A simple, ad-free application that toggles the Bluetooth adapter on an Android device. This application was initially created to work around an issue with my Nexus 4 and Alpine car stereo. My phone always required a toggle of the Bluetooth adapter before the devices would pair, so I automated the process with a button press. I uploaded the application in case it's useful to someone else. The application has no UI and simply disables Bluetooth and re-enables it a few seconds later.

Note: Bluetooth Reboot has no UI, so it will look like nothing is happening when you press the application icon. Everything happens in the background. If you look in your status bar, you'll notice that the Bluetooth icon will disappear and then reappear again a few seconds later.

This application will appear in your application drawer under the name "Reboot."
