> Should I leave my bluetooth on all the time?
Bookmark topic
As topic... does it take too much power to leave it on all the time? In standby... without any device connected.
I ask because I have a BT dongle in my house, and it'll be nice if I only had to sit on the PC and start accessing the phone; withouth turning it on, then off, as it'd be the same as pluggin the cable!
Also; I have a BT headset... which actually I don't use (only 1 time per week, maybe!), and then again; it's a pain in the ass to turn the BT on, power the headset, turn the BT off after I used it.
Thanks.

Does turning no the bluetooth consumes more power?

The difference in the standby time with the bt on and off ain't that much if i were to go with my experience. But bt does drain the battery quite rapidly when you have connected to something using bluetooth.. Otherwise the slight difference in the standby time doesn't bother me....

since the days of the T68 I have always left bluetooth on all the time and never been dissatisfied with battery endurance

After having Bluejacked so many times that the fun dissapeared I keep it off. I turn it on when I need it.

Bluetooth signal strength is of 1 milliwatt so doesnt consumes much power in standby mode but during usage the piconet has to jump frequency around 1600 times in one second hence there is more power consumption

BT does drain the battery a bit more. especially if you have something connected to it.
I guess im the odd one out. Turning on my BT all the time bothers me a bit because i actually notice that i have to charge more. And I dont like charging my phone.
