I was wondering if anyone tested it on the droid 3 I need to know if it works properly
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
I tried to fit my droid 3 into my friend's atrix keyboard, but it didn't fit. The ports are backwards so the phone would be flipped around from what the atrix would be. BUT!!!
With some modifications to the dock area I think it could be done, it literally was a few MM of extra plastic that was getting in the way. A dremel tool would probably do the trick.
If you are talking about the Motorola wireless bluetooth keyboard it will work on the Droid 3 according to Motorola's website:
http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/U...-Wireless-Keyboard-US-EN.productCompatibility
Not sure if that means this keyboard will work on all Android devices or if Motorola includes software drivers on its phones amongst the bloat.

Try the bionic one?
Anyone using a bluetooth keyboard with the Droid 3?
I use the Xoom but on my wife's d3 all the time.

I use an Atrix keyboard
There is another thread on this topic going as well. here my most resent post:
I received my Atrix dock and really like it so far. I had to do quite a bit of trimming on the plastic dock to make the D3 sit properly and make a reliable connection. It works well and I really like it. Played with it for about a day now, Netflix is nice on bigger screen,texting is good, Angry Birds is good. I also like that it charges the phone battery.
All in all it took about an hour of plastic trimming and test fitting. I added one item as peace of mind for myself. Once the phone is docked I have a black Velcro cable tie a wrap around the phone and dock connector so I can move and not be to worried about the phone falling or the connectors being subjected to more stress than needed.
Wrong thread, this is about a bluetooth keyboard not the lapdock. There is a separate thread talking about the lapdock.
No problem
The second post references the lapdock so the thread is kind of mixed it would seem.
Oh, I didn't see that one post, just wanted to let you know we have a thread that talks a lot about the lapdock.
Hi
Has anyone seen an official Car dock for the Razr i ?
I found a Razr M dock on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Vehi..._11?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1350308561&sr=1-11
It should be fully compatible with the Razr i, but not shipped outside US.
I Hope Motorola will sell the same here for our Razr i. I own a Defy + the official car dock and love the quality of it. Will buy a Motorola one for the Razr i without any hesitation
I answer to myself.
For those who are interested by a good car mount, the Razr M official fit 100% with Razr i.. as expected.
I ordered one on Ebay, got it today.
Can be used even with a case (3 sizes: without case, with a fine one, or with a large one)
Only thing that bother me: no car dock detection. SmartAction or Tasker doesn't detects the dock. Maybe it's not activate on this early rom we have, as Motorola doesn't sell on official dock for the Razr i.
Now I use a Tasker profil launched by a shortcut, but I wait for some NFC tag I ordered to do this
Motorola has said it won't be making a car dock (but I suspected that M one would work). Whyever not? The RAZR i is shipping in many markets and Intel is keen to promote it. It has fairly good distribution too.
It's as odd as Asus/Google deciding not to release the dock for the Nexus 7; a tablet selling by the truck load and winning awards left, right and centre - with new life thanks to more storage and 3G variants!
Sometimes I do wonder about the sanity of those in charge!

Oh yeah... 100% with you...
I don't get what your problem is, if the Razr M dock fits perfectly, why don't you just get this one?
A possible Razr I dock would be just the same anyway.
They're not exactly freely available here (UK) though and how many will Motorola sell, given the official UK line is there is no dock for the phone?
I bet loads of people will import one at great cost and fear no support if they have problems (Moto UK saying it's not designed to work with it).
The RAZR i is Motorola's best chance all year of getting back into the game and the lack of accessories seems rather dumb to me.
The Razr M car dock is available on ebay and ships worldwide.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OEM-MOTOR...ccessories&hash=item257664e30d#ht_5310wt_1271
It's quite expensive though..
I might try that but I am sure most wouldn't. If it failed, would Motorola UK/EMEA honour the warranty?

When you dock the phone it should be detected, and be able to launch car mode (with smart action, or tasker).
With a razr m it's working, I asked on the razr m section... Not with the I.
So what think about this: maybe it's just a software issue, Motorola hasn't activate the sensor on the I
But, maybe there's no sensor on the I and it would never work as it should.
But there's a workaround by using nfc
Just sad to see there's some decision made that are out of sens: why not selling a car dock for the I when there's one 100% identical for the m?
I use Smart Actions to trigger vehicle mode when it connects to my car kit.
You can do this, but there's a flaw
Smart action will only bring up car app, but not set "car mode" on.
Explanation : when car mode is ON, when you hit the home button you go to the car app. If car mode is not "on", home button act as normal and bring you on the default launcher.. With is not very practical when you drive.
And for me, blutooth is off until I'm docked, I launche the bt, gps, etc while docking the phone.
Yesterday I receive my nfc tag... It's working pretty well with Tasker. (nfc use less battery than bt always on)
Yes that is an issue. I have a few Sony Smart tags so I'll set one of those up instead.
I am sure it will be a simple software issue, but Moto obviously decided early on it wasn't going to make accessories.
Given Google's input (stripping away almost all Moto apps, Webtop, HDMI out) and Google's lack of accessories for the Nexus 7 (I wonder if this will also be the case for the Nexus 4 and 10?) I wonder if there's a theme here?
Brodit
as a long time Brodit (www.brodit.se) user I wondered what to do using their mount in my car.
Actually I used their universal holder part 511230 which fits nicely. Only issue was the USB port was covered on the side so I used my multitool..... see attached pics.

you may wait Brodit release a Razr M/i support.
For sur they'll do it.

Well, I asked them about it but they did not say they would do one....at least this is good enough "for the interim" for me......
Razr i Spot with Auto Vehicle Detected
http://www.razri.com/uk/ (scroll to SmartActions)
Yep
Smartaction has a trigger for car dock, since beginning.
But at this time it doesn't detect the dock.
But there was an update of smartaction recently (via Play store), maybe did they add the support... I'll try it asap.
Motorola support say to me, delete the cardock app cache and test again. Test is fail
The german instructions say, that a shortcuts can be on Homescreen.

I had asked them if they'd be creating a holder for the RAZR i/M shortly after the RAZR i came out, and they stated there were no plans to. Alas, one of the main blocking issues for me for picking up one of these (along with the lack of custom ROM progress.. )
Hello!
I have found a workaround for the Car-Dock app launcher.
Install Car dock home v3 from playStore
Install this app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18557944&postcount=6
Try docking your Razr I in the Car-Dock. It should ask you wich app you want to use. select the Motorola App. And it should start as soon you put your phone into the dock.
Made a video how i tested it. Actually I don't own the dock, but i will get it in a couple of days. There is a magnet in my laptop as you see. Thats how it also worked with my old Milestone 2.

i know the 500 you can't it has drm

Sorry for the late response, but the Bionic and Atrix lapdocks are exactly the same, except for being made to fit either phone. I have just purchased a Bionic lapdock (after having bought a Lapdock 100 which turned on for 8 seconds then turned off) and I'll let you know 100% once it arrives - it could be a week though.

Did you ever get it as an external?
My bionic lapdock works as an HDMI display with the right adapters. The trackpad and keyboard work with my pc and a raspberry pi my friend had. I tested it out on my Xbox 360. Castle Crashers and Arkham City look amazing on this screen!
The speakers put out surprisingly good sound, almost a surround like experience. If you ever owned a ds lite you'll know what I'm talking about. Which brings me to my issue. When I'm using this with only HDMI, the volume is maxed out. I need a way to install a volume control knob and possibly a headphone jack.
Any suggestions?

I've got a New Potato Tunelink I've been using with my old Verizon Galaxy Nexus successfully for about a year. Since that time I've gone through several ROMs and Android versions, 4.2.1, 4.2.2 and now 4.3. Bluetooth audio always worked fine with Pandora, Google Music and Pocket Casts.
I got a Verizon Moto X yesterday and while I can pair it with the Tunelink and it plays, music skips, stutters and is unlistenable. Voices sound worse, they're low or deep and also skip and stutter.
I've Googled and found lots of "bluetooth stuttering" threads all over (like this one) but none of the things I've tried have improved the audio. I've turned off wifi, changed wifi settings, tried it with and without the battery saver turned on. I took it out of the box and set it up yesterday, I doubt a factory reset would do anything for me.
I can plug in the stereo minijack and it sounds fine but the Tunelink was supposed to stop the inconvenience of that and did, until the Moto X.
Any ideas? Anyone experiencing the same issue?
I've been using J3 Bluetooth headphones and the moto x has been performing better than my GS4 did. I can put the phone down at my gym and walk 30 feet away and it doesn't skip or degrade.
I don't think it's the phone.
Have you tries re-pairing?

Yes, re-paired several times. If I go back to the Galaxy Nexus it sounds fine.

Just to be clear, I have the Verizon variant of Moto X also. Have you considered trying a replacement Moto x?
Also, the Moto X is bluetooth 4.0 and the Galaxy Nexus is 3.0. Could it be that your headset doesn't play nice with 4.0?

I haven't considered a replacement yet, the fact the stores don't have them is a factor.
Good point about 3.0/4.0, the specs on the Tunelink don't specify, I'll contact them.

Yeah - no problem here as well... Do you have another blu tooth device you can try with?

I have my Galaxy Nexus which works fine.
I ordered this and it should be here today to test out.
I have the same issue with a Motorola Roadster 2. Static is pretty bad when on the phone with other people.
The Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kit arrived yesterday and works great. It seems to be the X with the Tunelink. I actually like the Kinivo better as it also allows phone calls and the remote/mic allows me to start/stop music and podcasts.
I also have a Tunelink and am having the same stuttering issue with the audio. Works great with my Nexus 4. Not so much with the Moto X.
+1 for the diagnosis of the Tunelink not playing nice with bluetooth 4.0
I also am experiencing issues with my Moto X and bluetooth. Something tells me it is due to the custom bluetooth 4.0 implementation that Motorola used for Android 4.2.2. I figure that the only "real" fix will be waiting for the 4.3 OTA to add official support.
I tried everything under the sun to resolve my issues. I did a factory reset, un-paired and re-paired, tested on multiple devices and even did a RMA with Verizon. I called up Motorola prior to the RMA and told them about the issue and they said that it was a defective unit. I'm planning on calling them again today to let them know they have an actual issue with at the very least the verizon moto x.
As a follow-up, while my new Bluetooth unit does not stutter and sounds great, my phone now consistently reboots itself after pairing but not until I initiate playing something.
Thankfully the phone reboots quickly.
I am going to wait till the first OTA is released and see if it resolves the issue or not.....if it still has the problem then I'll have to try a 3rd RMA.
I have LG stereo headset, jlabs crasher speaker, and an eclipse headunit and i dont' have any issues with playback. Are you just letting things play or are you messing with the device while playing music? I know on both my Moto X (vzw) and GS3 i'd get some stuttering some times if the phone was under some heavy usage.
I'm experiencing stuttering on my VZW Moto X DE with my Tunelink as well. I had stuttering on my GNex on one version of 4.2.x but all other builds worked fine and it got much better when I upgraded to 4.3, so I'm hoping a new Moto X 4.3 rom will fix this...
Add me to the list of people having the stuttering issue with the Moto X (GSM Dev Edition) and the TuneLink Auto BT unit. Frustrating as hell. I hope the KitKat upgrade fixes it.
Bump. Tunelink is stuttering for me too. Must be incompatible. My tune link is wired to the headphone jack (not using FM transmitter). Sucks.

Not tunelink related but when listening to my Moto X in car with my Alpine UTE-42BT I notice a crazy amount of skipping/stuttering. Doesn't mater what music player I use. If I turn the device off and restart it seems to fix it for a brief time.
I created a post here about my issues. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48496071#post48496071
Anyone else having the same problems or have a solution it's driving me insane!?
apologies i forgot about this thread. i bought my TuneLink over two years ago. i emailed them and they are honoring my warranty by sending out a new revision of the device. its one they're currently working on releasing and i've been on a waiting list to get it.
so far i've sent in my current device and they sent me the same revision. i'm still waiting on the new device, which is supposed to take care of all issues. I have a Vizio soundbar at home and i have no stuttering issues. looking forward to the update.
I have a Moto X (love it) and in the market for a bluetooth spreakerphone for the car and curious what expererience or recommendations some would have.
The two I've looked at are the Motorola Roadster 2 and Jabra Freeway.
Thanks for the input.

Did you ever get anything? Motorola is running a sale right now and the Roadster 2 looks nice.
