Absolutely agree 100%.
Both Android app and PC stuck in a loop with no message, no option to reset and uninstalling and reinstalling both solves nothing.
Take this product out of service until there is hope of making a connection.

hi I want to connect my android device to my hp windows 10 pro using the "You Phone' and " Phone Companion" but there is is know connection even though they are both connected to a WIFI hotspot from another device. My android is stuck in a loop saying " We're checking one more thing on your PC before we ask for a final permission, while my PC stuck on" We need permission to connect and access data onyour phone. Please check your phone and tap allow."

Used an abridged version of this advice and did: (have a Note 9 Phone)
1- On my Android:
Settings / Apps / Opened Your Phone Companion / Storage / Clear Data & Cache (accept yes if it asks) / Close Settings
(I did not uninstall the App on my phone and re-install it)
2- On my PC:
in search on the bottom left, put in "programs" and choose: Add or Remove Programs
search for Your Phone (I did not have the option to uninstall)
Choose Advanced Options
Choose Repair (it puts a check mark that it is done)
Choose Reset (it puts a check mark that it is done)
Choose Terminate (it gives a warning it will disconnect everything, but that is good...that is what you want it to do...clear it all)
Close this.
3- Start the process again on the phone and the PC app with the software and it worked!
Thanks Gilles G! :=)
2 more notes:
a) I had my mobile phone on wifi to be on the same network as my PC when they connected.
b) After it worked and they were connected, in order to NOT Have to have my phone on WIFI any longer to sync, I did:
On Your Phone App on your mobile phone
Go into:
Settings
Sync over mobile data
turn that to ON
then back out.
now you do not have to be on Wifi any longer to sync!
Ahhhhh - I give up Have done everything on the net that I could find all the solutions given and I still don't get that final notification to allow. It was all working great a couple of days ago and then the icon on the top of the phone disappeared and it stopped. There was a windows update a few days ago and have a feeling something there has fubar'd it
It's a Note 10+ which is supposed to work seamlessly, the only thing I haven't done is a total reset of the phone and want to avoid that.
Don't know who to be pissed off at, Samsung or Microsoft!

ஹாய் நான் "யூ ஃபோன்" மற்றும் "ஃபோன் கம்பானியன்" ஐப் பயன்படுத்தி எனது ஆண்ட்ராய்டு சாதனத்தை என் ஹெச்பி விண்டோஸ் 10 ப்ரோவுடன் இணைக்க விரும்புகிறேன், ஆனால் அவை இரண்டும் வேறொரு சாதனத்திலிருந்து வைஃபை ஹாட்ஸ்பாட்டுடன் இணைக்கப்பட்டிருந்தாலும் தெரிந்த இணைப்பு உள்ளது. எனது ஆண்ட்ராய்டு சிக்கியுள்ளது "இறுதி அனுமதியைக் கேட்பதற்கு முன்பு உங்கள் கணினியில் இன்னும் ஒரு விஷயத்தை நாங்கள் சோதித்துப் பார்க்கிறோம், அதே நேரத்தில் எனது பிசி" உங்கள் தொலைபேசியை இணைக்க மற்றும் அணுக எங்களுக்கு அனுமதி தேவை. தயவுசெய்து உங்கள் தொலைபேசியைச் சரிபார்த்து அனுமதி என்பதைத் தட்டவும்.

Got it working...
Phone: Samsung Note 10+
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.535] (1909)
ensure the following:
1) On android > Settings > search for Notification Access > Notification Access > Find Link to Windows and enable
2) Disable Pi-Hole or any tracker blocking software you have
3) On Windows reset the Your Phone app in Settings > Apps & Features > Your Phone > Advanced Options > Repair, Also do the Reset.
4) On your Android device clear cache and clear data of app in > Settings > Apps > Your Phone Companion, Force Stop > Storage> Clear cache, Clear data
5) Uninstall updates and re-enable or Update Your Phone Companion
6) Launch Your Phone Companion on Android. I found this part troublesome as it wasn't showing up in my launcher. To handle this I installed it from the Google Play Store. After this it showed up in my Finder app search application. Once this was running it asked me to sign in to the app. Take it to the next screen after signing in and then move to your PC.
7) Start Your Phone app on Windows 10. At this point, I was then sent the text notification on my PC. Nothing to do here other than Accept.
I hope this helps someone.
