Bluetooth on HP 470 G

Hey guys!

I am trying to connect my phone (it's not smartphone) to the laptop HP G470 but the bluetooth on the laptop doesn't seem to work. I followed another thread here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=155759 and got the blueman starting at boot but that's all. Once started the blueman window shows every option in gray and trying to 'Setup New Device'  from the applet gives 'NO ADAPTERS FOUND' window. The bluetooth device is enabled in the BIOS and the 'Fast Boot' option is unchecked.

Here are the outputs

Re: Bluetooth on HP 470 G

I think this might be of use: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtbth-dkms/
I don't have a Realtek based system, so I could be wrong.  YMMV

Thank you, ewaller!
Tried the link you suggest but it doesn't work.
Here http://wirama.web.id/rt3290-bluetooth-o … 12-04-lts/ is a version for older kernel which works partially - it starts the 'Setup New Device' process and the laptop recognizes the phone and the phone recognizes the laptop. And here it ends. Although I trusted the phone the pairing fails and on the phone I get 'Not allowed!' message. Setting the laptop as always visible makes no difference and gives the same result.
