I have a Dell Inspiron laptop and my Microsoft Bluetooth mouse 3600 started to have a bad left button (wouldn’t always register - it was old). I replaced it with another brand new 3600 because I like the size and portability.
However, when I try to pair it I receive the error:
Bluetooth: hci0: Bad flag given (0x1) vs supported (0x0)
SOLUTION: I forgot about bluetoothctl. So I scanned, paired, and connected the mouse from the terminal and it works great.
-
Open your terminal
-
Type bluetoothctl
-
Type scan on
-
Enable pair mode on your device (mouse, ear buds, speaker, etc)
Example: I had to turn on my new mouse and then hold the power button for 3 seconds until the light started to flash on and off
Bluetoothctl will print out the device information on the screen
Look for the mac address of the device, will look something like this: D1:3C:2C:DA:77:42 -
Type pair and the mac address
NOTE: If you just type the first two alphanumeric items and press tab bluetoothctl will fill in the rest for you
EXAMPLE: Type pair D1 and press tab and it will fill in the rest: pair D1:3C:2C:DA:77:42 -
Type connect and the mac address
NOTE: If you just type the first two alphanumeric items and press tab bluetoothctl will fill in the rest for you
EXAMPLE: Type connect D1 and press tab and it will fill in the rest: connect D1:3C:2C:DA:77:42 -
Type exit
-
Rule the world
I did pair the new mouse on a Windows laptop so I know it works.
I have tried the following without success:
-Unpair old mouse and only pair new mouse
-Unpair old mouse, stop/restart bluetooth.service and pair new mouse
-Installed Kernel 6.14.rc.4-1 and pair only new mouse
-Tried new battery in new mouse (not just the one that comes with it)
-Cursed at it
I can pair/unpair/pair my old mouse without issue. Can also pair/unpair BT ear buds, and a BT speaker without issue.
Any idea why the new mouse won’t pair?
I have included my Bluetooth.service info, Plasma Details, DMesg info, and my ini info below.
Thanks!
