do you have your Bluetooth enabled at all times?
Turning off your bluetooth doesn't mean it's off until you turn it on ~~Bluetooth is on at all times~~ on modern androids/iOS, as of android 13 due to location services features.
Edit, inaccurate phrasing on my part
any sources?
Hmm the article I read about it previously seems to be eluding me, I'm going to keep looking for it. From what I remember of the other article, the short of it is, in android, location services can turn on your bluetooth at any point and does every time it gets pinged by google without you turning it on, and they are rolling out a new feature to automatically turn it back on next version. Here's an adjacent article that talks about one of the future android features, where you can have your phone found even when powered off, and that is using location services, which does involve bluetooth.
at that time they should just stop using the term "power off"
Yeah i dont have the band with to toggle it for my headphones/car every time i use them. Idk if graphene has a better implementation tho if anyone knows pls let me know.
Vast majority of people do, and on iOS and Android these days turning it "off" really just keeps it from connecting to peripherals. It's still scanning even when "off".
