Bug Description

ubuntu-system-settings 0.1+14.04.20140109.2-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu 14.04

My hands-free system works the "reverse" way in that the phone needs to be made visible for the car to connect to it, which is currently impossible with the Bluetooth panel.

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bluetooth#Discoverability>: "The way of making the phone discoverable should be by navigating to the System Settings “Bluetooth” screen, with Bluetooth on, for more than one second. To indicate this..."

  [ Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre ]
  * Implement discoverability and some bluetooth fixes: -
    Discoverability: make the system visible to other bluetooth devices
    - Trusted: when successfully paired and connected, mark device as
    Trusted so it can automatically connect again. - Connect the Audio
    interface for all audio devices, including Headsets. Some bluetooth
    audio devices that don't contain a microphone still show up as
    Headsets, and won't connect successfully otherwise. This will still
    work for standard headsets, since Audio connects all audio
    interfaces. - Stop discovery when a device is selected for
    connection, and it sometimes causes connection attempts to fail.
