It's a great utility. I use mine with WiFi, so no bluetooth is needed. As long as your computer is on the same network as your phone they will automatically pick each other up.<br>
<br>
My favorite features are the shared clipboard and being able to transfer files back and forth via KIO.<br>
<br>
I use the shared clipboard all the time when I need to include a URL in a text message. It's a lot easier to use a real computer to find things than to poke around on my phone trying to find a page.<br>
<br>
There is also a multimedia controller that works well, so that you can remote control your media players with your phone.<br>

I don't have access to Gnome so I don't know if this works in Gnome or<br>
not...<br>
<br>
Have any of you heard of or used KDE Connect?<br>
<br>
You must have bluetooth on your laptop/desktop for this to work.<br>
kdeconnect is a small applet that runs in the kde panel and has an app<br>
that installs on your android phone. Once the two devices have paired<br>
you get special communications back and forth between the devices.<br>
<br>
Example: When my phone rings and I happen to be listening to music or<br>
watching something on my computer, my volume mutes, so it does not<br>
interfere with my phone call.<br>
<br>
When someone texts me I get alerts on my desktop, which is awesome<br>
because I often have my phone on vibrate.<br>
<br>
I just found this cool little utility, though it's been out for some<br>
time and I just had to share it.<br>
<br>
Linux rocks!<br>
