This is reported against an old version of Ubuntu and many things has changed since then. Because of that we won't fix this issue however if this behavior repeats on a modern version please fill a bug report against it and we will take it from there.

I disconnected from the iPhone using the network indicator and then try to connect again and it will not connect not matter how many times I try to connect. Even though at this point Ubuntu is disconnected from the iPhone the iPhone still shows that there is 1 connection. I try to open the Bluetooth preferences to see what I can do from there but it now takes a very long time for the bluetooth preferences to open and when they do it says that the bluetooth is turned off even though it is not. The only way to recover from this now is to restart the computer and then open the bluetooth config and delete the iPhone pair. This way we can re-pair the iphone and get the first connection to work again! I have compiled a little video of the above steps so that you can see for yourself. You can see it here: http://youtu.be/AemTmwYBvbE If you need me to provide anything else just let me know.
