So is there any progress on this becoming stable? Thanks to the reliance on UDP
broadcasts I can't use kdeconnect at work, and bluetooth would largely solve
that, so I've been anxiously awaiting this!

I actually was able to implement a read-only FUSE filesystem (writing will take
some work), but it's very buggy/rough (in particular, you may need to do manual
cleanup after exiting KDE Connect on the desktop side).

I don't know if that's possible under Android but just for reference: Apple’s
Continuity negotiates things via Bluetooth LE but for actual file transfers
etc. is opens an Ad-hoc WiFi network.

--- Comment #19 from Albert Vaca  ---
We merged the changes that Saikrishna made to add support for Bluetooth to the
master branch of both the Android and the desktop apps. It still needs
polishing and it's not compiled by default, but if you want to give it a try
you can compile your own KDE Connect and enable it.

To enable it in Android: Uncomment the BLUETOOTH permissions in the
AndroidManifest.xml and the line 'linkProviders.add(new
BluetoothLinkProvider(this));' in BackgroundService.java

To enable it on the desktop: Set the CMake flag BLUETOOTH_ENABLED to ON.

Feedback and patches welcome!

In the latest code, connecting via Bluetooth works (albeit there maybe a crash
due to a timing issue (fix submitted) and it may take a while for some reason),
sending and receiving messages via Bluetooth works, and sending from Android to
KDE works, but the KDE side doesn't see the transfer as successful for some
reason.

The bluetooth code on the desktop side and the code on the Android side is
using different protocol versions, and therefore syncing is not possible. Can
you merge/rebase the code on both sides to include the changes made on the
master branches?

For now, you can workaround this missing feature, by enabling network sharing
on you phone (enable hotspot via bluetooth). This will give you an networkstack
on the bluetooth connection.

For the record, remote filesystem browsing will not work over the bluetooth
backend because it uses SSHFS, which uses an IP network. It should be possible
to implement FUSE in kdeconnect and transfer file information and payloads
through kdeconnect itself.

There is a "bluetooth" branch in git developed by Saikrishna Arcot with this
kind of link implemented. I had to adapt it to the current kdeconnect API but
it should work. I haven't been able to test it myself because I think my
computer bluetooth is not properly set up, but you might want to give it a try
and provide feedback. It would be nice if you can try it connecting two PCs
between them and two phones between them so we can know any platform-specific
issues.

This is, indeed, a must-have for the "No LAN access" policy places and I wanted
it for ages (since I've known about kde-connect). However, the status of the
bluetooth KDE stack is really in a poor state...

Yes, I would love to add my contribution (I could afford 30 USD) to have this
implemented at last. 
It would make my life easier at work, where I cannot have my smartphone and my
computer connected to the same wifi.

Albert,

Would it help if I put a small bounty on bluetooth support?  I don't have a lot
of money, but I'd be willing to pay 15 USD if this were implemented - maybe
there are others willing to donate as well.  Let me know.

Best,
Garland

Why would we not want it? With currently 81 votes, it is the most wanted new
feature according to this bug tracker. Only bug 339367 has more votes. Or are
you only refering to the developers not wanting this?

The lack of this feature is a deal breaker for many potential users, including
me. Is there any workaround to establish a connection between desktop computers
in restricted LANs and a smartphone? Will there be one?

Hi Denis, 

We know this is important, but in the short term we are prioritizing other
features. The reality is that neither Aleix nor me (currently, the two main
developers) are Bluetooth users, but that doesn't mean that we think this is
not a useful feature for some users. That's why the bug is not closed :)
