You were so right, after struggling a while to get all the pieces off and reinstalling, it seems to actually let me text my best buddy.
Great idea...why didn't I think of that LOL

I was able to fix this on my computer by following these steps:
- In the Phone Link app on PC, go to Settings, click the My Devices tab, and use the ellipsis (...) menu on your device to remove it, then close the app.
- On your phone (mine is an Android), go to Settings, Apps, Link to Windows, Open, then remove your PC from the Linked Computers section.
- Restart your phone.
- Re-link the phone and PC by restarting the Phone Link app on your PC and following the step to add your device.
- Perhaps this is the critical thing, but I noticed in the Link to Windows app on Android, there is a toggle to "Sync contacts" under the list of Linked Computers, which was disabled for me. Turn this on.
Contacts are showing up again for me now - yay!
Worked correctly. Thank you.
I tried it, did the pairing as instructed. But no, it works only once. The next time I try and use it, it pops up with the request to pair again.
Go into settings and make sure "Remember this computer" is on.
Well I tried it, it should have worked. But every time I tried to use it, it asked me to pair the phone and the computer again. Each and every time. So it is useless to me.
