Cell phone: Samsung A20 android.
TV: Sony Bravia, 70 inches, 6 or 7 years old. HDMI and USB ports in the rear.
I connected my phone to an HDMI port and NOTHING.
I connected my iPad to a USB port. Also nothing.
I do not yet have a connector cable that will connect my phone to a USB port. It should arrive tomorrow.
Clearly, I am not a rocket surgeon and I need all the help I can get. Thanks in advance.
Instead of the standard screen savers coming on, without my knowledge or approval, the TV started showing photos that I had taken in Europe and that were stored in my computer. I don't know how to access or control those photos either.
I don't think my old TV is fast enough for my videos. It pauses the videos and then starts them up again every few seconds. I think I may need an actual cable connection for videos.
