When Trying to connect to any device through the Device Search it always ends up empty, even when I have my phone, tablet and Bose SoundLink Mini bluetooth turned on at the same time.

enter image description here

I've tried to find my laptop through my phone, and my phone doesn't even find my laptop. (Visibility is on)

I found this: Ubuntu doesn't detect my Bluetooth receiver, how to fix it?

So here are my outputs of everything:

You can install a bluetooth driver this way

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rtl8723au-bt-dkms rtlwifi-new-dkms linux-firmware

and reboot.

But if you previously installed Realtek wireless drivers from another source, you need to uninstall them first.

    @Pilot6 I had the exact same problem. and solution worked charmingly. But, I can only send fies but not receive any files......... Please help me –  Jan 20 '16 at 11:40
  • You can search about receiving files in Ubuntu or ask a new question. I do not use BT for that. But I saw solutions. – Pilot6 Jan 20 '16 at 11:48
  • @Pilot6 Thank you, I always had this problem after every installation, so I had added this post to my favourite list and was using the exact solution. But recently I Installed Ubuntu 15.10 , Now when I try to install these it gives this error : E: Unable to locate package rtl8723au-bt-dkms , It would be really great if you would add what to do for ubuntu 15 to this answer. Please do not forget to ping me when you are finished ;-P – Severus Tux Feb 29 '16 at 02:12
  • That package is not needed for 15.10. – Pilot6 Feb 29 '16 at 07:01
  • Does that only work for Realtek? What about Bus 001 Device 011: ID 413c:8140 Dell Computer Corp. Wireless 360 Bluetooth? – Chloe Nov 24 '16 at 06:32
