Atrix lapdock Motorola Razr

[e-drian]

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.

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.

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?

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.

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 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.
