What exactly is the problem? Your screenshot is showing that Bluetooth is turned off.

Look closely I have turned on the bluetooth button but as a whole it stays turned off

Hi,

I have encountered a similar issue. After i updated yesterday; after rebooting into the same kernel-version you mentioned. Although i am not sure this is necessarily related to the kernel version.

At first activating bluetooth using the gnome menu or settings was not possible at all, after another update + reboot i could connect a bluetooth headset using the settings dialog for a few seconds. The connection breaks off almost immediately and the bluetooth settings crashed after several tries to reconnect the device.

Did you manage to solve your issues?

Regarding hardware:
Lenovo E495 with a intel Wi-Fi 6 card (combined wifi + bluetooth)

Bluetooth errors started cropping up since my system upgraded to 5.13.4

My system is on Fedora 33

Bluetooth: hci0: sending initial HCI reset command failed (-110) kernel
Bluetooth: hci0: command 0x0c03 tx timeout kernel

Hi There!!
Welcome to Ask Fedora Project
The kernel version and hardware exactly matches with mine and I guess this problem belongs to the kernel or any other update I just did
I am too using Lenovo and I am also waiting for someone to help me…
Lets have patience
Yours,

@vgaetera
No this didnot solve my issue

@jetstream Can you tell us your bluetooth hardware info
If this issue is hovering over Lenovo Laptop or Computer devices
Or wifi 6 + Bluetooth devices then we might have to approach this issue in different way

Use the previous version of the kernel until the problem is fixed.

@superadmin mine is an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 card

As a matter of fact, last night, I reverted to using the latest in 5.12.* I had on my system, like @vgaetera has suggested.

sudo grubby --set-default /boot/vmlinuz-5.12.15-200.fc33.x86_64

I see the following output:

@vgaetera
seems like switching back to previous kernel didn’t fix the issue
As with @jetstream The issue was not resolved even without switching back to the preivous kernel…
Hope this issue gets resolved fast
Yours,

Try this:

sudo dnf downgrade linux-firmware

And then reboot with the previous version of the kernel.

Sorry … bit slow catching up (I’m not on the linux box that frequently)

@superadmin you’re right, I’m seeing in the logs the bluetooth errors still coming up, but I am not too fussed as long as the system is generally working. Am happy to help with any info if I can.

So, I am now running kernel 5.12.15-200.fc33.x86_64 for the foreseeable future ( displaylink-rpm currently supports upto kernel-5.12 and I need that.

@vgaetera I applied the linux-firmware downgrade you suggested. The bluetooth error is still there. Like I said, it’s not blocking me, but including the logs here in case it helps to solve a problem.

I had a pairing issue with my bluetooth device. For me, downgrading bluez package, pairing bluetooth device and then upgrading it fixed the issue.
I found the answer when i asked on reddit(https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/o5lb5a/bluetooth_audio_not_working_properly_on_fedora_34/h2ptn4b?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3).

It still acts up every now and then if i keep turning bluetooth off and on repeatedly, but the pairing and audio seem to work fine now.

@vgaetera probably you have already seen these two below …

Bluetooth updates have gone in the last firmware update 20210716 in this commit and back in 20210315.

Am pretty sure BT errors have started showing up very recently.

So, if a firmware downgrade didn’t make the errors go away, I’m wondering too what else has impacted the bluetooth subsystem.

Can you help me with upgrading to the latest firmware after downgrading?
How do we do it?
