Bluetooth connection problem

Hi there,

I am running Linux Mint Debian and have problem with the Bluetooth connection. My BT mouse on and off stop working, it will normally work when boot up, but will disconnect after 10min. or so, sometimes it will auto reconnect sometimes doesn't, I've to turn off and on the PC BT to reconnect it. I also have problem connecting to BT keyboard, I got a Logitech K480 multi keyboard, it support 3 devices, and I connected it to my Android phone no problem, but I could not connect it to the PC, it failed to connect just after I input the passkey, tried many times still the same, I believe there is nothing to do with individual BT devices but the Linux Bluetooth support, any idea ?

Help supplying more info is from here:

http://www.linfo.org/dmesg.html

Just a example off of my laptop.

Code:

harry@biker:~
$ dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
[   19.242421] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22
[   19.242445] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized
[   19.242450] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized
[   19.242453] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized
[   19.242462] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized
[   19.567128] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3
[   19.567130] Bluetooth: BNEP filters: protocol multicast

You might wanna throw in here a

Code:

Of course. Try the above after trying all your attempts to get it working 1st.

I installed Blueman and it seems to have better reliability than the stock Bluetooth manager
