Gnome Bluetooth not detecting devices -- Arch Linux

Question

I have GNOME installed on my Arch Linux which is dual booted with a Windows 11 OS.

Problem:
Gnome bluetooth turns on/off but does not detect devices.
Screenshots:
When its OFF:

When its ON:

Its not detecting any nearby devices (nothing is rotating beside the "Devices" label).
BUT it (the PC) is being detected by my Samsung Phone's bluetooth but is unable to connect to it (not unusual).

I tried some other websites on the internet. Accordingly,
When I ran sudo rfkill list,
Output:

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no

Also, sudo systemctl status bluetooth, yielded

So, it does seem that bluetooth is working properly

What I tried:

Attempt 1:

1. sudo systemctl stop bluetooth
2. sudo systemctl start bluetooth
3. reboot >> not working

Attempt 2:

1. sudo systemctl disable bluetooth
2. sudo systemctl enable bluetooth
3. reboot >> no luck

Attempt 3:

1. sudo pacman -S blueman
2. WORKS well kinda...

With blueman, I have to press the search button to search for other devices and when it finds something, gnome-settings also gets updated (magically) with that but does not do any further detection...

Doesn't that solve my problem?
Ans: Of course NOT!

How Should I get gnome-settings to detect other bluetooth devices in real time?

(I had a previous Arch install with GNOME like a month ago and it did not have this problem.)

Answer 1

Open Terminal and type

sudo pacman -S bluez bluez-utils blueman

and then turn off bluetooth and then turn on

If this dosen't works then after that trying that do this

Go to settings -> Applications -> Bluetooth Manager -> Scan Devices
