    Win 10 Home Premium Version OS Build 19042.662

    Your Phone app Version 1.20111.125.0

    Samsung A50 running Android 10.0


    I recently a few days ago cranked up the Your Phone app on my laptop and it works fingers crossed perfectly.

    I love it.


    I'm in the "getting to know" phase of working with the Your Phone app.


    I can make and receive phone calls without issue.

    And I can find and access all of my contacts as well.

    Really GOOD stuff.


    Now, here's my issue.

    When I click on "Calls" in the left pane of the app I see in the middle pane a number of phone numbers under the heading of "Recent calls".

    If I open the "Phone" app on my Samsung phone and look for calls nothing shows up.

    And I expected THAT, cuz I pretty much keep things clean on my phone.


    Where are these numbers under "Recent calls" in the "Your phone" app, coming from ?

    And how might I remove them from this list ?

    Or, is that just the way the app works ?

    No criticism on my part.

    I'm just trying to learn how the app works and what to expect.


    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    :)

    Blocking Cell Phone Numbers

    Here's one way to get around the problem. It's kludgy but it should work.

    Get a VOIP based phone service or a magic jack. For 24/7 access, you're better off with VOIP that uses an ethernet adapter, but that's up to the user.

    The important point is to find one that lets you create your own "black list" of callers. Usually they will have both black and white list options and these are usually a subcategory under the "do not disturb" or similar feature.

    The provider will usually let you create a second number for $5-10 per month. You'll use this for your cell phone number. If it is ever compromised, you can change it easily without affecting the base number.

    Forward the second number to your cell phone and give everyone that one as your "cell phone" number. There will be a delay of a few seconds as calls get routed, but who cares. It's not like any of us is on Obama's speed dial right?

    Now when you get assholes calling you, just add them to the black list.

    You can also block calls w/o caller id this way if your cell phone co. doesn't already do that for you.

    Your Phone App: Ringtone and Call quality terrible?

    Hi,

    Anyone help with this? Thanks.

    Windows 10 version: 1909 (Build: 18363.815)
    Your Phone App version: 1.20041.85.0
    Your Phone Companion Link to Windows app version: 1.20041.82.0
    Link to Windows Service version: 1.0.5.2.30

    Samsung Galaxy S10: Android 10 / OneUI 2.1

    It worked fine using my Surface Pro 4 but on my new Surface Pro X the Ringtone and Call Quality through the Your Phone app are terrible: Constant crackling, tapping whatever you want to call it. Kind of like coins being dropped.

    All other aspects of Your Phone work wonderfully.

    I've tried:

    Phone:

    1. Bluetooth: Unpairing the Surface Pro X
    2. Your Phone Companion App: Clearing Application Data/Cache
    Surface Pro X:

    1. Settings -> Bluetooth: Unpairing the phone
    2. Settings -> Phone: Unlinking the phone
    3. Settings -> Apps: Your Phone App: Repair and Reset
    I then set it all up again which went through all fine.

    I've also tried:

    1. Device Manager -> All Bluetooth Drivers -> Update Driver
    2. Paired a Bluetooth speaker to my Surface Pro X. This works fine.
    I suspect the issue is related to the Your Phone App and Bluetooth but don't know where to check next?

    Because the crackling noise seems to be bluetooth related.

    Thanks

    Anyone?
