Cannot connect Motorola S11 Flex-HD bluetooth headset with laptop

0

I have laptop with usb bluetooth device, phone with built-in bluetooth and new bluetooth headset called: "Motorola S11 Flex-HD".

My Linux distribution is: "Funtoo Linux" (Gentoo Linux based).
I have installed:

  • OSS (Open Sound System) with pulseaudio
  • Plasma 5 (latest KDE desktop) with Bluez5

I have in Plasma 5 tray icon for managing bluetooth.
From there I can connect with phone and it works great.
From phone I can connect with bluetooth headset and this also works great.
So all devices works and bluetooth in all devices works .

My problem is:

  1. In the Bluetooth management panel in system tray I click on the plus icon. (add bluetooth device).
  2. Got a dialog with a list of devices to configure.
  3. Choose my handset and type a PIN (or leave blank field - same result) and click: "Next" button.
  4. My headset is paired properly, but is unable to connect. (I got error message: setting failed)
  5. Returning to the Bluetooth tray panel on the list see added handset and click on "Connect" button. with following result notification:

Failed to connect to the device

This is how i got mine to work, Since it's all ready connected and it's keeps blinking blue, right click your bluetooth icon on your taskbar click: 1 - Add Bluetooth Device 2 - If you see the S11-HD is "Connected" 3 - Remove the Deivce 4 - Turn the Device back on it should download the drivers ) Note: If this doesn't work you could try to download the Bluetooth drivers or Keep trying the above steps.

Thx, I was need to install bluez-firmware package, because in Gentoo/Funtoo bluez do not need require bluez-firmware. – Eiji – 2016-10-30T15:34:29.607
