Updating my feedback. I tried the above suggestions and indeed module-bluetooth-discover was not loaded by default, had to manually load it, but it makes no difference.
The bottom line is my headset works ok with blueman, but if i remove blueman and try built in standard bluez with standard gnome interface- pairing-nonesense, it doesnt work. Perhaps the issue is with the gnome discoverer, because i cant pair, as in it wont recognize the device with it. And its prob written in pythn right? its worth looking into ;). Either way, its a bluez/gnome-not-sure-its-name discoverer/standard ubuntu interface problem.
