I am working on developing an app for Android that requires a bluetooth connection. I currently have the most recent version of android x86 installed using virtualbox on my linux mint 18.3 OS. Everything is working fine except one thing, bluetooth.

When I go to turn the bluetooth on, it says it is on temporarily, but then shuts off when I go back to the bluetooth settings.

As you can see, the bluetooth doesn't actually turn on. I have ported my laptop's integrated bluetooth to virtualbox, and my output from hciconfig -a is as shown below:

I really would like bluetooth to work so I can properly test the app, any help is appreciated!

I have the same problem with VirtualBox and androidx86 under windows 10 with a USB stick Cambridge Silicon Radio and

found this page http://andex.exton.net/?p=726 which states

  1. Bluetooth doesn’t work. (You can enable Bluetooth and see units though).

I would try with a hd install without Virtual Box. bye
