I was experiencing similar problems, sometimes, until recently. The problem went away for me more recently in 17.10. Can you please try live booting: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and see if the problem is fixed there in 17.10?

The same device could be successfully connected using two non-Ubuntu systems: a) The same system hardware setup (dual-boot) running Windows 8 could connect without any problems. Also could run applications using serial-port associated with this connection. b) Android Note 4 device using bluetooth was able to successfully connect and run apps. Therefore, it was concluded that the Ubuntu 16.04 bluetooth service has a problem. Note: The USB bluetooth adapter used: BTA8000 from Cirago on the ubuntu system as well as the IOIO device. The adapters on the device and system have been verified to have different MAC addresses and works well with other devices. Procedure: Using the Bluetooth control in system-tray -> Bluetooth settings -> +, the device was located as IOIO (8A:22). Here, device was clicked upon, changed PIN to 4545 and pressing next resulted in the device being successfully added. However, the system-tray status of the device continues to say Connection is OFF. Attempting to turnon connection results in changing the system-tray blue-tooth icon to Keys-Icon for few seconds and then reverting back to the bluetooth icon. The device remains in disconnected state and cannot be accessed. The btmon trace (log-line 1277) and bluetoothd syslog (log-line 405) logs seem to indicate that the local host is sending a disconnect request after receiving a SDP: Service Search Attribute Response from the device. The src/device.c:connect_profiles() /org/bluez/hci0/dev_00_1B_DC_06_8A_22 (all), client :1.73 must result in connection setup - not disconnect. Log information was collected for the above procedure. systemInfo.txt: Information about the system bluetooth. syslog.blue: syslog with busr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd --noplugin=sap -d in /lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service btmon.log: result of running sudo btmon ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: bluez 5.37-0ubuntu5 [modified: lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.10.0-27.30~16.04.2-generic 4.10.17 Uname: Linux 4.10.0-27-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.10 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Sun Jul 23 01:28:38 2017 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-06-03 (49 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20170215.2) InterestingModules: rfcomm bnep btusb bluetooth JournalErrors: Error: command ['journalctl', '-b', '--priority=warning', '--lines=1000'] failed with exit code 1: Hint: You are currently not seeing messages from other users and the system.
