Devices not showing up in the settings page. Stuck on "Searching for devices"

Question

Devices not showing up in the settings page. Stuck on "Searching for devices"

Si-ris-B opened this issue 5 months ago · comments

Describe the bug

Devices are no longer displayed in the mobile settings page. It used to work flawlessly before but recently it only shows "searching for devices" without showing any devices. But I am still able to pair devices from the user menu, and transfer files, and utilize other features without any problems. However, I can't adjust settings for each device since the devices aren't shown in the settings page.

Steps to reproduce

Go to GSConnect settings page
Click on refresh devices
See "Searching for devices..."

Expected behavior

Connected Devices list should appear

GNOME Shell version

Notes

I have attempted to resolve this issue by completely uninstalling GSConnect with cache and resetting settings. But the problem still persists.

I just reinstalled my OS (Nobara 39) and since then I can't add/find devices, too. Clean install.
My both phones can find each other though.
