[Bug 212492] [NEW] cell/mobile phone has to be added as an input device to be used as a Bluetooth remote control

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

I've managed to get my cellular phone (a Sony-Ericsson z520) working as a remote input device, but in order to get it working, I had to:
Open Bluetooth preferences
Select the service tab
Select the input service
Click the add button under the list of input devices
Click on the "show all devices checkbox"
Select my phone to be added

Once this is done, I can successfully initiate a remote control session
from the phone's UI. If I remove my phone from the list of input
devices, then attempt to initiate a session, the phone says it is
connecting, then that it's "connecting remote control", and then it
fails there.  It would be better if this worked without needing to add
the phone to a list of input devices before making an attempt.
