5 years ago Hi, and thanks for the debug log.
TL;DR What you want to do is enable the notification plugin on Android (and not disable the notification plugin in GSConnect). Also the contacts & sms plugin on Android (and leave them on in GSConnect).
One thing you may want to do, is open the SMS window and use that lovely hidden app-menu in the panel and select "Sync Contacts" and then "Sync Messages". Give it a few seconds, then close and re-open the window. Sometimes this doesn't work automatically, it's a known bug, and upstream is working on it.
Long Story
A bit of back story. In the past there was a SMS notification packet (which is the notification you see in Android) and an SMS event packet which is this:
{
"id": 1541765146299,
"type": "kdeconnect.telephony",
"body": {
"event": "sms",
"messageBody": "Hello",
"contactName": "My contact",
"phoneThumbnail": "",
"phoneNumber": "phoneNumber"
}
}If you've been using this for awhile, you may remember that sometimes resulted in duplicate notifications. Additionally, the SMS events are only sent once, when they happen, so if you miss them you don't get them.
The SMS notifications are persistent (until you close them on either side) and also carry a requestReplyId allowing you to "quick reply". They look something like this:
{
"id": 1541767166010,
"type": "kdeconnect.notification",
"body": {
"payloadHash": "ec6586b6d0c86cafae7808258924432a",
"requestReplyId": "f99ff93d-247e-4892-9d47-5895203b6532",
"id": "0|com.google.android.apps.messaging|0|com.google.android.apps.messaging:sms:1|10079",
"appName": "Messages",
"isClearable": true,
"ticker": "My contact: Hello",
"title": "My contact",
"text": "Hello",
"time": "1541767165992"
},
"payloadSize": 8082,
"payloadTransferInfo": {
"port": 1750
}
}As of the latest Android version (v1.10) SMS has it's own plugin and can provide history, as well as new messages; they sometimes come as a "digest" of all messages and look like this:
{
"id": 1541767163679,
"type": "kdeconnect.sms.messages",
"body": {
"messages": [
{
"address": "555-555-5555",
"body": "Hello",
"date": 1541767162018,
"type": 1, // <--- 0 or 1 (incoming/outgoing)
"read": 0,
"thread_id": 3, // <--- "conversation"
"_id": 277, // <--- message
"event": "sms"
}
],
"event": "batch_messages"
}
}The SMS plugin is still very new, which is why KDE Connect has not yet released their desktop-side version of it yet (I'm pretty sure) and may have a few bugs, but it's much easier to work with, determine the proper contact, and so on. It's okay if you receive a ton of these duplicates because GSConnect can figure that out.
There's some ongoing work in #288 you can follow if you want, where we are stripping out all the old flaky code and re-designing the UI. It might be awhile before that is released (or even merged), but git usually quite stable these days (instructions in the Wiki) and you can always file bugs against the master branch if you want.

Hi,
I really like this program, but I have a problem with incoming sms.
I've got the latest version installed on openSUSE Tumbleweed with gnome 3.30.1, but my sms notifications aren't getting through for a while now. I can't find what's wrong. Sms-plugin is activated on the desktop and my phone.
this is what I have in the debugger:
Also in the debug log, the incoming sms comes up 11 times, everytime with a different id.
What can I do to find the problem?
Thx,
Philip
