How to connect a2dp bluetooth headset on Ubuntu 16.04

The bluetooth stereo headset on Ubuntu has been in trouble for some time.
To solve it, I have read different techniques but in several you have to edit and configure files.
I found a quick and easy way to connect and enable the a2dp function (stereo) on your headset with just execute one file.

You can download it from the github project or directly:

https://gist.github.com/pylover/d68be364adac5f946887b85e6ed6e7ae
or
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/pylover/d68be364adac5f946887b85e6ed6e7ae/raw/763ef4ef7245665b55024a3a76794808c3b6a322/a2dp.py

Just execute it with python3 and select your mac address device that you want to connect.
If you use pavucontrol, you can see on configuration tab, that your device appears with a High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink) profile.
Enjoy it!

How to fix Android when developer options are not available for this user

Image
I have an Android One with Oreo version and suddenly my Android rebooted and after that it started to behave strangely: 1) Notification section doesn't work. I can't see notifications from my apps and the arrow and the screw icon to settings access don't work. 2) As I can't access to the notification area, I can't enable Use USB to Transfer Files to access to my phone memory. 3) I can't access to developer mode (I before active it with a lot of taps over Build number). Clicking on developer options just shows developer options are not available to this user. 4) I can't update or install the apps on google play. They freeze on Download pending... message 5) Home and Switch buttons don't work. They light up and vibrate when I tap them but they do nothing. This issue is apparently related to a deconfiguration of user accounts. To fix it, you need re-setup the users. As you can't access to the user manager (you are in guest mode ...
