I updated my ATT Atrix HD (on Bell) to 4.1.1 OTA.
found out the hard way we lost the HDMI mirroring to the lapdock screen.
it works fine mirroring to my LCD TV but not when plugged in the lapdock (even with just the hdmi port plugged in)
it goes in a kind of 1280 x 540 mode screwing up the screen.
Was ok on ICS, still fine on my 2 LCD tvs but not on the lapdock.
Its a problem with all JB androids... I'm selling mine now as theres no way to go back...
Still the RAZR HD can go back to ICS from JB but as of yet not the Atrix HD... makes me wonder if there is a way after all.
Wait so I can not use HDMI to my HDTV anymore?

it worked on 3 LCD TVs at home/cottage but the lapdock cannot deal with the hdmi signal JellyBean put out on the hdmi connector.
... or as HDMI ports are bi-directional, JellyBean detect the Motorola Lapdocks and mess with the output resolution on purpose (any other HDMI capable device will play nicely with a lapdock screen... as was the Atrix HD with ICS.)

the RAZR guys also had the issue with the lapdock

I made a factory reset from the boot recovery menu, cleared the cache partition from the same menu... Still got the letter boxed screen on the lapdock.
I noticed that on the YouTube app, it now has a screen icon at the top of the video window for HDMI output but, I dunno bout videos on the device or SD card.

I asked for USB mass storage mode like on ICS and a way to make the HDMI mirroring resolution ok on a lapdock... or a way to downgrade to ICS...
Motorola Support said:
Thanks for reaching out to Motorola. I have reviewed your e-mail, and I am ready to help. I apologize for the delay and any inconveniences you're experiencing. The ATRIX HD does not support Linux computer, and Webtop or Lapdock. If you connect the phone to a lapdock it will display like Mirror mode. Unfortunately, we're unable to resolve the issue with the screen resolution when connect ATRIX phone via HDMI , this may be fixed in an software update release in the future.

I had the oportunity to try Ladpock 100 with Atrix HD and I had the same problem - screen of Lapdock has letterboxes. But it's not as bad as missing sound ...does somebody know how to get it working?
Thanks in advance.

All of us with Lapdocks have been looking into that for a while now. There's some tricks that can be done with 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 to get the screen working (see the last few posts/pages under the lapdock topic under our Original Development for them), but nothing since 4.2+ has worked for any amount of time stable (best I've had with 4.2+ is about 3 mins with 4.4 Carbon a couple of weeks ago and nothing since).

I was wondering if any one has tried modifying the webtop portal and dock files to allow it to show on screen when HDMI is connected, like the Atrix and Bionic? I didn't see anything online about it, but I think this would be cool if someone was working on it.
Have you tried NebTop?
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...op-universal-hdmi-webtop-hack-working-d4.html
Apparently, I didn't do enough research, because that's the exact thing I was talking about. Thanks
This is exactly what I was looking for. Paid the $4.12 to support the developer. It was a much better deal as opposed to going out to buying the dock for $50 or the docking station for $100.

I had resolution issues, but a phone reset got it to work again.... Works pretty good now. The Dev does actually answer emails too which is nice.
I have a travel adapter that enables webtop yet I have no control of the cursor... I'm on stock no root... first time it launched touch screen was a touch pad with L and R buttons for clicking... now I can't get it to launch with the touch pad feature.... any ideas I've force reboot and FR... can't get safe mode to enable...

This is beyond just the bionic but this is the phone I have. This app won't install on certain android phones because it says it doesn't support the phones resolution. I can change the resolution via LCD density but can't figure it out.
I know the developer (LEGO) needs to fix it - but, I figured I'd see if anyone here got it to work.
Thanks

I realise this is very old, but if anyone is searching for this in future, the APK for Life of George can be downloaded and manually installed from here: http://upapk.com/9212
It's an older version but works fine on my Moto Defy (MB525) and my Moto Razr HD (XT925), neither of which are supported devices. If the download link doesn't work, PM me and I can hook you up...

There won't be an official JB for the 8.9. Actually, we're still waiting for ICS to deploy (the 3g version is yet to recieve official).

Depends what you want to do on the tablet... I find its only shortcomings are patchy playback of 1080p videos (720p seems ok but some video players are better than others).
(I'm running an ICS ROM which works perfectly).
I am loving ICS and all the tasty ROMs that are out there, but despite quite a bit of searching i have been unable to find a working way to get webtop on ICS with just my HDMI cable. Has anyone found a hack for this? Thanks in advance for any pointers!
Webtop development has been stopped/dropped lapdock or not.
Dropped when?
I had heard something to that affect also. I was hoping that that was just temporary and that that was just for the newer motorola phones for now.Or at least that was what i thought i had read. I know there was a lot of forum talk about a half year ago about webtop when bionic owners still had gingerbread, and i even saw a few people claiming to have webtop on the ICS leak before it was officially released. I never gave it a go though, one i didnt want the leak, two i was hoping to utilize webtop once ICS came out....Does anyone have more information?
Eclipse rom 1.2 when you plug in hdmi it give you the option of screen mirror or webtop it works great never had a problem hope this helps

I installed Webtop without lapdoc (from one of the threads I found in here a few days ago) into my Icarus ROM and it works fine. I think I had to turn the TV on before I plugged in the HDMI cable. I can't check that right now, but I think that was needed.
Can you please give the link of the "Webtop without lapdoc"? R u on Icarus ROM by safestrap from a stock 6.7.246, or a single Icarus ROM?
Have you ever tried if the "Webtop without lapdoc" works on stock 6.7.246?
Many thanks!

I'm considering upgrading from the OG Atrix to the Atrix HD but I need to have a working lapdock for work. I use citrix to access my work computer and am worried about the up-scaling issues. (or if the dock will be recognized) I saw that the Atrix HD worked with ICS but there was some conflicting posts about the official JB update. Any information would be great. Thanks.

Just tried it, same thing as the ahd rom... JB doesnt stretch the picture properly. Different in CM10, it just wont turn landscape whatever you do, even if you force it, it will show landscape in portrait mode.
You guys wont believe what I found... its actually an android-wide issue, Google has royally f***ed up all HDMI screen detection and stretching other than 720p and 1080p in JB, I'm not that smart to say if its a configuration or kernel issue though.

Question - there is the Mexican retail stock ROM on the development forum that is 4.1.2, is there a possiblity that it will work properly? Is it worth $25 to find out? I only ask because there is a garage sale page out on Facebook that my wife subscribes to and someone is getting rid of a mint condition unit.
No it doesn't work.
But yes, you can go back to 4.0 and it will work there.
Should we assume moto isn't going to fix the issue?
Maybe in their next phone if it has hdmi out, but even thats a stretch.

i have a lapdock for the ATRIX 4G modded to work with ATRIX 2, after i got the Atrix HD it still works with it... with Stock 4.1 BUT the celphone screen stays ON it doesnt work like with the old ATRIX 2 where i could set it to show screen in the laptdock only saving the phone from overheating... Anyone knows a way to make the Phone to poweroff screen while leaving lapdock on?, The other issue i have is with the resolution it seems the default table mode in the ATT 4.1.x is with a resolution smaller than 720p and it isnt filling my screen well.

1, You need to go back to android 4.0 for the screen to not stretch.
2, Delete the updater apk so it doesn't nag you go back.
3, Screen standby app on xda is free.

I was searching the updater.apk path to rename it and i found this:
cbrunner said:
Yes, you're right. That was dumb on my part.
My phone just did this again. The only thing I changed in this situation was the renaming of Updater.apk. So, either my device is defective or renaming Updater.apk somehow kills the phone eventually, but not immediately after you rename it. Just FYI in case anyone else thought about doing this.

Now im kind of scared to remove it i know that phone was HTC not Motorola but... And both UPDATE and APK seem to be the most famous words in this forum hehehe im getting lots of results with no real path.
I did it for a friend and he said the update nag didnt dissapear. Its not the updater apk the name is somthing else or maybe he just needed a restart. If you find out the exact name, write it here.

the answer is NO on Bell or AT&T 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 still low resolution with black bars on top and bottom.
