I went to Bestbuy this morning and was checking out the Atrix when I was told by a BB employee that you can hook up a bluetooth keyboard and connect the hdmi cable to the phone and tv and use it as a computer if you don't have the lapdock.
is this true?
I really don't think the dude knew what he was talking about because he kept saying that only the Inspire handset is capable of working on the new HSPA+ network. I kept telling him the Atrix can too and he had to go get a manager to confirm....wtf.
But anyway, is that the case? You can connect the Atrix to the TV via hdmi and have the same kind of experience you would have as if you had the lapdock?

No, it's not the case with stock. There are some people working on it so that it will be possible, but they haven't cracked it yet.
It used to be, but Motorola changed it so that you needed the dock because of friendly user feedback.

Oh, ok....When he said all that, it didn't even sound correct. But he so happy, I thought he was having an asthma attack just from talking about it. His eyes was all big ..I was like wow. I hurried up and left after that experience.
There's now a hack to enable webtop without the lapdock or HDMI dock here.
You can also find an HDMI mirroring hack here. Just remember to connect the HDMI cable before running the app for the first time.

Not sure if it it relevant now that it was brought up from the dead, but with the lapdock I can surf the net with the built in browser instead of Firefox. Not sure if its the same with the multimedia docking station though. From what I remembered a tethering plan was not needed with that kit but I was told you could still surf the net.
Thread cleanup, back on topic please.
I noticed that. I got to this thread from a google search, so I figured I'd add pointers to the more recent threads answering the question. Terribly sorry if this somehow offended you.

i would like to re-spark interest in this.. i feel that if a dev could tackle this it would be one of the greatest advancements of the sgs fascinate..
i have had a lot of people say that it is not possible because of the hardware.. or the cdma chipset.. but i read in droid forums someone had a tvout kernel in testing then this post below states 2.2 could have it.. im not convinced it cant be done.. the devs at xda are amazing. and i have faith in all of you.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...80024-adding-tv-out-capability-fascinate.html
Video out... from... where? From the Fascinate? I just looked again, in case we've been looking at different phones all this time... and the only plug is USB. Is there a magic plug on yours that has like 10x the throughput of USB2?
I am told there are pins in the USB slot. So... ok. This is still a "not going to happen until you get a new kernel" thing, so don't hold your breath.
Also every other phone that does this sucks while doing it, so...
Last time I checked there is no hdmi out, let me look again...no, just usb.

The Epic has tv out in testing, might be fully working too, haven't checked in a while. I'm pretty sure it uses component cables out of the headphone jack. So it appears to have nothing to do with hardware and everything to do with carrier preference, as the Epic is CDMA and isn't supposed to have tv out either.
Sent from my SCH-I500
We will get it sooner than later. If 2.2 starts rolling out like the reps have been saying, then we should be getting this sooner.
To the first 3 negative responses... Via 3.5 jack or usb to hdmi.. I would prefer 3.5 video out... If your just going to bash on here don't bother posting..

The fasinate already has video out. The headphone jack has a 3rd line to it. All you have to do is buy the wire. Its a red, yellow, white analog plug in on the other side.
That seems to be the case, but as of yet there's no way to enable it. And, as in the case of the Epic, the drivers are most likely not present and will have to be hacked on to our phone.

...at the risk of being stoned to death (and not the good kind).... the Telus Fascinate uses the headphone jack for it's TV out. There is an option for the TV out enable in under the Settings -> Display tab at the bottom with the option for NTSC or PAL. It's a fairly standard cable. I had two - one which didn't seat properly and didn't work and the other one didn't look like it went in all the way in but worked fine. Disclaimer to all - of course this doesn't mean that works on anything other than a Telus Fascinate.....

you need a ground in there somewhere. 4 contacts would be left, right, ground, and mic. i would assume the SGS phones that do have video out uses the mic in as the video out. so that means it would have 2 connections to the pin in the 3.5 jack. one for video out and the other as the mic in.
Im holding back my profanity because im trying to be a good boy.
I NEED a working av cable that is compatible with tv out. Check my posts, this is the 3rd thread ive made since december on this exact subject. Now based on your experience...
Does the zune cable work?
Does an iphone 3.5mm work?
Does the official samsung work?
The nokia does NOT. wasted my money.
The verizon wireless cable they offer did NOT.
the sony camcorder out does NOT.
ive pissed away over 40 bucks now and cant take it anymore.
If you bring up "have u switched the cables around/is tv out turned on/using pal or other/etc" I will eat your first born. I have tried every troubleshoot with each cable. Please, im begging you, let me know your experiences and if any match up, I may finally have a successful result on getting it up and running.

Dude. He said it works.

just go buy a zune cable from a local electronics store and test it out, if it doesnt work for you you can always return it, generally speaking if you are polite the management of whatever store will work with you. One person has confirmed it working multiple times might as well give it a shot. Remember if it doesnt work just take it back, not a big deal.

Seriously, this thread is on the front page of the accessories subforum..you know, the place where people would post about a tv out accessory cable. The zune is confirmed working in that thread.

My observations: The videos are conflicting. The first shows the status bar with purple indicators, then with blue indicators. The second video then shows it with the Gingerbread status bar. It also shows that when in tablet, its Honeycomb. However, the web browser they show is Internet Explorer!

I like the idea. Guess we'll see how well it's executed. This is the type of thing I'm waiting for before I jump into the tablet market. I'd rather not have both a separate tablet and phone. Give me one device that can double as both depending on the situation (tablet at home, phone on the go).

Another topic that should be moved to the a general discussion forum.
What would be even better would be to combine this PadPhone with their Asus Transformer (the tablet that turns into a laptop with the addition of the keyboard). Then you would have a triple combo: phone, tablet, and laptop all in one device.

Timely updates (granted no cell technology or carrier to deal with) and quality products could put Asus in position to be a major player in the Android market.

Hi there! Yes I do see it in my market place, I am using a completely stock Epic 4G, EC05 2.2.1 and my market place version is 2.3.6 I think... (if i remember how to check the version, im on heavy pain killers forgive me if im not making sense )

Mind posting it up for us?
I know someone probably has posted this already but over an hour looking for a suitable solution without installing some app on my phone and computer...
I was running CleanG3 on my Epic and the USB and WiFi tethering worked fine but got sick of the update notification to FC09, so I resetup my phone with Android 4.0.4 ICS and CyanogenMod 9 B3. Normally I would simply ask on that thread but my account limitations says I can't...
I want to use the built in USB or WiFi tethering but it has to be "unlocked" first because I'm not paying Spring $40/mo to use my own unlimited data. Even the Bluetooth tethering would be cool, but really I only need one of them to work and prefer USB.
Anyone know of something I can flash or what ever to get rid of the sprint checks so it works?
Thanks in advance!

I was trying that... Found the issue though.
In order for USB Tethering to work you have to disable USB Debugging. I don't really know why my original test of WiFi tethering didn't work, but after disabling debugging that seems to work now too. Still haven't tested the BT Tether, but I have a feeling maybe that works too.

No. They cannot add the fee unless you request adding the plan and agree to terms and conditions. However they can cancel you altogether for excessive data use under TOS. It is hard to prove you are using your phone as a modem without a tethering plan so they cancel you for excessive data use. Reading between the lines means don't be a data hog.
