        @totalrando No, Bluetooth doesn't have the bandwidth for it. You need a Miracast adapter, such as MS Wireless Display Adapter. Some TVs and such have support built in. Also, it will be pretty laggy for interactive use. It's really only good for streaming a video or such.

          @dobey Ok, bit of a depressing answer there-- so basically for convergence, operability and 4G it sounds like my main choice is "Nexus 5." Is there any way to build USB operability on the OPO, was it removed, I am really confused here.

            @totalrando Not really. DisplayLink is proprietary (which is something that can enable video over USB on anything, but again requires yet a different type of adapter), so we can't include that. Whether a device supports it directly is something the manufacturer has to enable when building the device.

            Several later devices with USB-C do support Slimport docks, but I'm not sure how many are supported by UT currently, beyond the Pinephone. Google Pixel phones do not support it.

              @dobey I'm frustrated enough to look at the code. A Nexus 4 can support convergence and it doesn't even have 3G. Same USB-Mini port, so I can't see why it doesn't have it.

              EDIT: Ok now I have a better understanding. I am going to try this before tearing my hair out and buying a Pinephone.

              EDIT #2: Ok-- I see what you mean. Displaylink is proprietary. It seems like my only path without buying a new phone. Gonna take the risk.

                Wired external display supports must be supported by the hardware and software. At the moment, nexus 4, 5, and 7 are the common UT devices that has support for it. Fxtec Pro1/Pro1-X is the other one but rare, expensive and a very young UT port.

                To be honest, desktop mode on an external display is cool but still not ready for actual use especially on these old under specced devices. So if you expect something that you can use every day, it may not be worth the money and effort.

                  @totalrando External display support is not "convergence" and the Nexus is a 3G phone.

                  And no matter what you do, none of these phones are as powerful as a full sized PC. So, unless the only things you do on your PC are pretty basic, a phone is not likely going to replace it in a way that fulfills all your needs.

                    @kugiigi I have a Nexus 4, if we're being honest I'd be using it right now if I had 4G, even though I am no longer sure my OPO is picking up 4G. The main issue with the Nexus is honestly memory size, as I like having a lot of gigs handy.

                      @dobey I generally have worked on low-spec machines for almost two decades now. Most of what I do is either on a browser or some sort of office application. I'm not playing World of Warcraft on these things. šŸ™‚

                        Marking solved. Ok. Can't mark it solved. Guess it's too old to do housecleaning on. Actually, no. It's not my topic.
