Bluetooth not working properly. Not detecting devices
This solution worked for me
I am happy to report that I have solved the problem using the workaround given on a bug report as follows:
- Boot into Windows 7/8.
- Turn off the Bluetooth/Wireless switch from within Windows.
- Reboot and boot into Linux
- Turn on the wireless switch.
This solution ensures that bluetooth and wireless now work.
Discovered the workaround here
Try the following
sudo mv /etc/bluetooth /etc/bluetooth.backup
sudo apt-get install --reinstall bluez
After a reboot check the issue. The /etc/bluetooth directory should be empty now.
If this does not work for you, just move back the bluetoth.backup directory to it's original place.
(or)
Missing Firm-ware could also be an issue and you can fix it with the command
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware
Hope this helps!
upgrading the kernel from 3.13 to 3.16 solved the issue for me LTSEnablementStack
