    You presumably don't use your phone much then if the battery lasts that long. My phone is a few years old now & the battery is showing its age, but I can easily run it down in a single day, in fact I have two battery packs at work & often have the phone connected to one or the other by tea time. (having the other on charge ) At home though BT is on as is WiFi & mobile data and the battery only drops to around 60/70% from full

    I thought all the BT was used for was detecting other phones that you electronically bumped into . This would be stored as a code that would identify the phone, date, signal strength and duration. This information would be periodically uploaded onto a data base. If anyone reports to the App a positive test, the data base is checked and anyone considered at risk due to proximity / duration / dates of exposure is contacted.

    Bluetooth can certainly drain the battery if it's on all the time and signal strength is poor. If I make the mistake of not taking the phone out of my pocket in the MH, the battery drains like mad compared to if it is placed immediately below the satnav unit, to which it is linked.
