I just tested again with network-manager 0.9.8.0-0ubuntu16> I see the same problem. Actually, after connecting twice to phone the indicator disappeared entirely.
The "nmcli c list" command run in a terminal shows the correct name of the connection and "nmcli c up" can be used to activate it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1180368 Title: Network indicator displays random text for bluetooth network name Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The attached images tell most of the story.
