that tells me that bluetooth part works fine, *when* communication
between host (pc) and bluetooth dongle works

all i can say at this point is that there is seems to be something
wrong with usb part. for whatever reason communication (via usb bus)
between host (pc) and bluetooth dongle is flaky.  it is clearly not a
timeout issue, so you can not fix it by changing timeout.

can you please send

1) uname -a

2) dmesg output

3) usbdevs -dv output with bluetooth dongle attached

you can also try to use different usb port (if available). if you use
usb hub, try without it. if your dongle has extension usb cable, try
shorter (or no) extension cable. finally, if possible try another
dongle (preferably different brand).
