Bluetooth ghost
Due to my Libra H2O problems, I purchased a new Libra 2 as replacement. As it had a new Bluetooth feature, I played some time with it using audio books/music, and noticed at once the strange WIFI / Bluetooth entanglement (already described by others): activate the Bluetooth and you activate WIFI.

However, I saw a new phenomenon: Bluetooth can (ghostly) activate itself. Just open the Bluetooth settings page, wait some time and presto: it is switches on.
This all under FW 4.30.18838 (which I make sure it remains so for the moment).

I went back to version for Elipsa prior to 4.30.x
Too many bugs with WiFi, BT and note taking (which might apply to Sage but not Libra 2).
My older Original Libra hasn't be updated for a long time as it works & is stable.

Both of those are known feature that has been discussed a bit. Turning on the WiFi with the Bluetooth is probably happening because it is shared hardware. And the only reason to go to the Bluetooth page is to turn one Bluetooth, so doing it automatically isn't unreasonable.

I knew about the entanglement, yes, and did mentioned it.

I beg to differ: one could also just go there to see which devices are currently paired without actually intend to make a connection. And if the quoted reasoning holds some truth: why bother to add an activation switch on that page at all?

So my prime issue is: I do not like equipment to automagically do things I did not instruct them to do. But YMMV
