My Phone Explorer not connecting

Phil,

'obtain the phone's ISP' = 'obtain the phone's IP' I assume

You can always connect it by USB to side-step the problem

To fix the problem:-
1 Get the IP from the phone MPE client's Settings page and tell MPE on the computer to use that.
2 Once you have successfully connected using that specific IP, change the computer's MPE, File, Settings, Connections back to AutoDetect and it will pick it up however you have it connected.

I have had to repeat this IP setting up after my phone has had an OS update so perhaps that's what has happened in your case as well.

Phone link shows connected, can't open apps

When I open Phone Link on PC, it shows all my phone's recent messages and also shows texts as they come in. But, when I try to load any app, it says that I need to connect to the same WIFI, which of course, I am seeing that I am getting all my notifications from my android phone to my PC.. I am using WINDOWS 10

 

My Phone Explorer connecting advice

I have never seen this error.

These suggestions are just ideas

1 Since you started off saying you had "established contact between my PC and MPE and started checking out the many useful services it provides" I wonder if you have since altered anything to do with the connection type [USB / WiFi hotspot / WiFi network / ...].

2 In the instructions listed in that MPE forum link, have you done the procedure in the line "ATTENTION: On Android 4.2.2 and newer the USB-Debugging option is hidden, here is a tutorial how to unlock USB-Debugging for this devices:"? Here's a direct link to the right page in their forum - How to use MyPhoneExplorer with an Android Device - MPEForum
{I've now added this link to the earlier post because I realised that I had referred to it within a general MPE forum link as just some sort of 'info' link even though it was crucial}
3 Connect the phone by USB and check it appears as a drive in File explorer & that you can browse it [you don't need MPE for this to work and any problems would probably mean the correct driver had not been installed]

4 Do you get the same error if the phone is disconnected [i.e. it is a problem on the computer rather than between the computer & the phone]?

5 Does the phone's MPE client start running when you try to run MPE on the computer? Does Google PlayStore show that it needs updating? We used to have to start it separately but mine just starts automatically these days.

6 Do you get the same error whether it is a WiFi connection or USB connection? Or have you only tried USB so far?
