  * When the user chooses to toggle bluetooth on or off, if /dev/rfkill
    isn't available, fall back to toggling org.bluez.Adapter's Powered
    property. (LP: #1236249, #1230275)

Title:
  Bluetooth cannot be switched on/off on Nexus 4 (rfkill issues)

Status in Bluetooth Menu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “indicator-bluetooth” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “indicator-bluetooth” source package in Saucy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When using the latest indicator-bluetooth on the Nexus 4 (mako) and
  Ubuntu Touch switching bluetooth on/off is impossible, as the state
  never changes. Same when doing it from the ubuntu-system-settings.

  The unity8.log upstart log has this in it:
  Can't open /dev/rfkill  for use as a killswitch backend: Permission denied
  Couldn't write rfkill event: Bad file descriptor
  Can't open /dev/rfkill  for use as a killswitch backend: Permission denied

  
  [Impact]
   * User has no chance to switch bluetooth on or off which can also pose a security problem when having bluetooth on all the time.

  [Test Case]
   * Try to switch BT on/off via indicator or system settings.

  [Regression Potential]
   * None really as it cannot be more broken as it is currently.
