KDEConnect is a powerful piece of connection software. Even when you only bounce off the Android client with your Androids (plural) you will enjoy the program. I can see that a of lot coding time (not difficult for a seasoned programmer) and debugging effort (can be tedious if you have no alpha / beta testers) has been put into the code.
KDE Connect celebrated 10 years in 2023, now its 12, so quite mature for software. Esp opensource.
Problems connecting Linux (or any other) often mean that your distro maintainer did something unexpected (IMHO stupid) by enabling an fw pointing to your LAN (sick!) with all incoming ports blocked.
- Blocked ports on LANs DONT enhance security, and give flase sense of superiour security.
- Not stating that explicitly on the installer of the fw (default base install!) means searching to and fro, since the fw pointing local will be checked rudimentary to last, wasting brain cycles
The moment fw err

The moment fw errors have been terminated (T2) your desktop client will work without a hitch, doing handshaking and later functions which you enable one by one.
Android client has accross the board an unfightable problem which is powermgmt regardless of flags put for 24/7 background operation. Esp cheap Xiaomis have that. The ones of EUR 175 (USD same) to EUR 1200, have less of that esp the near and full flagships.
Its unfightable untill you remove Android OS and replace with a flash on your phone.
Im having fun with Android client
