Hi all,
Over the last few days with a new laptop, I've been having many issues
with the on-board bt.
* My bt keyboard begins to repeat keys randomly.
* Mouse behavior is completely erratic, and connections don't last more
than a couple minutes.
I've had an HID driver dev look at kernel output logs of HID data. It
appears packets relating to key-ups from the keyboard and other mouse
data has huge latency issues. The kernel is receiving key-down events
and sometimes there is a pause of several hundred or thousand ms before
the keyup event comes in to the HID drivers. This happens even if I'm
just typing normally (believe me, I'm not holding the keys down when
this happens). Regarding the mouse, it looks like the mouse is also
dropping events, and then the mouse forces an L2CAP disconnect and
renegotiation (according to btmon dumps).
Wireless network (802.11 -- also on this Dell branded ROME based card)
seems to be rock-steady.
I'm running a locally built kernel 4.11.6 SMP with bluez 5.43-2 (debian
9 package).
# dmesg | grep 'qca'
[ 3.546077] Bluetooth: hci0: using rampatch file:
qca/rampatch_usb_00000302.bin

In order to isolate the issue a bit, I've plugged in an old bt host
adapter I had laying around that I knew worked well on other machines.
The same keyboard and mouse are working perfectly with it (and have in
the past). The btmon output from this older host adapter looks quite
different from the output I get from the qca device. The mouse sends a
steady stream of mode change events when not sending actual data, they
keyboard behaves properly, and I've yet to loose a mouse connection.
I'd love to get the onboard BT working better, because I hate carrying
around dongles.
What can I do to help?
Regards,
-Bryan Varner
