Tbh it’s kind of a terrible app. I can never keep it connected and the UX is just painful. The most useful feature is transferring files, but when uploading to my PC the dialog box always closes itself before I can see where the file went.
You can try transferring files through MEGA. Its parallel synchronization is really fast.
I’m Kim Dotcom and I approve of this message.
For real though, I use mega for everything. I fucking love it.
Or try to come at the problem from the other angle and use something like tailscale to get around any potential networking issues.
Then use any peer-to-peer transfer app or tailscale’s own file transfer tool and tailscale will ensure the fastest route between the devices no matter where they are physically located.

Disable battery optimization for KDE Connect on Android. (If you’re on Samsung you might be screwed. They did weird stuff with optimizations.)
Edit: Related: https://dontkillmyapp.com/
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…
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.
Yeah thanks tips. I figured that out a while ago after going through way more trouble that I should have had to. Next time I need to use it there’s a good chance I’ll forget again and start the whole process all over because some dev thought an auto closing dialog that stays up for a fraction of a second was a good idea.
Google Play
Is that like Aurora Store for google cucks?
I had no idea what that was, but I just installed it off F-Droid and it looks sick
This is why I like Lemmy. You scroll through it and suddenly learn about neat free software you’ve never heard of, unlike Reddit where you would scroll through it and learn a new slur for an ethnic group you’ve never heard of.
Better to avoid 3 k’s where possible.
Fdroid: am I a joke to you?
I wonder when there will be a Windows client for KDE Connect. I really miss it at work.

I am sorry, but it’s been in Microsoft store for a while now. There’s also offline installer on the download page.

I uh I have good news
