Windows 10: Why does my phone and PC not connect specifically with eachother?

Hello, I have this problem for quite a while now. My phone and Pc don't connect Via Bluetooth for almost a year now. I remember connecting them with the phone link app and even handing some phone calls on my PC. I tried connecting my phone with another PC and my PC with another phone and both worked without any problem. Can anyone please help me out here I really need to use this feature. thanks in advanc

PC Windows 10 Bluetooth won't connect with Pixel 3XL phone

I have a Lenovo Yoga C930 PC (Win 10) that I cannot connect to my Pixel 3XL phone. I can get them to pair, but the PC bluetooth will only hold the connection for about 1 second, then says 'not connected'.

I have removed the PC from the phone's list of previously connected devices & then re-paired-numerous times. I have shut down & re-started both devices numerous times. None of these actions have worked. I am praying that one of you smart readers can help me solve this highly frustrating problem, pretty please?

BTW, I recently ran the upgrade on my phone from android 9 to 10. Could this be the problem? I see other changes on my phone that I think add steps & make it more cumbersome to use. Wish I could dump android 10 & go back to 9, but don't know how to do that either. If that is not the cause of this connection problem with the PC, I can live with it.

I would appreciate all advice. Please know that I am a 60-something year old- more knowledgeable than a basic user, but not super well versed in all of the software & hardware fixes that many of you know, so please write your suggestions/solutions accordingly. Many thanks in advance

 

My Phone Explorer will not connect

I think I can see what you are getting at----I may have a problem connecting my phone to the PC via USB, regardless of MPE in which case MPE would have the usb problem. I have just checked and so far the phone does not show up, in Windows Explorer (or similar apps). I have not tried connecting my Android 11 phone to the PC before. It my first Android phone but I remember successfully connecting my previous Windows Lumia 345. If this is (part of) the problem I guess it would still not explain the unstable WiFi connection? I have connected the Android phone to USB Flash Drives in the past and have just done it. Has this anything to do with OTG? The connector I have just used is OTG but I have no reason to think the cable I use to connect the phone to the PC (eg. for MPE) is OTG. If it does require OTG why did MPE work so well with the phone cable when I first tried it? On another but related point I have discovered something which causes problems with MPE. When it is starting to connect and goes through the list of things to synchronise it either takes a long time or fails completely at the last two specific items, which are "Refresh file lists" and "Sync photos". If I see it struggling at this stage I know connection will not be successful.

 

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.
