App to piggy back on Android phone

Hello Garuda users.

I have a T-Mobile app installed on my tablet that allows me to make and receive calls on an iPad (has WiFi only) by hooking into my Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G phone. I can't find any app that will create an interface between my phone and my Linux laptop. Any solutions?

Welcome :slight_smile:

We do not support apple or old smartphones :wink:
Did you ask in telekom thread or apple thread?
Garuda Linux is where installed?

Thats not apple or samsung, true?

Try KDE Connect, it works well and has a lot of features. I don't think you can take a call on the computer, but you can at least get a notification or see who is calling.

The laptop is MSI (micro-star mobo), the tablet is an Apple iPad and the phone is a very recent top end Samsung phone.

Hm, my top end Samsung phone is a Galaxy S23 Ultra 5G. :thinking:

Addendum: my question involves the Laptop and the Samsung phone only.

No idea if useful, a quick search turned up https://nohands.sourceforge.net/ (found here).
Apparently, only the server component is in AUR (and chaotic-aur).

Project MAXS may be useful too (for other phone features, not calls though).
