SUMMARY if i try to manually connect my p PC to the smartphone, this fails. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. click on the bluetooth icon 2. click on "connect" 3. OBSERVED RESULT After a long delay i get a message saying nothing. only the bluetooth address is displayed EXPECTED RESULT the PC is connected for "audio" and "telephone" SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION A very interesting experiment : first step I try to connect the PC to the Bluetooth network of the phone (PAN) via networkmanager plasmoid. Result : failure because the Pan is not enabled at the phone second step I try to connect to the Bluetooth "telephone" and "audio" protocol via bluedevil plasmoid result : success ! If we don't do the first step, the second step fails. Is there something missing in the bluedevil dialog for connecting to the "telephone" and "audio" protocol ?

Can you attach a screenshot of the message saying nothing?

Thanks for the info.
Sorry we were not able to get to this bug report yet! Can I ask you if the issue is still happening in Plasma 6.3.4 or newer? Thanks a lot!

Can you try pairing your device through command line with bluetoothctl? This will let us know if there's an underlying system problem. Instructions to connect using bluetoothctl: 1. `sudo systemctl restart bluetooth` 2. `bluetoothctl` 3. `scan on` 4. Write down the MAC for the device: `[bluetooth]# [NEW] Device 88:C9:XXXXXX Device-name 5. `connect <MAC>` 6. `quit` Please reply with your results. Thanks.

Thanks for the logs, those are helpful. It looks like you tried to connect to the smartphone, and nothing happened, so you tried a second time and got the error that an attempt was already in progress. I also see a lot of chatter from the bluetooth controller on your system, which appears to be producing an unusual amount of change events. This looks like a problem in the bluetooth stack, that Plasma isn't responsible for. Typically this is an issue with the device definition that gets parsed by upstream code; please report to https://github.com/bluez/bluez/issues. Thanks! Also, the problem with the notification that says nothing other than the phone's identifier is all that bluetoothctl is providing to Plasma, so that's all that's in the message. Something actionable for KDE would be to provide a more useful message when the bluetooth connect event produces no information, along the lines of "Failed to connect to <device name and ID>. The bluetooth system failed to provide a reason". I'm sure the developers can come up with something useful here.
