Description Adam Toth 2025-03-12 11:17:20 UTC
SUMMARY

KDE Connect has stopped being able to detect any of my other devices, which include:
* Another Android device running Android 14
* A Windows 11 PC
* A Steam Deck running whatever fork of Arch Linux it is based on

My other Android device keeps popping up in the devices list for a split second  during which  if I am fast enough, I can tap on it, only to be told that the device is unreachable.

The Steam Deck can see both the Windows PC and other Android device, while the PC and Android device can't see eachother at all. This Android device also could never see my Windows PC, but losing access to the other two happened recently.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Android 13
KDE Connect v1.33.1
