Description nili 2024-12-16 07:58:50 UTC

Once i connected my Android with a USB type-C cable the Android icon appeared on Dolphin places sidebar. Lately, these last few weeks it doesn't show to dolphin anymore.

I haven't made any changes except upgrading the distributor, also i haven't changed any settings on my phone. Current libmtp, "libmtp-udev 1.1.22", a previous version was fine and shown on my file manager.

If you need any additional information, please ask me.

I confirm the problem and that it is a KDE issue after an update. In KDE Plasma Version 6.2.4, KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0, and Qt Version 6.8.0, the system detects that the mobile phone is connected when plugged in by cable and notifies it. However, it does NOT appear listed in the connected devices list in Dolphin. 
If you click on the KDE notification in the "Open with Dolphin" option, Dolphin opens and becomes "frozen."

On another machine that I have more updated (the version that corresponds to Tumbleweed from last week), Dolphin does show the device, but after accessing it, Dolphin always ends up freezing.

On both machines, the file manager "Caja," however, perfectly detects the device (as Dolphin used to do) and allows navigation through the content of my mobile without any problem.
