This bug affects me too (Toshiba Portege Z30-A-19L on 15.04 with bluetooth-indicator 0.0.6+14.10.20141006-0ubuntu1 ) and another user using a Toshiba Notebook that I stumbled upon while searching for a solution (http://askubuntu.com/questions/628454/indicator-bluetooth- service-high-cpu-and-memory-usage)
I have a Intel Corporation Wireless 3160 with integrated Bluetooth. In my dmesg log I get a lot of [ 715.433253] toshiba_bluetooth: Re-enabling Toshiba Bluetooth [ 715.920854] Bluetooth: hci0: read Intel version: 370710010002030d00 [ 715.920896] Bluetooth: hci0: Intel Bluetooth firmware file: intel/ibt-hw-37.7.10-fw-1.0.2.3.d.bseq [ 716.122078] Bluetooth: hci0: Intel Bluetooth firmware patch completed and activated removeing the toshiba_bluetooth kernel (kernel version 3.19.0-28-generic) module seems to alleviate the problem -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-bluetooth in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1465664 Title: gradual/exponential increase in memory use of indicator-bluetooth Status in indicator-bluetooth package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: indicator-bluetooth (0.0.6+14.10.20141006-0ubuntu1) starts automatically after boot, and its memory use increases continuously, gradually and exponentially, to the point that it reaches the system limit. Then it causes overheating and crashes the system requiring a reboot only possible forcefully by on/off switch of the computer. When I kill the process from system monitor to avoid this happening, it starts from zero again (automatically) and restart the gradual increase of memory use. Obviously there's a loop, but I couldn't figure out or find the reason or how to solve this. I can not remove indicator-bluetooth permanently due to package dependencies. This started happening after I upgraded from 14.10 to 15.04. My computer is Toshiba Portege Z930 with 8 GB memory (which becomes used up in app. 30 minutes), Intel® Core™ i7-3687U CPU and Intel® Ivybridge Mobile graphics card.
