Just ordered an Atrix 4g Lapdock for my AHD

smogtdi · Sep 14, 2012

I just don't care about the webtop app, I will use it as an HDMI/Keyboard/mouse just like I do with my cheapo 7" tablet on ICS.

it cannot get any better at 49$ on all4cellular

Keep in mind you might have to hack the lapdock a bit to fit your AHD... or get extension cables for it.

Funny but no, I got mine on ebay and paid quite a bit more before finding that deal. So I chose to share it...

By the way, the verizon stores have the lapdock 100 New for 49$ while supplies last

I went to the verizon store in Malone NY and they didn't have the lapdock 100 but I was able to try my Atrix HD in a Bionic Lapdock.

Simply put, the lapdock is a 12 inches HDMI monitor with a USB hub speading the AHD micro USB port to 2 full sized usb ports, the keyboard and the trackpad.

So it turn your phone into a large screen netbook Under android ICS... with 4g lte connectivity.

It was just fine without the heavy webtop app. Specialy for 49$

The bionic lapdock was still at 129$

By the way, all the lapdock, exception made for the 500 model, are dumb device. Any smartphone or device with hdmi out and usb out can be connected to the motorola lapdock. ( including the mk802 android stick or the samsung galaxy series)

How's the resolution, I dont think you got the lapdocks native 1366*768, did it look blurry? And was it edge to edge?

Well I didn't have a lot of time to play with the dock in the verizon store and still waiting for mine but other people reported that various hdmi devices will do it in 720p resolution. That would leave 24 pixels on each side of the screen. You can google "lapdock hack" to see what people are doing with it.

souljaboy · Sep 16, 2012

so this is what it must look like ? click for bigger.

its a galaxy nexus with 720p screen and soft buttons.

It should do good once the dpi gets set to ~20 lower...

did the keyboard and touchpad work ?

By the way, if you set dpi to a certain value, ICS will switch to tablet mode, and it will almost be the same as webtop mode, maybe the atrix2 launcher works too, for smaller icons... if you are interested, maybe we could figure something out.

it will be more like this

It looked exactly like when I connect my ICS tablet to the HDM on the 720P hdtv

souljaboy · Sep 16, 2012

Well let me know how it turns out.

I'll be getting an Atrix HD in about a month, and I know some guys from the atrix2 forum who will help with the black borders and tablet mode. (Myself included, lol)

It would be even better if you could get some info for us while I still have mine.

If you have an ATRIX 4g dock, you can us it for a make shift laptop with a Raspberry Pi kit.

here is a xda member using his AHD to a lapdock 500

the thread pretty much cover it all

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1771033

anyway, HDMI mirroring of a 720p phone screen is just perfect and still better than my 7" tablet.

smogtdi · Sep 22, 2012

Got the lapdock for the 4g. The keyboard is just amazing, screen is perfect, I just use the overscan setting on the atrix hd to match the screen resolution and fill it completely. I had to flip the lapdock connectors as Stated in various post on lapdock vs razr. Easy job, perfect results. I use the chrome browser and it just work as it should be.

Very well invested 50 Bucks

Edit: only the lapdock for the atrix 4g need to have the connectors flipped. The bionic, the lapdock 100 and the lapdock 500 just fit out of the box.

Lapdock : the pictures

I would say this lapdock is just brilliant. It's very well made, surprisingly thin and lightweight.

From now on, all my cell phones will have to be able to use this accessory (hdmi out and usb out)

I don't care about the lack of webtop app, ICS android just do it as a tablet.

then again, it is fast. thanks to the dual core cpu/gpu. In my specific usage, the Atrix HD + Lapdock is faster than my atom 270 Netbook under Ubuntu 12.04

lol its upside down, huh... is it really bad for the wifi signal ?

do you have a setting for settings>input>pointer speed ?

if so, i recommend you set it 1 or 2 notches higher

when connected, you can switch in settings>sound> from hdmi audio to phone speakers, the lapdock speakers are pretty(very) horrible...

no wifi/3G is still OK and the screen just rotate to the correct orientation.

I use a wireless mouse

The lapdock speakers are OK, you can pump up the volume on the cell phone AND you can pump up the volume on the lapdock (it is really just an HDMI monitor with separate volume and brightness settings)

Atrix lapdock used commercialy

I had to use the lapdock with a customer.

it just beat the laptop hands down.

As I always keep the pictures/videos/pdf on the sdcard, it's a lot faster on the atrix than booting up a laptop..

So I just chose the video on the AHD, docked the phone and pressed PLAY and instant video !!

this was just impressive !!!

Just ordered an Atrix 4g Lapdock for my AHD
