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, 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/
