Bluetooth fails to work on client

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am running manjaro 0.8.10 and blueman-bluez5-git from the aur on my laptop 
and I can connect through bluetooth normally to my device (Samsung Galaxy S4 
Mini). But when I try to enable bluetooth on the desktop client I get this 
error in the log.

Is there any explanation to why this doesn't work

Same here, also on manjaro.

Hi there,

I have the same problem. I still don't know if it will work out for you or not, 
since I did a lot of install/uninstall before finding this, but I hadn't any 
problem when I ran compatibility mode on bluetooth (sudo service bluetooth stop 
&& add '-C' or '--compat' to ExecStart line in 
/usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service && sudo service bluetooth start)
AND ran android-desktop-notifier with privileges (sudo 
/usr/share/android-notifier-desktop/run.sh).

I was able to pair over Bluetooth, but I had su theming, meaning that other bad 
stuff could certainly be done (?)

Anyhow, right now I'm thinking that it is a permissions problem, but I cannot 
find which permissions I should change...

On Fedora 21 64-bit (kernel 3.18.7), bluez 5.23, xfce 4.11 (nonamedotc copr), 
using bluedevil as bluetooth front-end
