on occasion i make sure to forget the device, and re-pair, which addresses the no connect issue, once that is done it connects, even to my car fairly reliably - but I feel bluetooth is like a dance, you have to have your feet in the right place at the right time so you don’t step on your partners feet, there is no stuttering except:
- at beginning of connection
- when you leave the bluetooth scanning gnome settings page open while streaming
- as mentioned above sometimes you need to toggle not only the L5 bluetooth but the other device as well to get it to connect
