Someone please! The "settings" app tells me "no bluetooth found" and I just want to know if it's an HW or SW issue...
I can confirm, bluetooth does not work on my PineTab with mobian. I can't swipe the little switch from grey to blue. It says no bluetooth found.

I have used lshw and it doesn't list a bluetooth device, so it looks like it isn't supported yet.

Thank You @ichbins and @n3rDy for clarifying. What made me wonder is that AFAIK BT works on the PinePhone what uses the same Wifi Chip. My old Belkin USB BT Stick is recognized also. Anyway, if it's SW related, I'm OK with that.

Screen resolution in landscape mode was not correct recognized. Most apps sclae like on portrait. Even when the orientation is landscape. And in settings it is not changeable. It remains on portrait

Internal bluetooth doesn't work. I inserted a USB bluetooth dongle, however, and that works fine (at least for audio -- I haven't tried anything else).

No, should work. Have you flashed the latest build,at least 20201113 ? Is it "docked"?  I can confirm that settings have no effect on orientation, but the button on the top works.

Bluetooth works with mobian on my PinePhone and on my PineTab it does not work.

Yes, for some reason BT doesn't work on the PineTab, I still need to find time to debug this.

I'm not a developer, so I'm not sure if this makes a difference but internal BT doesn't work. My BT dongle does work.

Yes, this was a device tree issue, as the internal wifi wasn't properly declared, "generic" BT functionality always worked fine.

(note the use of "was" in the above sentence Wink )
