Now the bluetooth mouse works in gnome-shell but Gnome Settings > Bluetooth still says no bluetooth is found.

From the journal, this looks suspicious:

That works for me in F24 MATE-Compiz so yes it seems to be. I couldn't transfer anything over obex until doing this:

cd /usr/lib/systemd/user/
ln -s obex.service dbus-org.bluez.obex.service

Well half way there with obex, I can send files to my phone but not receive them. any help would be appreciated, I've added it as a trusted device and have the blueman transfer set to receive from trusted devices.

I can confirm that this works around the problem for me.

Fresh F24 install, and I hit the `Unit dbus-org.bluez.obex.service not found.` error when trying to do a Bluetooth file transfer.

Up-to-date Fedora 24 KDE: I've had similar problems. My Mobile couldn't send files to my laptop, laptop could pair with the mobile though. Installing obex and

cd /usr/lib/systemd/user/
ln -s obex.service dbus-org.bluez.obex.service

solved the problem, now I can exchange files with mobile devices.

This is probably neither Gnome nor KDE fault then.

same problem, solution above worked. thanks

FYI a more user friendly way to achieve this is:
https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/94337/bluetooth-isnt-working/?answer=94342#post-id-94342

pasting answer here:

sudo dnf install bluez-obexd
systemctl --user start obex
sudo systemctl --global enable obex

sudo dnf install bluez-obexd
systemctl --user start obex
sudo systemctl --global enable obex

Works allright! (Up-to-date F24 KDE)

Any plans to fix this so it works out of the box? Seems not user-friendly
