F-Droid is the more valuable app store anyway. I always check there before Google Play.
Forged google play, use the aurora store instead
You guys are checking Google Play?
Check Neo Store. It is an alternative front end to F-droid and has been way less buggy for me. Though to be fair just yesterday it ate up 20% of my battery life due to not being able to sync a repo (I think), but that hasn't happened before.

The first time it paused my YouTube video inside Firefox when a call came in on my phone, it blew my mind. And then when the call ended, it just casually resumed the video. I love it. That, the clipboard syncing and easy sharing of files between devices make it absolutely awesome to have.
Especially the file sharing for me. I was previously using USB cable, but during large transfers it tends to just randomly disconnect (thanks MTP). Over WiFi I get faster transfer speeds and it doesn't keep disconnecting.
Although yes, theoretically I could move .tar archive or individual files over WiFi using netcat and Termux, but that's not the most elegant solution. ~~Also for some reason netcat is somewhat broken on Manjaro.~~ ~~Ok, the issue isn't with nc.~~ Ok (2) it is netcat. I just added a 2nd layer of issues that made me think it's not.
Edit 3: Ok. MAYBE netcat. I can see incoming connection in Wireshark and it sends back TCP RST. Edit 4: Tried with UDP, I can see the received text in Wireshark, netcat drank methanol.
I've always used python3 -m http.server to get files from PC->phone.
For phone -> PC I use a library called droopy.py

Happy to stumble across this meme. I didn't know KDE Connect was a thing
Well as one of today's lucky 10,000, let me tell you it's not dependent on the KDE/Android combo. There are versions for Windows, macOS, and iOS (although some functionality is missing).

And plenty of banking apps consider it as a security threat. π
"It's so good that other apps are threatened merely by its presence"
Android auto copies numbers in SMS text messages to the clipboard, so any apps capable of monitoring the clipboard are suspect for one time security pin harversting.
Happens quite a lot in my country (Malaysia). People, especially the older ones, install apps form unknown source because their WhatsApp/WeChat friends shared them, then their online banking access got compromised, savings account emptied out, and there's nothing the banks can do because on their record, its the account holder doing the transfer.
Some banks now moved away from SMS and use dedicated app for this purpose now.

KDE Connect is awesome. I've been using it since it first came out (I think it was a GSoC project) with a variety of phones, and am 100% happy with it.
BTW, about the naming, KDE stopped the K thing around KDE 4, with apps such as Cantor.

Fdroid: am I a joke to you?
It's one of the reasons my next phone will be Android (with a non-spying custom ROM) instead of an iPhone. Although KDE Connect is already surprisingly powerful on the latter given the limitations of the platform.
The sheer amount of utility Connect has on iOS is insane. Itβs starting to compete with handoff and iCloud sharing with how many features theyβre recreating.
Oh hehe, I had seen KDE connect here and there but never really tried it myself, how are you using it?? What good things does it bring to your lives? :)
It makes sharing files between your PC and phone super easy. And if you set it up right, you can even browse your entire phone's filesystem from your PC as well. Great if you take a lot of photos or download a lot of memes on your phone and want to quickly offload them to your computer. It also lets you play and pause media from your phone, so if you're playing music or watching a movie on your PC and need to pause while AFK, then it comes in pretty handy. Not only that, but it also has a presentation remote and can turn your phone's touchscreen into a trackpad and keyboard; great for HTPCs.
Those are just the features I use, it has way more than that. imho I think it might have too many features lmao
EDIT: Also, how could I forget about the feature that I mainly use KDEC for, the battery indicator plugin. It lets you monitor your phone's battery from your computer.

I use it to share files between devices. I can also share urls between devices. Clipboard history is automatically synced between devices.
I can also use it find my phone if I misplace it somewhere.
It is also possible to run custom commands. You can shut down or restart your pc from your phone. My favourite is the screenshot command, after the screenshot is captured, it is automatically transferred to my phone. A really handy feature.
There is more. You can also play pause and control the volume of a video playing on your phone or on your laptop from the connect app. Your device can even be used as a touchpad.

I have a cheap "remote" for my PC, so I rarely use it for media or couch watching, BUT
Take ~50 photos
Get home
Two or three taps
Now they're all on my PC.
I use syncthing for that, don't even need any taps after it's set up. Did I mention I love syncthing? Because I love syncthing.
Could you clap your hands to confirm you really love it?
Syncthing knows I love it, it needs no proof.

It's so good! Installed it once to try it and it never left my laptop. When they added the gyro mouse sensor it got even better - controlling my kodi mediacenter with it is just amazing like that. Also unlocking the screensaver without typing my password, fast even using over VPN etc...its just perfect.
Love that app
I live KDE connect, especially the filesystem share (it uses sshfs in the background).
And yes, it should have been called KDE Konnect π€£
KDE connect worked nicely on my iphone for awhile but now I can't get it to work. But yeah it is pretty cool.

I wonder when there will be a Windows client for KDE Connect. I really miss it at work.
I am sorry, but it's been in Microsoft store for a while now. There's also offline installer on the download page.
Edit: Based on archive.org, at least since April 2020.
I suggest the offline installer over the Microsoft Store version.
The option to share files via right click > "Send to" seen below doesn't appear for me using the Microsoft Store version.

I have used KDE Connect a couple of times (when I used Kubuntu), and always uninstall it because it provides nothing of value to me. I rather just reach for my phone that's already on my desk.
Pause/play/skip for music from the other room is nice, auto mute, phone notifications on desktop, etc... Even with my phone next to me, some features are still useful.
