If you mean KDE connect, yes I have that installed also.
This black screen what you have this is menu but i don't know why is black maybe if you have in phone black fonts then you don't see them.
By the way, a different issue I encountered is that Zorin connect only connect with my phone through Wifi.
Having my phone connect as a mobile hotspot and using mobile data, I am unable use Zorin connect, or do I have to use some special settings.
In firewall you must settings what ports try connected with your mobile.
Yes, I blacked out my apps, using gimp because I don't want people to see what kinda obscure apps I have installed, lol.
plug-in settings in mobile maybee blocking some function this Zorin connect or kde.
So i checked the fonts in Zorin connect are black that why you see all black screen. On white background propably you will see some settings. On kde the background is black but fonts are white.
Diffrents mobiles have diffrents settings.
I have no different setting then the ones I'm using connected through WIFI.
On my PC I have GUFW app installed but when I connect Zorin to my phone I have this disabled. So that should not be the problem.
maybe here you find some answears.
NO, bourne my phone has no problems connecting with Zorin using USB. With USB connection everything is okay and my phone is up to date I receive update almost every month.
KDE connect also only uses WIFI connection. Connecting through mobile hotspot with my pc is not possible.
I've tried turning on Bluetooth, my Nuc (I don't use a laptop) connects fast and easy with with my phone. Also connecting with a cable works perfect.
It's only that now for a few days that I'm using my phone as a hotspot, because my modem (WIFI) is broken and will be replaced soon. So in the mean while I use internet while being connected to my phone as a hotspot.
Usually I don't have problems when I connect my phone with my computer "nuc", may it be Bluetooth or WIFI. The Bluetooth works fine and smooth, connects all my devices. Also when I use Wifi I DO NOT have problems connecting and using Zorin connect.
But because of this exceptional situation of me having to use my phone as a hotspot so I can still internet on my computer "nuc", I tried connecting with Zorin, but sadly with no good result. Even though I disable my GUFW (firewall settings) it won't connect, this because when u start the apps either; Zorin connect or KDE connect - they require WIFI !!
I was just wondering why using my phone as a hotspot wont let zorin connect - connect. I guess this is a protocol issue and Zorin/KDE connect only accepts connection through WIFI.
Which version and flavour of ZorinOS are you running. e.g. Z16Core or Pro, or Maybe Z15.3 Lite etc.
Zorin16Core.
By the way I hope I explaining the issue clear enough.
So while connected to my phone with mobile hotspot;
I don't have problems using my computer eg Zorin16Core - everything runs perfect.
I was just trying to connect "Zorin connect" to the same phone which uses Mobile data instead of wifi and functions as a hotspot - and this wont work because as said "zorin connect" demands WIFI.
OK. Just checking what version you have. Because if you have ZorinOS Lite, then you need to use KDE Connect instead of Zorin Connect.
Sorry, whats wrong here I said I have -->>> ZORIN16CORE installed. In normal situations (when using Wifi) I am able to connect to Zorin connect with my phone without any problems.
You mention KDE Connect here. That's why I asked.
Yeah I know, sorry for the misinterpretation. I have them both installed on my phone. Working perfectly and connecting easily to Zorin16Core when I'm using WIFI. There is no problem what so ever.
I was just wondering why, while using mobile hotspot from phone, the computer won't connect with Zorin connect. But then again I guess its a loop - my computer connected to my phone using mobile internet and at the same time trying to connect to the same phone with zorin connect. Its creates a circle which doesn't work.
Thank you for the fine explanation. sorry but I don't feel like preforming such a surgery on my phone, I guess opening and closing will be hard enough lol.
I have a new modem now and again am able to use WIFI, so I can connect my phone with Zorin connect. Again thank u for the suggestion and good effort.
