Issue in connecting bluetooth device in Gnome Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

I was trying to connect my Bluetooth headset device with my laptop running on  Gnome Ubuntu 16.04.

It was detecting the device; however, in front of the device it was showing "Not Set Up". Also, I could not open device settings by clicking on the device.



After googling, I found this SOF answer stating to unblock the device.

Quick reference here
  • Run the command sudo rfkill list 

  • Note down the device number (I highlighted my device number in the output)
  • Run the command sudo rfkill unblock [Device Number]
  • Make sure that it is unblocked using sudo rfkill list command

  • Close bluetooth settings dialog and open again
  • Now it should be able to connect and you should be able to see the device settings.
