    I want to connect my phone to my TV to watch youtube videos in large screen. IO can connect my phone and mount the USB storage so the tv recognised the phone but I can't seen to get the video to go on the TV screen. Any advice??





    mods: please move if not in the correct forum

    Some modern phones have a mini HDMI socket, with the appropriate cable you could connect to your TV and watch video that way. Not all modern phones show up as Mass Storage so the TV might not be able to see it via USB. The TV may also be expecting the files to be in the root folder - not always the case with phones.

    When you say you want to watch YouTube videos do you mean you've downloaded these videos to the memory card of the phone and now want to replay them or do you want to use the YouTube app on your phone to play them from the internet live ?
