I am configuring my bluetooth device on my laptop using this wiki entry:
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Bluetooth
I am using the btusb module, the bluetooth device is detected:

it's neither discovering my phone nor the other way around, it cannot scan any of the bluetooth devices that my phone has discovered
I see no messages in journalctl or dmesg at the time

| The Bluetooth controller might require firmware to function, especially if it's a USB device. You can check the output of dmesg for any attempts to load firmware. |

I wonder if the version of BlueZ that you are using is the cause of the problem? For several months Bluetooth stopped working for me but started working again recently after a world update (~amd64). In case it is of any help, here are the Bluetooth-related packages installed currently on my main laptop (I'm using KDE):

| Which chipset does your controller have and which kernel options did you enable? |

| There is an open issue at the official rtlwifi repository regarding your problem. It seems that the in-kernel rtl8723be driver doesn't fully support Bluetooth yet. There is also an out-of-tree rtl8723be driver that has been reported to work. |

I guess it just doesn't work.
If you can't do without Bluetooth, your best option is to get a USB Bluetooth adapter that is known to work with Linux.

If it helps I have listed some upstreaming efforts at :
