I checked the package it is Tech-Com SSD-BT-819 and it is working fine on Windows 7. I am noob to Ubunu making transition from windows to Linux. — Gaurav Agarwal, Mar 11 '13 at 12:22
I think you need to install the drivers.something like custom drivers. — Raja G, Mar 11 '13 at 12:27
Please post the results of lsusb as @Jai asked ;) See http://askubuntu.com/questions/184475/dell-laptops-bluetooth-isnt-detected-by-ubuntu for pointers (you need to find the hardware ID before anyone can help). — Rinzwind, Mar 11 '13 at 12:29

You might want to try

add "blacklist hci_usb" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, and add "hci_usb reset=1" to /etc/modules

another idea if this fails is to look for a suitable firmware and update the firmware of your dongle via dfutool. I just mentioned this as an annotation, haven't had problems with bluetooth devices myself.
