Hyperion Entertainment Message Boards

The other day I happened to have KDE Connect on and got text messages on my Fienix screen. They lasted long enough for me to read them and later I noticed that they were listed across the bottom panel, and I could click them up again.
Since then I have made it a point to be connected whenever running fienix, but any text messages that have popped up have vanished before I had a chance to read them, and no sign of anything listed in the bottom panel. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Something I haven't set properly?

I believe there should be an indicator icon in the upper-right corner of the screen for KDE Connect SMS Messages.

I go to Menu > Internet and click on KDE Connect Indicator after logging on. Eventually a little rectangular icon with a whitish middle pops up between the loudspeaker icon and the two-monitor internet icon. If I put the mouse arrow over it, it says "KDE Connect/One device connected." Clicking LMB on it has no effect; RMB gets me the choice of the Configure window or Browse device/Ring device/Send File. "Browse device" has no discernible result. "Ring device" can be quite noisy if you haven't left your phone somewhere else. "Send file" tested OK.

I did have the messages from my phone stick around, listed in the bottom panel one more time. Next time I'll make a point of recording which ones stuck and see if that is a clue to the intermittence.
