Hi,

I am trying to increase the battery life on our bugs – it seems from this post that disabling bluetooth will save us a fair amount of power:

But I can’t find anywhere where it says how to do this.

I suspect I have to remove a module from the filesystem, but I don’t want to do this without knowing it’s the right thing to do.

Ideas?

Hey Jer,

Simply do:

echo “0”  > /sys/devices/system/mxc_gpio/mxc_gpio0/btenable
