Same here. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04 $ uname -a Linux Aspire-3830TG 4.4.0-53-generic #74-Ubuntu SMP Fri Dec 2 15:59:10 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The bluetooth sometimes fails to initialize, sometimes drops after few minutes, sometime just works. Moreover, I can turn on bluetooth only with quick menu (close to clock). Turning on with Bluetooth Settings does not work (does not show devices on search, when adding a device).
