Bluetooth doesn't work

[Vladimir Ustinov]

I can turn it on and off change visibility and so on. I can use any console tools for it - everything looks fine.
But it looks like it is only visibility of working because it can’t find any devices nearby and can’t be found.

I've check all related topics and try all possible solutions/advices - no result.

I saw that thread as write previously. I've checked all that I can before write here.

As a bottom side of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1560473 new kernel fix this.
With 4.6.0-040600rc2-generic bluetooth works as it should, no other changes made.

Current version 16.04 now have support for this hardware.
