In my Hp Pavillion dv6 6155-tx everything is working just fine except for the Bluetooth. I have pretty much tried every bluetooth software out there but none seems to work. It seems that the driver is not installed or something like that. When i search for new devices it just dont find any device and the vice versa. Please kindly help me ! I am frustrated for more than 4 months now searching for some answers.

2: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN

Ok finally i did some research and i was able to solve the mistery of the BLUETOOTH not working.

As per this - https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3498 the the radio was OFF all the time.

so to turn on the radio as they said - sudo bccmd psset -s 0x0000 0x028c 0x0001

and then i did - sudo service bluetooth restart

followed by a restart of the computer and then pressing the NETWORK BUTTON(f12) ON/OFF button twice to disable and then enable it and guess what it worked like a charm i can now connect everything.
