        I'd love to see a client for ubuntu phone.

        On my laptop i can see information(battery, sms, incoming calls or messages) from my android device.

        Also file transfer over wifi is simple.

            Nop, there are a lot of videos on youtube.

            You need to install the program on your device(phone&pc).
            On the desktop pc you get a icon in the status bar. Here you can open the folder structer from the phone or you can see battery status.
            Is there a incoming call you see a pop up on the desktop. If you don't find your device, you can start a "ping"
            After that your mobile phone is making beep beep beep

              @guru KDEconnect is an extremely cool app to bridge all your devices. Here is the github repo and KDE community wiki entry. In just a few words:

              1. Link your PCs, Smartphones, Laptops via Wifi or Bluetooth
              2. Share content (send files, share clipboard) encrypted and with nautilus (filemanager) support
              3. Some nifty features for the smartphone:
                • Find my phone (click on desktop and phone will ring)
                • See notifcations, take calls, answer on messager on desktop
                • Send CLI commands/touchscreen/keyboard events to desktop
                • See phone status (battery) on desktop

              Sorry for redundancy, Stefan already mentioned a few of these, i'm just a big fan of this app and would love to see it on UT

                  Yeah! KDE Connect i very useful - Perfect when we can't connect our phone to an external monitor.

                    Someone could try to apt install it. It can be paired from the command line

                        @SweDennis As I understand the Wiki, there is some KDE plasma application to be installed or compiled from sources (as I do in FreeBSD) and some app for Android on arm and some protocol between the two.

                          apt install DOES offer it so I guess it has at least been COMPILED for arm. It wants to pull in some 250 mb of dependencies though 😛 I didn't try that. Would have to make some space for it first.

                            good idea to check apt. it's not normal in my android life to install with apt 😉

                            i will try to install this at the weekend and try to pair the device with my desktop

                              Hi. Have you been able to connect your phone with kdeconnect?

                              I would like to try, but apt-get wants to install alot of kde packages.
                              No problem if it works.

                                  There is a new version for this for SailfishOS:

                                  https://github.com/R1tschY/harbour-sailfishconnect

                                  I hope this can be ported?

                                    Has there been any update on this? I do not see the KDE connect software in the OpenStore
