Warm: just reboot, without shutdown.
Cold: complete shutdown, then restart it.
Bug solved in 4.5.0.18.
Edit: Not for everybody, it seems.

Didn’t solve for me. Yes first reboot bluetooth worked, but second time had to use utilities to restart it.
But think update was not to fix bluetooth rather video and audio playback on websites.

Did not solve the problem in my XA2 (H4113). My XA2 still require both “systemctl restart bluetooth” and “systemctl restart bluebinder” for bluetooth to work on my XA2 - please remove the solved flag.

On my xa2+ it was always enough to restart bluetooth twice via Settings-Utilities.
I hope none of my friends and family will find out, the rediculous workaround we need to get our phone working.

this helps. thank you
Hi
After last update .18 bluetooth stopped working.
Any idea?
Thanks
I second this: situation is better(?) with the update but problem is not slved…
what I tend to see is trying to switch on the BT and the restarting BT subsystem from Settings/SFOS Utility solved issue more than not…
Yep, just realised this myself while trying to send a pic to my PC. I had to restart BT using Sailfish-Utilities. My device is an Xperia 10 II.
yet-another observation is restarting BT from utilities will be more successful if WiFi is OFF

Xperia III, 4.5.0.18 - two distinct cases here:
- Cars: I must ALWAYS restart BT once after reboot from (SFOS utilities does it). Might relate to specific BT in bmw cars (same on older F11 and newer i3). After BT restart on phone, re/connection is fast, everything works -phone, media, etc.
Sometimes I noticed some lag to switch to voice on 1st call when BT media was streaming audio to car (music stopped but heard the 1st ‘hello’ of the callee from my pocket, then sound was routed in car’s audio).
Constant : no 1st restart, no connection. - most of my BT devices (headsets: plantronics and jabra; speakers: jbl, sony, b&o ) - work as expected , with or without BT restart.
Confirming XA2 Plus,
The bug disappeared with 4.5.0.18
and reappeared again on 4.5.0.19.
Console is the only way to make bluetooth work.

I cannot confirm that, it always existed on my XA2+ since 4.5.0.16
As mentioned above, there’s another way to activate Bluetooth:
- Open Settings
- Scroll down to and open Utilities (needs to be installed from Jolla store)
- Press button
Restarton sectionBluetooth
Sometimes, it’s required to go through this procedure twice

@jollajo Thank you for the notice.
Before commenting here I already did try reboot with and without wlan on, with and without mobile data on, utilities restart bluetooth, all this several times (XA2+ dual sim).
Inspired by you I did some more testing, after reboot bluetooth does not turn on, tapping bluetooth in the upper menu two times and then utilities restart bletooth worked, bluetooth turned on.
I had the same behaviour on my XA2 H3113, OS Version 4.5.0.19, restarting bluetooth via Settings-Utilities didn´t help. After a reboot I checked the bindings and unblocked hci0
# rfkill list
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
# rfkill unblock 0
# systemctl restart bluetooth.service
Now it works well, even after a reboot.
