Unable to turn on bluetooth on Mi A2
-
@sladek9 Don't have this device myself but if you are not on the Devel channel try that first. Other than that Bluetooth can be a bit hit and miss on a few devices, I get a similar thing on the PinePhone. Might be a case of waiting for things to improve. Unlesss of course someone else can help you out. Fingers crossed.
-
@sladek9 submit a result of:
rfkill list bluetooth -
@c4pp4 Bluetooth works at the moment. The output is:
0: bt_power: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
I will try the same as soon as the problem reoccurs. It might show something.
Thank for the advice. -
@sladek9 So now it stopped working again. I cannot make it working and rfkill list bluetooth gives:
0: bt_power: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: nothe section about hci0 is missing. Does anybody know what this means?
Thank you. -
@sladek9 I made another finding by using dmesg | grep -i blue
It seems that there was some failure during bluetooth initiation. The output is below:phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ dmesg | grep -i blue

@sladek9
Just for sure. Did you install UT via ubports-installer with downloaded default vendor.img? -
@c4pp4 Yes. I downloaded the vednor.img from the link in the ubports installer and then uploaded it manually. The only thing is that I downloaded the vendor.img in the latest version of ubports installer, but the intsallation itself was done in the older version - 0.88 I guess.
It was necessary due to the fact that the latest uboports installer did allow selecting the downloadad vendor.img in the file picker, but nothing happened then (button next did not respond). The version 0.88 worked fine. I had to use DEB package, because in SNAP package, the installer always crashed when trying to select the vendor.img in file picker.
I do not know if this procedure might bring any problems, but I do not think so, because it installed the latest version of UT successfully without any complaints. -
@sladek9
try:sudo stop bluebinder rfkill list bluetooth sudo start bluebinder rfkill list bluetoothhere is output from my device:
-
@c4pp4 Still no hci0 unfortunately. Output is below:
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo stop bluebinder
[sudo] password for phablet:
bluebinder stop/waiting
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ rfkill list bluetooth
0: bt_power: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo start bluebinder
bluebinder start/running, process 10005
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ rfkill list bluetooth
0: bt_power: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$It is strange, because it has worked until today in the morning.
-
@sladek9 Have you restarted your device in the morning or what?
BTW: I have the same output of 'dmesg | grep -i blue' -
@c4pp4 If I restart, then the hci0 goes on. But when I go to the settings to search for any device to connect, the hci0 goes out. So it seems going to the settings is breaking it.
-
Up!
any news?
has anyone solved the problem? -
@danilo748
It doesnt work here either.
Mobile network is having issues too.
Cannot use my nextcloud.. -
@danilo748 hi! Seems that BT and Wifi are linked together.
I've recently noticed that BT if not working anymore if you switch off WIFI. Switching back on Wfi + A device restart is needed to have BT working again, or maybe at least a netword service restart with command line. -
@nauvpp Ti doesnt seem to make any difference if wifi is on or of here.
-
@nreal here's what "rfkill list" shows on my device
0: bt_power: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no -
I change the channel from stable to devel and now th BT works!
-
@danilo748 I tried that too, didnt work here
-
@nreal Theses steps to reproduce :
WIFI is on and BT is on = OK, can see devices. BT off then on again = OK, can see devices.
Set WIFI off = BT goes OFF itself few seconds after WIFI.
Set WIFI back on = BT stays off.
Restart is needed to get BT back on too.
If you can repoduce, I will file a bug. -
@nauvpp I have Xiaomi MI A2 and bluetooth does nothing, with or without wifi on / off.
