Bug ID: 474142
Summary: No connection from Android with LAN Wi-Fi only
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: android-application
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: nervous-punis...@tuta.io
CC: andrew.g.r.hol...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Due to unusual malfunction on my ISP side (no access to Google servers,
including DNS 8.8.8.8 and all popular services like Search, YouTube, Maps,
etc.), I've discovered an area for probable improvement of KDE Connect's great
solution.
With ISP's “block” of Google, my phone recognized my home Wi-Fi network as
“connected, no Internet access”. This dependency on Google is obviously
Android's issue, but it caused KDE Connect to lose connection to Linux/KDE
Plasma. The local network itself was uninterrupted — both Android phone, and
GNU/Linux computer could ping each other from the terminal just fine.
I assume KDE Connect's solution doesn't really depend on public Internet
access, yet Android app seems to require it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Unplug cable from ISP in the router / disable WAN on the router.
2. Android device stays connected to the router by Wi-Fi, but informs of “no
Internet access”.
3. Lose KDE Connect's Android<>GNU/Linux link.
EXPECTED RESULT
Don't care about public Internet access as long the device is connected to the
network.
