ClipBoard sharing only works if the KDEConnect app is focused, and manually pushed (to laptop)
smileBeda opened this issue · comments
Describe the bug
I enabled (both ways) Clicpboard share, and it works, but only after i "focus" into the KDEConnect app (for every copy-paste from laptop), and only if I explicitly "push" from mobile to laptop.
If I do not focus on the KDEConnect app, it won't pull the clipboard from laptop.
If I do not explicitly push from mobile, it wont' push to laptop at all.
Is this expected? If so, can it be avoided?
Steps to reproduce
From Laptop to Phone
- copy on laptop
- on mobile, bring KDEConnect into focus (not only open, but look at the app)
- switch to another app where into I want to paste
- paste
From phone to laptopLaptop
- copy on phone
- explicitly
Push local clipboardin KDEConnect app - paste on mac
Expected behavior
Clipboard push and pull automatic. Ideally, even with closed app. Expectedly without having to focus on app/explicitly push from mobile.

Notes
I have all iPhone permissions on for clipboard/paste and the KDEConnect app.
Also all settings to use clipboard sync are on.
Both of those are Android limitations.
You have to explicitly push from mobile, it's a security feature of Android and there's no way around it.
Your kdeconnect app might be being killed in the background, so maybe try excluding it from battery optimisations. Instructions for that vary by phone model somewhat, so try to search online for "disable battery optimization Samsung/oneplus/whatever"
In any case, nothing to be done to help from gsconnect side
I see… the only is I’m not using android 😅
I’ll assume this is just embossed in the app?
(Because in iOS it’s definitely possible to push without explicit consent, pasteapp does it for example. You control it either on each paste with a pop up prompt or globally in a iOS setting for that app/paste in general)
Thus iOS app could be modified to allow it, no doubt.
Thanks for the hint about power control, I think this could be indeed a reason, since iOS does quite aggressive power saving
If your device has ROOT, you can use this Magisk module: Riru-ClipboardWhitelist, it can allow apps to access the clipboard in the background on Android 10+.
As mentioned, it’s an iPhone - and iPhones have settings for this (in other apps, not in gconnect)
