Launch KDE Connect on Android. You should see the hostname of your KDE desktop listed under "Not paired devices".
I do not see my desktop, or anything else, listed.
Wireshark shows that the phone sends an identifying packet, but I don't see any evidence that the laptop sends anything.
As hinted in the other followup, the firewall is getting in the way.
I usually just set the network to the "trusted" zone (though I'm having trouble getting kde-connect to actually do anything since upgrading the phone to 0.6)

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...

How can you be so sure, if it is not working for you? Actually, I don't have firewalld running on my laptop, and shorewall on my server seems to allow all communication on my local LAN.

I've checked again, and my phone sends one UDP packet to port 1714. This port does not seem to be open on my laptop: [tim@rose ~]$ sudo nmap -sU 127.0.0.1 shows some UDP ports open on my LAP (eg dhcp, ntp) but not this one. But I am able to telnet this port: [tim@rose ~]$ telnet 127.0.0.1 1714 Connected to 127.0.0.1.
In fact I don't see any evidence that clicking on the KDE Connect icon (in System Settings) has any effect at all, eg in /var/log/messages . Is one meant to do anything apart from click on this icon (and re-start KDE Connect on the phone)?

What does this show on the desktop?

Looks like what I have and I can pair my Nexus 5. Let's look at your iptable rules again.
iptables -L -nv
And for a quick test does it work when you put in this rule?
iptables -I INPUT -j ACCEPT
That will allow everything of course but if it works you know that iptable rules are the issue.

Mea culpa. I was running firewalld as well as the old iptables/system-config-firewall. (I sort of thought installing firewalld would disable the old system, which I think I am still using on this laptop because I have always upgraded Fedora on it.)
Now I've got phone and laptop paired, and I shall read the documentation to see where to go from here.
Thanks for your - and others' - efforts to put me on the right path.
