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!

    Definitely not an Android thing. I, and various friends and family, have been using Google Messages for Web for years (as well as MS Phone Link), across a wide range of devices and connections and have never had those issues. Sometimes I stay connected for days at a time on Google. I suspect this is going to keep happening regardless of what service you use until you figure out what the underlying issue is with your phone/service/internet etc. I would think that if this is happening with a wired, MS Phone Link connection, the culprit is most likely your service provider.

      It’s not an internet issue because I only have trouble in this one specific area and I’ve used multiple SMS link providers and multiple different phones. I don’t get it.
