if I try to load a phone via USB without mounting it I often have the problem
that the dialog at all costs wants to connect the camera
every some seconds the dialog opens to ask if I want to download pictures using gwenview
that is really nerve-racking
in these situations there seems to be no other solution as mounting the phone
there should be an option "load only" as on the phone itself which stops this dialog
from popping up

Hi,
not entirely sure what you mean with "load a phone via USB", is it like charging
the phone's battery using power from the USB port?
I've just tried doing that, there is no dialog popping up every few seconds.
Isn't it that the USB connection is unstable and the PC recognizes the phone
being attached/detached every few seconds?

Anyway, if you're connecting via USB, this issue has nothing to do with
kdeconnect, which works via Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. Looking at the bug reported
in the KDE BTS, probably the Solid framework is the most appropriate target,
i.e. kf6-solid in Debian. But this really sounds like a connection issue to me:
you could also check that in the journal.

Kind regards
Marco

Hi,

yes – I meant charging the phone. Today I found the reason in the log files. The problem only occurs with an Xperia 10
VI. Other phones work well with the same caple.
