I would like to connect my Ubuntu phone and Ubuntu laptop, to make calls using my computer headset.
There are programs like HFP for Linux (https://nohands.sourceforge.net/) that might give me this hands free experience, but that is an unmaintained program with a lot of dependency issues when trying to install on 24.04, and not designed for Ubtouch as such. It would be really nice to make calls, write SMS, access address book etc from my laptop when my phone is connected. I'm also using GSConnect, but that has a limited feature set. It's not so important whether the connection is through USB or Bluetooth, as long as the functionality can be achieved.
Are there other options?

@Kjetil May be https://open-store.io/app/mirvncserver.abmyii could be useful in you use case.
Not sure it works with Noble though. -

@Kjetil Somebody has made a version of KDEConnect for UT recently. I'm not sure it covers all your uses, and I think it's totally unconfined, so use at your own risk, but could be worth looking into.

@libremax Thanks for pointing me to MirVNC. That is a neat option that resolves the issue with remote control the phone and writing SMS. I can not copy paste from the VNC window to my computer.
Sound does not work either. I have tried to connect my phone via Bluetooth, and the phone proclaims that the computer now is the audio device, but that seems to be more in theory than in practice. I cant get any sound from my phone out on my computer. Any idéas?
The goal is to use my computer as handsfree for my phone. -
@wally I think you mean the "UB connect" program that is listed as "KDE connect compatible" ? It have some features that works with GSConnect/KDE Connect, but hands free calling is not one of them. It's a good start though.
