iPhone 5s Bluetooth finds no devices after iOS 9 upgrade

Since upgrading my iPhone 5s to iOS 9 (currently on 9.0.2), I have not been able to use multiple Bluetooth devices (Plantronics headset, Boomerang fitness tracker, PageFlip Firefly). Existing pairings refused to be recognized by applications.

Fixes I've tried:

I've removed device pairings, selecting "forget" option.
Bluetooth device scanning sees no available devices.
I've reset network settings
Hard Reboots of iPhone

I verified devices are functional and visible and can pair w\ iPad 2 running same version of iOS.

iPhone 5s, iOS 9.0.2

Have you put the devices back in their pairing mode?

For some devices, iOS started to again see the devices, so I could re-pair. Seems like a couple reboots cleared that up. Bluetooth a bit moody.

For one device though, I had to do a full reset, and with help of that products vendor was able to re-pair.

At this point all my critical Bluetooth devices are working again.
