Greentooth

This app disables Bluetooth automatically when the last Bluetooth device has been disconnected.

This is a fork of the original Greentooth app developed by Nicklas Bergman at https://gitlab.com/nbergman/greentooth.

Greentooth can help you save battery and mitigate the security risks of Bluetooth by automatically turning Bluetooth off when it is no longer needed. When the last Bluetooth device has disconnected Greentooth will wait for an adjustable amount of time in order to not disturb any connection/reconnection attempts and then deactivate Bluetooth.

Please note that Greentooth only runs upon device disconnection, it does not do periodical checks for idle Bluetooth.

Greentooth isn't working, what should I do?

  1. Make sure that the app is enabled and that a reasonable delay is set.
  2. Make sure that your Bluetooth device is actually disconnecting when you think it is and that there are no other Bluetooth devices left connected to your phone or tablet.
  3. Your phone might be preventing Greentooth from launching when a Bluetooth device disconnect is detected. Try whitelisting the app/adding it to the "protected" list in your battery saver settings. Make sure it is allowed to launch from the background.
