[ASUS X200MA] Bluetooth does not work

I submitted an upstream patch already, but it will be applied in 3.18 or 3.19.

Here is the patch against ubuntu 3.16.0-25 kernel

This change was made by a bot.

The same laptop, the same problem.

[ASUS X200MA] Bluetooth does not work

@evbukreev

You can test the patched kernel. It fixes touchpad multitouch features and the bluetooth.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/07642x3lziqgmz9/AACGWNO5_lNnX7x7tYMoH9gka?dl=0

Here is the link to the upstream patch.

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bluetooth/msg55965.html

I built a Utopic test kernel with the patch from comment #2. Can you test this kernel and see if it resolves this bug? If it does, we can submit and SRU request for inclusion in Utopic.

The test kernel can be downloaded from:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1395465/

Note: You will have to install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

I already tested it and also gave link to the kernel debs. It works.
And also a few people tested on various ASUS laptops with this bluetooth module.
There is a thread on ubuntuforums.

But I'll try yours, just to make sure.

@Joseph

Yes. your build works as expected. But there is a small bug, which I think is not directly kernel related.
Same is with my build.

When I boot first time with this kernel, there is no bluetooth indicator. I test it like a common user.
Then I go to System settings -> bluetooth and enable bluetooth.
The switch turns on and in a second turns off itself. Indicator appears in the indicator panel, but greyed out.
If I try again form System settings - no go.
Then if I turn it on from the indicator panel, it turns on and works OK.

This must be related to some other package, I do not know which. Either way ithe bug is mostly fixed.

@Pilot6, thanks! I also have a Trusty test kernel building.

@Joseph

Is it 3.13 or 3.16? I think there is no need to patch 3.13 as very soon 3.16 will be default in trusty 14.04.2 and lts-utopic will be suggested for all trusty users. I tested it on trusty, because I do not have utipic on this laptop. It makes no difference as it is a very simple kernel patch.

I see that you already sent your patch upstream:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/23/78

Could you also send the patch with a CC to <email address hidden> ? That way it will make it's way into the upstream stable releases. There is some info on this in the kernel tree documentation: ~/Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt

I'll send and SRU request for Utopic while the patch makes it's way through stable.

Thanks again for the help!

@Joseph

CC to stable done, but it may be only 3.17, since 3.16 is EOL.

Did you receive my E-mail regarding the other patch?

I failed to submit the patch upstream in a right way. They get me resend it again and again.
I spent already hours on doing it. So I give up. If someone else wills to deal with the kernel team, please, do it.
That was my first and last try to contact them.

Finally they applied it.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/26/480

Hello, I have Asus X200MA and I have installed kernel 3.16 from dropbox of Pilot6.
As I can notice touchpad is working well on it, but bluetooth not.
Bluetooth is visible by system, but I can't find any other device, PC is not visible either.

I'm attaching dmesg, if you need any other info let me know.
uname -r
3.16.0-26-generic

@elzear

Please install the latest image from the same URL.

Also enable bluetooth in indicators panel first.

Then give output

lsusb
rfkill list

If it is blocked try to run

sudo rfkill unblock all

You have the same bluetooth adapter. It should work.

@elzear

And also make sure that you poweroff your laptop after you install the kernel image, not just reboot.
I was confused with that issue too first. The firmware is not loaded after first reboot.

Oops, sry. I tested the very latest build and bluetooth does not load firmware. Probably I made a mistake, when builded the image.
I changed some patches and did not clean. i will rebuild and make available same files again.

I fixed it and put the image to dropbox. Sry for my stupid mistake.
Now bluetooth works. I will be more careful, when merging upstream.

Do not forget to power off after install.

Either way the source of my patched kernel can be found here.

https://github.com/hanipouspilot/ubuntu-fixes/tree/pilot6

yep it is working now!
Thanks!!

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-utopic' to 'verification-done-utopic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

I am testing it for two weeks already. It definitely solves the problem.

This bug was fixed in the package linux - 3.16.0-29.39

hi all, i have a similar bug on a asus f200ma in which the bluetooth card is identified as imc networks 13d3:3423. i'm running ubuntu 14.10 with the patched kernel just released but for me the bluetooth problem is still there. I'm wondering if a patch similar to the one for the x200ma can be applied to my laptop too. unfortunately my skills are not good enough to do it by myself without your how-to suggestions.

Alessandro,

Are you ssure that it is

13d3:3423, not 13d3:3432?

If you have really 3423, then create a separate bugreport. I will collect information and try to help.

thanks pilot6. I confirm the code; see the lsusb result below.
Now I try to open another bug report... it's my first time....

Following your suggestion I opened a nother bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1411193

Alessandro,

Please, create a bur report by running command

ubuntu-bug linux

And subscribe me to it.

Also post there output of command

sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices

I found this device in Windows drivers, it is aslo AR3012.

I will make a pathch, build a kernel, and you will test it.
Please do not write here, regarding your issue.
We can do it in your new report.
