Comment 8 for bug 368500

I had no such problems in the past years. But now I am also affected.
During the last 4 weeks, I noticed that the mouse cursor did not move and the buttons did not react sporadically for a while even the mouse was displayed as "connected". The problem alsways disappeard itself after a few minutes - until today.

Because of the sporadic outages, I tried to remove the mouse from the KDE module in the task bar and then tried to search it again. The mouse appears in the search dialog, then I am asked whether I want to connect it as a HID device (keyboard/mouse). After that, the mouse still does not work and the LED is still blinking red and green which indicated that the pairing process has not finished.

Howeever, when I endter "sudo hidd --scan", the mouse work immediately (until next reboot).

OS: Ubuntu 12.04
Desktop: KDE 4.8.5
Kernel: 3.2.0-32-generic-pae

libbluedevil: 1.9.1-0ubuntu1
bluedevil: 1.2.2-0ubuntu1
libbluetooth3: 4.98-2ubuntu7
bluez-compat: 4.98-2ubuntu7
gnome-bluetooth: not installed
Plugins for alsa, cups and pulseaudio: not installed

Since the mouse still works finde with Windows, and also connection to mobile phones function well, I'm sure that it is not a hardware issue.
