Gnome Bluetooth not detecting devices -- Arch Linux

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

from: https://linuxhint.com/bluetooth_arch_linux/ 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.)
