Hi all My impression is that the bluetooth issue is not being taken seriously at all by Canonical. I keep reiterating that this is a safety issue.
I ditched my Samsung GS5 for the Ubuntu phone and I am generally satisfied with the device. My biggest complaint is that there is a safety issue that needs to be given priority. I have been flagging the bluetooth connectivity issue for a long time through the feedback app on the phone, the askubuntu site, and by contacting BQ directly. I own a Mazda3 - 2014 model equipped with an entertainment system that connects to the phone via bluetooth. I spend a long time in the car travelling to client locations and I receive a lot of calls while i'm on the move. Unfortunately, every time I try to pair my phone with the car system, the car doesn't detect my phone while my phone detects the car as a headset with a fair signal. Now that the phone is moving towards convergence - a big plus for me as I can ditch my laptop while travelling - it is essential to have the phone connected to the car. I cannot Keep holding my phone while driving. As a business consultant for start-up businesses, I have been encouraging clients to adopt Ubuntu (I also wrote a blog on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/give-ubuntu-try-mark-j-galea?trk=prof-post). But bluetooth connectivity is essential for people who, like me, are always on the move. Thank you for your support.
