KDE Connect – Connect to your Android phone in Linux

Can this work over Bluetooth?

How did you share your mobile screen ??? I want to know that.

Did I miss it, or did you forget to mention the firewall issue to detect the two devices

What's best it can be also be downloaded on Windows.

Is there any way to have the screen view and control of Android in Linux PC

Found what I need to get through firewal
In Fedora 31 KDE spin these commands worked for me:


sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=1714-1764/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=1714-1764/udp
sudo systemctl restart firewalld.service

I cant find my pc. Im using Fedor 31 Plasma. I have kde connected. not sure how the network is suposed to be named as it is localhost.localdomain

Caught myself curious about that 1716 port and what a delight was that

Now the important question. Does KDE Connect work well in other desktop environments (eg Cinnamon)?

What theme do you use?

Can you connect to your phone if it doesn't have wifi enabled?

Yet... two years later, it's still flakier than Loretta Lynn's pie crust. In principal, really cool - in practice, there are issues. I've attempted to use this on two phones, one laptop and two desktops. I can connect - sometimes I can browse or transfer files for a minute or so - occasionally other features like mouse control from the phone will work - but then something will hiccup, the phone will disappear from the paired devices, or it will just freeze.


If I need to transfer files, I've had great luck with 'Android File Transfer (mtp)' - needs no app on the phone, and has an interface fresh out of Windows 3.1, and you're stuck with USB - but it works. KDEConnect, like so many KDE projects, is long on features - and not as solid as it might be underneath the chassis.

hello, i can play games using mouse and keyboard? type apowermirror? tks.

i have sync my contacts but cannot see them, how do i show them

Partially works. I can get notifications, but cannot answer messages, look at files, etc.

you are a lifesaver thank you! Also to y'all I had some trouble with this visit their help page and run some random commands that's how I got mine to work.

can i install on gnome environment?

Please Make a Video where you help us fix our problems with it like what do you do when both your devices don't show up?

Thanks plz make vid

One of the most commonly-documented fact about kdeconnect (on the WWW) is, that its file-sharing system just doesn't work. It's unfortunate that you chose to use this video, just to gloat that the software works for you. It might have been better if you had posted something useful, which might have shown other people how to get this to work. -Plasma 5.8 .
