How do you get the retractable third leg to come out enough? I have it, and while the leg retracts and can touch the ground if the droid is standing straight up, it does not extend enough to touch the ground if the droid is angled forward like he is in...

I checked my son's R2 and it seems pretty much like you described. It also seems like those box-like attachments on the inside of the two main legs don't help getting it in good tilted positions either. I know he loves his, but it is more of a show piece, like his Death Star, than an every day active playing piece. He only plays with his R2 when he's showing it off to people!

The third device does not have an arm, but attaches to the main mast, so no real movement. There are quad stands you may want to consider.

I found they sometimes get a bit stuck. Normally they should come out by pushing them lightly. Usually it helped when I unscrewed that bit just slightly until the legs drop out and then screw it up again.

I have this figure. It still has both legs. One of the knees is very tight, but I very gently got it to bend. Placing the knee in hot water should cause it to loosen.

I'm not sure I can help, but yes I noticed a slight problem when putting the legs. The center leg is retractable, make sure that you push to its maximum, then R2-D2 would stand properly :-) Also the side leg can rotate, from vertical to a back position.

This is my third docking station from Motorola. It appears to me that Motorola already has preprogrammed docking station features on their phones and when you tilt them onto their sides and plug them into the dock it activates. I usually "explore" what happens when I touch or swipe the screen with my finger. Each model has different instructions and "act and behave differently". My other Droid, when I press my finger on the screen when it's been sitting in the dock awhile, tells me time and temperature...who knew? My advice is to touch and swipe and hold.....literally play with the device when you get it.

Problem.... I spoke too soon. Used mine again this weekend and it definitely does slip. Sorry for the bad news update. It is possible to slip it back, just takes a little messing around with it. Too bad they don't fix that problem, seems like it wouldn't be difficult, and then the product would be awesome.

Just fix and tight the mount untill you can move the phone with some pressure, then just move the phone to the right or left. The car mount release system is different from the bike/running release system. Hope it help, works great for me!

all the usual droids and android phones usually comes with micro usb plugin for charging and data ports...so that means this cable works perfectly fine with them. mine is Moto x and this cable works A OK and yes it does retract and this is a solid cable to buy.

It will move around and that's by design given it sits on a ball point. The only way for it to fall off is by force. You may have gotten a defective unit. I'd return it and try another one if you want. Just make sure you carefully take it out of the package especially the part with the tipHope this helps.

I have found that if you place the opened keyboard on back face in a phone or tablet stand that it is much more stable and prevents it from falling over. Even the cheap plastiic stands will work. I can now even place the keyboard with the stand on my leg, while sitting down, without it falling backwards. I love the keyboard, but am stiil trying to find a work around for when it times out and trying to get it connected to the bluetooth again.

It's kind of tricky. Relax and don't force it. Push one of the bottom leg bars first. I thought it was a pain at first, too.

I do not see a way to tighten the leg joints. You can tighten the top joint with the screw system. What I have found is that the farther apart the legs are the less weight it will support. Mine holds a DSLR with the legs at similar angle to the picture. Your phone should be easy to hold assuming the weight is evenly dispersed and the legs at a reasonable angle. If not, maybe there is too much play in the joints. I could see the joints getting loose with a lot of use, but 3 weeks... that seams quick.

I just received mine and noticed there is very slight rocking and the 4th leg is not touching the floor like the other 3 but not big enough gap to put a book under, thought maybe its a safety design feature but not sure. I may get a better idea once I start using it.

Because the top arm rachets out all you have to do is pull up a little before pulling away from the dock. The arm will stay in the up position. Not only will that relase your device, but the dock will be ready to recieve it for the next time.

There is a button in the outside toward the top of each leg. Push it and the legs should release.
