Windows 10: Please, I really need your help trying to pair my phone to Your Phone Companion. It doesn't...

I've literally been having this issue for about 5 days now and I can't believe no matter what I do, it simply refuses to send me the notification!

I have a Galaxy Note 10+ and I have the latest Android 10 update. I have the latest Windows 10 update.

When it first happened, I resetted the data on both apps, removed my phone from my Microsoft account and started everything again. Didn't work.

I was able to remove the app from Windows and I install all updates from my phone. Did everything again. Didn't work.

I checked my PC and router settings to see if there was something blocking, like a port or the app, nope. I decided to turn everything off to see if I can at least get it working. Didn't work.

I went to another wifi network and tried it. Nope. I used my personal Hotspot on my phone, nope.

I'm honesty out of ideas. Has anyone been having this issue because I'm literally fumed trying to get this fixed for days now. Thank you!

Pairing a phone to a car

One thing I would add ... There should be a list of paired devices on the phone, If so it would be best if you "UnPair" any devices listed on the phone as well as the phones shown on the Car. To Unpair a device from an Android Phone go to Settings, Bluetooth and there should be a list of paired devices - at the right of each paired device is a "Cog" icon click on this and click on the unpair option, repeat for any other unneeded devices.

Sometimes paired items get out of sync and both sides need to be removed to re-pair

 

Pairing a phone to a car

Remove the device from the cars Bluetooth list. Restart your phone. Go to the Bluetooth settings on the phone and set it to Pair. Set the cars Bluetooth to pair, they should find it each other.

 

Pairing a phone to a car

Hi there
I've found also with Blu Tooth that the whole thing becomes unpaired if you have say a SatNav in your car with audio traffic alerts / warnings enabled. Same thing can happen with an inbound call.

If your car has a decent AUX IN it's probably easier to use the headphone output from your phone to the AUX in if you car has one. Mine has a decent Aux in by the central "lift up" console (coffee mugs, space for change etc) where I can put the whole phone in it.

I don't make or receive calls on mobile phones while driving.
On our roads even looking at a satnav while moving can be dangerous at times -- we need to keep our eyes on the road 100% of the time -- lot of black ice around -- very hazardous - so putting phone out of reach and just playing music etc is just fine done that way.
