@brendin Can you check if the same occurs in safe mode?

I think I know what's going on, does that happen in specific places? Like in a mall?

It shows the smart band option and throw.. Which keeps on connecting even though I don't use that option

Things are two, you have some apps that are turning on Bluetooth to connect to beacons or you have apps that are trying to connect to a Bluetooth device, like the smartband. If you don't use any smartband try to disable or uninstall any app related to it.

And wat about throw

Throw should not be the culprit, as far as I know Throw works with WiFi, not Bluetooth. On another note, I remember that Google released an update.. Let me check something about it and I'll reply... I just got an idea.

Ok so, you should have an app called Google Settings, ope...

Ok so, you should have an app called Google Settings, open it and check if you have "Nearby" active. That will periodically turn on Bluetooth to search for "beacons"... See screenshot below.

And it's still possible that you have an app installed that turn on Bluetooth to search for beacons, what are beacons? Here you'll find info about them: https://developers.google.com/beacons/
