Hi Marcos,

I did a clean install of 15.10 yesterday, so I also used that
opportunity to test this issue. In short, pairing using the user
interface still did not work, but adding the OUI to the XML file was
enough to persist the connection across reboots and suspends. No need to
use the command line foo I did in #59.

To be fully precise, this is what I did:

1. Clean install Ubuntu 15.10.
2. Pair using the bluetooth icon in the top right at the desktop.
3. Try suspend or reboot. It did not work (connection even refused to set up without removing and adding the device again).
4. Added the OUI to the XML file as this, under the Microsoft Mice section:

<device oui="30:59:B7:" pin="0000"/>

5. Reboot.

After this, the connection is now persisting across reboots and
suspends. It would be nice for other users if they didn't need to edit
the XML and the user interface did all that was needed automatically,
but I'm satisfied it works easily now.

Cheers.

Bug description:
  [Impact] The patch makes Microsoft Wedge/Sculpt Touch mice stay connected.
  [Test Case] Get a Microsoft Wedge/Sculpt Touch mouse, pair it, restart session, watch it automatically re-pair.
  [Regression Potential] Little. The patched piece of XML is only relevant to hardware having the same ID.

  When you don't use the mouse for a long enough time, the mouse
  disconnects and won't reconnect. I have to go into bluetooth settings,
  remove it, and re-pair it.

  1)
  ~ % lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
  Release:	12.04

  2)
  ~ % apt-cache policy bluez
  bluez:
    Installed: 4.98-2ubuntu7
    Candidate: 4.98-2ubuntu7
    Version table:
   *** 4.98-2ubuntu7 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3)
  I expected the mouse to reconnect automatically, or at least after I try to reconnect manually through the bluetooth settings.

  4)
  I have to re-pair the mouse in order to use it again. Turning the mouse off and on doesn't work either.
