    Phone Link working for messages and notifications but not for calls


    I've set up phone link on my desktop and laptop and both work with messages and notifications, but when I switch to calls, I get error messages On laptop it asks if I have already set up a mobile device with another app I haven't. On the desktop it gives an error about bluetooth. Is there any solution for this? I am not using headphones, only the speakers on the computers. I have Windows 11 Home. There was a solution I found that required using command line to issue a command, but the command would not work. I also changed a registry line they suggested and that didn't help. Would li

  2. Windows Phone Link - Messages Send Notification not working

    Yes, the laptop is listed as a connected device. The basic connection/link appears intact.

    That video must be old (it calls the PC app "Your Phone" rather than "Phone Link" for a start), and in the video at 01:44 the button is called "Open Settings on Phone" rather than "Send Notification", so the demonstration here seems to work a bit differently. Nonetheless, that shows the exact step in the process that doesn't work for me. All the stuff beforehand succeeds smoothly. All the stuff after that works fine too.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  3. Windows Phone Link - Messages Send Notification not working

    Thank you for your reply Mosken_L, your assistance is appreciated.

    The information you've listed is:

    • System version: Windows (10) Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.2604) - I try to keep this up-to-date
    • Phone Link version: 1.22122.94.0
    • Link to Windows version: 1.22122.147.0
    The Microsoft store and the Phone Link app itself state there are no updates available and it is up-to-date. The Google Play store on the Galaxy S22 lists the Link to Windows app as being up-to-date also.

    Windows Settings / Windows Update lists no major pending updates, apart from its usual annoying message about upgrading to Windows 11 which I do not yet wish to do.

    It does seem to be only this particular function that is not working. I am even receiving WhatsApp messages on the Windows PC, but because the Messages "Send Notification" is not working, I am currently unable to receive traditional SMS/MMS messages. I can even screen cast successfully.

    Edit: I have done followed all the suggestions on the troubleshooting page, and have even tried reinstalling both Phone Link and Link to Windows, without success.

    Thank you for any help that you can provide.

  4. Phone Link working for messages and notifications but not for calls

    (SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

    Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

    Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.
