Description BingMyBong 2021-06-22 14:58:36 UTC
SUMMARY
I've not had any notifications on my plasma desktop showing emails, sms etc being received on my phone (Android 8.1) since fixing a situation where no devices were being seen in order to pair. (removing ~/.config/kdeconnect fixed that) Now i can pair but the phone no longer shows the pair as "machine name/login-id" (see bug 438953)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pair device
2. Wait for email/sms on phone
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing on plasma desktop


EXPECTED RESULT
Notifications with options to reply to incoming sms etc

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Fixed it by renaming the Host Name in KDEconnect settings on the desktop to a unique name for every login that I link my phone to.  Shame kdeconnect no longer creates that unique name by default i.e. hostname/login-id
