By not paying enough attention to what is happening

I always have WiFi on, so I was mainly watching the Bluetooth. And I'm not sure I tried with WiFi off.

What I can see is:
  • Visit Bluetooth settings and turn it off.
  • Then visit WiFi sttings and turn if off.
  • If I visit WiFi settings again, it does not turn on. This is how it always has been.
  • If I visit Bluetooth settings, it turns on after a few seconds.
  • If I then go to the WiFi settings, it is on.
  • If I turn off WiFi and go back to Bluetooth, Bluetooth is on. Returning to WiFi, it is still off.

From all that, it appears you can turn off either setting independently. But, when you turn on Bluetooth, it also turns on WiFi. If you turn on WiFi while Bluetooth is off, it does not turn on Bluetooth.

With the fact that Bluetooth and WiFi are on a common chip, I can understand this. It means it might not be possible to turn of the power used by the other function. But, it is apparently possible to stop the actual use of it, so the other function should not be forced on. The justification might be that WiFi is needed when playing purchased audiobooks to check for something. But, that still should be optional. What happens when there is no WiFi available?
