KDE Connect

[stefwe]

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

@demokrit: Your description is much better, thanks for this...

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]

Does KDE Connect (pc version) support ARM then...??

[guru]

@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.

[doniks]

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.

[stefwe]

@vehi_mv I don't try to install because of the same reason you write sorry i don't know if it works or not.

There is a new version for this for SailfishOS:
https://openrepos.net/content/r1tschy/sailfish-connect
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
