Something changed (although not fatally): I use Bluetooth speakers quite often. Back in F22 or so after pairing the device merely turning it on caused Fedora to connect to it. Several months ago, now on F23, (not sure when this problem appeared) that changed and after turning the speaker on, I have to go into Bluetooth Settings where the device appears as "Disconnected", select it and activate the "Connection" switch several times and it will eventually connect and be available for selection in the "Sound Settings" after which it works fine. Is there a path back?
The setup is up to date Fedora 23 using Gnome 3.18.1-1.fc23.x86_64 TIA,
I use F24, a Bluetooth headset, and KDE. The GUI may be different but I think gnome should have similar settings.
On my settings for the headset I have "trusted" checked. Then there is another "tab" called "Advanced Settings". There is a drop down box for "Accept Automatically" and I have "Trusted Devices" selected.
When I power on my headset it is connected automatically.
Interesting. A recent thread (around July 8) concerned similar problems with BT mice. I wonder if this is the solution. I confess I'd never looked at the Advanced Settings when trying to solve this.
I was the OP on that thread. I saw the trusted setting and am fairly sure I tried it with no improvement.
I stopped using the bt mouse. Even turned off bt in the bios. Will revisit the issue with the trusted setting and report back
See my posting today "RE bluetooth mouse [SOLVED]" for a fuller description. In short, I had tried to set the mouse to a trusted device using blueman commands such as blueman-manager. I tried again but it did not allow automatic connection of the mouse.
Now I tried the "trust" sub-command of bluetoothctl. It did succeed in setting the mouse as a trusted device. And the mouse automatically connects after boot.
