  Sure, I've encountered this issue before with my Helium device. One troubleshooting tip that often works is to restart both your device and the Helium app. Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve the issue and get the device unstuck. If that doesn't work, you can try disconnecting and reconnecting the device to your computer or phone. Additionally, make sure that you have the latest version of the Helium app installed, as updates often include bug fixes and improvements.

  Oh man, I feel your pain! Dealing with a device that's stuck on 'waiting for device' can be a real headache. One thing you can try is checking the USB connection. Make sure the cable is securely plugged in and that there are no loose connections. If that doesn't do the trick, you can also try using a different USB port or even a different cable altogether. Sometimes, the issue can be as simple as a faulty connection.
