Everything was working fine for the longest time but ever since last week, every time I would try to turn on Bluetooth via NickelMenu, the "Bluetooth On" popup screen would take a while to appear to disappear, almost like it's struggling to connect. The whole screen would be slow and unresponsive for a bit. Once the screen is back to normal, if I go into Bluetooth settings, it would indicate that Bluetooth is still OFF. Then if I try to manually turn on bluetooth via settings, it would just stay stuck like it is trying to turn bluetooth on but it never does. Wi-Fi automatically connects though, bluetooth just stays off.

Rebooting via Nickelmenu doesn't help either. I have to force restart my Kobo before bluetooth works properly again. It'll continue working for a bit before the above happens again. I would hate to have to force restart my device every single time I want my bluetooth to work.

Does anyone have any solutions?

Thank you very much!
