Me too, can't get to see why, the ports of both the phone and the pc are  
definitely open but the devices just don't see each other in the  
application. I suspect there's something wrong with the broadcast  
messages. I'm not a kde-connect developer though.

Anyway, the strange thing is, there is no difference between the Fedora  
package and the upstream package and it seems the upstream devs are using  
it just fine...
