Ubuntu 20.04, Bluetooth True wireless headphones not working (work in previous version) Sony WF-1000XM3

First of all, sorry for my poor English.

I upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04, clean installation, and my bluetooth headphones stop working/connecting.

• I put them in pairing mode, Ubuntu recognized them.
• if I click on connect, Ubuntu says that it is 'connected'.
• BUT the headphones on connect always say 'Bluetooth Connected' on their speaker. And in this case, nothing. I think the headphone stays in pairing mode.

The headphones are Sony WF-1000XM3. My last version of Ubuntu was 18.04 LTE and it works and connects with no problems at all.

I can provide logs if you need.

I had the same problem. reading your question I realized that you were right, the headphones never warned me that it was connected so they were still in pairing mode.

Once the pairing was done I turned them off, then turned them on again and it worked without problems.

Greetings my friend.

I had a similar issue, I was able to resolve it by using the bluetoothctl

just connect to the tool and remove the record of the device that fail to connect

bluetoothctl
[bluetooth]#show
[bluetooth]#devices
[bluetooth]#remove <mac address of the device with the issue>

attempt to connect now
