Comment on attachment 147941 [details] connect indicator screenshot (no data, -1% reported) Same thing here with Android 10 (Oppo Color OS flavour, unsure if that is the cause or not, I can't change or try any other phone OS right now) and KDEConnect on Arch on the other side. So far the same notification appears on the phone and and no battery usage % is displayed at all on the computer side, neither on the qt app, kde cli or Gconnect (which doesn't really matter here, but I tested it too). https://i.imgur.com/s4qFxO6.png d’abr. 03 20:45:31 honk-a-tron kdeconnectd[1827]: no pair requests to accept! d’abr. 03 20:46:06 honk-a-tron kdeconnectd[1827]: kdeconnect.plugin.contacts: handleResponseVCards: Unable to open "/home/tux/.local/share/kpeoplevcard/kdeconnect-009186294aa5a9f4/3047i55a861> d’abr. 03 20:46:28 honk-a-tron kdeconnectd[1827]: kdeconnect.plugin.battery: No Primary Battery detected on this system.

(In reply to Mark de Wet from comment #0) > At the bottom of the Android app, below the menu for send > files etc it says "Status battery information not available. Is this a > permission error or something else? _That_ message, in the "Status" area at the bottom of the device details page in the Android app, is actually related to the **paired** device that's currently selected. Specifically, in this case, it would be the PC your phone is paired with. The Android app is (correctly) reporting that it isn't able to retrieve battery-level information from your Linux system. So, it's normal that you'd see that message, and it's unrelated to KDE Connect on your Linux system showing or not showing battery information for the phone. As long as the battery plugin is enabled on the phone (from that same screen, upper-right-corner menu, "Plugin settings", and then enable "Battery report"), you *should* see battery data for it on the Linux side. I don't know of any permission specific to reading the device's battery level, but the permission that would be most likely to affect that is the "Phone" permission. (Which also controls access to things like network signal levels, etc.) Additionally, you may need to go into your phone's preferences for the app (Android's Settings > Apps > KDE Connect), tap "Battery", and set the mode to at least "Optimized", possibly "Unrestricted", to ensure that the app is able to provide battery (and other) data request. The more recent the Android release, the more aggressively it will attempt to powersave the app, which can sometimes interfere with its ability to handle network requests from the Linux side. We had to disable reporting the battery on Windows due to a bug. Until we fix that, I think we just shouldn't sow any battery information instead of that message. I'll change that.
