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."

    If only the App would say what the ".... checking one more thing..." was.

    Exactly! This is so frustrating yet someone must know and it would make troubleshooting so much easier if we all knew.

    Is this still being worked on? I've tried 3 times to get this set up on my Pixel 3xl. Each time, it gets to the last step and will go no further. Kind of frustrating that this feature has been turned on on my computer, but that it's too buggy to work.

    PC App: Can see calls, sms, photos, etc. 

    I can dial out from the app, but the audio won't route through PC. On phone I have option to choose my laptop for audio, but when I click it, it just reverts back to phone. On PC I can see that call is going and can hang up, but just not get audio... which is kind of the point.

    Android App: Sales 'Finish Setting Up'. When I click view permissions, I can see that all the permissions needed are allowed (Telephone, Contacts, SMS, Call logs). In Bluetooth, the connection for my laptop has all options checked: phone calls, media audio, and contact sharing permissions.

    While trying to get phone audio working, I guess my SMS, and notifications have stopped working.

    I get that this isn't trivial, but this is crazy frustrating.

    I have the same problem - can't connect my Pixel 4XL. This thread is TWO YEARS old and Microsoft STILL hasn't fixed the problem.  Pathetic.
