Unable to pair by QR Code and Sign In methods #449

Closed kw0n closed 3 months ago

kw0n commented 4 months ago

Describe the bug I have been unable to pair the app with my phone as usual through QR Code and/or Sign In methods (both top and bottom sign in buttons). When trying to pair with QR code, The QR scanner from the Messages app on my phone reads and error stating "Something went wrong. Try again in a few minutes." When trying to pair by the Sign In buttons on the top right and the bottom.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open 'Google Messages app v5.4.2 on Windows 11' and Google Messages app in android phone (S23)
  2. On the S23, Click on 'Profile picture then Device Pairing then use with and/or without an account. ' 3a. When using without an account, click 'Switch to QR pairing' then 'QR code scanner' then scan the QR Code within the Windows Google Messages v.5.4.2 app. From here it will display an error labeled under 4a. 3b. When using with an account, it will display error in 4b. 4a. See error - "Something went wrong. Try again in a few minutes." 4b. See error - "Can't pair with your Google Account right now. Restart the Messages app and sign in again."

Expected behavior Work as usual

Likely will be fixed in latest release

just reporting back, I wasn't sure if you meant the release from today 06/08/2024 but it still has the issues above for the QR method. The Sign In method now allows me to sign in but It will show this (screenshot) on the Google Messages app v5.4.4 app (Portable Version). I have verified that I am signed in to the android google messages app as well and tried to restart both apps on PC/Android. P31Jx29teh

Just wanted to report that I was able to sign in with no issues using the Google Account + Messages verify method (where it has you select the right emoji) which obviously means the old QR code scanning method is out. This morning I updated the Messages app on my Galaxy S24 Ultra, so it's possible that @kw0n you'll need to update the app on your phone to enable the new device pairing method.

Hey Joel, thanks for letting me know. I went back in to troubleshoot. I deleted the appdata messages on PC, uninstalled messages updates on s23 and reinstalled the latest version of google messages. From here it still didnt work for some reason, then I changed dns on my pc and it allowed me to connect. I then changed back to the prior dns I had it set to and it still worked for both QR and sign in modes. I restarted both PC and S23 and it still is working, allowing me to pair and unpair at will. Thank you @OrangeDrangon for keeping this alive and updating when needed and thanks @hisnameisjoel for giving insight.
