Hello
first thing I'd check is the bluetooth service is running chkconfig --list bluetooth
you should see something like this bluetooth 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:offif you start fedora in the default setting (run level 5 aka graphical mode) you will want to see 5:on, usually bluetooth is enabled but sleeping and should awaken when you plug your bluetooth device in.
To enable it (you will have to be root)su -
password
chkconfig --level 5 bluetooth on
To start it manually (it's been a while but I think it's) service bluetooth start

Next thing to try is bluetooth wizard, you'll be shocked and stunned to find you need to type bluetooth-wizardand lastly when you want to check the status type bluetooth-properties
that's about my knowledge limit for bluetooth, the few times I've needed it to work it just did :D

Try the following and see if it helps

sudo systemctl restart bluetooth.service

"sudo systemctl restart bluetooth.service" is working for me. thanks!

but when i restart fedora i always have to type that again, not a really handy solution. any suggestions to make bluetooth working permanently? thank you in advance for your efforts!
