When my computer goes to sleep (for example if I am away for a while) and I come back and wake it, the KDE Connect service is still running but it has disconnected from the phone. The only way to get them to connect is to restart the service from System Settings > Startup And Shutdown > Service Manager. Sometimes I also have to unpair from KDE and then send a pair request from the phone to get them to work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect phone and computer using KDE Connect 2. Put computer to sleep/let it sleep on its own 3. Wake computer 4. Attempt to use KDE Connect Actual Results: KDE Connect cannot see the phone from the computer, and the phone thinks it is still paired to the computer but is unable to use any features. Expected Results: The service should be able to pair the devices on its own when the computer wakes up openSUSE 13.1 KDE 4.13 from KDE:Current and KDE:Extra repos Phone is Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830) running 4.1.1 rom
It seems this also occurs when you log out of the computer and then back in.
for me I have to reconnect each time I reboot the computer, although the session is still active in the app.
It seems we are experiencing similar issues then. I am marking this as major because any idle time on the computer/rebooting (like a kernel update) and the connection is ruined which takes quite a bit away from the experience.
Can anybody confirm if this still happens in the latest version from git master? I think it should be fixed there now.
sure, but where can i find the git repository? I can't seem to find a link in your log or via google
In the KDE projects page, this is the link: https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/base/kdeconnect-kde/repository
I did a Cmake make make install re-added the plasmoid to the desktop connected my phone and rebootet. it did not automatically reconnect. My computer moved to the "remembered devices" list again (which gets longer with every reconnect/reboot) I reconnected manually send the computer in sleep mode this time the connection staced active in the app, even with the computer in sleep. after waking the computer up and logging in I am still connected to the app. I then tried the re-boot again. as soon as I hit the shutdown button in kde, the connection in the app disappears and my computer name moves to the "remebered devices" list. after rebooting a new entry with my computer name appears under not connected devices and the entry under remembered devices stays there. I have to manually reconnect again.
I updated from the KDE repos on opensuse and it seems to have been fixed now. I reboot and the connection still exists. Nice work!
after the latest update from the repository it seems to work for me, too. :)
This still happens when the phone is unavailable. (E.g. when it’s not online.) When it comes back online, it should automatically reconnect. But it doesn’t.
