The bluetooth indicator and the bluetooth page in system settings sometimes won't turn on bluetooth until after a reboot. What I expect to happen is that if bluetooth is off in the indicator/system settings and I tap the switch, the switch will go green and in a moment the bluetooth indicator will show up and bluetooth is enabled. When bluetooth is on, I expect to go into the indicator/system settings and turn the switch off, the switch will go gray and the bluetooth indicator will hide and bluetooth is disabled. I expect this to work whenever I want while the phone is on.

Sometimes, this does not work. For example, yesterday I disabled bluetooth at some point in the evening and later I went to sleep. When I woke up, I tried to turn it on via the indicator and also system settings and it won't turn on. In the indicator, the switch moves to the green position briefly, then moves back to gray (the bluetooth indicator remains hidden and bluetooth is disabled). In system settings, the switch will stay green, but the bluetooth indicator remains hidden and bluetooth is disabled. If I leave system settings and come back, the the switch is now in the off position.

/var/lib/urfkill/saved-states has:
[BLUETOOTH]
soft=false
prev-soft=false

Workaround: reboot the phone and bluetooth will be enabled.

Note: this is not new behavior-- I'm only reporting it now (partly because I thought it was fixed for a while, but that might have been because I was rebooting a lot at the time)
