I have a Dell Vostro 3578 purchased less than two weeks ago, is has Bluetooth. When I go on the Windows Store on the Dell Mobile Connect page it says that the app is not compatible with my device. How so?

You must have missed the part that said that Dell Mobile Connect is only for laptops purchased January 2018 or later !

Thanks for reaching out to us on Dell Community. Dell Mobile connect is compatible with Dell Vostro 3578.

I would suggest you to download and install the Dell Mobile Connect Driver using this link: https://dell.to/2POg3Pg

Once the driver is installed please use this link: https://dell.to/2POg4mi to download the Dell Mobile Connect Application.

I've bought my laptop two weeks ago, that's way later than January 2018...

I've succesfully installed the driver but the MS store, opened from the link, still tells me that the app is not compatible and my only option is to redeem a code.

Was this purchased through a retailer or directly from Dell? The reason I ask, if the system was sold to a retailer, it would have a shelf life of 3 months which may be one of the reasons it's incompatible.

It can't find the username Dell-Fuzail M, and yes, I bought it from a retailer.

Seems like the re-seller may have purchased it before January 2018 which could be one of the reason. I'll conform the purchase date once I receive the Service Tag.

Hi,

Thank you for your message. I will be glad to assist you.

NOTE: Dell Mobile Connect is available on Dell consumer (XPS, Inspiron, Vostro, and Alienware) PCs with Bluetooth purchased in January 2018 or later.

So if the system is purchased during this date, I would suggest you uninstall the current one, restart the system and then download and install the Dell Mobile Connect Driver using this link: https://dell.to/2POg3Pg

Once the driver is installed please use this link: https://dell.to/2POg4mi to download the Dell Mobile Connect Application and check.
