Title:
  Bluetooth not working

Status in gnome-bluetooth package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I can't make use of Bluetooth on a Quantal laptop, freshly installed
  with the release version of Quantal and kept up-to-date from there.

  Symptoms:

   * No bluetooth icon shows up in my menu bar, even though I've enabled
  bluetooth in the bluetooth preferences.

   * The "add device" window just scans forever, and never lists any
  devices even though I know there are bluetooth-visible phones nearby.
  It doesn't ever seem to time out either.

   * I did previously manage to pair to my phone, although I never got
  the pairing functioning properly.  I can't turn it on in the UI: the
  grayed-out ON/OFF button simply does not respond.

   * Nor can I initiate the connection from the phone, on that same
  pairing, even with the laptop made visible for good measure.  The
  phone says the laptop is not responding.

   * Deleting the existing pairing (on both the phone and the laptop)
  does not make the phone visible in the devices list.  It still scans
  forever without showing anything.

   * A different phone which I've never paired with before does not show
  up in the listing either (after telling it to make itself visible and,
  again for good measure, making the laptop visible as well).

  My old laptop, continually upgraded from beta to beta and finally
  arriving at Quantal, had similar problems in its final days.  On that
  laptop I saw things degrade in steps over Precise and Quantal — a
  pairing dialogue showing up once briefly but never again so I couldn't
  complete the pairing; Nautilus crashing right after listing files on a
  remote phone; inability to pair; existing pairings no longer working.
  I thought that might be the nVidia chipset or the aging hardware, but
  there's no nVidia in my new laptop and things are no better.

  The problem may lie somewhere deeper than gnome-bluetooth, but I don't
  know enough about the bluetooth infrastructure to report to the right
  package.
