Unless I’m misunderstanding something here, the issue appears to be what happens after you have started a Sync chain on your desktop device.
First, to ensure we’re all on the same page, I am going to provide clarity for instructions on how to Sync your mobile device to your desktop device after a Sync chain is created on your desktop device. If you have created a Sync chain on your mobile device, please first go to Settings --> Sync
on that device and delete the Sync account so that you can start fresh.
-
On your desktop device, if you haven’t already, go to
Menu --> Settings --> Sync
and clickStart using Sync
, you will create a Sync chain. So far so good. -
On your mobile device, you also need to go to
Menu --> Settings --> Sync
but do not start a Sync chain — this will create a new chain separate from the one you just created on your desktop device. Instead, on the initial Sync screen on your mobile device, it should sayI have a Sync code
as shown below — please tap this option:
-
Now it will open the QR code scanner you can use to scan the code on your desktop. Alternatively, at the bottom of the panel, you will see the option to
Enter code words

Hope this helps.
