I no longer trust my Nexus 6p phone to give me real “On” and “Off” states for bluetooth or wifi. In the car, where the phone is set to “trust” the car’s bluetooth signal, sometimes I’ll check the phone and see the BT icon lit up and connected to the car (which is also showing the phone’s battery/signal status) despite my never having turned it on.
The wifi does something similar (the wifi wedge icon is displayed on the phone as though it’s connected when I’ve not turned the wifi on). I think it’s got something to do with Google’s ‘whatever’ service that asks users to allow the phone to connected to these radios even without notifying the user to “improve network service” or somesuch. I have that turned off, and yet the phone does these things of its own accord.
