opensuse leap 42.2 linux kdeconnect 1.0.3 android kdeconnect 1.6.5 Samsung s2 plus android 7.1.2 Samsung s7 android 7.0 android kdeconnect is not battery optimized. my smartphone is permanently in its dock station thus never stops. in the evening i stop my pc in the morning i start my pc i open a kde session then kdeconnect is not in the systray in kdeconnect settings my smartphone is not green if i refresh then my smartphone stays gray if i take in hands my smartphone then kdeconnect is in the systray
android kdeconnect is battery optimized => same problem
kde apps 17.12 kde framework 5.41 plasma 5.11.4 i did this experiment: i disable disconnect pc from network by unplugging the ethernet cable then kdeconnect icon disappears from systray then i connect pc to network by plugging the ethernet cable then kdeconnect icon does not appear in systray i assume the device discovering feature of keconnect is not launched after lan reconnecting or get a bug. also manual "refresh" does not work.
kde app 18.12.2 kde plasma 5.15.2 kde framework 5.55.0 qt 5.12.1 kde kdeconnect 1.3.3 android kdeconnect 1.10.1

kdeconnect-kde 1.3.4 kdeconnect-android 1.12.6 - Samsung S2 Plus, lineageos 14.1 (android 7.1.1) when opening a kde session then kdeconnect-kde connects to S2 - Samsung S7 (android 8.0) when opening a kde session then kdeconnect-kde does not connect to S7 i must take in my hand the S7 according to connect S7 and PC
Same problem on Android 9, one OnePlus. This Kdeconnect stops working some minutes after the phone locks... I removed any battery optimisation for the app, but this does not help.
A complement for : - does not connect during kde session opening - does not stay connected In PC, I use "Messages.web.com" to send and receive SMS's. With Chrome, we can install this site as an application in PC We can pair this application to the Google android application "Messages". The application in PC uses via Wi-Fi the application in Android to send/receive SMS's. Even if smartphone is in sleep mode "Messages" in PC stays connected. Then it is not a smartphone problem: Android version or model. I assume kde kdeconnect does not use the good way to connect and to stay connected.
KDE Connect used to auto connect, but it doesn't auto connect anymore. My desktop runs 24/7. In the past when as soon as I connect to wifi on the phone I will get a notification on desktop from KDE Connect to say my phone has connected. But now, for the past maybe 18-24 months, it has stopped doing that. Now every time I want it to connect to the phone I have to go into KDE Connect Settings. Once in the settings then: - sometimes the phone will "magically" be shown as connected and then I can just click "Close" - sometimes I have to use the "Refresh" button (maybe more than once) before the phone will be shown as connected and then I can click "Close" On the phone, battery optimisation etc is disabled for KDE Connect. This is confirmed by the fact when phone is on standby I still get notifications going both ways Desktop <-> Phone. Both ways, because eg if I pause a media player on desktop, it sends a notification to the phone, phone displays notification and same notification also pops up on desktop. One thing I have noticed is that for KDE Connect to make the initial connection to the phone, the phone has to be out of standby - it doesn't have to be unlocked, eg if phone is in "enter PIN" screen, I can go to KDE Connect Settings to connect to it. Once connected phone can be in standby and notifications etc will continue to work normally.
Same with iPhone, I think there is also a problem that phone-app doesn't start itself automatically.
The problem is still there in version 23.08.3. If my device is connected to the PC during login, then KDE connect is refreshed and it gets connected. If I disconnect & reconnect my phone (by disconnecting WiFi), then it does not get connected automatically. Then I need to manually invoke the command "kdeconnect-cli --refresh" in order to connect. I think this problem can be fixed by continuously monitoring the connection status and refreshing the devices after specific intervals.
