always need to disconnect and then reconnect to get HFP functional

Hi.

I'm using bluez 5.50 on the Fedora 29 4.200.6 kernel with a Jabra
Extreme2 headset.

I can always end up getting it working but it takes a bit of rigmarole.

Using bluetoothctl, when I power the headset on I get this:

[CHG] Device 50:C9:71:83:EC:70 Connected: yes

But at this point only the A2DP profile is usable.  I can switch to HFP
(i.e. using pavucontrol) but the headset is not visible as a device to
which I can change a recording device.  The "Monitor" for it is there,
but not the regular entry.

In order to rectify this I have to do the following:

[Jabra EXTREME2 v4.14.0]# disconnect 50:C9:71:83:EC:70
Attempting to disconnect from 50:C9:71:83:EC:70
Successful disconnected
[CHG] Device 50:C9:71:83:EC:70 Connected: no
[bluetooth]# connect 50:C9:71:83:EC:70
Attempting to connect to 50:C9:71:83:EC:70
Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed
[bluetooth]# connect 50:C9:71:83:EC:70
Attempting to connect to 50:C9:71:83:EC:70
Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed
[bluetooth]# connect 50:C9:71:83:EC:70
Attempting to connect to 50:C9:71:83:EC:70
[CHG] Device 50:C9:71:83:EC:70 Connected: yes
Connection successful
[CHG] Device 50:C9:71:83:EC:70 ServicesResolved: yes
[Jabra EXTREME2 v4.14.0]# 

At this point, I can now see the headset as an option in the device
selection for an application listed in the Recording tab of
pavucontrol.

I have to go through this same rigmarole *every* single time I power on
the headset, so surely this has to be fixable.

Any ideas?  More information I can provide, etc.

Cheers,
b.
