So, the GUI isn’t reacting to the updated status. F5 usually refreshes the GUI, or rather, it does in some cases, such as the Dolphin file display, and Desktop, for example. I don’t know it that’s used consistently across DE’s or within KDE, but it’s worth trying to see if it reacts.
I wish it was just the desktop GUI, but unfortunately it is not connected, i.e. nothing works. Notifications don’t come through, no clipboard, no remote control, no anything. It’s not just the desktop though, the phone also shows no connection and will not connect even if i slide down on the phone app to “refresh” its connection.

Yes, sorry, I bypassed the first line and responded to ‘but it is still reachable’. 
I’m at a loss, really; mine connects each time without fail after any sleep state. Well, it disconnects, of course; but it always seems to resume.
Yea, that’s what I thought, how is the shell saying it is connected, but it is not. As I say, it’s very odd.
As it stands, I presume it might still remain the same regardless of the sleep state, but if you’re willing to test the theory, you could try (for example) not hibernating, but screen blanking instead; and whatever other options are available via power saving. See if any of those give a more favourable result.
Sounds like a good idea, although iv had quite a nightmare with the suspend already. I have to run a script i wrote just to have the system firstly go to sleep without directly waking straight back up again without me touching anything, also i have to reset the touchpad on resume otherwise it just does not work when the system wakes. All these problems have been documented, so i was able to figure them out with help in the end. So i suppose this is just another suspend problem that Linux (possibly just Manjaro) has to add to the list for me 
I shall try some other suspend states/levels after xmas, I’m off to to the standard xmas stuff with relatives for a few days (wonder why i feel i needed to say that, lol).
Thx for all the support chaps, happy Christmas 
Or, specific to both yours and similar machines.
Enjoy your break. Cheers.
You guys still havent figured this out huh…
Seems like you did, or ignore it, because THAT is probably your problem.
Since there is now a person in here I DO care about, I will point you in a direction, maybe you will figure it out, maybe not. I have no solution to this, but I identify the problem.
About the ping that seems to confuse you:
You can read this almost 8 year old thread for some info on arp https://serverfault.com/questions/765380/when-do-stale-arp-entries-become-failed-when-never-used
What this means is that if I ping 10.64.42.121 and it replies, then the kernel might not bother sending an ARP request because it assumes that the pong meant that it’s ARP cache entry is valid. If the entry is in the STALE state, it will also be updated by unsolicited ARP replies that it happens to see.
Ping response != connected
Figure out how to get the stale connection to become active and the problem goes away.
Edit
Maybe take a look at this:
So maybe something like sudo ip -s -s neigh flush 192.168.1.3
This has been at the back of my mind. I initially dismissed it, but it might be worth investigating; Is there a specific battery saving functionality on your phone that might be doing just that; closing an active connection (or the app)? I placed it under the heading of power saving when I first thought of it, but maybe it’s handled separately on some phones. 
I have the same problem. Connection resumes after unlocking phone screen and few (not one) fast clicks on “Refresh” button in desktop app settings. So problem in desktop service I think, but I still haven’t found a solution
Maybe worth mentioning, I don’t seem to have this problem, but I’m using Plasma 6, kdeconnect 24.02.2, and my phone has Android 14, kdeconnect 1.30.1. So it’s possible your problem may be solved when you receive the updates.
Hi @NikMAX and welcome to the Manjaro community.
I do not have a solution to your issue. After 5 months I’m guessing the OP also hasn’t. My best suggestion is to start (your own) new thread and detail your problem, and everything you’ve tried to solve it, so that others can help more effectively.

Nop, your absolutely correct. I kinda just gave up on it, after waking the system in the mornings there is a good chance that it will turn up (the tray icon & connection) at some point. It can take a few hours & just pop up or might not show up at all in that session. If i really need to use it & its not connected i just have to un-pair the phone and re-pair it. (iv got several phones, all act the same).
I can live without ^^ , thx.
