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."

    Does anyone know if this app works without all permissions enabled? I am getting the "We're checking one more thing" message too, but I disabled some permissions that I don't intend to use (calls, contacts and SMS). I know sometimes developers don't put in good error handling for rejecting permissions, and I'm wondering if this is one of those occaisions where if you reject the initial request you basically have to reset the app and start again.

    It's a little odd because the Windows app itself works just fine. I can mirror the phone's screen, drag and drop files, browse photos. But the app on the phone is stuck on a spinner.

    I also had this issue on my Android phone. I was able to resolve it by taking the following steps:

    Open Settings -> Apps -> Your Phone Companion.

    Click on Storage then Clear Data

    Restart the Your Phone Companion app then go through the steps to reconnect.
