#2I bought an Asus Chromebook recently and one of the intentions was to pair it to my iPhone to get internet connectivity while commuting to work. Turns out Chromebooks can't pair with phones, I have to use a wifi hotspot instead.

#3I've never known Bluetooth to not produce a miserable experience at some time or another. It's inconsistently bad in some cases too. I hate setting up bluetooth on my car the most, I need to "Talk" to my car, and I can't just do it while stopped at a red light, I have to shut off my car and do it before I go. I still havent redone it since I upgraded phones last year... I just plug into the aux port while driving.

#4That's too bad, because they got very good products.
I love my jabra elite 65 t, they are the first ones that allowed me to make peace with the dreaded wireless ear plugs. I basically live with them, I can't recall the last time I put my phone on my ear or put the music on speakers.
But yes, I can't make them work with my Ubuntu laptop.
This sucks, especially for a 180 euros product.

It can pair with phones: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/7457148
Just not iPhones, apparently.
Though the WiFi hotspot feature on my Android is just easier anyway.

#6Anyone have a Bluetooth earbuds that works flawlessly with Ubuntu?
I recently got a pair of Funcl AI buds, works great with my phone but I connect on computer and there's constant skipping. I gather this is a common problem.

#7I'd think that if the reseller sold the device as being capable of working with bluetooth v4 and the A2DP profile, only for that not to be the case, then you absolutely have the right to take it up with them.
Surely by their not advertising the dongle limitation, that's a problem of their own making & they should honour your return. If they've a problem with that, they take it up with Jabra but leave you out of it.
After all, you've got a device that speaks Bluetooth so you've got something that the product declares it'll be compatible with, and the product just.. Isn't!

#8Seems to be a clear-cut case of false advertising if not wire fraud. Have you contacted the FTC?

There are good ones on sale for AliExpress for $13, very good ones!
I just gifted these to my girlfriend for Valentines.

Chromebooks CAN pair with Android mobile phones, just not iPhones, where as you say, you need to create a WiFi hotspot.
