Contact Dell Support

I was excited when this new version came out and it (mostly) worked for a little while. A couple of months ago it stopped working altogether. Although the app on the computer and phone both work on their own they never seem to talk to each other. I can’t text from my laptop and rarely can view contacts. The only thing that works is the notifications (but who cares since I don’t need those) and the mirroring (again a feature that I’m sure is helpful to some but, I don’t need). I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled both apps (phone and laptop) multiple times in the hopes it works but it just doesn’t. Like a chump I open them almost every day to see if this is the day it’ll start working again and alas, my insanity meter keeps going up because it never works.

I really loved the old app and had no problems, but this new updated app just doesn’t work properly. The layout is nice and I like how the app looks, but the app just doesn’t work, every time I have to use it, it says that the app can’t run in 2 different windows when I only have it open in one, and it always says to turn on the Bluetooth for my phone when I’ve already checked that my phone is connected with my laptop. Most the time I have to completely unpair my phone with the app to get it to work. And lastly you have to keep the app open on your phone this is more an inconvenience than the app not working but if I leave to respond to a text or watch something on my phone I can’t use the app on my computer.

It keeps prompting me to connect my device via bluetooth to be able to send messages when it is already clearly connected since my contacts and photos are populated on the PC app. Does not show up in my phone’s Bluetooth devices as an option but all of my permissions are turned on to allow connection to the PC. I haven’t been able to use the app(s) properly yet and even though the phone app says “mirroring”, it doesn’t do anything on my PC except it starts screen recording on my phone. Odd.
