Does anyone know if you can use the g1 car charger with the Samsung Vibrant? I read that the Samsung vibrant uses mini usb but of course that does not mean it will work properly. Thanks
No, the Vibrant is micro usb, not mini.

Yeah, like it was said, micro usb, but on ebay you can find mini to micro usb converters... I bought 2 for .99 cent a piece shipped and they even transmit data, sadly one has some loose connections but the seller refunded me right away for it.
Other than that I am not sure it's the most efficient (I haven't looked at what the g1 power supply sends amp wise, nor the max the vibrant can take) but it would work, as long as you get the right male end (again, micro usb)
Also, there is a accessories forum that this would have been better suited for.
EDIT: Sorry, I may have spoke too soon. If it was an HTC charger it might not work since only one corner of the male end is cut and the other is straight, that is their proprietary male connector that has extra pins and will not fit in a female mini usb port. Now if it was an aftermarket that was a true mini usb, then you can get a converter... Otherwise you can just get a car charger that has the standard female USB A port and plug in any USB A to Micro cable... Point is, if it is USB you are on the right track.
Hi
I have following questions:
1) How do I use Computer USB Keyboard with Motorola Atrix ?
2) Is it possible to connect Motorola Atrix with Laptop and you can use Laptop Keyboard and Laptop Screen to see and use everything in Atrix without using Motorola Webtop laptop ?
Thanks
In the Atrix Development forum you'll find a hack that allows you to use the Atrix webtop on any monitor/TV with HDMI. Pair a bluetooth mouse and keyboard with your Atrix to use them on the webtop. Works great here, didn't even require root.
Also, if you have a HD multimedia dock, you can plug a USB mouse or keyboard into the available USB ports in the back of the dock. It works well!

what about a wireless keyboard or mouse? like LG unifying receiver

see above post, that's what I am using (I forgot to specify that it was USB wireless), a Logitech (can't remember model number) wireless USB keyboard and mouse. works perfectly, even the volume buttons, etc. on the keyboard.

If you're not using the HD multimedia dock (via the Webtop hack), then no, you can't use them as there are no USB ports you can plug your receiver into. You will have to settle for bluetooth devices.
Callen81 has a video that shows how USB hardware can be connected to the Atrix. It requires soldering two connections, and a powered USB hub, but it can be done.
HDMI mirroring, from what I can understand from your broken English (I'm not hating, but it's true.) is not possible on the Atrix (yet!). You can, however, see the mobile OS from webtop mode in a separate window. And on the laptop, you can plug in USB keyboards and mice to the ports in the back.

actually mirroring was enabled (see dev forum), but it's not as easy. it also will only show portrait mode (no landscape)

Yes, and the point is that it's still got the same, if not worse, performance that it would have on Webtop mode. At least, I think.
If the Atrix can read USB sticks (?) then would plugging a standard USB stick, which has a USB1-typeA-plug on it, require a converter that was a "USB1 Type A recepticle" converting to a "USB2-micro-TypeB-plug?
Would that be the correct nomenclature for the USB adapters, and does anyone know if you can buy that premade, or whether the Atrix absolutely will or won't recognize a USB stick that way?
I'm also looking for some USB2-micro-TypeB-plugs either on or off a wire, to try adding the drop resistor to pin 5 so I can tell the Atrix "You're in a car dock now" or just "you're in a dock now" and force it into the other modes.
I'll probably roll my own car dock, mainly because I want my Atrix (in an Otter Commuter) to be secured in the dock. Really secured, so if I flip and roll and total out the car, the Atrix is still exactly where I left it. The spring-clip jobbies will turn your phone into a missile if someone whacks into you, making calls for help impossible.
Correct me if I am mistaken but the Keyboard docks for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Tab 2 10.1 and Note 10.1 all provide keyboard and charging at the same time (and also audio out).
Well, This proves that charging and USB on the go can be made in a single device.
I was thinking in something a little more bold: integrating a full size USB port inside the tablet itself and a microUSB port just for charging with a conventional Android USB cable as the one that comes with my Galaxy S3 (but using the tablet charger, of course, due to the higher Amps).
I plan to make all the modifications inside the tablet and soldering the to the 30 pin port internally.
It sounds crazy but I think it could be done.
My only concern is about USB syncing with the computer. So I guess I should add a switch somewhere to change from USB host (pendrive, keyboard, etc) to USB slave (syncing with computer).
Also, it would be great too if when set in USB slave mode the added microUSB port could serve as syncing port (yeah, I don't like the docking port. It is good for docking, bad for everything else)
My previous tablet was an Acer Iconia Tab A500. It had plenty of interfacing options: a full size host USB, a syncing microUSB, a round two pins charging connector similar to the old nokia ones (allowing charging and using USB pendrive at the same time) and microHDMI out apart from a docking port and audio jack. The only thing I miss from this tablet is its connectivity
Any ideas, comments, suggestions?
Hi, dear friend!
don't you think it will make difficulties with the Tablet's slim design?
I'm interested in this... if you think you can do it, then I may help you do it...

Indeed. Nobody said it would be easy, but my Acer Iconia A500 had a full size USB port and it was no thicker than the Galaxy. I think it is a matter of finding the appropriate empty space. Of course, maybe there is not such space to allow the project to become true. I will open the tablet this weekend and then we will see.
In the meanwhile, if anybody has good reference of the 30 pin port, resistance values needed to activate USB OTG and HDMI and if it is possible to have both running at the same time, it would be great.
Have you read this thread:

I thought it can make sense to list here alternative options to use the continuum feature. Here is what I use:
- Aukey USB-C to HDMI adapter
- Supremery BT Keyboard within Touchpad
Good to see alternatives are working fine
Monoprice USB-C to HDMI adapter: works for video, but flaky connection. I also don't get any audio output.
Aukey USB-C to VGA adapter: the phone recognizes a USB device is connected, but doesn't work.
Microsoft Display Dock: Works well without issue of course. However, a few comments - it doesn't work without a power connection. It also doesn't like the Google dual-port USB-C charger and refuses to power up from that (despite the Google charger being capable of 5V / 3A just like the Microsoft one).
Works without issues with Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter for Macbook 12 Retina. And does not need necessarily current.
Continuum works great with the "Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter" too, sound and vision go to the TV/Monitor and phone turns into Trackpad. Just like using the dock but less hassle and wires.
I also tried my Roku3, it works but can be a little flaky
It dosn't work with XCSOURCE USB-C 56k ohm to HDMI /USB 3.1 Multiport Adapter for MacBook LT11

USB port works great...flash drive and keyboard works smooth...BUT HDMI dosn't work at all
Everytime when HDMI cable is inserted phone throw an error with dosn't recognized USB...
Hello,
I also bought the Aukey -C USB to HDMI adapter.
But on 2 Samsung tv , I have problems of disconnection and resolution.
If anyone can help me ....
Thank you in advance
i bought vtin vs1-vvc9h from amazon. Video works.. But i could not make audio to work.
I also bought vicTsing mx-vs1-PCL005B from amazon too. And video worked but audio did not.
I know audio works on ms hd500 with same monitor and cables
The Microsoft wireless Display adaptor v2 works well in continuum mode unless you use 5GHz wifi, in which case it is extremely poor, sound and display stutters like there is no tomorrow.
My Surface pro 2 (normal extended display) has the same issues connecting to it with 5GHz wifi used.
So in short, connect to your internet with a 2.4GHz wifi AP if you intend to use The Microsoft wireless Display adaptor.
I'm quite tempted to get the dock now as one of my office PCs is about to have a catastrophic HHD fail and continuum will kill several birds with a single stone.

Some people on reddit used this and it worked. Can someone confirm?
I have a LG 42LA660s Smart TV, with Miracast enabled. I just connected my phone to a wireless display, and the Continuum works. It is not flawless but I am satisfied with it.

With the coming of the new Macbook with USB-C, there are now quite a few new and cost effective alternatives on the market. I recently bought an unbranded dongle/dock thing which is advertised as to be used with the new Macbooks. It has a USB-C connector on one end, with a USB-A port, HDMI-out port, and USB-C charging port on the other. Works really well, got it for about 1100 INR / 17.50 USD
My display dock HD 500 with a lumia 950 does only view 720p on my full HD TV. Is there any chance to force 1080p output?
I'm gonna check this tomorrow on work where mine Lumia950 and HD500 are and a Dell 24" FHD screen.
Works fine with my Surface Go tablet and LG FHD 55" television. Surface Go with USB-C kabel and LG-tv with HDMI.
And also my Lumia950 works with it on my LG-tv or at work on HP 24".
I would like to share with you my setup which is like a dream come true. I have always imagined that one day I'll have single device that I will use throughout the whole day and now it finally is possible.
I bought an opened box HP Elite X3 Lap Dock of Ebay for 230 AUD in a pristine condition for my Galaxy Note 10+ (European, Exynos). Affter I have received it I had some trouble to connect my phone to the Lap Dock - the original HP cable was missing and the one from Samsung did not work. I finally figured it out - It has to be a USB C cable that will allow video transmission, quick data and power transfer - to sum up it has to be at least USB 3.1 Gen 1 that provides 5 Gb/s, 5V, 3A (Gen 2 provides 10 Gb/s). I bought https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01GGKYT7M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 and viola it works!
It is almost a perfect solution - I have been able to switch from Windows laptop instantly, I have prepared a whole lecture with PowerPoint on this setup, I use it from time to time for gaming (love the PSP games and bluetooth controller). All is extremely compact, premium made and useful. The whole set combines: Galaxy Note 10+, HP Elite X3 Lap Dock, Amazon USB C cable, 8Bitdo, Samsung 45Watt Charger, and couple of extras like additional HDMI cable with micro HDMI adapter, USB C to A cable, USB C hub with HDMI, 2 x USB and USB C sockets and foldable bluetooth keyboard with touchpad. All of these fit well in a 11 inch Apple Macbook Air neoprene bag
Connecting the HP Lapdock to the TV with HDMI (using HDMI to Micro-HDMI adapter) and then connecting phone wirelessly with it allows to display on TVs without Miracast.
In order to get regular size font while using DEX I am utilizing MacroDroid macros: Receive Notification DEX App - Change system font to 1.2 and Remove Notification DEX App - Change system font to 0.8 (my default)
The known issues are:
1. Lap Docks speakers does not work - I had to change in settings of DEX and in Developer Settings not to route sound via USB and now when connected sound is played from the phone
2. Touchpad buttons are not recognized - it works perfect other than that (gestures, zooming, scrolling, two fingers for right button)
UPDATE
Audio via lapdock speakers works! - in order to make it work just plug in the phone to the lapdock without turning it on and then turn it on by holding battery button and power button simultaneously for 10 seconds until it boots. When its on in volume panel chose play via display device and enjoy B&O sound.
There is a bad news too - after updating to Android 10 the touchpad is practically unusable - they have change the way it operates and now it moves incredibly fast up and down an extremely slow from left to right - the only option is to use the phone as touchpad which luckily is very good.

Updated, matured setup:
I can't get my Aussie exynos to work unfortunately.
You have to turn of lapdock first, give it a 10 sec after it has booted than connect it with a usb c 3.1 gen 2 cable (a short one, cables longer than 1 meter seems mot to work) and it should be fine. I am using a 50 cm UGreen cable, sometimes it is required to hard reset the lapdock when it does not pair properly by holding the power button for 10 sec.
An Update:
Finally audio via lapdock speakers works - in order to make it work just plug in the phone to the lapdock without turning it on and then turn it on by holding battery button and power button simultaneously for 10 seconds until it boots. When its on in volume panel chose play via display device and enjoy B&O sound.
There is a bad news too - after updating to Android 10 the touchpad is practically unusable - they have change the way it operates and now it moves incredibly fast up and down an extremely slow from left to right - the only option is to use the phone as touchpad which luckily is very good.
Maybe we can send a request to Samsung to fix the problem with the touchpad because we are many users with it.
Anyone with the tab s (5e or 6). Can check if having same problem?
Thanks
Can you please check underneath your Lap Dock what the model number is?
E.g. V8H07UT#ABA or Y1M47EA#ABH, etc.
I am having the latter also with a European Exynos Note 10+ and I can't it to fully connect (no display).
Thanks!
I bought the HP Lap Dock V8H07UT#ABA for my Note 10+ Exynos (Portugal) and was never able to have it work. I bought many different cables but didn't change a thing. The same cables used to connect my Tab S4 (Snapdragon) to the HP Lap Dock worked flawlessly.
So you are very lucky to have a working setup!
Ok, I got seriously lucky.
Found the mainboard of the V8H07UT#ABA online, and it arrived today.
Replaced the mainboard of my Y1M47EA#ABH with it, and I now have a working Lap Dock with my European Exynos Note 10+. Happy camper here!

What kind of USB-C cable are you using? The one that comes with the Lap Dock or another brand? Is Developer Mode enabled ? Thanks.
Currently I am using a cable from Ugreen witch has a proper length and is very well made https://m.pl.aliexpress.com/item/32...detail&spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.307e3c00rTzEtg&mp=1
It also fits in nicely with a magnetic usb c adapter that I have attached to my lapdock https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32985884761.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4dZXuZyS
Just now I have found one strange thing - I have change the cable I used with and older one which was working fine and now it did not - what did fix this issue was switching the ends of the cable the end that was going into lapdock went to phone and vice versa. I know it should not make any difference since these cables are reversible but it did mabye that will help somebody.
Well, now we got wireless dex!
Upgraded set, now based on Nexdock Touch - https://www.reddit.com/r/SamsungDex/comments/jp7940/my_perfect_mobile_dex_setup_completed/
I am trying to make the Lapdock work with LG V30 - wirelessly I have succeded to make connection as a secondary screen - so the phone screen is projected to the lapdock.
Now I want to be able to use the keyboard and touch pad: I use a ugreen PD100W cable and I can get the notification on the phone that external kb, mouse and sound is detected. no image goes to the lapdock screen. Sound does though on both LG and HP elite x3.
I think the cable might be to blame...
I tried then to connect wirelessly - I can get the image on the lapdock, the kb even works, but I cannot open apps, no mouse is detected (touchpad does not work) Sound too.
Do I need a cable that says 4k on it?
lapdock 1 P/N - Y4T07AA£ABA
lapdock 2 P/N - Y1M47EA£ABU
I bought one then another hoping to make it work, but they have similar behauviour - when connectd via cable, the screen go dark blank, but I can see that it actually works, just a black picture is displayed
Also, anyone knows what is the difference between lapdock models above?
