SUMMARY
on KDE connect 1.34.4 for Android, trying to connect to Steam Deck (SteamOS
3.7.17 Builld 20251027.1), running KDECOnnect (kdeconnect.app 24.12.0), the
Android application cannot pair unless I enable MDNS device discovery that is
noting that I need to file a bug, or using the Beta bluetooth connection. I am
filing the bug due to the app asking me to in the settings. Also bluetooth
pairing is not always working, as I need to first pair with MDNS and then
enable Bluetooth to make it connect
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install KDE connect 1.34.4 for Android
2. Open Steam Deck
3. Conenct to the same network for both devices
4. Optional - enable Bluetooth
5. Nothing appears in the Android app
6. GO to kdeCOnnect app settings in android and enable MDNS
7. Refresh the Android app (drag down)
8. Steam deck appears
9. Connect to Steam Deck
10. Disable MDNS
11. Enable Bluetooth
12. refresh Android app (drag top down)
13. Steam deck appears
OBSERVED RESULT

EXPECTED RESULT
We should not have to change any settings and discover the steam deck by
default
