Greetings XDA'ians!
I've recently began to wonder (and have spent the last four bloody hours searching as to) whether it's possible to, on an S5, reduce the radius that the Bluetooth radio can project itself. By that I mean, at the moment it works anywhere in my home, if I were to reduce this, it'd work in less area. Basically shrinking its range.
I've looked for apps, settings, hacks, tweaks, but came up empty. I've only come across other people wondering the same thing (Although nobody here on XDA apart from an unanswered post from 2010 in another forum).
So, I ask the talent that is XDA; does anybody know of a way to either reduce the range that Bluetooth sends itself out to (veeerrryyy unlikely), or (more likely!) reduce the amount of power going to the Bluetooth hardware. I imagine, although I could be wrong, that with small incremental reductions in power, you would limit the hardware's ability to project its signal.
This isn't just a thought experiment either, I'm wondering as 'lost phone' apps that use Bluetooth Android Wear watches could benefit from this. Instead of getting 20+ meters away before the signal cuts out, you may be able to reduce it to 3. Something safely on your own person, but still in the same room.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers all!
