Summary: KDEConnect SMS stopped working after a system update
in Fedora 43.
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: desktop-application
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
KDEConnect No longer shows conversation listings nor shows incoming text
message notifications after a recent system update. All plugins are checked and
phone app permissions to access contacts and send and receive sms messages have
been given. The device still stays connected but no longer shows any sms chat
conversations. This stopped working on a Galaxy S10+ The device name also
doesn't appear. KDESMS shows "No conversations".
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install an update on Fedora 43.
2. Clear cache on KDEConnect Phone app.
3. Make sure to have a samsung galaxy s10+
OBSERVED RESULT
Clearing the cache and repairing devices worked. but then after an update the
phone's SMS connectivity stopped working.
EXPECTED RESULT
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 43 KDE 6.18.8-200 fc43.x86_64
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5
KDE Frameworks Version:
Qt Version:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I suspect either an update to both the KDEConnect phone app and KDEConnect app
on the Desktop caused an issue somewhere reading encrypted messages. the two
sms apps that are on the samsung phone that i tested with are Google Messages
and the default samsung messsages app. Neither chat logs are detected by
KDEConnect. This stopped working recently and all I can say is that the only
step that I remember causing things to break is a recent update. I even tried
downgrading the phone app to version from 1.35.1 to below 1.32.11 and still no
luck.
