Re: Hdmi cable

 

Well I believe it is really on the hardware. MX4 and bq phones android versions doesn't support external display as well though
I'm not sure if wireless display is supported.
Anyway, I think the development of wireless display has already started so we can wait for that. And to be honest, current phones except maybe MX4 won't really be good to use for convergence :)

Is there some fancy software workaround that we just haven't thought of
yet? I have a hunch that because you can do micro-USB to HDMI on ANY
android drvice, that it is just a software thing (even though it may
exclude the GPU entirely and rely on the CPU)

Hi Wayne,

I have bought the magnificent XCSOURCE 5in1 MHL adapter [1], only to
find out later that it probably works with all devices minus my bq
Aquaris 5 HD.  :-)
I also bought this sweet converter cable [2] so that I could
potentially use the USB 3.0 output of my XPS 13 for a second external
monitor in combination with the above adapter. Negative either.

Just to give you an idea that there are sweet adapters around. But
that won't turn our bq phones into convergence devices, as others in
this thread have pointed out. That's bad luck. But if the next bq
devices also cost so little, and they arrive before 2019, we may not
have to worry too much about it...   ;-)
