      I never have it enabled unless I am in the car driving and need driving directions or listening to music/podcasts. I prefer wired headphones, but manufacturers are making that difficult.

        Because they can’t sell you more Bluetooth crap if they give you a choice.

        Stop buying no-Jack phones.
