Yes, we released pulseaudio 1:8.0-0ubuntu3.3 last week. But in testing that I too started to suspect that the v4.8 kernel (introduced in 16.04.2?) was helping to further reduce bluetooth bugs.

In terms of wifi, this works great: After hard unblocking, the device resumes back to normal operation without any manual intervention. That was also working with bluetooth as of ubuntu 14.04, kernel 4.2. In ubuntu 16.04, kernel 4.4.0-31-generic, together with systemd, this is not working any more: After hard blocking and unblocking - bluetooth is not working at all - the applet-indicator remains gray - bluetooth cannot be enabled with the applet-indicator (see https://storage6.static.itmages.com/i/16/0717/h_1468721829_7715160_83cd33bfba.png). Applet-indicator remains gray - rfkill list tells me that the kernel knows about the hard unblocking (turns from "yes" to "no"): rfkill list bluetooth 2: dell-bluetooth: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 8: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no The device is a sudo lsusb Bus 002 Device 010: ID 413c:8187 Dell Computer Corp. DW375 Bluetooth Module Workaround: After a sudo service bluetooth restart the bluetooth device turns back to normal operation and the applet- indicator turns from gray to black (available). Suggested fix: Make the workaround obsolete.
