Question Description
Have you searched the community for related issues?
- No similar issues found. Or at least, no one asked for a solution, or maybe I used the wrong keywords to search on this forum
Please describe the problem you’ve encountered in detail:
- Description:
The Wi-Fi is working fine, the Bluetooth is marked as enabled, there are no errors on enabling/disabling the Bluetooth connectivity (either using the settings’ toggle or using the quick settings’ toggle). But : no device is detected (except a payment terminal in a shop near me), the SP4 is not detected either on another device. Typically, my phone and my laptop are invisible to each other.
Before you ask, yes, my phone’s Bluetooth is working well, I’m actively connected to a watch and I have no issue connecting to other Bluetooth devices from it.
It’s just the SP4’s Bluetooth that doesn’t work well. I thought about a “driver” issue, so I did some research. As the device combines Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the driver is, to my understanding, the same. And regardinglsusb
andlspci
values inchrome://system/
, the device registered in the system is effectively a Marvell card.
I’ve searched this forum for a solution, I’ve searched some Linux’ forums for a solution, all say that I must enable the right driver, which looks to be already done as the good one is detected onchrome://system/
and the Wi-FI (on the same component) is working fine.
