I’ve tried Google’s Messages for Web, Microsoft’s Phone Link, and KDE’s Connect. They all seem to have the same problem: they lose connection constantly and have to be unpaired and re-paired. Is this a problem inherent to the way that Android works? Has anyone managed to solve it, or is there a setting to fix it?

Thanks!

    Pushbullet is pretty solid, but is subscription based. There is also Join, which I haven’t tried yet.

      I had a really flaky experience with Join. It could never do the job correctly - SMS messages would not send or would send several times, message history wouldn’t load, and it would sometimes not connect.

        Join has worked perfectly for me.

        I tried it and pushbullet, but the latter was very unreliable.
