Atrix Lapdock overheating

• ATRIX Lapdock ATRIX HD compatibility

  If I buy the micro USB and micro-HDMI cables to connect the ATRIX HD to my old lapdock ATRIX, can I still use the lapdock as a screen, keyboard and mouse even without the software of webtop?

  I have the ATRIX 4 G with almost all of the accessories, and I was upset to learn that Motorola has decided to cancel the upgrade to ICS and let the ATRIX owners stuck in the gingerbread. I am now considering an upgrade to the HD of the ATRIX. I stopped by my AT & T store to take the ATRIX HD for a test drive and I like the look and feel of it. It is very sensitive and seems to be a great upgrade. I don't want to lose the use of my lapdock.

  stbain,

  I actually tried this and it does not work as you described. However, I have a few comments. The microUSB and HDMI ports have a different orientation. I modified atrix 4G lapdock brother to fit its Atrix 2 (same orientation as the HD). This requires dissasembling your lapdock but there are detailed instructions on the web. What I did is really turn at each port, class one of the blankets with a file and the lapdock is now directly usable for Atrix 2. I tried this lapdock briefly with my HD Atrix and all controls are active, work on keyboard and touchpad. It also assumes the appropriate landscape orientation. A minor thing, I did not like was the fact that the screen on my HD Atrix stayed on and seat upside down, so if you're picky you dislike. However, I tried this, before the update and as far as I know that can be addressed now.

  I hope this helps

• Interference case ATRIX Lapdock and phone

  Hi all, I use a strong enough case (Otterbox Defender) for my ATRIX. This case prevents the docking station, I have to remove my case to connect to my Lapdock. Can anyone recommend a sturdy box that does not interfere with the docking station? Or we could ask nicely Motorola to develop a short "coax" for those of us who use the case?

  Thank you

  Rick

  Welcome to the forums!

  This has been a topic of much frustration for some of the community of users. I think that people have indicated that the Otterbox commuter was compatible with all platforms, if you remove the dock adapter plate and the plastic plate lasts of the Otterbox...

• Can not activate HotSpot for Atrix LapDock

  Was in an airport this week with a traveling companion. Had my LapDock with me and time that's happening on the Web. My companion was aware of my equipment and asked if he could use my Hotspot for his laptop. Of course, I said.

  Then I spent several minutes trying to get it to turn on. Finally took the Atrix off the LapDock and things would turn out. Back in the LapDock and stayed connected and I'm back to what I was doing. He later died still in dock, but could not turn on again as before.

  Searched around that and found nothing of not being able to activate the HotSpot while in the LapDock. Activates / deactivates when fine in my Dock of Messrs. 1.8.3 running stock at the moment.

  "Undocumented feature" or is something broken on my equipment?

  I need advice.

  Thank you

• Atrix 2 does not power the Lapdock 100?

  I own 2 Atrix and LapDock 100, I was under the impression that once the battery is dead on the Lapdock, that the lapdock would go off the power to the battery of the atrix 2. Is this bad?

  The original 4g LapDock sink the Atrix 4 original once lapdock battery is dead?

  I have the original lapdock with the Atrix 4 G. The lapdock feeds the phone and not the phone powered the lapdock.

• Overheating my Atrix

  I don't really know how an Atrix must generate heat.

  But I want my own get hot, especially when I use it's hard.

  Heat is located right next to the MotoBlur logo.

  Any idea on the amount of heat is normal?

  It depends on what you're doing... Heat is generated in 2 places - CPU/radio and battery.

  If you use your phone a lot, it gets hot. A lot of voice/data means the hot chips and if the battery quickly, it gets hot. The fires heat - download maps, navigation screen is activated, gps chip is running, is discharge the battery, etc.

  Many background apps and widgets also add more cpu usage and data.

  The phones are designed to stop if they get hot, but other then that there is not much else you can do.

• States of FAQ lapdock 500 features only works on one phone, please confirm

  This is almost entirely devoted to the brand, but anyone can answer if they know.

  According to the FAQ (whicle looking for everything related to the 500 lapdock), he says the following...

  Q: which phones can be connected to Lapdock Pro 500?

  A:

  • DROID Bionic
  • Photon 4G
  • Atrix 2
  • DROID RAZR
  • Motorola RAZR

  So far so good.

  now, it indicates what follows after that...

  Please note that at the time where the Lapdock 500 launched , the following experiments work only with the RAZR:

  • Ethernet connector
  • Webcam
  • VGA connector

  If this is true, then I'm wrong to assume it is not not even useful to the lapdock 500 for the Photon (or any other other than the Razr phone?

  You can mark or anyone with access to the ups higher than Motorola, confirm this claim of the FAQ, and or to know if an update will be introduced which will allow these features work with the other webtop phones activated.

  TS

  Hi twospirits,

  Thanks again for your interest in Motorola and Webtop/Lapdock products!

  The instructions in the FAQ are correct. At the moment only RAZR products fully support all the features Lapdock 500.

  As you know the phones all the features of Lapdock drive and at the time of its elaboration and launch of the 500 Lapdock products you mention Bionic, Photon and Atrix 2 had already been available on the market.

  We call these products wiith these Lapdock 500 features listed there and when updates are available for these phones we will not fail to mention their support for Lapdock 500. In the meantime Lapdock 500 will work correctly with these phones for all other aspects of the dock.

  Kind regards

• Motorola Atrix 4 G camera won't initialize

  The stock for my Motorola atrix 4g camera does not work. When I pull the top of the camera or camcorder. The screen is black. As if there is something blocking the lens. Camera overlays are present. The shutter button and zoom in and out keys. After a while, I get an error message "Failed to initialize the camera" then I have to force close. There is nothing of blocking the lens. I thought it was a software problem. I've tried everything. Date of factory reset twice. I tried different camera software, removed the battery, power cycles. Nothing works. Everything else works fine. I scoured the internet for a solution. There is no solution, only the complaints from other users of android with the same question. I think it's a hardware problem. I have one question. Do you know if the replacement of the camera on the device will solve the issue? Thank you.

  If it helps the phone got really hot at a time where the screen started turning black on the upper right when the camera is located on the other side. That may have something to do with it.

  But I want to know if the camera replacement will solve the problem for me. Thank you.

  I SOLVED THE PROBLEM

  It's a mechanical problem. I replaced the flex Ribbon that holds the camera, the volume buttons and front detectors. When I removed the Ribbon flex, I noticed a burn mark on the underside of the flex Ribbon. Thus, the reason that the unit stopped working because the phone has overheated twice and stop. That had something to do with damage to the Ribbon of flex.

  So, after replacement of the flex Ribbon. The camera is fully functional. If you encounter this problem, the only way to fix it is to have the flex replaced Ribbon.

  If you want more information, please let me know. I want to help.

• Lost charger Lapdock

  Anyone know if I can, and where I can buy the charger for the Lapdock?

  Mine was lost during my trip wknd - hope, I don't have to buy the whole dock again

  Thanks in advance 4 your help

  Lapdock and Xoom Speaker dock uses the same power supply.

  The Atrix HD dock and the Xoom device have a common (even if different than the lapdock/Speaker dock) power supply/charger.

  Have contacted us blaquevenus and help with how to get a replacement charger.

• LapDock screen "blinking" - any ideas?

  My screen LapDock, a few days (best I can tell) began to turn to the market, almost like it is re-synchronization of the video signal. The keyboard and mouse are still not working the screen is dark (if I'm in the middle of typing something, the words continue) so I don't think it's a connection problem.

  It's boring, more than anything else. I have the rugged cover of motorcycle on the Atrix and I removed the LapDock connector adapter plate.

  Clues?

  It really looks like there is a problem with your lapdock. One last thing to try to confirm would be to check if the flashing occurs in Media Center mode as well as the WebTop mode with the handset in the lapdock. If this happens in the Media Center application, then I would say to get a warranty replacement lapdock.

• Photons: Compatibility of the 100 Lapdock

  Ran across this when you browse the update of the site and thought I would point that out, but when you check the 100 Lapdock overview on the product site the Photon 4 g no longer appears (only the Razr, the Atrix 2 and Bionic). It worries me a little bit because we are still in limbo at the moment in terms of whether or not the Photon will receive ICS. I love the phone and I will be issued a new Webtop phone more powerful hitting I hope Sprint network, so I can 'upgrade' my lapdock 100 but in the meantime, it would be nice to be able to use the new features of Android to come to light.
  At the very least, I sincerely hope that Motorola is working on a Tegra 3 or quad-core Webtop (s) phone for the Sprint Network (or review at least makes a).

  @kidroboto

  It is compatible. I hooked my up to it. It is enough to have at least the 45.3.6 update.

• Our time capsule will blink a light amber and utilities said that it is overheating. What is the problem?

  We had a problem with our (less than 2 years) time capsule - the light yellow flashing, the fan runs often and looking in "utility" on my mac, it says that it is overheating. What is the cause of this?

  The Time Capsule fan runs constantly, so you shouldn't be aware of the fan running on the time Capsule 'often'.

  If you receive a message that the Time Capsule is overheating, there is probably a problem with the internal power supply on the Time Capsule.

  If you have an Apple Store near you, it would be wise to take the time Capsule to let the experts check the issue and discuss your options.
