Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 15.04 (vivid) reached end-of-life on February 4, 2016.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases Please upgrade to the latest version and re-test. ** Changed in: bluez (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1485378 Title: [REGRESSION] bluetooth visibility turns off by itself after 3 minutes Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I had Ubuntu 14.04 and I had the Bluetooth Visibility set to On. (in the submenu under the bluetooth tray icon, where it reads "Visible") It used to be always on, I didn't have to turn it on every time I wanted my computer to be visible. I upgraded to 14.10 and then to 15.04, and then when failing to send a file over bluetooth to my computer, I found out Visible was off. I turned it on, and it worked. However, after a few minutes, it had turned off again. I can't find a setting anywhere to automatically turn off after N seconds. It would make sense to have that. If there is, it should be accessible through Bluetooth settings. If such a settings doesn't exist and once turned on bluetooth visibility is supposed to remain on, then there's some bug which is causing it to randomly turn off.
