Re: New Bluetooth app

I bet if BT headphones work like something similar to the Plantronics wireless USB headsets, if the battery dies, you leave yourself with no speech. I know this happens on the PC because the audio dongle keeps the sound driver valid, so there's nothing to receive the audio, and they die with no warning too.

I agree with both sides of this ... but here is why I shut mine off ... I got kids .. and they like to sneak into my office .. and start poundig on my BT keyboard .. next thing I know my phone is doing all sorts of stuff ...
Also, several times I've left my BT headphones on .. and didn't relize it ... and was wondering what was going on with my phone and why it wouldn't talk to me ...

Yes, if it makes you feel more comfortable to believe that the battery savings is greater, more power to you. I suspect that actual real-world and benchmark testing would prove you wrong.

I disagree, in addition to battery savings, which I think are greater
than what's indicated below, and the fact that if you're between power
sources that extra 30 minutes or so could be important, there's also the
security concerns. I know that bluetooth is "secure" but why leave
yourself open if you're not going to be using your bluetooth for an
extended period of time. IMHO, whether you want your bluetooth running
or not is a personal preference and no one is wrong for leaving it on or
wanting a quick way to turn it off.

You know, I don't mean to be a kill joy about this app but, why don't people leave bluetooth on? I mean, if you toggle it on/off so much that this would be valuable to you, why not just leave BT on. The battery consumption for this radio is so low when not in use, you won't even notice a battery hit unless you are really keeping track. Really. It my lower your usage time 
by all of 30 minutes per charging cycle.

Hello Beverly, have you checked out the app description?

The link is
http://itunes.apple.com/app/bluetooth-onoff./id514869898?mt=8

The description reads:
Did it take too many steps just to turn on/off bluetooth? You can now turn
on/off just by launching this app. Just in a second, you can activate or 
deactivate bluetooth.

In addtion, you can chat with other users nearby.
* Tip : Turn on the app's setting if you want to turn on/off upon launch. iPhone / iPad -> Settings -> "scroll down" -> OnOff -> "turn on switch" -> 
"kill the app and relaunch"

Hi Paula,

Thanks for this. Works as advertised. I thought this feature was to
be implemented into Siri, but since that hasn't happened yet, I
grabbed this app.

Check out the Bluetooth on off application in the IOS App Store.
It's awesome. Get it before Apple removes it.
