Embarrassing. Hopefully, we’ll fix it soon.

This seems to be fixed in 4.4 (tested with XA2 Ultra) but it’s not mentioned in changelog. I’ll confirm this with X10II, too, which also suffers from the same issue.

Not fixed for me.

Works for me. My problem is turning on Bluetooth via the top menu doesn’t automatically connect to my headphones, whereas doing it from Setting does.

This should already have been tagged as “tracked” since we have an internal report about it. It’s now tagged with this.

Same issue on my new X10 III (4.4.0.68), with 100% reproducibility. This happens after each reboot. I need to turn Bluetooth off/on or switch the Flight mode on/off for the status bar indicator to appear and the quick-toggle button to show correct state.

P.S. If I want to do it using the quick-toggle button itself (which after reboot incorrectly shows inactive state), I have to press it TWICE, because the first time actually turns Bluetooth OFF (so the state of the quick-toggle button doesn’t change as it was already off), and only the second press turns Bluetooth back on and makes the quick-toggle button show active state.

What’s strange, I have never, not a single time, seen this issue on my XA2 Ultra, whereas on the 10 III it happens after each single reboot.

This is now fixed, at least for me, with 4.5.0.

Yes indeed. I could have sworn i saw it in the release notes, but apparently not.
