Comment 13 for bug 591298

I just tried the workaround described in the original post, and it doesn't work:

$ sudo service bluetooth stop
$ sudo rmmod hidp
ERROR: Module rfcomm is in use

this is surprising, since lsmod doesn't list any dependencies for hidp:

$ lsmod |grep hidp
hidp 15019 3
l2cap 42304 17 hidp,rfcomm,bnep
hid 84678 2 hidp,usbhid
bluetooth 59213 10 hidp,rfcomm,sco,bnep,l2cap,btusb

as I said earlier, restarting the bluetooth-applet also doesn't solve the problem. BTW, bluetooth applet behaves like this after resuming from suspend:

- first, the applet icon is greyed out, no devices are shown in the menu
- after a fairly long time (about 30 seconds), the icon becomes normal, and my mouse shows up in the device menu. but if I click on the menu, the submenu for the mouse is empty.

the only solution to this issue is to reboot :( this is really annoying, because it renders the suspend mode, which is a top prio feature for me on a laptop, unusable.
