Hey @Dpolder!

Sometimes the problem is that your WIFI blocks the WebRTC connection.
Try changing it. In such cases what usually works for me is using your phone’s tethering.

We already have on the roadmap to make the WebRTC connection more reliable, as it will be used a lot more in the future.

Hey @BlackForestBoi

Thanks for responding so quickly.
I already tried the solution you provided, but despite using this,
it still gives the same error or timeout as before.

Is it possible to synchronize without WebRTC or do you have another solution?

We don’t have any other way of syncing your phone as of now unfortunately.
Do you have any other extensions or ad/scriptblockers enabled that could interfere with setting up a connection?

When you say you tried the solution provided, do you mean changing the WIFI or tethering from your phone?
