Gustavo, Thank you so much for responding. It is encouraging to hear that the expected behavior is for the headset to connect automatically. Until recently I was not able to reconnect at all until the patch "[PATCH] Bluetooth: Fix l2cap connfailures for ssp devices" made it into the linux kernel released with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Since that patch, I am able to successfully connect and disconnect the headset without issue. Regarding the requested information hcidump and output from list-devices script, I would be more than happy to provide the information, but not sure exactly how to go about it given I've never done either. If there is some basic documentation on downloading/installing the package and script and running each that I can review, I'm sure I can figure it out. I will try to google search for instructions. Also, assuming I can figure out how to run the scripts, do you want me to provide the output as text pasted into the email, or as attachments? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
