YES! Confirming that OTA13 has solved the pairing issue. I can now pair my BQ Aquaris E4.5 with the HFS without any problems.
Furthermore - once pairing is done, I get the "volume" notification with the title: "Bluetooth speakers" and I can play music via the car's speakers (albeit I can't control the playback via the physical buttons on the car, but that is bug #1398193 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1398193)). Also, if I try to place a call I get the "volume" notification again, switching back to the phone's speakers. However, I get no audio neither in the car's speakers, nor in the phone's speakers. After the call ends, I get the "volume" notification again switching to the "bluetooth speakers" (but that is bug #1578176 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1578176). Can anyone else confirm that pairing is now working as intended? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1539158 Title: Unable to pair with in-car hands-free system after OTA-9 update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1539158/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
