USB Connector: Phone to TV

Connect your Android phone to a TV with a USB-C to HDMI adapter and watch your content on the big screen.

USB Connector: Phone to TV is a connection guide and compatibility tool for wired phone to TV setups. It checks what your phone's USB port actually reports, walks you through the connection step by step, and gives you a one-tap shortcut to your phone's built-in screen mirroring settings.

CHECK YOUR PHONE FIRST

Before you spend money on an adapter, run the built-in check. The app reads the USB and display capabilities your Android device reports:
- USB host mode support
- USB accessory mode (OTG) support
- Connected USB devices
- External or second display detection
- Wi-Fi Direct support for wireless mirroring

Results are shown in plain language, with the full technical list so you can compare it against your phone's specifications.

STEP-BY-STEP CONNECTION GUIDE

A clear five-step guide covering everything from choosing the right adapter to selecting the correct HDMI input on your TV. Written for people who have never connected a phone to a television before.

SCREEN MIRRORING SHORTCUT

Open your phone's own casting and screen mirroring settings with one tap. The app finds the right settings screen for your device, whether your manufacturer calls it Cast, Smart View, Wireless display or Screen mirroring.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PLEASE READ

This app is a guide and compatibility tool. It does not create the video signal itself, and it cannot add video output to a phone that does not have it.

A wired phone to TV connection requires an Android phone that supports video output over USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode), plus a compatible USB-C to HDMI adapter or cable. This is a hardware feature of your phone. Many Android phones do not have it.

Android does not provide any way for an app to confirm DisplayPort Alt Mode support. The compatibility checker reports the USB and display information Android does expose, and tells you clearly when support cannot be confirmed. For a definitive answer, check your phone manufacturer's specifications for "USB-C video output" or "DisplayPort Alt Mode".

USB OTG support does not mean a phone supports HDMI video output. These are two separate capabilities.

Screen mirroring behaviour, and the name of the mirroring settings screen, depend on your phone model, Android version and manufacturer.
