What issue are you seeing?

ChatGPT Remote on my Android tablet successfully connects to the Codex Windows app and displays the task list. However, opening any task created on Windows produces an indefinite loading spinner.

A task created from the Android tablet on the same Windows host and in the same worktree opens normally. Messages entered on Windows appear on the tablet and vice versa. This confirms that pairing, connectivity, the account, and message synchronization are working.

Environment:

• Host: Codex/ChatGPT Windows app
• Windows app version: 26.818.3698.0
• Android tablet: [model]
• Android version: [version]
• ChatGPT Android app version: [version]
• Google Play reports that no update is available

Steps to reproduce:

1. Pair the Android tablet with the Windows Codex app.
2. Create or open a task on Windows.
3. Open Remote on Android and select that task.
4. The task displays a loading spinner indefinitely.
5. Create a new task from Android on the same host and worktree.
6. That Android-created task opens and synchronizes normally.

Expected result:

Any existing task shown in the Remote task list should open, regardless of whether it was created on Windows or Android.

Actual result:

Only the task created from Android opens. Windows-created tasks—including newly created tasks and a newly created fork—spin indefinitely.

Troubleshooting already completed:

• Force-stopped the Android app
• Cleared the Android app cache
• Cleared all Android app storage/data
• Signed out and back in
• Removed and re-established the pairing
• Fully restarted the Windows app
• Confirmed that both apps are current
• Opened the affected task on Windows before attempting it on Android
• Created a fresh fork of an affected task
• Confirmed that Windows can open, read, and continue all affected tasks

The problem persists after all of these steps.

Example task IDs:

• Failing current task: 01a02218-e0a3-7271-bbbf-8a29f081159f
• Failing older task: 01a02178-a9d5-7ff1-9e5c-c68b50de866a
• Failing fresh fork: 01a0222c-dcbc-7560-a28d-4e8eb01484c6
• Working Android-created task: 01a02227-1a62-7b81-a3a7-bd4f6137373a

This appears to be an Android Remote task-loading defect specific to tasks originating on the Windows host.

Start by reproducing the issue with the listed failing and working task IDs, comparing how Windows-created and Android-created tasks are loaded in Android Remote. Done means every task shown in the Remote task list opens and synchronizes, including Windows-created tasks and forks.
