Rayner Pires, as per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/inspiron-15r-se-7520/drivers an update to your BIOS is available (A10). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything?  If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Title:
  [Dell Inspiron 15R SE 7520] Bluetooth mouse constantly disconnecting

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu is constantly disconnecting my bluetooth mouse. Actually, the pointing service is being interrupted due to constant queries on mouse's battery state. Every time the battery level is queried the bluetooth mouse stops moving and clicking, requering I manually open the bluetooth config panel, switch the mouse connection off, and then move and click the mouse some times until it gets connected and pointing again.
  The problem seems to be solved after I've killed upowerd process. Is it a bug on upower daemon?

  Briefly, what happens is: ubuntu queries the battery charge level of
  the mouse and it does stop pointing. After getting the battery level,
  the mouse pointing feature does not automatically return as it was.

  I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.3 x86_64, with kernel #66~precise1-Ubuntu (3.5.0-43-generic)
