Re: Miracast/MHL/other on MX4

 

I bought an MHL cable and it doesn't do anything for me.  Nothing turns
up in dmesg when I plug it into the phone.

I don't have any other MHL device to test with so it's possible the
cable doesn't work.  Or that there's subtle wiring differences between
different brands of MHL.

MHL support was one of the major reasons I bought the MX4 in the first
place so it's a pretty disappointing result.  I'm hoping the feature can
be revived eventually, I'd love a definitive answer on whether it can be
made to work.
