Is there a way to make it work on the gs2? I copied the apk from my infuse but says it can't connect to server, something like that. I got Netflix app working great but now I need this.
Thanks
I even went further then you did. I signed up for a Media Hub account using a Droid Charge at Costco. Then Media Hub on my SGS2 lets me sign-in, store credit cards, and shop but won't let me buy anything. I'm sure it'll be on the U.S. variants so maybe we'll have better luck then.

I found the Media Hub APK on one of the other Samsung XDA forums and installed it. It wouldn't let me do anything. I used the Droid Charge to set up an account. Media Hub on my SGS2 recognized the account I already set up. It still won't let me buy anything though. Samsung Movies from the UK is pretty cool too. It won't let us buy anything because it recognizes the phone's outside the UK. We're orphans.
That worked! Got the right apk and its all good, thanks!

You are able to access previously downloaded media and purchase new? Like some of the others I can browse but can't purchase... I was set up previously on the Charge and Infuse and already have paid for movies that I cannot access on the SGS2.
hey, where you able to purchase and download movies? This one is a deal breaker for me.

Consider the deal broken. I think the Samsung servers are reading something off the phone and can tell it's not a valid device. Maybe one of the devs can figure out what data that is and spoof it. If not we're out of luck. Maybe things will change once the U.S. variants start to roll-out and we can install their APK.
Has anyone managed to find a solution for this? It seems odd that the AT&T branded S2 has this built in but those of us using the international S2 are locked out. Has anyone managed to edit the apk?
Hello xda. I was wondering if anyone has seen anything about a photon webtop laptop dock?
Thanks
I saw it. Don't think it's worth $100. Then you have to buy the keyboard and remote separately? Serious rip off.

There is no laptop dock available yet. There's a dock with remote and a separate bluetooth keyboard.

It's been well worth it for me. I set it up at the office on a spare monitor with an old keyboard and mouse, works great.
Im sure you'll be able to get it cheaper on ebay or amazon once it hits stores.

Interesting, but we need to some some ballpark prices. If there's only a $50 difference between the models, I don't think most people will care.
so your saying there is a chance haha, i dont understand why the atrix and this photon wouldnt be able to use the same lapdock, but from the sounds of it..the photon will get one of these correct?

Short answer, charging/HDMI spots are in different positions so it wouldnt fit.
yea i noticed the hdmi and micro ports switched.....which really pissed me off that moto would do that, but im suspecting they will put out a lapdock for the photon specifically.

IMO, Motorola is stepping on their own foot. Had they not switched port positions, the Atrix lap dock could have been a huge selling item for the Photon or any other Moto phone which supports it. Why keep investing MORE money for additional docks when this one alone could have raked in a lot of cash.
I'm going to test something that might just work.
We might be able to MacGyver the Atrix LapDock for use with our Photons. Using Micro USB and HDMI Extender cables.
It's not elegant, by any stretch...but would be an easy workaround.
I wouldn't be adverse to having my Photon attached to the LapDock via cables, instead of docked.
If anyone beats me to testing this out, please report your findings.
Apparently at&t has exclusive rights to the laptop dock (using with the atrix) for a period of time. Not sure how long.

I had the same thought and am open to trying - my boss has the Atrix and I can use his lapdock.
I've found the usb micro extension on google shopping - has anyone found the mini-HDMI extension

Nope...haven't found THAT yet. Maybe they don't make the HDMI one?
Right now it looks like a tangled mess of adapters to make this work.
There is this adapter micro f to hdmi male:
http://www.usbsea.com/products/HDMI_Male_to_Micro_HDMI_Female_Adapter_R-AD-HMHF4.html
Then you need an hdmi f to f like this:
http://www.usbsea.com/products/HDMI_Female_to_HDMI_Female_Adapter_R-AD-HFHF.html
Then you can use your micro to regular hdmi cable.
I'm still looking for a micro hdmi f to micro hdmi m which would be perfect.

It's really frustrating that Sprint and Motorola are so far behind on the laptop dock for this phone. I really want this dock so that I can use it for work when I am on call, and not have to lug around a laptop and wait for it to boot up, connect to my hotspot etc. C'mon Sprint, C'mon Motorola! All they need to do is build two parts, a longer cable for the HDMI/USB ports, and a new baseplate for the phone to sit on, this should be nothing to kick those out, since obviously aside from the ports being swapped, it still works on this phone.
Update: So apparently this has been cracked by HBOTroll1, all thanks to him. You can find his thread here. Unfortunately I have dumped my photon because of Motorola's failed promises. It was a great phone but I will never again by from this company. I also do not have HBO GO anymore because of this issue but I might get it again to try this apk. I am reposting a direct link to the apk here.
This has been confirmed to work on the Photon by others. Also if you have an MHL device to try this on that would be appreciated. I am not sure if MHL is a problem to begin with though...
Disclaimer: To my extremely limited knowledge reposting this does not violate any copyright laws, which is not my intention. My belief is that this is a lack of functionality in the program which has been fixed in this apk. If such is not the case, HBO please contact me so we can discuss this error in your program.

I just got HBO GO, I know Game of Thrones is f*****g awesome as **** *** *****!!!!
Anywhoo... I tried plugging the photon into my tv as the PS3 does not yet have an app and HBO GO refuses to play video with the HDMI plugged into it. Does anyone know any way to stop the app or the system of realizing that the signal is being sent out?
I would be willing to put in a lot of effort into getting this hack to work but I don't even know where to start. So any advice would rock!
RANT: I know they have a reason for disabling this but for realz I can just torrent their shows so when I'm paying I'm not going to try and rip off their stuff. I mean there's a reason that I'm paying!
RANT EXTENDED: I hate all of this DRM like bullsh!t that makes it more difficult to be a paying customer then a priate. I mean you can just go to isohunt or thepiratebay and search for game of thrones 720p. Then download the playstation media server and install the extra codecs and whatnot they recomend. This will let your computer transcode the video files so that the ps3 can output the video over your network. Wifi N can handle the video great and plug in a hundred foot Ethernet cable for $13 and get beautiful streaming with 5.1 surround sound.

Unfortunately I don't think there is any kind of workaround for this. I remember having the same issue. Think I tried running HBO from browser in Webtop mode but can't remember if it just didn't work or if it worked and the video was bad quality.
Probably better off downloading vid from the net and installing to view locally.
what we need is to get our hands on the earlier version of the app
I've heard people report it USED to work using a combination of the first release of the app and something called Xternal Display (which just mirrors the image on the screen.)
I know sprint t.v doesn't work either on HDMI out using stock mopho .

I can't believe you're brave enough to use isohunt and piratebay. Those are the two most well known trackers that get people busted.

I'm guessing that it check the version number and would want you to update. Though if anyone has an older apk I would love to try this out!
I have version 1.3.1, I just installed version 1.7.1 and installed this version and it still plays fine, haven't tried hdmi out using version 1.3.1 yet. But I'll upload it tomorrow, I'm away from my computer right now
I got it working perfectly
I used splashtop on my Macbook which also works on PC to get it working everytime without fail. I have a video on youtube that shows me doing it but I am a newb so I can't post link. lol
sorry everybody, i thought the thread was dead but here is the hbogo 1.3.1 apk, just fyi it gives out the original error message saying that there is something wrong, not the new one stating the program doesn't allow hdmi out.

Really hope someone can help me with this problem I'm having. When I connect my Photon to a lapdock I don't get the option to use Webtop. The only options I get are Music, Gallery, and Mirror Screen. If I don't pick an option then all I see on the lapdock's screen is the red bouncing Motorola logo. When I choose either of those 3 options it displays on the lapdocks screen but I have no control of it via the touchpad or the keyboard. I have tried two different lapdocks, an Atrix that I modded myself and just now a Bionic, and both behave the same way.
As far as I know my phone isn't rooted or modded in any way. Only reason I'm not sure is because I bought my phone used close to a month ago. I have done a factory reset and wipe cache several times since I've owned it hoping that might help but so far it hasn't. Currently I am running Android 2.3.5, System Version 45.4.13.MB855.Sprint.en.US, and Webtop WT-1.2.0-180. Thanks in advance!
The HDMI or USB pins aren't connected all the way in. Reboot and try again. That's the most common reason it shows, unless you broke web top in some way

I've rebooted countless times to no avail. When I connect the phone to the lapdock the phone charges so I assume that should mean the USB connection is fine and I get the Motorola logo on the lapdock screen so that should mean the HDMI connection is okay I guess. Ater a few seconds though the Motorola logo then starts to bounce around and that's all it does. I can choose Music, Gallery, and Mirror Screen on my phone and those show up just fine on the lapdock's screen. I have yet to use Webtop so I don't have anything to compare this to.
I have factory reset my phone a couple times hoping that would fix this but it hasn't. I'm assuming doing a factory reset would also reset Webtop and remove/modify any changes that have been made right?

I have mixed results with Webtop. Sometimes it works upon connecting the phone and sometimes it doesn't. I called Motorola support. They told me to take out the battery reinstall and then connect. This seems to work but not all the time.

Thanks for the suggestion but that didn't seem to do it. I remember trying that when I originally noticed the problem. Did that a few times before considering I should factory reset the phone. I just did it again but this time I did it like 5 times in a row and kept getting the same results everytime. The HDMI connection window pops up on the phone and the only options I have to choose from are Gallery, Music, and Mirror phone on display. :crying:
Just got done taking the dock area of the lapdock apart so the loose cables were out of the cradle part. Did that to test to make sure the usb and hdmi connectors were making a solid connection with the phone in case the dock was getting in the way. Same result. The hdmi connection window pops up with only 3 non-webtop options available like earlier.
Well at least you ruled out the HDMI cable as not faulty. The issue must be the USB cable. You stated that you had no control of the touchpad and keyboard. Does the Photon show that its charging?

Yeah the phone charges just fine when docked. Wish I could get this figured out. Webtop seems like a cool feature that I would use quite a lot if I could only get the phone and lapdock to play nice together.

It might be weptop itself. I can't think of any reason why it wont work other than that it just denies connecting to the lapdocks. You might need to try unlocking and flashing a different webtop. Seeing as you are on 2.3.5 it might be possible if you didn't take ota to get to 2.3.5. If you did, you may just need a newer lapdock like the lapdock 100. You pretty much ruled out hardware so software is the issue

When I bought it it already had 2.3.5 so I'm going to guess the update was the OTA. As much as I would like to test out the lapdock 100 I don't think I'm going to do it. No place around me has one out on display for me to use and I'm definitely not going to buy it blindly since that would make the 3rd lapdock I've bought so far lol
Dang it. Guess I'll just admit I've been beaten by this and move on. Thanks for the help! I really do appreciate it.
I'm having the same issues. atrix lapdock, 2.3.5 ota update. i get unsupported device on my phone and those three options.
im trying to find a webtop update if possible.. phones rooted but not unlocked because of the freaking bs ota update that i THOUGHT was going to be ics when it showed up 2 days before qtr4

Do you happen to have a mediadock? I'm curious if our phones would still show webtop if used with the mediadock. I don't have a 1 and I'm really not interested in buying one if that also won't work with my phone.

If by "mediadock" you mean the HD dock, yes... well, the Electrify does Webtop on the HD dock. My wife's does (stock, unrooted). Mine only mirrors, but I'm running CM10 and that not doing webtop is a known issue. Webtop sucks anyway (IMO), I'd rather have CM10. But to answer your question, yes webtop works on the HD dock. You just need to bring your own keyboard, mouse, and screen.

I know webtop works with the hd dock but I was asking ron if he had one to see if it would work with his phone since our phones are having the same issue.
I know a lot of people don't have positive feelings about webtop but that isn't my concern. I would like to get it working so I can at least try it. It is a feature this phone is supposed to have yet I haven't even see it on the lapdock I bought just for it.
Hi all, I'm sure not everyone uses the IR blaster and the quick remote app but here's to those who use it daily.
The LG quick remote app, isn't really that quick - no widget, or quick access from your homescreen, afaik. Other apps I use to find handy was the anymote but somehow, it shows that the LG v20 is unable to learn new codes, which is totally false since the LG app is able to do that.
Does anyone have a better recommendation of the app they use? Feel free to chip in please!

Galaxy remote looks pretty sleek! Fingers crossed it learns code on the v20 too!
I use anymote from the play store. Out of all I've tried, it's the best one so far
I'm definitely one of those who use the IR Blaster daily and it was a major factor in getting the v20, but unfortunately from what I've read LG doesn't follow standard IR protocols so most universal apps claim to not support LG devices. I used to use Smart Remote (which eventually turned into Anymote) and none of my devices work with it so can't use it, and I haven't tried peel yet but I have tried a lot of other different IR apps and the couple that actually worked seemed to be spotty at best. I was really disappointed that I can't use Anymote because I loved the way I had it setup and I've been forced to use quick remote which like the OP said basically sucks, so I'm really hoping someone figures something out or is able to find a universal app that works the way it should with this phone.

Ok thanks for the info I'll definitely give it shot and post my results whenever I get a chance. I was also going to edit my previous post because I came across a decent IR app on the Play store I had never heard of before called "Sure", and I haven't had a chance to see if recording is available or not and if it works or if includes any widgets yet. I can say it does cover a huge amount of devices and all of the ones I've tried so far work exactly like they should, I only had a few minutes to mess with it this afternoon but so far it seems like a pretty decent app.

and i'll be Sure to take a look at that too. Haven't had time to tinker with the app yet. Yeah, anymote needs to have the alternate ir control thing on for it to work.
another thing is the blaster's ranges seems to be intermittent at times, or perhaps just a very narrow direct pointing field. most times it has to be direct for the commands to work.

i can't seem to find it though. i have ran through the widgets page twice and nada.
Galaxy app is really great though, btw.

I could have sworn I saw it in widgets. I just checked and it's not there.
I found this though.

I've been using it for long time. I think the best ir app.

Just from using for 2 days I can already completely agree with you on that! What really blew me away was the ability to create a custom button that you can manually add the hex or decimal ir code to! I've had this hdmi switch that I got a long time ago (and of course it was missing the remote) that I had all but given up on because I could never find it listed as a device on any of the apps I've tried, and when I figured out you could manually enter ir hex codes with Galaxy I looked it up online and found them.. and then Bob's your uncle I can control it with my phone now! I'm sure there are probably other apps that also let you manually add the ir codes, but that along with all of the customization options and being able to add widgets makes Galaxy the best one imo too!

haha, yeah. on that note, i must say the quick bulletin doesn't really serve much use. i miss the old days of my HTC one with the quick feed and integration.
i'm currently trying to figure out how to decode the ir commands since galaxy does not learn the codes or have the codes to my devices. T__T

i've been raking the net for codes for my panasonic wall fan, and this europace casement air-conditioning unit.
hitting a stump there, if only i could figure out how to rip those codes off the different apps.
I like anymote the best been using it since my note 2

Have you tried using the code scan feature that Galaxy has to see if it finds it? I'm kind of in the same boat with an oscillating floor fan that I have in my room, and after 2 days of searching online I finally emailed the Galaxy devs last night to see if they could send me the code. I was surprised because they actually responded pretty quickly and they suggested I try the scan option and see if it finds it (I knew it was there but I completely forgot to try it so as soon as I get home from work I'm going to give it a shot), and they said if that doesn't work then they should be able to find the code I need and send it to me. So I have to say Galaxy Universal was worth every penny and I can't say enough good things about it!
As far as ripping codes off of other apps that would be awesome and yeah I wouldn't even know where to begin. One thing I've been wondering ever since I found out quick remote can record IR codes (meaning that our IR blasters can also receive), is if it would be possible for someone to create an app that could show the IR hex codes of whatever remotes you point at it because that would be forkin awesome. I have no idea what the limitations are though I just figured if quick remote can duplicate an IR code from another remote, you'd think it would at least be possible to create an app that can display the code info instead of just duplicating it. Anyway hope you get it figured out and if I'm able to get mine working I'll post the results.
