Hey does any one is using your evo to stream music using the bluetooth pair ?
I want to buy a car stereo that have usb and bluetooth ready to stream music from my evo.
I have seen a couple of videos on youtube they have blootooth but no usb I want to have both options
any suggestion it will be appreciate.
I have a Alpine w505 and I use bluetooth streaming but not sure if you can connect to a cable usb. The phone contacts and call logs even transfer.

this is the stereo i'm waiting for
I have the Kenwood DNX9960 and it works well. I use it for streaming and hands free calling. It has USB and I can play all media from my EVO as a USB drive (except for the videos shot from the camera, doh!).
JVC Arsenal KD-A815
$179.99 + free wiring harness to fit your vehicle. Works great, has USB and Bluetooth

But I use Belkin's bluetooth receiver.. http://www.google.com/products/cata...ult&ct=result&resnum=4&sqi=2&ved=0CDAQ8wIwAw#
I just got a nokia car charger for it to hardwire it behind my dash and hooked it up to my aux input on my alpine. Works flawless

Care to provide details on the charger used? Does it stay paired/charged long enough to hide it out of sight completely and have it automatically work when I turn the car on and hit play on PowerAmp?

I just went to walmart and found an old nokia charger that has the same plug size as the belkin (had to pick it out with the belkin in hand, was kind of an "i hope this fits" purchase). Got it home, plugged it into the cig lighter, got power and everything worked fine so I hardwired it to the headunits remote power wire (the blue one for amplifiers) and have everything tucked nicely behind the dash. It turns on automatically with the radio, so all you have to do is turn on bluetooth on your phone to pair it and your good to go!

Nice!! I'm still factory stock with a ghetto rigged aux in to my cd changer, so this might not work for my situation since I dont really have any amps hooked up to trigger power.

You can tap the charger into any 12v power source in the car, the amp wire was just the easiest for my situation. There are ignition wires you can tap into, or even find the power wire for the stock radio. Just grab a volt meter and start testing around, you'll find something. You can even tap into the cigarette lighter wires if you need to.
EDIT: Just copied the how-to I typed up a while ago on my car forum to a new thread here in the evo forums so more people can see this.

Eclipse CD5030, if you can find one. Works like a charm.
Sony MEXBT
By far the best sound over BT.
Thanks guys i have a lot of homework to do then. what do u guys think of the DEH‑P610BT
I have this: http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs...10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665755310 . Bluetooth streaming works great, comes with an external mic you can mount on your visor for calls, can connect to like 10 devices and has an internal phonebook you can transfer contacts into so you can call from the deck. I just get in my car and it's connected, press play on either the deck or the phone and it starts playing(if I'm using bluetooth audio as the source on the deck of course.) It also works amazingly with my iPod, supports just about every function you can think of with good navigation and even has a mode where you can restore control of the music to the iPod itself in case you want to hand it to someone who doesn't want to figure out the deck's controls. You just plug it into the front with a standard usb port and it works.
I think there's also a cheaper version that has a smaller screen with less info, but otherwise nearly the same functionality. I know Sony has some other ones now too that can actually hold an iPod within the deck itself now too. I don't think they have a cd player though.
Unless you guys are running Cyanogen, doesn't the BT sound like crap with the low bitpool? I've played with a few A2DP devices with the Evo (headsets mostly), and the sound was un-listenable. Distorted, compressed, and very lo-fi. It was much better with CM, but I like Sense.
I order this model Clarion CZ500
I decided to give a shot to this model Clarion CZ500 after many days of searching and reading reviews of a lot of car stereos.
The Clarion CZ500 it seems very stable and have what I am looking for it.
I will let you guys know how everything goes.
Sony XAV-70BT
Just got it from sonicelectronix
for 400. Sweet system. No nav but everything the 1000$ model has.
Nice sounding streaming too!!
Depends on if you want double din or single as well. Jeep for me so double din.

I just installed the Clarion CX609 (double din) from SonicElectrolux. It sounds great, I couldn't be happier. Comes with a mic that you can put wherever you like.
I have a model EXTREMELY similar to this:
Sony Xplod MEX-BT3800U
and I LOVE it. The only one thing I don't like is that it's VERY bright, but I drive at night so that makes a bigger difference to me than others.
I just installed a DUAL XHD7714. $120 at best buy. It has every feature I would like. Bluetooth, HD, front USB and Aux inputs. I'm pretty happy with it.
Looked around to find more info but couldn't find quite what I was looking for. First off, I wanted to confirm that any bluetooth keyboard/mouse should be compatible with the Atrix. Second, (assuming the first was correct...) I wanted to hear if people have tried other keyboards/mice with the Atrix. I'm assuming that the android related keys found on the official motorola keyboard are still available on normal keyboards, just labeled differently?
Thanks in advance!
Do we really need bluetooth? What about a usb hub and wireless kb / mouse? I don't own a bluetooth kb and mouse so dropping $100 on these is almost pointless. Anyone try this method yet:
micro usb ----> usb adapter ----> usb hub -------> usb kb /usb mouse
Either way... basically just trying to find other options for the webtop. I looked around and found out that I was mistaken about the pricing on bluetooth keyboards and mice. Apparently the Motorola keyboard/mouse aren't too ridiculously priced compared to other bluetooth options. I still feel like I could justify a regular keyboard more because I could still use it for a computer or something. Can't help but feel the moto keyboard would go unused aside from the atrix.
I'm one adapter short of testing the hub idea, I'll let you know sometime this week if it works. Right now I'm just using it with the virtual trackpad/kb...
If anyone wants to try this here is a USB gender changer that should allow you to plug a hub into the phone (for a usb keyboard/mouse) using the included micro usb cord. even tough its ~$3.00 I dont care about webtop enough to try it.

Just tried my razer Orochi blue tooft mouse when docked in the laptop dock and it paired right up and works perfect
So if this mouse works i would think any one will work.
Apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse work, if that's the way you roll. The media buttons on the keyboard will even fire up the music player on the phone. Brightness buttons don't do anything though.
It looks like the Atrix's own bluetooth keyboard is quite nice quality and very compact. does anyone have it that can give us a little review of it? I wouldn't mind using it as my main keyboard for my desktop.
Does anyone have the apple BT keyboard running on a windows 7 system? does it work well?
Logitech DiNovo Edge successfully paired with Atrix
I successfully paired my Logitech DiNovo Edge keyboard with my Atrix today and hooked the phone up to my TV via HDMI. Worked perfectly. Loved having the connection mod without needing a dock. Was able to do a lot from the couch
The DiNovo Edge has a built in mouse pad and is very sturdy and high quality. One of my all time favorite keyboard/mouse combo's.
Hope this helps.
I had actually looked at the edge in the past... seems like it would be a good pairing for the Atrix. Might have to give that a try. I just need to justify the cost to myself.

If you don't mind the size it's, imho, perfect. I have a few other BT keyboards I'm going to try to pair when I get time...if I get a chance I'll report back.
Where can you buy the Motorola keyboard?

That's not the right adapter at all... you need a female A -> male micro for one device, or however you want to then convert the other side. I'm waiting on that part then mine goes from that to a mini usb into my hub. might not work but we'll see.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0023FTRUO
Well non-bt doesn't work for me at least. I'm sure we just have to load a driver or something. I tried atrix -> male micro usb -> regual usb female -> male usb -> mini usb -> hub. It should be noted it was a powered usb hub. My mouse plugged into the hub didn't work, so I gave up haha.

Have you tried the apple keyboard in webtop mode I can't get it to work at all but if I connect it to the phone before that it works fine it's kind of weird

I was just wondering if anyone had hooked a touch screen monitor to their smart dock? If so...does it interact and work with the phone docked??
Sent from my big A $$ Galaxy Note 2.
I don't think it'd work. To the best of my knowledge hdmi connection is only video and audio out, not data in.
I have a samsung ead-r10 pico-projector. I used to connect to my galaxy nexus phone with a MHL cable that came with the projector, and it used to "just work" when I was on ice-cream sandwich. You'd plug in the cable, and the phone would automatically rotate to landscape and mirror your screen onto the projector, nice!
Recently an over-the-air upgrade to Android version 4.1.2 jellybean came (I'm on Telstra), and it's somehow not working after that. Now when I plug in the device, it jerks around looking like it's trying to do its thing, and the projector kind of flicks on and off, and then it gives up. The upgrade didn't seem to break anything else. I know the projector is OK because it still works normally with my laptop.
Is this a known issue? I searched around the forums but couldn't find similar problems. How can I troubleshoot that feature and try to get my HDMI out back? I really miss that feature.
I recently obtained the HP lapdock for a fair price. This works via USB c connection just fine. I've been looking into how to get the wifi direct connection to work with no luck BUT I know its possible.
OXI rom has been able to successfully connect to the HP lapdock. See this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAWbDg4hcYc
I have no idea how to try to even get this to work but my guess is it relies on something to do with the wifi direct api somewhere in the phone. Anyone want to take a look into this or know someone that could port this?
Thanks
OXI reached out after I contacted them. So if we could get Lineage support we could get OXI support. Anyone know how to build Lineage? Lol or know someone that could build it for us?

I'm trying to build lineage for the razer, but i'm just learning and i'm a little lost building the device tree. I can't seem to find how to do it, i guess my google skills are a bit rusty

Trying turning off the dock, plug in the cable, turn the dock on, when it gets to the cable or wireless screen plug in the phone. I use the item cord. Sometimes takes 15 tries =/

Still no joy just the blank display although it's connected as when I press the keyboard it does stuff on my phone tried every combination on start up. So annoying but thanks anyway
So updated to 8.1 Oreo, enabled Miracast from build prop, it will attempt to connect as the screen goes black on the Dock the phone force reboots. No idea whats causing it. Attached is the logcat, if anyone can look at it and assist I would be grateful.
If you need more info from a logcat just tell me what I missed. I refuse to give up on this and will continue researching and tinkering.
Also gonna try some Treble GSI's see if they work. Starting with AOKP
I downgraded my Razer phone to the 7.1.1 Android version and I STILL can't get this thing to work with the HP lapdock. Tried using the usb-c cable it shipped with, tried using a thunderbolt 3 cable...only the keyboard will work. The screen and track-pad are a no-go. The Galaxy S9 works with little fuss, so I know it's no a problem on the lapdock's end.
Ugh. I just want this thing to work.
i have a mate 20 pro, blackscreen with cable an no connection with wirelles. did someone get it to work?

I've recently bought a refurbished Lap dock from an italian seller on Ebay to use with my Blackberry Key2 (Android Oreo) and I must say it is a brilliant solution. I come from the Sentio Superbook, witch is also a very interesting solution, but the Lap dock is definitely better: screen, keyboard, touchpad have no comparison... The Sentio desktop app, anyway, works very well and offers an (almost) true desktop environment.
I haven't had any particolar problem connecting the lapdock to my smartphone, even if sometimes the screen doesn't light up, using the standard cable. I think the best way is to insert the usb c cable ony after the screen is showing the two connection options, first in the lapdock and then in the smartphone. Key presses in the touchpad don't work, but gestures are just fine once you get used to them.
I've also tried the wireless connection using the Miracast app: recognizes the screen, but the touchpad doesn't work and the keyboard is double typing every character. So basically it is useless. Hope it can help someone...

Was wondering if you ever got this to work?
no sorry, never got it working. would have been great. Maybe with some other lapdock in the future.
So it works with the Razer 1 through the cable? I have the lapdock and I'm shopping for a new phone but I'm not interested in the Note 9 which is supposed to work great with the lapdock as well.

It doesn't work wonderfully, YouTube can't run some of the time, and the audio doesn't work at all really. Just through head phones. Even with the new Dex updates. But it is fine in a pinch.
