    Hi @josecarloses,

    One of the ways to detect your smartphone can be done using QR codes. You can generate a QR code in your Android app in order to obtain both the port and IP address scanning it with HoloLens. Depending on what you want to do with your application you can use TCP/IP or UDP protocol. There are some examples on the internet using both protocols and QR code to be used on HoloLens, therefore, check out the forum to find information related to it.

    I hope this information can help you to do what you want.

    Regards,
    Cristian.
