Bluetooth can't turn on after suspend

niksic · 2023-10-04 20:43:09

When I close my lid, which puts the laptop in suspend, my bluetooth can't be turned on anymore. I had the same problem on Manjaro, and I'm currently running just Arch.

Running systemctl status bluetooth says bluetooth is running. I tried the basic solutions, like

reinstalling bluez and blueman
updating packages
tried rfkill unblock bluetooth
systectl restart bluetooth
tried rmmod btusb and then enabling it again

, none of which worked.

bluetoothctl show says "No default controler available".

Also, fast boot and sacure boot are both disable.

I don't know what other information to include, or if this is the right place to post - this is my first post here, so please advise.

I have previously started a discussion here https://forum.manjaro.org/t/bluetooth-c … lid/145168, where you can find more details.

I would start here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Blueto … _available

I tried the solutions provided, nothing worked.

For the record, I tried:

Adding btusb.enable_autosuspend=n to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
Downgrading bluez-utils to bluez-utils-compat
usb_modeswitch -R -v 8087 -p 0026

I managed to get some more information about my system, though. Here's the bluetooth-related output of inxi -v7azy:

This is before I suspend: after, it just says there's no information about Bluetooth, and default controller can't be found.

This is the output of lsusb -tv:

When I close the lid, and try sudo usb_modeswitch -R -v 8087 -p 0026, I get

Look for default devices ...
 No devices in default mode found. Nothing to do. Bye!

Also, lsusb -tv now doesn't find the bluetooth things:

/:  Bus 04.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/6p, 10000M
    ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

    ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Most confusingly, apparently bluetooth is still running, since this is the output of systemctl status bluetooth:

     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; preset: di>
     Active: active (running) since Thu 2023-10-05 21:21:44 EDT; 27min ago

Another weird thing is that hibernation turn bluetooth back on.

Any ideas?

Lenovos with AX201 chipsets seem to have this problem?

niksic · 2023-10-06 04:08:53

I see, I suspected it might be a hardware problem. The weird thing is, I never had this problem with my Windows. Also, I think (not sure) it worked properly for a while (around the months of June/July this year) on Manjaro, but then broke at some point.

I would peruse the Wiki's article on Lenovo. It's quite extensive. There's usually software to correct hardware problems. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop/Lenovo# I would also keep this topic open. There's a lot more Archers with more BT experience than you or I.

I had the same problem on my Lenovo Ideapad S145 14IIL.
My Bluetooth and camera wasn't working after waking up from suspend and when I checked
$ lsusb
my Bluetooth and camera devices weren't visible.
I used this script to restart my whole usb controller

#!/bin/bash
sudo sh -c "echo -n '0000:00:14.0' > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd/unbind"
sleep 2
sudo sh -c "echo -n '0000:00:14.0' > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd/bind"

and made run after waking up from suspend
