Eluga Power - Defy General

In case you didn`t follow the MWC 2012 news lately:
Panasonic enters the european Market with its waterproof Eluga Family.
Especially interesting is the Eluga Power: Just about as big as the Samsung Galaxy but with a .4inch bigger screen, a faster Cortex A15 Dual Core Processor and a really nice design.
But see for yourself:

I just hope they add HDMI via MHL (Micro usb) to the Eluga Power.

Motorola Atrix Lapdock with Odroid U2

Hi, I don't personally own a atrix, but I have ordered a lap dock in the hopes of making a laptop with the Odroid U2 board. However, the U2 requires 5v 2A to power it. I was wondering how I could draw 2A from the lapdock.

I own an imito MX2 tv stick and it also needs 5V-2A power supply. And i get that from lapdocks USB port only issue i had was with the cheapo USB cable that came with device... i used one of the better once i already had and it works no problem
So I guess it should be hassle free for you too... just make sure you use a good cable
Any updates on this? I have an atrix dock i bought for modding but haven't touched yet. This u2 looks amazing.
On a side note it makes you question the price and size of desktops. For $180 imagine 2 of these were combined, 8core, 4gb ram....

Really glad someone replied to this thread.
First off, I did some digging around the hardkernel forums and found out that you could indeed power the U2 off the lapdock micro-usb just fine.
Second, in reply to 96shox, the new Samsung S4 is rumoured to have a eight-core processor and I believe the future generations of the U2/X2 will use something like that and probably with 4gb RAM. So it may be a good idea to wait a while if you can

You are using the micro-usb on the lapdock right?
Lapdock Help needed
Got Lapdock for 70~ dollars from ebay 2 weeks back. After reading so many blogs and viewing youtube videos, I thought my Raspberry Pi model B could be put for good use along with some of the awesome hacks I found on this site. BTW i also have a nexus one and recently a nexus 4. So naturally all this holds a place in the Lapdock realm of things to be connected to. My question is I have got the following wires after a lot of thought, could some one here tell me if this will work:
1. Raspberry Pi Model B
2. Lapdock Atrix 4G
3. Micro HDMI female -> HDMI Female Coupler as found here cgi <dot> ebay <dot> com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140943218129
4.Micro USB female to Micro USB Male Charger cable from Ebay
5. HDMI Male to Male coupler.
6. HDMI Male to Male extension Cable 3 feet
Idea is
1. Using Raspberry pi Connect #3 item above and #4 item to Lapdock. Then #5 sits on #3 and to #5 I connect the Rasp Pi. For power and control #4 to RaspPi. Will this work?
2. Laptop second monitor. Using #3 and #6 connect HDMI Male to Laptop and use.
3. Using Nexus 4: Need to buy either a Miracast receiver or a Slimport and hope it works. (Do I need to root the phone, if yes what is the ROM preferred?)
4. Using Nexus One: Not yet figured a way but as of now will not work.
5. For PS3 : Same way using #3 and #6.
I got the wires and plugs today. Sadly the #1 above does not work
I plugged in the Micro HDMI female -> HDMI Female Coupler to lapdock and then HDMI Male to Male extension Cable 3 feet to Raspberry Pi and powered Rasp PI with all possible means (Power from mains as well). Sadly when I opened up the lapdock nothing really happened. Blank Screen!!! I even ensured that the Lapdock is fully charged. If I press that little button below the opening slot it shows 5 tiny white LED's . But does this not have any kind of Power ON button. I opened the screen and try to use the USB at the back as a power source for my Raspberry Pi, sadly that too did not power ON.
Is the Lapdock DOA?? Better not be as I got in Ebay and dont know how to deal with it OR is Part #3 the culprit.
Any way to check if the Lapdock is dead with what I have before I order another round of wires. FML, all the enthusiasm went down with this.
Help please.
you can try with android tv stick

My Odroid U2 + Lapdock
Hi,
I know this is a late reply...
I just got my odroid U2 + lapdock project working last night so I figured I'd share the result. I used the bionic lapdock btw.
I'ts completely mobile. I was able to power the odroid off of one of the lapdock USB ports. The other USB port has a 4 port hub attached that contains the wifi and bluetooth adapter. The micro usb is connected the one of the USB ports on the odroid and has the power wire disconnected. It works in connecting all USB ports and the keyboard/mouse pad from the lapdock. The HDMI works for both the video and audio and is running at 720p.
I installed linaro 12.11 and all updates, including mali drivers, onto the odroid U2.
The only disadvantage is that the lapdock USB ports only supply power when the screen is opened so if you close the screen the power to the board is cut. Besides that it's running flawlessly!
Also, I used an old Nintendo 64 power supply for the "case", the odroid fan is mounted on top. I don't recommend it because it took a lot of modding to make it work. I removed the heat sink that comes with the odroid and put small copper heat sinks onto the chips which works great and doesn't overheat.
So I'm attaching the pics, most important part lol. By the way it's ugly.

I've been thinking about doing something like this for a while! I'll PM you later on my ideas for this. Thanks for taking the plunge first my man!
does this run in native resolution? Does the U2 alow you to run 1366x768?
Yup

Yes it runs in 1366x768. The lapdock is 720p but thats it. I'm pretty sure it won't run in a higher resolution image.

Exactly what was on my mind. Though I am expecting newer versions of U2 by the end of 2013 or start 2014, which would sport new exynos 5. Lets hope for the best.

10.1" Atom convertible pogo keyboard w/ USB needed

Hi,
I don't even know into what subforum to write this.
I have a 10.1" windows 8/10 tablet based on Atom Z3735F. It has a detachable keyboard with trackpad. The only USB-host port is a micro-USB socket on the tablet itself - and I've destroyed it. There's no way to repair it since it goes directly into the SoC.
Fortunately, the keyboard 'cover' uses a 5-pin pogo USB connector that I've mapped to be: 5V D- D+ 3.3V (pulldown) GND. The keyboard itself has a black blob that is likely a USB composite device with SPI for touchpad and de/multiplexer for the keyboard. This port still works fine.
My idea was to install a very thin usb hub that exposes the keyboard+touch USB chip as well as provides an external USB port. However this might prove too much work and I'm not sure I can find a hub so thin. Before I embark onto that project perhaps there is something that I can buy.
Mine looks like this: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/2016-new-design-colorful-12-2_60418366799.html - but in black and for 10" tablet.
It measures 256mm (10") wide x 177mm (7") depth, 60mm (2.35") between the magnets at the top.
I need something similar, it might be a bit larger or smaller, height does not matter much, the position of the magnets (raised plastic pieces) should be the same, should be tiltable (not fixed angle and not foldable/leather) and have a USB host port (can also be microUSB). Nice if it's black.
It should not be too expensive (i.e. <40$), orderable in quantities of one (alibaba requires >500).
Here's one for 10" : https://wholesaler.alibaba.com/product-detail/10-1-inch-pogo-pin-docking_60351580070.html
If it has a backlight that would be a dream come true, I doubt such a keyboard even exists, I would pay 100$+ for that.
Anyway, perhaps you have similar keyboards on your tablets and can tell me the model so I can look up a replacement.
Edit:
The Chuwi HI10 keyboard looks very similar, but I don't know the pinout, the space between the magnets and it's a bit expensive: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For...Shaft-With-Pogo-Pin-Magnetic/32763536354.html
Teclast Tbook 16 might be the same.
Cube iWork 10
Onda obook 20 keyboard looks almost identical to mine

Actually I returned it to the Windows store ... I liked the interface - but I didn't really like the limited nature of the apps that are available for it ... really it is too bad - you would think that Microsoft would learn from their mistakes (a la windows RT and CE) ..
The desktop interface without the ability to truly multitask is really, really limiting. So it ended up a bit of a frustrating experience. Oh well - I have moved on .... I currently have the Essential PH-1 ... :laugh:

The MS Display Dock would work for a USB C device. But, if you don't need KB or mouse, then any device with Wn10 on it will cast. Even an 830 will cast to my TCL Roku tv.
For the HP Elite x3, besides the official dock, I bought an O-shaped USB-C dongle from a brand called Baseus. Doesn't work all the time, especially from power-on/restart; but when it does, it works great. Comes with a Type-C port with PD too, so virtually no port lost.
At the time I bought it, I requested to the store clerk that I would like to test it with my device. Then I did my "magic trick", and she was in awe.
