Title: Bluetooth problem.
Post by: ajm600 on March 25, 2013, 11:20:22 AM

My Bluetooth refuses to switch on.
The N7 was on airplane mode, and I understand that bluetooth cannot operate under that condition, but I have turned the AirMode off  and it still doesn't work - the switch flips back each time.
Any ideas?

I guess the solution was - as ever - turn ithe N7off, and turn it on again!! It now works. 8)

A lot of the time a reboot is a good first thing to do when troubleshooting.

Had exactly this happen on my Nexus 4 the other week and a reboot fixed it...

Boot?  or Reboot? (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_95CdBsNIDCk/R40u1LRpevI/AAAAAAAAAcU/_519Vfh79tw/s400/reboot.jpg)

When in doubt, power off, count ten seconds, then power back up.
