I've been using a Logitech M720 on my Dell XPS 9370. It has Ubuntu 18.04.1LTS installed.

Before a certain date, the mouse worked fine over Bluetooth. After a recent update (I can't remember which one). Now, the mouse works fine one moment, but is completely unresponsive a moment later. These periods of working/non-working are about equally long, say 10 seconds. I haven't tried any other Bluetooth device with the pc yet, but in Windows (it's dual boot) the mouse works fine.

I tried updating/upgrading to all the newest packages on the system using

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade

The output "dmesg | grep Blue" is the following:

[    6.095068] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22

[    6.095079] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized

[    6.095082] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized

[    6.095083] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized

[    6.095086] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer initialized

[    6.241043] Bluetooth: hci0: using rampatch file: qca/rampatch_usb_00000302.bin

Using;

sudo hcidump -x -i hciX

, I can monitor the events of the mouse while it's working. While the mouse is not responding no messages are coming in. These logs are pretty long, so not sure if I should post it too.

Any help is much appreciated!

For anyone who has similar problems, I installed TLP power management without any configuration from my side. Disabling power saving for Bluetooth devices in TLP fixed the problem.
