the usb ports, microphone socket, speakers etc. with the Xperia S? Lastly you say the cursor can't be made faster in gingerbread, will the option be available in ICS?
thanks for the help, going see how cheap I can find it
Edit:
many thanks hunix!
i've just bought one purely based on your post!
I'll see how it goes in a couple of days!

How much moding is involved to get it to work with the Xperia S? Once you've modified it is it possible to revert if back to how it was, i.e. how much do you break?
Yes, same, would love to see how this works in action
As much as id like o get it, i keep telling myself i dont need another gadget surely
How do you split this up because obviously the two ports are on different sides of the phone on the xperia s...

Hi hunix
Just got my device. But... where did yuou get that micro hdmi (M) - micro hdmi (F) little cable? No way to connect without such extension, cables are too short
first, i want to apologize me, for my bad english, i try my best ;-)
1. i´m interested in an sony xperia p. is it right, that every androidphone with micro usb and hdmi connection, can be uses the lapdock?with the little modification ;-)
2.do you think, is it possible to use the lapdock with a xperia p and andoid 4.0? or are there some spezial parts of motorola in the system for the lapdock?
Hey guys and gals,
Although I've been lurking on these forums for a few weeks I've finally decided to join and ask some questions.
I've completed my S3 PC, got a nice monitor with HDMI input, bluetooth keyboard and mouse and of course the MHL adapter. Everything works great.. time to get rid of the ageing PC in my office.
I have a question though, I've connected the S3 to my TV and the new monitor and I never get a 1080p connection.. it's always 1080i
Is there any way to force 1080p as I do get a slight flicker with 1080i
I'm totally amazed at what the S3 can do! BTW I was a total apple fanboy until I got my S3 a few weeks ago.
Cheers in advance... and yes I searched
so nobody else is having this issue?? I was really hoping to get some help here Anyone??
Sure your monitor supports 1080p? What hz does it run when using 1080i?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
It doest output 1080p via hdmi just 1080i iv tested on all my tv sets and there are all top line and display tbe same i dont get any flicker tho are you using a good hdmi cable?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
thanks for confirming snowwhite007... I honestly thought it was able to output 1080p. I guess the slight flicker is due to the monitor then.
Flickering may also be due to the phone's HDMI chip. I'm not sure if it's clock source and other components are stable enough for a clean transmission of 31'104'000 (31,1million) pixels per second (1920 width*1080 height*30 images/second / 2 (interleaved) )
1080i and 1080p have the same native resolution of 1920x1080 pixels with the only difference being that "i" (interlaced) paints odd lines before even in 2 'ticks' while "p" (progressive) paints in one go from top to bottom.
So if there is any flickering it SHOULD only be every other line, can you confirm that?
Hi, i've got a question, can anyone give me a tip which keyboard and mouse works best with the s3?
I want to do exactly what you did. I want to use my phone as a pc.
So any Idea?
I bought a cheap bluetooth keyboard an mouse from Deal Extreme worka great
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Might sound like a silly thing, but just check your power saving isn't enabled, found that while it is enabled stuff like 1080 vids played really badly. That and what type of hdmi cable you are using could be factors.
I went on hols for two weeks and just took my S3 and a portable hard drive with hdmi and usb adapters and cables and used the hotels 1080p tvs as a full desktop, ubuntu and all
I am pretty positive that everytime I have used the hdmi it has been at 1080p. My guess is maybe a tv error unless it has run 1080p before?
EDIT: Oooh, just had another thought, what exact hdmi adapter did you use? Link included if that's not against forum rules? Know when I got mine I had to wade thru a lot of close immitations that don't display properly as they are cheap fakes sold as the real thing, one would only display 720p
can you tellme the model of bluetooth keyboard and mouse? i wanna do the same

I bought a generic mini bluetooth keyboard from amazon marketplace, it's not the bees knees but its about the size of the phone, bluetooth, rechargeable and only £10.
Works great for using the terminal or typing complex passwords etc when traveling or using as a desktop.
Also used the microsoft notebook bluetooth mouse 5000, got that cheap through amazon marketplace too.
Neither come with bluetooth adapters though so would need to by one seperately if ever using with a pc that doesn't have built in bluetooth.
1080i
Hi
I recently purchased MHL adapter from this website
http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s3-mhlhdmi-adaptor
And I have same problem as you. My TV only gets 1080i not 1080p.
However I don't get flickering, I just see that there is not enough vertical pixels (visible difference)
Tried bunch of different hdmi cables (cables that work with various 1080p devices with no issues whatsoever) and I always get 1080i.
Even when I try to playback video which is 1080p.
I'll try later if there is any difference if I plug it in through AMP (onkyo) and not the tv and let you know if there is any difference.
Cheers

Hello could somebody please test if the xperia tablet suports hdmi cec an wich resolution to get on the tv ?
thanks
yes by resolution 720p not more
Thx for your answer , 720 p not more thats a mess the last xperia smartphones supports 1080p
So playback on TV via HDMI is super but unfortunately it is not higher than 720p and 1080p I would prefer - perhaps with an update to JB wait times possible. Dual screen is also possible to not You can also stream pictures to your TV then it is also possible to 1080p via an adapter cable but not But the USB host and HDMI cables are currently Lowered price ... What is the bad one, the USB host cable to HDMI Adapteranschließen is not supported ... but it is only possible through the HDMI in addition to connect the charging cable so you do not run out of juice
What are you using to get HDMI out on the Tablet S? I've read several threads that say that the Tablet S does not support MHL adapters for HDMI out.

The discussion is about the Xperia Tablet S, which is capable of HDMI output, not the Sony Tablet S, which is not.
look at the name of this Thread i have the hdmi connection cabel and this works perfect in 720p

So it is... Sony Tablet S, Sony Xperia Tablet S... (not to mention the Sony Xperia S phone) not confusing to the consumer at all... Thanks, Sony!
