It appears some other people have reported similar problems with the same RTL8723 bluetooth hardware in bug 1446239 and bug 1747421. However both of those have closed so we only have this bug now.
It's been suggested github has better drivers. I'm not sure where but https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new looks like a good candidate. ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1769443 Title: [RTL8723BE] Bluetooth is not working after updating my laptop to 18.04 LTS version Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Bluetooth is not working on Bionic 18.04 LTS version,Iam unable to send or receive files via bluetooth,please do give a emulsion of this hardware problem ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: compiz-core 1:0.9.13.1+18.04.20180302-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-20.21-generic 4.15.17 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-20-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity_support_test.0: ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,vpswitch,snap,mousepoll,resize,place,move,wall,grid,regex,imgpng,session,gnomecompat,animation,fade,staticswitcher,workarounds,scale,expo,ezoom,dbus] CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true CurrentDesktop: Unity:Unity7:ubuntu Date: Sun May 6 15:26:50 2018 DistUpgraded: 2018-04-26 07:00:09,369 DEBUG Running PostInstallScript: './xorg_fix_proprietary.py' DistroCodename: bionic DistroVariant: ubuntu ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/compiz GconfCompiz: /apps/compiz-1/general: /apps/compiz-1/general/screen0: /apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options: active_plugins = [core,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,vpswitch,snap,mousepoll,resize,place,move,wall,grid,regex,imgpng,session,gnomecompat,animation,fade,staticswitcher,workarounds,scale,expo,ezoom,dbus] GraphicsCard: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
