Cannot connect Surface Pen in Surface Pro 3

I've a Surface Pro 3 with gnome and kernel linux-surfacepro3 4.4.1-2 (as wifi doesn't work well in kernel 4.5). Most things have worked out of the box, but I haven't been able to connect the pen. In the Blootooth screen I can see "Surface pen" disconnected, when I press the purple button of the pen it connects for a brief moment (less than a second), and then it returns to disconnect.

PD: I've tried the wiki suggestions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mi … ng_the_Pen , but nothing has changed. My problem is different, it's not an issue with the buttons, in my case the tablet doesn't connect the pen. I din't think that there's a missing packageproblem, I've installed bluez, bluez-libs and bluez-tools. xf86-input-synapctics and xf86-input-wacom.

Sorry, I scaled the images, but I didn't know that 640x480 was too big. I've written several posts today, I'll change the images in all of them with the link. My apologies.
