My phone no longer rings with volume on, or displays in lock screen or notification bar that I have new texts. The app icon doesn't even show the bubble for new messages. The only way I can tell I have new messages is opening the app and seeing the unread message preview in bold font. This only occurs with text, emails I still get normal notifications. Samsung S24 ultra phone, Lenovo yoga laptop, using Google messages app.

Works through BT, not as expected. It does let you use messaging and photos, but the rest doesn't work as expected. Phone calls are still through the phone, making the pc just a Bluetooth device. Never was able to talk through the pc though, so call functionality is a fail, mostly because of how audio signals with in BT and on Windows.

Overall, this is a nice way to access your mobile on your computer. I keep a phone window 'maximized' on the left side of my desktop for ease of messaging and to play games while still using my computer. Some apps need to be minimized then reopened to work properly. Occasionally the phone window will not load and the app will need to be closed completely then reopen, allowed to load, then retry the phone window for your desktop. Might just be a glitch, but it's annoying. Overall, a nice app.
