No, there is still the need to be paired with a device for the device to be activated (i.e. not idle, drawing more power than if it's normally enabled but not paired with anything).
This is just a change to the profiles that are seen by other devices as available on the system; so that the system will then also appear as a headset capable of stereo. There's a slight catch to it though: if the external device has bluetooth enabled and the pairing was previously done, the device might try to automatically pair again with the system. This will enable a connection and potentially use more power. I've tested this with my own Android phone; I unfortunately don't have an iPhone to test this with (but it's a valid test). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948613 Title: [FFE] Enable the Source and Gateway audio profiles in bluez by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/948613/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
