> convenient way to activate Bluetooth temporarily, only when needed
the slide-up menu in ios is pretty convenient.... you can do it when the phone is locked, even. i use it all the time to disable and enable wifi and bluetooth and use the flashlight.
- brndnmtthws 9y agoIt'd be nice to use NFC to temporarily activate Bluetooth for a given device, for the duration of use. Even better if it generated a random MAC address every time you established the connection, and handle auth entirely in userspace through encrypted channels. You could bypass the stupid Bluetooth auth.

- Ajedi32 9y agoI assume GP must mean even _more_ convenient than that, since Android also has a settings panel you can pull down with the same functionality.
- retox 9y ago>you can [activate bluetooth] when the phone is locked Is there any way to disable that 'feature'? Seems like an unnecessary risk.
