[Bug 403293] [NEW] Bluetooth fails to connect to Phone

[kylea]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bluez

Jaunty 64bit

2.6.28-13-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30 22:12:12 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Bluez 4.41.0ubuntu1

To get Bluetooth to work, after most restarts of my Jaunty 64 I have to
force a connection from my phone to the PC.

I do this via the remote control program "anyremote". anyremote "talks"
via Bluetooth Channel 19. The PC "anyremote" component does NOT have to
be running. Just making the attempt seems to "wake up" the Bluetooth
service on the PC.

I have a new phone Nokia 5800 and the behaviour is the same as with the
6233.

When the "connection" is made everything works ok. Its very consistent,
although sometimes after a restart Bluetooth connection works without
intervention.

I have reported this behaviour in 268502,

"Now bluetooth mostly only works (ie can send files or use Gnome Phone
Manager) if I connect from the Phone to the Laptop (Dell using 370
Minicard) via anyremote first. So what I have to do it start anyremote
via ganyremote - then I start Anyremote on my Nokia 6233 and then I can
disconnect if I want too (don't have to) and then the Laptop can
successfully communicate with the phone.

I updated to latest Blues 4.36 from 4.32 no change"

I assume its bluez - but I suspect it might be kernel related.
