SUMMARY This last times it happens very often: kdeconnect on Neon often doesn't see KDE connect on Android, so Pc and smartphone doesn't communicate via KDEconnect STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. start a KDE Neon session 2. start Android 3. they don't see each other OBSERVED RESULT they don't see each other, even already paired. And even after deleting .config/kdeconnect folder EXPECTED RESULT they should recognize each other SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Neon (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.65.0 Qt Version: 5.13.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
more exactly: "they *often* don't see each other"
Recently I had to format my smartphone. Maybe this can explain this strange behavior? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling KDEconnect on Smartphone, but nothing to do...
Same behavior in different PC (with KDE Neon, last release): kdeconnect only works if 1) I open the smartphone and 2) I at the same time do a refresh (kdeconnect-cli --refresh). When I go out and then I return the connection is lost (which is normal) but to reactivate it, it is not enough that you open the smartphone: I have to refresh the PC. Disistalled e reinstalled several times bot on smartphone and on PC.
with my new smnartphone and (maybe) new kdeconnect releases (both on smartphone and PC Linux) this issue is solved!
