Hello!
Despite some editor/server issues, I was finally able to modify the OP. Thank you, Jerry - for straightening that out, and for everything else you do around here for us!
Now, back to your post. You can get more information here:

Hello!
Bluetooth has several different versions. I believe the latest is 4.0. AFAIK, for Linux, blueman is the only game in town.
I, too, have problems with some of my headsets connecting properly. I have a Bluetooth Android tablet that has VERY choppy audio on my 5-year old Motorola headset, but is fine with the newer 'cheapie' headsets. Likewise, on my PC with an older, generic adapter, my old headset connects fine, but the newer ones will not. Go figure...

Is Blueman the only BT app/prog/client available? I'm having intermittant connectivity issues although it could be the cheap, knockoff headset. The authentic LG Tone headset seems to work fine all the time.

Hello!
Before I go any further, let me say again that it was a team effort. Colin23erk's efforts were instrumental in finding this solution. I just helped with some of the research, and wrote up the results.
As important as blueman is to Bluetooth support in Linux, I don't see the PPA going away. Even if it does, by then, HOPEFULLY, Ubuntu, perhaps even Debian stable, will have this version in the repositories. The PPA is only to tide us over in the meantime.
BTW, this seems to affect all the 'Buntus, if not all of Linux that uses blueman for Bluetooth...
