Nexus 4: Bluetooth turns off

[Willstatt]

my nexus 4 has developed an annoying habit of turning bluetooth off. it thus won't connect with my car's hands free. I can solve it by shutting down phone and restarting, but it's a pain to do that every time I get in the car. any ideas? help much appreciated. Will

I'm having the same issue and I found a way to reset the Bluetooth without shutting down the phone. Hold the power button down so the the shut down menu comes up and then hit the back button. The phone will then reconnect.

Yes--this has been going on for months while Google has failed to "acknowledge" the problem or give a timeline for a fix. I suppose since the Nexus 4 is no more, it's very low on their priority list. In any case, try what glacher suggests--turn off the WiFi whenever you want to use the BT. That is a workaround that did the trick for me. But obviously not very convenient, nor practical for many.
