_That_ message, in the "Status" area at the bottom of the device details page
in the Android app, is actually related to the **paired** device that's
currently selected. Specifically, in this case, it would be the PC your phone
is paired with. The Android app is (correctly) reporting that it isn't able to
retrieve battery-level information from your Linux system.
So, it's normal that you'd see that message, and it's unrelated to KDE Connect
on your Linux system showing or not showing battery information for the phone.
As long as the battery plugin is enabled on the phone (from that same screen,
upper-right-corner menu, "Plugin settings", and then enable "Battery report"),
you *should* see battery data for it on the Linux side.
I don't know of any permission specific to reading the device's battery level,
but the permission that would be most likely to affect that is the "Phone"
permission. (Which also controls access to things like network signal levels,
etc.)
Additionally, you may need to go into your phone's preferences for the app
(Android's Settings > Apps > KDE Connect), tap "Battery", and set the mode to
at least "Optimized", possibly "Unrestricted", to ensure that the app is able
to provide battery (and other) data request. The more recent the Android
release, the more aggressively it will attempt to powersave the app, which can
sometimes interfere with its ability to handle network requests from the Linux
side.
