hp

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.

The output of rfkill list :-

0: hci0: Bluetooth

Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

1: phy0: Wireless LAN

Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

2: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN

Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

3: hp-bluetooth: Bluetooth

I have seen in some version of Ubuntu that instead of making a huge change to update to the latest kernel, they take some of the good stuff out of it, for the sake of stability and put it on a previous version.
