Bug ID: 457399
Summary: Unable to reconnect to PC when in background (Current
network isn't trusted, not broadcasting)
Product: kdeconnect

Platform: Android
OS: Unspecified
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install the applications and pair them.
2. Lock the screen of the Android device with KDE connect in the background,
and leave it there for some time (maybe ~ 30 minutes)
OBSERVED RESULT
The phone is disconnected from the PC and does not reconnect until KDE Connect
app is brought to the front by clicking on the notification.
EXPECTED RESULT
Disconnection is expected since there can be network suspension and restriction
in place, but reconnection should be attempted.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10
Windows KDE Connect: 22.04.1
Android: 12 (MIUI 13)
Android KDE Connect: 1.19.1 (F-Droid)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It seems that the Android app is trying to read the currently connected WiFi
SSID with APIs that require location permissions to work: I have seen multiple
occurrences of "KDE Connect has been denied location access in the background".
However, there is no option to give the app background location access, the
only available options are "Disallow", "Ask", and "Allow while using".
Since I opt to not trust all networks, it does not attempt to reconnect.
