Hi Kousik, It sounds like there are three different things here: - For repeat notifications, probably what you are experiencing is that Android kills our apps' connection when it goes to sleep. There does not appear to be a way to avoid this in modern Android (that we know of). The phone then wakes up when you get a new message, causing KDE Connect to re-initalize, causing all of the notifications to be re-sent. - For notifications which stack too far up the screen, changing their size, or which fail to disappear on the expected timer, these are Plasma (assuming you are using Plasma) feature requests or issues, so not something which can be handled in KDE Connect - For your suggestion to display only the latest notification, I think the idea would work in your case (and many others), but I can think of other cases where it would miss out on important information (for instance, maybe your bank tells you every time you make a purchase online and you would like to get an accurate representation of that) (In reply to Simon Redman from comment #1) > Hi Kousik, > > It sounds like there are three different things here: > > - For repeat notifications, probably what you are experiencing is that > Android kills our apps' connection when it goes to sleep.

So is it possible to enable the latest notification feature for certain apps only? Like WhatsApp messages probably aren't important and I would prefer to see only the latest one. it's better to have one notification box that iterates notification when I got a new notification all of the notifs are starting to appear but I can't see the latest one. and when I'm in windows I use 'your phone companion' app of windows it always sends me the exact notification not all of them *** Bug 445870 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 429721 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** What about keeping checksums over the messages, on phone or desktop? That way KC would know what message has already been displayed and can suppress it the next time. As for messages like the ones from a bank in #1, I am pretty sure they're never exactly the same. > The phone then wakes up when you get a new message, causing KDE Connect to

This is the main issue. Kdeconnect needs to store information, which notification it has already sent.
Don't know the Android APIs you're using here. Just asking: is there a kind of identification per notification
in Android, which you can store ?
This really looks like a duplicate of 411753, so I'm marking it as such. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 411753 *** |
