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."

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Connect Phone and PC

    Same experience as many others: just stopped working. Given up. Pushbullet looks fine and works.

    Does MS do *any* testing nowadays?

    This is precisely why I use Pushbullet and gave up on this product. Unreal and ridiculous.

    Great suggestion DavidGill2, Pushbullet simply works! Thanks!

    I echo that. I don't know why the Microsoft phone app stopped working all of a sudden, I tried everything - spending more than an hour clearing caches, reinstalling apps etc. Nothing.

    PushBullet will do for now. The interface isn't as clean but it does work. (Added later: it works very well. I like it.)

    I just hope there's no security risk :(

    I've gone through the process of uninstalling/unlinking everything probably 100 times since moving to Android back in April.  Every few days it completely dies and I'm stuck trying over and over and over and over and over and over and over to get it to work again.

    Someone in this development team needs to be fired.  Everyone in this development team needs to be fired.  The inability to do some simple syncing is astounding.  The fact there's some chicken-and-egg scenario with the app versus PC is partly what's killing this stupid thing.

    I'm so furious I don't even know what to think.  I've been a developer for 27 years now, if I had 1/10000th of the issues this app has had in the past year of operation, I'd be completely out of business.

    MS, if there's a service issue, change your app to NOTIFY US, so we know your system is broken and WE DON'T KEEP TRYING.

    MS, there's some damned signal that needs to be sent to the fabric, give us a god damned button so we can resend it.  Uninstalling/reinstalling/getting text messages/unlinking/resetting/etc IS NOT WORKING.

    MS, create diagnostic files, SOMETHING we can look at to try and DIAGNOSE **** is wrong with your damned software so we can WORK AROUND IT.

    MS, -fire- this development team.  If they can't work this out in a year of being live, they don't deserve the job.
