Brazilian here, sorry for any english mistakes.

After a fresh install of deepin 15.4 I had some problems with my bluetooth, I will try to gather all the info and problems that I had and everything that I did to fix/improve it. This is what worked for me, it might not work for you, I am no expert in linux or anything, but I hope this info can help some of you that are having those problems bellow.

A- If your bluetooth Icon doens't show on Control Center

Try this:
1- open terminal
2- login as root
3- run this command : # rfkill list
it will show something like this
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
      Soft blocked: no
      Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: Bluetooth
      Soft blocked: no
      Hard blocked: no
2: asus-wlan: Wireless LAN
      Soft blocked: no
      Hard blocked: no
3: asus-bluetooth: Bluetooth
      Soft blocked: no
      Hard blocked: no

4-see if the bluethooth is blocked, to unblock it just run  this command: rfkill unblock (here you type the number of the IDENTIFIER that is blocked, mine would be 1 or 3)
5- Recheck in the control center if the icon is now available

B- Improving sound quality https://bbs.deepin.org/post/132507 (https://bbs.deepin.org/post/132507#page%3D1)

Try this:
1 - Open terminal
2 - Login as root
3 - Run this command: # apt-get install pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-bluetooth pavucontrol bluez-firmware
4  -  # service bluetooth restart
5 -# killall pulseaudio
6 -# nano /etc/apt/sources.list
7 - Paste this in your repository list: deb http://mirror.jmu.edu/pub/deepin/ unstable main contrib non-free
8 - # apt-get update
9 - Paring your device and checking if it is functioning
10 - Go to launcher and fire PulseAudio
11 - Maximize the window and go to Configuration
12 - GO to your Headset settings and change from (HSP/HFP) to (A2DP)

Well that is it, I might not be able to answer technical questions, but  even so, leave your comment here, some other user may be able to.
