Can the multimedia dock be connected to a PC ?

[DannyBiker]

You know, for accessing the sd-card and internal storage directly from the dock...

Thanks !

It doesn't have a USB port for connecting mini or micro USB cables. I don't think it can be done. Also, when docked, it's in USB Host mode, so you couldn't connect a host to a host anyway.

That's plain dumb...

The hd dock has 4 ports on the back to connect via usb. Also has the hdmi port. Guess that is not the same on the standard dock?

I Think thats not possible, but you can connect a mouse & keyboard and use it "as a" PC

Slightly off topic, it is on the lapdock

I used to do it alot while I was at work and wanted dual monitor keyboard setup for use with a VM I was working on, enways I problay wont be able track down the links for the items I used anytime soon, basicly was a 12in extension cable for each of the micro usb and mini/micro (w/e) hdmi and then for the connections to the laptop it was a converter to standard usb and the same for the hdmi, anything more than 1ft or so will not work ('Ive tried needs more power transmitted to make it or somthing) the drivers were found easily via windows 7.

lame

This thread just saved me $15... I was planning on getting one of these to charge from a high powered usb port on my pc and also an easy way to transfer files from PC to Atrix.... I guess I'll just go with the standard dock for now.

Multimedia dock is for charging and audio out only nd by design does not permit a usb connection to a PC. Think of it like the car dock with the audio output on the dock not the cable. The HD dock, supports usb devices and HDMI, but that is the opposite of what you are looking for. In short, the only way to mount the storage to a PC is with a usb or third party usb dock.

...I have the multimedia dock and use an AdHoc network between my PC and Atrix to transfer files, there are a lot of APPs that allows you to even remote control your Atrix from the PC via WiFi, give it a try, I know you'll like it...

Can you post the name of an app that allows for remote control of Android / Atrix.

You can try AirDroid. It's free in the Play Store and has some cool features.

OMG, I tried AirDroid and am having a hard time believing what I am seeing. It's like a wireless Webtop! I'm going to write to the dev with some enhancement ideas.

It works surprising well as a PC (admittedly it is about as fast a slow netbook, but if you are just doing some web viewing, word processing and spreadsheets, it is fine).

You can plug in some speakers too.
