If you want to display your Android phone on a larger screen, it’s possible with an Android projector. Using your mobile device’s HDMI cable and connecting it to the portable projector via USB should work fine. Or if you have an MHL adapter, you can plug the adapter into the projector and connect it to your device using its HDMI cable.

If these solutions don't work for you, try connecting your phone to the internet wirelessly or tethering it with another device that is connected via WiFi or Bluetooth.

1) Go into the Settings menu on your phone and find "Connections". This is usually under the "Wireless and networks" section.

2) Click on "WiFi", then find the networks available and connect to one of them. This will allow your phone to connect to your projector wirelessly.

To tether, go into Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Tethering & portable hotspot and turn it on.

3) Connect the projector to the network that was created in step 2 above via either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, you should be able to display your Android phone onto a larger screen now.

This is how to connect android phone to projector via usb +

@eagle610: if you have a laptop/pc with a HDMI port and an MHL adapter, then you can just connect your android device using the MHL cable that came with it from Samsung. However this method only works with USB OTG ports such as on connecting USB flash drives or other external devices.

If you have an MHL to HDMI cable, then you will be able to connect your android device to the projector via USB and project it onto the screen.

You can find a cheap MHL to HDMI cable on eBay such as this one but since those things are pretty much just a bunch of wires that come with the adapter, they are not very reliable especially if there is no screen protector on your phone.

One more thing is that there are some videos online where people used an old DVD player for their android projector connection but that's totally not a good idea as DVD players do consume quite some amount of power and get really hot really fast. For example, a standalone DVD player already gets hot after letting it run for an hour or so.

Anyway what you said is the best option out of all of them. I read in some reviews that it's also possible to connect your android phone to a projector via internet but from my experience, connecting via HDMI is way faster than using internet as it takes more time for the connection to be established when using Wifi/3G/4G/LTE.

I'm not sure how useful this tip is anymore after this post but thanks for contributing anyway This tip is still useful to some extent as some people are still unaware that they can connect their phones to projectors via USB even if it's not via a OTG or MHL adapter. But nevertheless, I'm happy that I helped you by adding this info here.
