1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I can never keep it connected

    Disable battery optimization for KDE Connect on Android. (If you're on Samsung you might be screwed. They did weird stuff with optimizations.)

    Samsung user here. I'm working with a Galaxy S22 Ultra, Galaxy Tab S7+ and a Dell XPS 9310 running Fedora. Set KDE Connect to never sleeping on the Samsung devices and it will work flawlessly. Transferring files, copy paste between devices, notifications etc just work for me. The only platform where I felt KDE Connect didn't work smoothly was my Windows gaming machine. I gave in and just used the Microsoft phone connect app for that machine but everything else it's KDE all the way.

    Holy god. Thank you.

    No like when I go to reconnect it when I want to transfer a file I need to go through the pairing process again because it somehow loses the pairing even though both devices still show each other as trusted.

    It stays open on my phone with battery optimizations disabled, but the Windows app needs to be manually started from the tray icon after waking from sleep/hibernate for it to work. I've even tried setting up a scheduled task to run the app when my PC wakes but it just doesn't work unless I open it from the tray or restart the whole app.

    You could create a Task to restart Apps that don't work after Sleep, Windows has an specific event for waking up from sleep (don't know the exact one right now though).

    I already had to do that to fix my Bluetooth driver in this exact scenario...

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

    I'll do that post my results here.
