[Bug 1692448] [NEW] Bluetooth speaker fails to reconnect when turned on (but it tries)

Mon May 22 08:35:10 UTC 2017

Public bug reported:

Bluetooth speaker fails to reconnect when turned on. Watching the
Bluetooth icon in the Unity panel I can see it is trying (B icon briefly
gets the expected padlock and then loses it). The speaker doesn't
reconnect then unless initiated by the laptop (set Connection = ON in
the panel).

Sounds like of like this (which is fixed in newer releases than xenial, but not in xenial):

Note this bug is only about the Bluetooth connection, and not about
audio problems (of which there are a few).
