Help Bluetooth Refuses to Turn On

I just got my first bluetooth device and was excited to try it out and was unable to get bluetooth to start. I have rebooted and was able to turn it on. Haven't had a chance to try and pair yet though.

Running CM10.1.3-mako(4.2.2)

THANK - YOU - SIR !!!!

I thought I had switched something on or off by negligence/stupidity/ignorance.
At least for now, after following your procedure, I got my bluetooth back. We'll see if it stays ;)
 
Mine started this with the 4.2.2 update, extremely annoying. It's only happened once, but I just got update a little over a week ago.

I've had this issue for a while now.
Bluetooth won't turn on using any method.
Using the stock widget or accessing iugh settings doesn't work.
The only fix is a reboot.
When I press or drag the Bluetooth toggle switch it just springs back immediately to the "off" position.

Does anyone else have this problem?
If so could you please comment on this page to make Google aware of the problem...the more voices the better. Issue 42255 - android - Sometimes bluetooth not activatable in Android 4.2.1 Nexus 4 - Android - An Open Handset Alliance Project - Google Project Hosting

Nexus 4 running 4.2.1 (bought on Dec 4th) :)

Dude I know how to fix this problem. But I don't know if this works for you all too. First shut down your phone then turn it back on. Shut it down entirely don't turn it off only. Then when your bluetooth turns on, quickly connect to another BT device. Reboot isa temporary cure so it's useless but instead, shut it down entirely.
