[Bug 1277528] Re: [Asus N550JV] Bluetooth not working initially

 

Hi Christopher,

I am very sorry, I thought I upgraded to the latest BIOS. But it looks
like I upgraded to previous version.

I upgraded the BIOS to version 208 after your message, and the terminal code shows this:
$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
N550JV.208
11/19/2013

After that I booted to live USB 10 times. Here's the summary:
1. and 2. trials, adapter was not recognized ("hcitool dev" was empty) and there was NO soft block. No matter what I tried bluetooth didn't work.

3. trial, Adapter was not recognized initially and there was soft block.
After unblocking adapter was recognized and then bluetooth worked

4 thru 10. trials: Adapter was recognized ("hcitool dev" gave an ID) and
there was NO soft block, bluetooth worked without any
workarounds/tweaks.

If you find these tests inconclusive I can do much more tests.

Thanks for your time and help.

Title:
  [Asus N550JV] Bluetooth not working initially

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Initially bluetooth doesn't work. "rfkill list" either shows bluetooth
  is soft blocked, or unblocked. If it boots unblocked, it does not
  work.

  WORKAROUND: Only if it is soft blocked "sudo rfkill unblock bluetooth"
  and I was able to pair a bluetooth mouse and the connection was
  persistent (not sporadic). I even tried this; I paired a tablet and
  streamed audio from tablet to my laptop.
