Android 15 will run Bluetooth with your phone still turned off. - Lemmy

I saw this on infinity for Reddit earlier, I don’t know if there’s a workaround for this or not.

Where is that mentioned? I can’t find that in the article

It’s mentioned in the linked article about Find My Device.

This is what it says

1. Locate offline devices

Locate your compatible Android phone and tablet by ringing them or viewing their location on a map in the app — even when they’re offline. And thanks to specialized Pixel hardware, Pixel 8 and 8 Pro owners will also be able to find their devices if they’re powered off or the battery is dead.

5 ways to use the new Find My Device on Android

We’re sharing a few ways to use the new Find My Device experience on Android.

I don’t know that means Bluetooth will be running when the device is off. “Specialized hardware” could mean a full Bluetooth modem on backup power, but more likely it’s means there’s a low power beacon. Would be interesting if anyone does a teardown of the Pixel 8.

For non-Pixel 8 devices, definitely not. I assume “Offline” refers to the case where your device doesn’t have WiFi/LTE, but can still use Bluetooth to communicate with devices that do.
