Bluetooth issue in Debian teting

Hello all,

Excuse me, if I'm posting this to the wrong place. If possible, point me to the correct place to post this, if this isn't.

My laptop came with a Broadcom bluetooth adapter. When I try to enable it gets enabled but doesn't show any nearby devices.

I once tried to fix specified in [1]. It worked for some time and after some upgrade it stopped working again. I have re-installed the operating system since then (not for this reason).

I am currently unable to use it to transfer files (or) connect devices. The only thing I could do is to watch it "trying" to detect devices. What could be the issue?

Device Information:

Laptop Vendor : DELL
Laptop Model : 3542
Debian version : 4.9.30-1 (2017-06-04) (stretch)
Kernel version : 4.9.0-3-amd64
