Comment 67 for bug 249448

Hmm, looks like this is old as the hills!

I'm running on Ubuntu 13.10 (saucy?), 64 bit.

I've got an HP x4000b Bluetooth mouse.

I'm using an ASUS bluetooth dongle (hci0).

It would appear that the mouse loses its connection
if left sitting around long enough (not sure how long yet),
or if you power down the mouse and power it back up,
or if you reboot.

The hciconfig hci0 pscan doesn't make any difference. nor iscan, nor noscan.

At first, I discovered that if I get into the bluetooth system settings,
I can delete the hp bluetooth mouse, then create a new one , hit the connect
button under the mouse, then go with automatic pin settings, and its back
and running.

I also discovered, that while in in the disconnected state, I can move the mouse
around, and it will occasionally quickly come up as connected for a second or less,
and then lose the connection.

I then discovered that I can (with another mouse) go to the bluetooth setting, select
the hp bluetooth mouse, hit the connect button under the mouse, and then click on the
greyed out ON connection, and it will connect again.

Now, normally, the settings for the hp mouse say "Paired No".

I also have a targus bluetooth mouse, which goes thru batteries about once a week,
and the system has no problems with it. Turn it off, turn it on, it works. It also says
"Paired No".

Any ideas what it will take to get this mouse to reconnect properly?
