XPS 13 9370 no bluetooth after suspend

I got a new XPS 13 a couple of days ago. Everything works great with Ubuntu *except* for bluetooth. After a suspend, the bluetooth is lost and doesn't come back. I tried to remove and install the bluetooth driver with `modprobe -r btusb; modprobe btusb` and to restart the bluetooth service but neither things worked. I also reinstalled from factory defaults (just in case) and the problem persists.

    I have the same issue on 4.15.0-12-generic. Mine appeared after the last XPS firmware update. I'm going to log a support ticket this morning.

    Cheers

    Okay! Fixed. Steps to resolve (for me)

    1. Reboot to BIOS.

    2. Go to Wireless tab.

    3. Disable Bluetooth and Apply.

    4. Re-enable Bluetooth and Apply.

    5. Exit and boot.

    Bluetooth back.

    Same issue here with Ubuntu 18.04 / Linux 4.15.0-12-generic / BIOS 1.2.1.

    Do use 16.04? I'm asking because Dell Support sugested trying 16.04 first.

    I am also on 18.04 - I have another issue (touchpad hardware problem) and am waiting on a new unit so I rolled forward to 18.04 to have a look at the new Gnome. But it worked fine post-that upgrade. The only change I can see is I updated the BIOS last night when prompted.

    For me it fixes itself after a few suspends (as well as a reboot). But the problem recurs.

    I spoke too soon. :)

    Problem re-appears periodically and requires a reboot to fix. Does anyone have a workaround for resetting Bluetooth WITHOUT a reboot? I have tried a bunch of things but it's like the device disappears. :(

    Also rescanning the PCI devices with

    # echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan

    does not solve the problem

    I have the same problem with my new 9370 device. It also happens during work without suspend. I need to reboot the machine an disable/enable bluetooth in BIOS. Please fix this asap or give us a good workaround.
