Default Tour - Bluetooth not turning on

Bluetooth is very hiccupy on my 9630. Often it does not turn on with the network connection during an auto on/off cycle, so I have to manually go to connections to turn it on. When doing so, frequently I will check the box beside "Bluetooth" in the connections screen but nothing will happen. The checkmark appears in the box, the word "Bluetooth" greys out, but the connection indicator continues to show a red X. No amount of waiting results in a connection. I have to exit to the home screen then re-enter the Connections menu and try again. After 3 or 4 tries it works.

I did not notice these issues until a month ago when I started bridging a Playbook. Prior to that I seldom used bluetooth, so I don't know if the problem is new or has always been there.

Anyone else have similar a similar experience? Grateful for any advice.

Dave

The Bluetooth On/Off was always iffy on the Tour.

The only advice I would have is to never turn it off yourself (if you don't have to) and try to minimize the number of times you have to kickstart it.
