Description Zamundaaa 2019-01-12 17:30:43 UTC

SUMMARY
after every reboot my pairing is gone. It still shows the PC on my phone and the phone on my PC but it says "request pair" and until I do it it won't connect. If I then pair it keeps my settings, my registered commands are still there.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. reboot the PC

OBSERVED RESULT
I'm required to pair again for it work

EXPECTED RESULT
The pairing should be persistent (as it has been)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: I'm on kernel 4.20.1-1-MANJARO with the latest updates from the stable branch
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.53.0
Qt Version: 5.12.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I had to reset my phone recently. Then I had to pair again (as expected). Could have something to do with it

I tried reinstalling kdeconnect on the PC & also installing the git version using the AUR and reinstalling the app, nothing fixed this. Any further steps I could try?

Can you please attach the content of ~/.config/kdeconnect/trusted_devices before and after rebooting?

What's also perhaps noteworthy is that it doesn't show my phone in firefox. So it says that I could send this page to my laptop (button greyed out as it's not connected) but doesn't even show my phone at all there

So I've now tried removing the trusted devices file, rebooting & pairing again, didn't resolve this either.
What's interesting though is that I had kde connect open on my phone and when I logged in on my PC it shortly showed the page like it was paired for less than a second before reverting to the "request pair" page again

Comment 7 Zamundaaa 2019-01-16 16:32:30 UTC

Another interesting behavior. Today when booting it connected automatically without pairing needed but after I suspended the PC it seemingly revoked the connection again and I had to re-pair

I have the same problem since a few weeks or even months. I'm using Arch, so the problem migh be specific for Arch/Manjaro?

Comment 9 vamos 2019-03-08 15:11:21 UTC

I've been suffering from this bug aswell ever since I installed Arch some months ago.

Comment 10 vamos 2019-03-08 15:43:32 UTC

Possible fix: After cleaning the Android application storage and cache and re-pairing, it works without problem in my case.

Haven't had this in a long time now, so I'm marking this as closed.
