Bluetooth always showing ON my Samsung Galaxy Note

Bluetooth always showing ON my Samsung Galaxy Note

Hi Edward, it’s not only some Samsung phones that are affected by this dilemma, Apple iPhones also were affected. If the Bluetooth is always on, it causes a lot of battery power drain. Most Bluetooth chips have a mode for deep sleep. During this time, the chip is totally off and will come back to life if it detects activity like when you activate the Bluetooth. In this case some module in the configuration of the Bluetooth is bringing it to perpetual life. Firmware update also triggers the auto turn on of the Bluetooth.  To resolve this issue, Go to your home screen, Tap Settings,  then scroll down to the Apps Manager which can be found in the Application Section. Then try to display All Tabs by swiping left to right. Tap the Bluetooth icon. Tap it forcefully but don’t overdo it. There will pop up an icon for force stop. Now clear the cache. Then tap to clear the Bluetooth data. Then  press OK.
