Lapdock for sale

PM me if anyone is interested. Moded for use with the photon. I just haven't been using it and could use the cash.

Who here is running CM9 and using the lapdock? I am having to do a battery pull every time I disconnect it. On the bright side, I got Ubuntu installed and it's pretty cool.

I know that our phones aren't power houses but how does web browsing with music a full desktop mail client running work out? (if you can try it). I ordered my lapdock last Friday from 1saleaday for $60 and I've decided that I might as well make do this the right way!

Question. Has anyone tried using the Lapdock with the ICS Port? Does it work fine and such?

I finally got an Atrix lapdock from the most recent 1saleaday promotion ... went through (the very good) instructions for modding for the Photon -- and now when I plug in the phone, the phone switches to "kickstand mode". When I open the Lapdock ... nothing happens. Suggestions? Tried with one rooted Photon (mine) and one stock (wife's).

When you plug it in try to make sure the hdmi connects before the usb.

Has anyone found the cables cheaper than all4cellular??
I'm contemplating just taking a 4 dollar micro hdmi male cable from monoprice and the female connector from mouser electronics for 2bucks and soldering my own together..
I just cant see WHY that one cable is 20 bucks. or both for 30

I don't see the need for cables. Works fine without.

Thanks

I followed your steps and it works like a charm. Thanks for the help, I am typing on it now. So far a very good experience with the lap dock. Thanks again.

so, I see the dock on sale on amazon.com for $75. Is it worth it to buy? It'd totally be an unessential toy, but it'd be nice to be able to use 4G in a laptop-like format away from home. I've got some amazon credits that I can use, so it'd essentially be free, i'm just trying to figure out how useful it would be.

are there restrictions on which apps can run (i've never even used the HD dock)?

My phone says that but it works just fine. I would ignore that piece. Make sure you are taking out the spacer where the phone sits otherwise it won't sit deep enough to connect.

So I assume this will also work with the Atrix 2?

I just ordered the original Atrix Lapdock, so I am praying I can use this lapdock with my Atrix 2 instead of having to fork over more money for the Lapdock 100

I picked up a couple of bionic lapdocks when they were on sale for 49.99 plus tax.
I have to say it works great with no mods.
My photon just sits a little to the right of the dock.
I can't wait to try out the lapdocks with my raspberry pi(if it ever gets here).

hi there
got my Lapdock, modded it and it work fine. I have Defender case, so do not want to remove it every time to use it. Bougth micro usb and micro hdmi extension cables and its not working now. It does powers Lapdock, but displays big Motorola logo like a screen saver and its not going into webtop mode. If I only plug micro hdmi, lapdock works as external monitor only. Phone is bone stock and everything works fine if pluged in directly into Lapdock. Any ideas???
