    <description>&lt;P&gt;Got a Reader v2 connected to an iPad via Bluetooth and all works well most of the time.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Occasionally - usually after no activity for a few hours - the green light on the reader doesn't illuminate when attempting to take payment (so fails to read the card.)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Turning bluetooth off/on or rebooting the iPad cures the issue - so my hunch is a bug in the Square app. I'm running 7.8&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anyone else seen this and know of a fix?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Explaining to everyone who uses the 'till' how to restart bluetooth is not ideal!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
