When I use my GPS app or I want to use my Bluetooth headphones I need to turn on those services, but only in those scenarios, once I’m done using them I don’t want them to be always on, is there a way to automatically turn them off is they are not being used?
I tried Tasker but the “Turn off Bluetooth if not being used” profile wasn’t working at all.
I think the problem is going to be permissions. Unless you have root, I don’t think you’re going to be able to do that.
This post just reminded me to turn off my Bluetooth. I hope someone is able to provide an answer
The Quick Settings toggles are the simplest option.
Macrodroid, Automate, Tasker.
But why turn them off?
Really has virtually no battery life impact (this from 15 years of testing many phones and configurations). Perhaps 1% in 24 hours, I’d have to look at my stats.
May have a slight privacy impact, but given the overall data collection out there, probably unmeasurable. That said, I do turn mine off a lot for the same reason, I just don’t believe it really makes a difference
Tracking can and is done with both by 3rd parties.
Not the best link, but Schiphol airport as a public example.
Bluetooth and WiFi have an auto off feature. It’s at least built into GrapheneOS, not sure about other variants
