Hi,
I've recently bought a new desktop computer (mini-pc). I'm running Fedora 24 (Kernel 4.7.9-200, Gnome) and I have an Intel 7265 Wireless/Bluetooth card (link)
Wireless works, but I'm having problems with bluetooth signal (at least I think that's the problem).
When I enable bluetooth, it doesn't find my (android) smartphone nor my headset (both are about 0,5m away from the computer), but it does see my SmartTV. Which is just above my computer. My smartphone also doesn't see my computer, until I put it really close to the computer, like almost on top of the computer. Then I can pair them without problems, but that's about it, sending files returns an error on the phone, and receiving also doesn't work (with no apparent error messages). Connectivity is lost when I move the phone further away. It's the same with the headset, it connects and pairs only when I put them very close to the computer. After that I can hear sound on the headset, but as soon as I move them, sound shutters, lags, BT connection drops...
What I've already tried:
- connected my phone/headset; TV/headset to make sure everything works and it works fine.
- Installed Blueman, which yield almost same results (the range was slightly better).
- checked if BT is hard/soft blocked and there's no problem there.
- ran ubuntu-live and checked if there's any difference (same problem there); I don't have Windows, so I can't test it.
Anyone has any ideas on this? Thanks.
