Bluetooth not working failed to set mode: Failed (0x03)

Just installed Arch for the first time last night so still new to this. I am trying to install Bluetooth so I could use my bluetooth headphones, however I cant seem to get it to work. I already went to Arch wiki and RTFM but I didnt get what I should've gotten and I am unclear as for why. I have the service installed and enable but it doesn't see any devices.

systemctl status bluetooth.serivce gives me this

trying to launch bluetoothctl doesn't seem to work since it fails to power on (returns error after a long delay)

Failed to set power on: org.bluez.Error.Failed

I am running an external USB dongle so I referred to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bl … USB_Dongle. however the journalctl -f gives me

Re: Bluetooth not working failed to set mode: Failed (0x03)

Found the issue. turns out my adapter is using the Cambridge Silicon Radio 0a12:0001 chipset which are known to be not work properly for kernels 3.9.11 or higher.
