Subject: Re: kde connect and pos phone
If I'm having this problem and you are, then others are also.  I read a
few days ago that an update has been released.  While I was typing this,
I checked my old phone.  This feature worked on it. Now it doesn't.  I
just had the bad luck to notice it soon after a new release came out. 
I'll wait for developers to notice and fix it.
