I got the impression from some articles I read that all Android 4.0 devices (including phones) could be set up as a desktop computer with a keyboard, mouse and external monitor (as long as they have a hdmi port). So far the no-name adroid phone I purchased on Ebay has been very disappointing. The hdmi port allows the monitor to be displayed on my monitor, but only in a narrow strip down the middle with the same resolution as the phone. Even videos (using .vob and mp4 files will only display in this format. There does not seem to be any way to change that, which raises the question of why have an hdmi port anyway?
When I plug keyboard and mouse into usb port there is no response. I haven't even been able to get the bluetooth keyboard to work.
By contrast, I have a Rikomagic mk802 devices with Android 4.0 and it works fine with all the monitors, keyboards and mouses that I have thrown at it.
Any thoughts?
