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!

    One other thought is to use Google Voice.

    At least in that case, everything runs through a Google server, rather than through some possibly janky connection between your desktop and phone.

    The drawback is that, if you have an existing phone number, you’d have to port it over to Google Voice (or maybe Google Fi can port that number to an actual cell phone; not sure if it can).
