Keep in mind that the Micro USB ports on projectors are usually used for updating, so you will most likely not be able to connect your phone to your projector that way.

Use a Mini USB port if your device has one. This can affect the quality of picture and sound, as this is usually used just for charging. Use this only if you have to as a last resort when everything else fails.
