Summary: Kdeconnect stops connecting to paired device
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Android 12.x
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major

DESCRIPTION
I have been dealing with an issue for long a time where it stops accepting
connections to paired devices after a couple of hours of using my PC.
The KDE Connect is still running in the system tray but it does not connect to
my device. Whats even strange is that even after opening the KDE app on PC, it
does not connect unless I manually click on the "Refresh" button or wait for a
minute on the app's main screen.
I have been trying to debug this in different scenarios and the issue seem to
happen (most of the time) when I lock my PC for an hour or so. When I comeback
and login, KDE Connect is still running but no longer accepts connections.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
run he kdeconnect in system tray for a couple of hours and connect to android
(fresh connection) and it won't connect to android.
OBSERVED RESULT
Android says Paired device is not reachable.
Windows kdeconnect says "Device disconnected"
EXPECTED RESULT
If kdeconnect is in system tray and we open the kdeconnect on android, it
should automatically connect to android. I have to manually open the windows
kdeconnect app again and click "refresh" button to connect to my android
device.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a
terminal window): Windows 11
KDE Plasma Version: ?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
