I'm not able to reproduce the problem today on my desktop, but I was seeing it while travelling recently on a laptop. In that case the workaround I found was to just turn Bluetooth off on my phone so it didn't steal the headphones from the laptop. With that said, I fear my problem might have been different (or multiple bugs).
It would be useful if Tobias and more people could verify the suggested fix(es) and see if we can direct all related bugs to be duplicates of bug 2085162. -- 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/2081384 Title: bluetooth headphones need reconnect after every reboot Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in bluez source package in Oracular: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Oracular: Confirmed Bug description: This issue seems to be caused by a recent package update in oracular.
