[LG TV Connecting Smartphones] How can I connect my smartphone with a USB cable?

Troubleshooting

You can connect your smartphone or PC in two ways: PTP (removable disks) and MTP.
Both protocols support data backup between a smartphone and a PC, but only smartphones supporting PTP can be connected to the TV.
MTP connection is not supported by the TV.

Note
- PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol): Allows the transferring of pictures from a digital camera (smartphone) to a computer or other devices without a device driver.
- MTP (Media Transfer Protocol): Is a protocol designed for multimedia transfer.
