Axel, I remember having a conversation with you back when it happened. I believe we figured out a solution. IIRC, it was due to an installation path error. Anyway, please get back if you still have this issue and want to pursue it more.
Created attachment 183465 [details] axel_keller.vcf Meanwhile I discarded kdeconnect totally, sorry, and made my own app MyPhoneManager. regards *Axel Keller* Am 22.07.25 um 23:08 schrieb Simon Redman: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=461865 Simon Redman <simon@ergotech.com> [1] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|--- |WAITINGFORINFO Status|REPORTED |NEEDSINFO --- Comment #2 from Simon Redman <simon@ergotech.com> [1] --- Axel, I remember having a conversation with you back when it happened.
