My notebook isn't visible to other Bluetooth devices

Hello,

I have a Bluetooth issue, I can't make my phone a network device because my notebook isn't visible and everytime I try to connect, it times out. Issuing commands like file browsing from the notebook works but that's all.

I'm using gnome3, systemd. I had to reinstall archlinux (due to a hdd problem), but it worked before.
The bluetooth daemon is running and is loaded after dbus.

$ pacman -Qqs blue
blueman
bluez
bluez-firmware
gnome-bluetooth
gvfs-obexftp

$ hciconfig -a

$ lsusb | grep -i blue

$ systemctl status bluetooth.service

The visibility swich in the gnome-applet turns on/off ISCAN but it has no effect.

I tried this but no luck:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bl … 7t_visible

I could not find any bluetooth releated lines in /var/log

I can pair the notebook with the phone though.

Any guess what's happening or why it is not working properly?
