Is this still happening with the latest update ?

Comment 3 Peter H. Jones 2012-07-25 07:52:00 UTC
I'm not getting crashes any more. However, I am unable to transfer a file to a Bluetooth device because of a lacking "service record". This is happening with several different Bluetooth devices.

I have similar crash/hard freeze.

Comment 5 Valent Turkovic 2012-09-12 09:15:42 UTC
There is same bug on Fedora 16:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768153

Is anybody working on this issue upstream? Is there an upstrem bug that we can track and give feedback to?

Comment 6 Valent Turkovic 2012-10-15 10:15:44 UTC
Just tried using bluetooth on freshly updated Fedora 17 machine, and it freezes! What is going on with bluetooth stack? Is it totally broken?

Comment 7 Valent Turkovic 2012-10-29 12:13:57 UTC
On Fedora 17 this bug is still present, even after all kernel updates. Come on guys fix this bug, it makes whole bluetooth subsystem unusable!

Comment 8 Justin M. Forbes 2013-02-01 15:48:31 UTC
This bug is being closed because it has been set needinfo for more than 2 weeks without a response. If this is still an issue, please reopen and reply with the requested information.

What infos do you need?
At https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768153 the issue is well explained.
A few days ago I installed the kernel version 3.6.11-5.fc17.i686.PAE (before also versions 3.4.x, 3.5.x) from repositories and my PC still freezes with the same kernel error message.
My hardware worked fine with Fedora 13.

How I get the freeze:
a) I plug my bluetooth adapter into a usb port;
b) after pairing, I send a few files from my phone to my PC and from the PC to the phone;
c) I do nothing for a few seconds; sometimes I unplug my adapter and plug in it again;
d) I send again some file from the phone to my PC and the freeze occurs, every time.
