Thanks, this is also interesting, though of no use for me personally;
I turn bluetooth on very seldom on my phone (maybe every few months for
a few minutes, when I want to send some pictures to my wife's phone or
something). Similarly for the GPS; I use it much more often, but still
not all the time.
