SUMMARY
Hi! Just found the weirdest bug.
When tapping "call" or "hang up" from the Android phone app when KDE Connect is working on the background my media player on my laptop got paused/played. I thought it was my imagination but I was able to reproduce it consistently.
Cheers! Thanks for the great software you're making!

That's actually a feature. If you don't want it, you can disable it in the KDE Connect settings. It's called "Pause media during calls"
