I have a Vizio flat screen TV with USB port on side, and when I connect my phone, the phone recognizes the TV but the TV may not be recognizing the phone... I would like to watch hulu and NETFLIX on my TV using my Droid Razr....
 
Buy a mini HDMI to HDMI they cost like $5 on amazon and work great through the HDMI

What you want to do, as pbickel says, is connect to your TV using an HDMI cord. Be sure you get one with a micro (not mini) end such as this one at Amazon. It's $9.97 and is 15 ft long. You want to be sure you get one long enough you can actually use it comfortable. :happy3:

Here's how you do it:

Using mirror mode
  1. Plug in an HDMI cable to connect your phone and your HDTV.
  2. To adjust the viewable area, press the menu key> Settings > HDMI > Overscan. Move the slider to adjust the viewable area.
Note: you can't display DRM-protected content from your phone. So some apps may block your ability to do this.
 
I bought the cables, cords, and adapters. I go to put my phone in the dock, and I cant get HDMI mode. Told that I have to download app. Not what it shows in videos from VZW. Any tips?
