Can't turn Bluetooth on - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I first got my Nexus 7 I setup Tasker profiles on both my N7 and phone to initiate Bluetooth tethering once Wifi disconnected. It was working fine until (I believe) after the 4.4.2 update on the N7. What happens is that Tasker fails to turn Bluetooth on. When this happens, I am also unable to turn Bluetooth on manually under Settings. Power cycling the non-rooted N7 fixes the problem.
Is anyone else having problems turning on Bluetooth?

Bluetooth Issue

I finally managed to get my titan fully flashed and working properly with one exception....anytime I turn my bluetooth headset off I have to go back into the bluetooth settings on my phone and reinstall my bluetooth. It seems that for some reason whenever I shut the bluetooth headset off it or the phone iteslf decides that it is no longer needed and removes it from the phone.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks

[Q] bluetooth screen on

I use my Nexus 7 as a car nav system, and before upgrading to 4.2 based roms whenever I would switch to bluetooth in my car the tablet would automatically wake up. Now however the screen stays black. It still connects to bluetooth, but I have to manually turn it on (very difficult the way I have it mounted).
Does anyone know of an app or setting or trick to get the nexus 7 to turn the screen on when it detects a bluetooth connection?

Bluetooth to car stereo, no auto connect

I had the Note 3 and it interfaced very well with my 2013 Subaru Impreza stereo. The Note 4, however, will initially connect but after turning the stereo off, then back on, it will not auto reconnect. The same behavior happens when the car is turned off and on.
I must tap the stereo in the BT app to get it to reconnect and sometimes I have to turn on the phone "visibility" to get the connection to happen.
So, that means no BT phone unless I'm already listening to a BT source.
I think it is related to the newer BT stack and its low power modes.
Anyone else seen this BT behavior?
Yes, I am seeing similar behavior. My Bluetooth tends to disconnect at times, seemingly at random as well.
Also very frustrating is the fact that I can not just enter my car and have the Bluetooth auto connect. I have to open the bluetooth page and select my car from the list of devices manually. This seems primative. If there is a way to change this can someone please post it?
I've started using Tasker and it has saved my bacon. Works like a charm. I've even used it to automate turning on Slacker when I get in the car.... So, a work around...
I have no problem whatsoever while connecting to my Dodge Charger 2014 ..every time i get in the car the Note 4 auto connects... i have the viisbility timeout set to Never..

Bluetooth not automatically reconnecting

I have paired and connected my N6P to my Laptop over Bluetooth. Unfortunately whenever I go out of range or turn off my Bluetooth, my connection does not reconnect after getting back into range or after having turned back BT back on. This is very annoying as I have to delete the connection on both devices and repair and reconnect to get them to talk to each other. Does anybody know why this is happening?
