Auto Off Bluetooth vs Better Internet Tiles
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Auto Off Bluetooth
Auto Off BluetoothAuto Off Bluetooth is a lightweight utility for Android designed to preserve battery life and increase device security. The app monitors your Bluetooth connection status and automatically turns off the Bluetooth radio after 20 seconds if no devices are connected.How it worksThe app listens for Bluetooth state changes in the stack and for Asynchronous Connection-Less disconnection events in the background. When a device disconnects, the app starts a timer. If the timer expires without a reconnection, the app automatically disables the Bluetooth adapter to save power. If a Bluetooth device reconnects, the app postpones the Auto Off task until the next disconnect.PermissionsThe app requires the following permissions to manage your Bluetooth hardware:BLUETOOTH: Allows the app to see the status of connections.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN: Allows the app to toggle the Bluetooth radio on/off.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT: To interact with paired devices (required for Android 12+).
Better Internet Tiles
NOTE: This app requires shell access, which can be granted using either Shizuku or root. This application aims to create a unified internet quick-settings tile, which is actually useful (I'm looking at you, Android 12). Next to this, separate Wi-Fi and mobile data tiles are also available if you just want to go back to the behaviour of Android 11 or lower. Tapping the new unified internet tile will simply toggle between Wi-Fi and mobile data, which is exactly what I want it to do most of the time. This reduces the amount of taps needed from 3 (tap tile, disable wifi, enable data) to just 1 quick tap. In situations where you still want more control, long pressing the tile will redirect you to the relevant settings page.
