Hello, I've bought Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro couple of months ago and had an issues with them since the day i bought them, but didn't actually notice as i barely used them on my laptop.
Now I'm relying on them a lot, and noticed that each time i want to use them i have to pair them. If i disconnect, i have to pair again. If i reboot, i have to pair again.
I also got a bluetooth mouse and same issue, each time i disconnect/reboot my laptop i have to pair again.
Both devices would still show as paired, but when trying to connect to any of them, it would just fail, i have to forget and re-pair again.
Device details:
MSI Cyborg 15 A13VF
Kernel: 6.12.7-arch1-1
DE: Plasma 6.2.4
GPU: RTX 4060
CPU: i7-13700H
Some notes:
- I'm dual booting with Win11, but I barely open Windows, i even forgot when was the last time i booted to windows (and it was by mistake)
- One of my coworkers is facing same exact issues when his bluetooth devices, have to pair each time he want to use any of them. (he's not dual booting).
Installed packages:
pacman -Qq | grep blue
bluedevil
bluez
bluez-libs
bluez-qt
bluez-utilsLast edited by ExCalicock (2025-07-11 10:00:26)

BT stack on linux is awful. Literal code that broadcom(?) threw away years ago and someone from RH packaged.
That said, the BT "security" protocol uses the receiver address (kinda like ethernet MAC) to exchange the pairing keys.
If you boot several OSes with the same BT radio, they will generate different keys with the same address. Your device will see it as someone trying to spoof a host and refuse to connect.
You can try to factory reset all the devices, connect from linux again, and NEVER enable BT on windows (or other OS, even linux, you dual boot with the same radio device)

As i mentioned in OP, i barely open windows at all + I've neither used Bluetooth on windows nor connected the galaxy buds to windows.
Forgot to mention that i'm running Arch on both personal (one stated in OP which is dual booted) and work laptop (only arch), and both exhibit same behavior.

issue seems to be solved after latest update, works fine without having to re-pair after each reboot
