Gnome-bluetooth doesn't work for me :( I don't know why, in console using hcitool I can scan for devices so bluetooth is generaly working, isn't it?

First I was trying to connect through console I cannot remember what program probably hcitool, but I failed to input PIN. I was trying in many difrent ways but I failed to archive anything.

Next step was to make things happen using gnome-bluetooth-manager, but it even failed to found any devices... WHY?

Then I found that marvelous program blueman, excellent GUI and I managed to connect insert PIN and it is actually working pretty well, BBBUUUTTT it depends on:
app-mobilephone/obexd
app-mobilephone/obex-data-server
And the problem is that they are blocked by net-wireless/gnome-bluetooth, so I need to resign from one of them the choice is quite easy, but still I like gnome and I would like to be able to use gnome-bluetooth :roll:

So how use bluetooth on gnome? Is blueman the only solution?

Yes, looks like it. Use blueman and bluez. bluez-gnome is totally useless right now, and I'm still missing gnome-phone-manager functionality. See https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-797007-highlight-.html.
