GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 671476
Bluetooth is always re-enabled on reboot
Last modified: 2012-03-06 15:21:02 UTC
Whenever I start my laptop, bluetooth is enabled, regardless of the previous setting (or the settings of the hardware switch). I don't mind about the hardware switch, these things vary so much from platform to platform that I don't expect them to work out-of-the-box. But it would be nice if the last setting was remembered. I rarely use bluetooth and it does reduce battery life.
Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 638117 ***
And if you set Bluetooth visibility "off" and don't use it, the energy saved compared to disabling it fully would be about as much as choosing a lower sound volume...
