Bluetooth enables itself when switching from airplane mode

Mervs — Fri, 10 Feb 2017 01:12:30 GMT

I got an update yesterday with a build number 39.2.A.0.417 and since I made the update I realize that when I dis-able my phone from airplane mode the Bluetooth automatically opens, and seems annoying that everytime I do the actions I also have to dis-able my Bluetooth since it automatically open on its own by dis-abling my phone from the airplane mode, I hope you can help me with this guy's.. Thank you

Hi @Mervs, welcome to our forum!

If Bluetooth is activated before you set the phone in airplane mode, Bluetooth will be turned on automatically when you deactivate airplane mode, same as Wi-Fi.

Is that how it works in your case? If not, could you try turning Bluetooth off > activating airplane mode and see if Bluetooth is still getting activated when deactivating airplane mode?

Let me know if that answered your question and how it went!

No my Bluetooth is always dis-able as well as my WiFi to conserve my battery that's of course when I turned to airplane mode they are dis-able. I also tried to hide the Bluetooth tiles but it happens the same way, I also tried to restart my phone but still goes the same

Thanks for the update!

You did not experience this behaviour prior to installing the new update, is that correct?

Could you try rebooting your phone in safe mode, and activate airplane mode and de-active it again, is Bluetooth still being activated automatically? Just to make sure that a third party application isn't the cause of this.

Yes I did not, just with this latest update I've experience like this.
Just tried rebooting my phone now into safe mode and tried to activate airplane mode and of course I make sure that Bluetooth is de-activate but then again when I tried to de-activate the airplane mode the Bluetooth still activated automatically

Do you have app called FireChat installed? It could be the cause.

No, I don't have that app and even so I already tried Safe Mode and still it goes the the same

Yes Johnny, but my concern is that my Bluetooth enables on its own when I tried to dis-able the Airplane mode

After the recent Sony Xperia software update(February) , I experienced the same problem but there was a link that appears under Bluetooth app where when you click it there appears two slots: one for WiFi and other Bluetooth which is self activation. After I moved the green dot to the sides, it disabled it.
I tried to check that green link inside the bluetooth app recently but it's gone. Meaning that was the solution to the problem.

hmm I can't find this "link" other than for scanning... Would you mind posting screenshot?

Hi again!

I'm happy to hear that you managed to solve it with the suggestion that @trashcan posted! Thanks a lot for helping out!

@Jonyny, If I'm not mistaken I think @trashcan is referring to the "scanning settings" which you can see at the screenshot below.

(Please don't mock me for using the Valentine's theme).

You can access these settings by tapping on the link (scanning settings) or in Settings > Location > 3 dots > Scanning.

Let me know if you found the setting!

I found the setting in the right 3 dots corner of the Bluetooth app, like what the instructions given by http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/871294

But http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/885297 I think you can't find it cuz your in a good settings, that's what I've experience, when I tried to find it I can't see the settings anymore

So has this been fixed? I'm still having the issue and I use airplane mode every night.

This issue has now been fixed, had this issue with the previous update build as the OP had, BT turned ON by itself when switching airplane mode ON/OFF. I did not report this problem as no official help is given here in this forum, no official developer ever replies back and no solution was ever recieved for many of my problems, including this one.

Cut short, this has been fixed now in the latest build 41.2.A.7.8

Ok thanks for the reply. I just realized this is the XZ forum and I'm having the problem with my Z5 Compact...
