@Somamint Please add logs of both phones to help devs to investigate the issue! Nevertheless it could help to remove known devices/groups from wifi-direct in your os settings.

Hi! Yes, if you could share debug logs, we can more easily look into this issue.

I tried. But the the old Phone Note 8 does not open logs. I keeps loading the logs. And the new phone has only the option to transfer. There is no log option.

From the old phone

Note 8 (7.14.1) to Note 9 (7.9.6)

Why is the version on the Note 9 older?

I also run into this again but after several atempts i noticed the phoned were at different versions. It would be nice to have such informations on screen like a text note "Make sure you updated to latest version."
