Hi, Pairing like that definitely works because that is how I circumvent my company laptops firewall. Do you have a firewall running by any change? If so see https://community.kde.org/KDEConnect#I_have_two_devices_running_KDE_Connect_on_the_same_network.2C_but_they_can.27t_see_each_other Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.

Notifications area on the PC
KDEconnect is not associated, doesn't show up in the active notification. When associated, it does. Wifi is connected to the phone AP, no FW running.

That's what I also wanted to do at work ;) > Do you have a firewall running by any change? Indeed I manually set up a FW... However, when I activate the AP mode at home, my PC beeing connected to both my wired LAN and the phone AP, KDEconnect doesn't detect my phone. Neither the phone nor the PC can detect the other one. Is it because they have previously been associated through the wired LAN (usually my phone connects to my home AP) ? On my home PCs FW are disabled: sudo iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Thomas.

On the phone
AP activated, PC connected to the AP, not detected by the android app. Pḧone not detected by the PC app.
I forgot to change the status with my last comment :( Just to add more... At work, using: - kubuntu 18.04, - kernel 4.15, - Plasma 5.12.8, - Frameworks 5.47.0 - Qt 5.9.5 With a special iptables rule to avoid blocking packets to/from the AP, both systems can communicate with each other. Good :) I still don't know why it doesn't work at home... (In reply to tnemeth from comment #7) > Just to add more...

(In reply to Erik Duisters from comment #8) > Did you try adding your desktop by ip adress on Android? You can do that > from the overflow menu pair new devices page. I did not try. And trying made it work. Thank you. Marking it as resolved/not-a-bug since there was no real problem here. However autodetection should be better :) |
SUMMARY Hi. When I put my phone in AP mode and I connect my PC to my phone that way, no communications can be established between the phone and the PC KDE connect applications. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enable Wifi AP mode in Android 2. Connect a PC to the Wifi AP 3. Try to find the PC from the phone APP OBSERVED RESULT The PC cannot be detected. EXPECTED RESULT As the PC and the phone are on the same network, they should be able to communicate.
