  1. When did you begin experiencing these syncing issues? It's a new phone, so from day one (today)
  2. What make and model mobile device do you have (Samsung Galaxy S5, S6, Note 6, etc)? it's not a Samsung. It's a Huawei GR5.
  3. What Android OS are you currently running (go to this link from your phone's internet browser to find out)? Emui 5.0 version Bll-L22C636B370
  4. What phone provider do you have (Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, etc)? It's an Optus phone (australia)

At this point I think we all have to restart our One to get it to sync with computer, and it's still not syncing with our phones.

I think at this point the only way to get our One's to sync is to restart them and then it only syncs with our computers. Still not syncing with our phones at all.

And for me, it may takes 3 to 4 tries at a restart to actually get it to work. PITA, i say. When i hold the button, the stop watch starts

I may try logging in on my husbands computer, win7 and see if that works, because obviously with win10 it is very difficult.

It is interesting you would like on this info. Here the thing. My brother-in-law , niece, mother and I have different information to your questions. Only difference is mine was the last to update to the new systems. They have different phone and different carriers. 

When calling for support to get it to work it came down to the product was to old.  It is feeling like a new way to force us to upgrade. At the same time some of the news one are having problem with Bluetooth syncing.

What sucks for me is my helps me keep my medical payment down. While I can't download I am missing out getting my points because it will not sync up.

I agree. It's something in this 6.60 firmware. They probably did it on purpose by programming any One that is at least 1 year old not to work any more so we can buy new ones using their gracious 20% discount that still makes a new product over $100. I wish I had known that in just over a year this thing would crap out.

This does not explain why it won't sync with the dongle either.

When I hold mine down it turns off immediately and then turns back on to a screen where it begins running a timer.
