Two wifi cards on nexus 5?

Hi,
Is it possible that we have two wifi cards on nexus? According to disassemble research (and firmware requirement) we know that there is Broadcom BCM4339 (BCM4335 driver) but we know that there is a qualcomm snapdragon 800 (msm8974) on board which has wifi inside the SoC. So my question: is the second (qualcomm) wlan available? Any one turn it on? Any advice where to start digging?
Cheers

[Q] Can a mobile device support MHL without a dedicated chip?

I read that most (all?) mobile phones and tablets that support MHL have a dedicated chip from Silicon Image for this purpose. I wonder why? Is it only for performance issues? Video processing can be expensive. In theory, would be enough for Micro USB port to be able to detect whether an MHL cable is connected and for a phone or tablet to speak MHL without a dedicated chip? I thought that maybe a dedicated chip is necessary because MHL is a proprietary technology and they only sold a licence to Silicon Image but it looks like MHL is not proprietary.
The reason I am asking this question is that myself and some other people wonder whether their non MHL-capable devices could support MHL using software . Of course, detection of MHL-capable device in Micro USB port is still an hardware issue I think but if it was supported on a particular phone or tablet, would a dedicated chip be really inevitable?

Anyone?

[Completed] [Q] Chuwi V10HD Questions re OTG While Charging

I have a new Chuwi V10HD 3G dual OS Windows 8.1 and Android KitKat 4.4. This only has a micro USB 2.0 port - no other I/O ports.
I want to be able to use the capability of the USB OTG 2.O spec - if I understand it correctly - to be able to attach and utilize an external USB 2.0 device (for example, hard drive, flash drive, keyboard, mouse, USB to Ethernet adapter, external display, etc.) while simultaneously charging the Chuwi tablet.
Chuwi says the port is a USB OTG 2.0 spec.
Hours of internet searching gives mixed impressions of whether this can be done.
More hours reading posts here on xda-developers also yields conflicting views and experiences. Some members describe how they've had success by using various Y adaptors or multi-port devices - or even hard wiring their own cables. Others say they've tried that approach with no love. Still others say the OTG spec doesn't allow for that and that it's physically impossible to do both at once.
Then there's the Pluggable Pro 8 docking station which, for a hefty price, says it will charge while connecting external devices.
What is the current state of the offerings now? Does any product really offer a solution now? Is it even possible?
To a layman like me, it doesn't seem like this should be so hard and shrouded in such mystery. <sigh>

Hi there,
You'd be best served asking for help from the experts who own your device, here:

Good luck

External touch screens supported?

Recently, I have seen a few external touchscreens that can provide both it's video and touch capabilities to some Android phones. Examples are the Vinpok Split and Gemini Portable.
They appear to do this using an ordinary USB-C to USB-C cable that you plug into your phone and the screen's USB-C port. The monitors I've seen also state that they are compatible with the Huawei Mate 10.
First, does anyone know what protocol or tech these monitors are using to do this? It doesn't appear to be DisplayLink or MHL and I don't know any other tech that could be used.
Second, does anyone know if this support is entirely software based (and hence, can be ported to the Mate 9) or is there hardware involved?
Thanks!

Video Over USB-C

Anybody have any clue if this phone supports video over USB-C, and would work with adapters? LG flagships and devices with the SD835 SoC support it but IDK if this specific one does. I would be really interested in the Android 10 desktop mode since LG is one of the few manufacturers that still have video over USB-C capabilities and this devices has android 10.
