Bluetooth class isn't changed properly

[JuanPotato]

At first joycontrol wouldnt work on my laptop (running an xps 13 9370) so I tried to figure out what was wrong. My phone showed a "pro controller" but with a laptop icon so I checked the class with hciconfig and it was set to 0x0c010c for Laptop. I changed it to 0x002508 for Gamepad, ran joycontrol, but joycontrol seemed to revert it back to Laptop. I ran joycontrol and changed the class while it was running which worked. The switch connected and I was able to send inputs.

Interesting... It seems like the device class is reset when registering the SDP record. The Switch still connects fine for me though.

I created a pull request where I set the device class after registering the SDP record. Please check if that works for you.

I don't think this is needed since it was working in the end after enabling pairing

@JuanPotato Sorry I think I might have a similar problem:

sudo python3 ./run_controller_cli.py PRO_CONTROLLER
[13:29:29] joycontrol.device set_name::69 INFO - setting device name to Pro Controller...
[13:29:29] joycontrol.device set_class::61 INFO - setting device class to 0x002508...

[13:29:29] joycontrol.server create_hid_server::94 INFO - Waiting for Switch to connect... Please open the "Change Grip/Order" menu.

Is this due to the same issue? How do I change the bluetooth class while it was running? Thanks!

@Ruoruo-0v0 I had the same issue and think I just got it working. I used sudo hciconfig hciX class 0x002508 and then ran joycontrol and it worked. Running joycontrol reset it though so I had to run the command first each time I wanted to start joycontrol.

Changing the default class to 0x002508 in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf seems to be necessary to connect after the 12.0.0 update

How do you do that exactly

I'm also affected by this problem where joycontrol does not seem to set the 0x002508 class value correctly.

@l0nkDev I think it's the Class setting in that file.
