    My phone and computer can occasionally see each other through KDE Connect. Never when I actually have a use for it though.

      Make sure you are on the right network. My phone kept switching wifi and it took me forever to troubleshoot it.

      You might have some background power saving mode enabled for the KDE app on your phone.

      I have issues with that too. Some of it might have to do with VPNs, but even with everything off, my devices sometimes still can’t see each other. I’m guessing I made a mistake configuring the network or something. Instead, I usually copy files from my phone via SMB, then access the same share from an NFS mount on my PC

      I have both my phone and my computers in tailscale and connected them with direct IP.

      So now my phone can connect to my computer all the time, wherever I am !

      Pretty useless but fun
