--- Comment #6 from sergio.callegari at gmail.com ---
Issue persists with current LibO 6.3.1.2 and most likely due to the fact that
the bluetooth stack on linux (bluez) has changed in the past years and impress
has not cought up.

Problem is now more visible due to the startup tooltips in Impress 6.3.x which
explicitly introduce the impress remote functionality inviting the users to
test it. Goes like: start Impress -> see tooltip -> get interested -> download
and install phone app -> try -> fail -> get disappointed and remove phone app.

Because the phone based remote is one of those little things with a great wow
factor that makes LibO really shine out and amaze people when used in front of
an audience, it would really be great if the functionality could be restored.
It is literally a little big thing helping getting a foot in the door.

In fact, I suppose that if one could also add a "spotlight" and "zoom"
functionality in it (in addition to the pointer) and the ability to use the
phone accelerometers for moving the pointer (in place of the finger on the
screen) it would make LibO a serious contender for all those coveting the
"Logitech spotlight" that is currently the hot thing in presentations selling
for over $100. See also https://github.com/jahnf/Projecteur .
