Modern Bluetooth does not drain batteries. How do you think they can run a tag on a button cell for a year?

- duskwuff 6y agoBluetooth is pretty power-thrifty, yes. But the Tile app was kind of power-hungry, since it had to wake up the phone's CPU periodically to keep track of which devices were in range.
- resfirestar 6y agoWas referring to my phone's battery life, not the battery on the Tiles themselves. Could have been location services usage as well as Bluetooth, and to be fair to Tile they have rolled out a lot of updates to the Android app since I stopped using it, many of them promising reduced background battery usage.
