Hello folk,

there’s this annoying thing from Apple in bluetooth management which is hijacking your (paired of course) bt device in an exclusive way.

Is there a way to force bluez (on linux) to really take the lead? I mean, the device is paired and connected to but somehow, only Apple can play on it when around.

Apple having also this fucking habits to reactivate bluetooth and co after 24h. for the convenience of the user or to be user they could track you? :P

thank you

i know, by definition, apple == annoying

    Hello,

    I might not have been clear, sorry. Actually, it is when I activate the headphone, it get immediately connected to the iPhone 20m away while my headphone is litterally on my linux laptop. It does get connected few seconds later but won’t be able to play on it. So it is not really a matter of leaving a stream open.

    Also, the QC 45 is stated multi-point .

    thanks all

      So, Apple breaks all multipoint devices unless all connection are from Apple devices? Weird.

      I settled on different headphones for pc/linux and phones. I can’t afford to have an important call interrupted by something less important from an other device. Also switching from phone to linux takes to much fiddling.
