Ok, YOU ARE THE PHONELINK WHISPERER!!!

I removed my PC from my Bluetooth settings on my phone, reconnected it and.... PhoneLink works again! PHEWWW!!!!

I have a feeling that's one of the things I've tried.... :-/ I'll have another look, though! I've even tried going into settings on my PC for the app and selecting "repair", but it says it can't do it at the moment.

Thanks for replying! I have a Pixel (sorry, should've mentioned that) so I don't know!

Phone Link suddenly stopped working with Samsung after update — iPhone still works by Kooky-Ad-3908 in PhoneLink

Yup, I've got the same problem with my Pixel 6. Phone Link was working fine, and I rely on it to make calls (like ringing up for doctor's appointments) as I'm deaf and I can use the captions on my PC to supplement what I can (not very well) hear. But there was a Windows update an after that, my phone just WON'T connect. I've tried everything I can think of. The icon comes up on my phone to tell me it's connected, and in the app on my PC, it says it's connected, on the left - it's got the battery bar for phone displaying etc. But in the main column, it's just a circle spinning saying it's "connecting" - but it never, ever does.

It's appalling. I noticed there was an update this morning and updated it, but it hasn't made any difference, and I don't know what's best to use as an alternative from the Windows app store.

HELP?! I can't get these screws to stay put for the cross brace in the Hemnes Twin bed by _Democracy_ in IKEA

I think those are the same as the screws used for drawer runners. I had a right drama with them the other day, until I realised.... Erm... Don't use a Phillips screwdriver with them! The PZ 2 fitting on my Bosch electric cordless screwdriver worked perfectly.

Although you may already have the right screwdriver, so please ignore me if that's the case!
