Yes, I opened ports 1714-1764 tcp & udp
I take it this exerpt from netstat shows that port 1714 at least is open:

I just disabled iptables after reading some earlier comments of yours,
but this did not seem to have any effect.

The KDE Connect window on my laptop said that it was paired to the phone;
but when I unpaired it I was not able to pair it again -
I got the message "Error trying to pair: Device not reachable"
(When I re-booted the laptop KDE Connect said it was paired to the phone.)

I also tried uninstalling and re-installing KDE Connect on the phone,
but this did not seem to have any effect.

I notice that when I run "sudo systemctl status firewalld" I get the message
  "ERROR: UNKNOWN_INTERFACE: 'wlp3s0' is not in any zone".
I'm not sure if this is relevant?
