iPhone New iPhone 5s - bluetooth comes on automatically!

[Thunderbird8]

Every time I shut the phone down, when it restarts bluetooth is on. This is driving me crazy, as I hardly ever use bluetooth except when I'm in the car.

Is there a way of stopping this happening? I can't see a way to do this in Settings.

Turn off AirDrop as well?

Thank you but I don't see how that helps? Airdrop is off and stays off.

My issue is that Bluetooth comes on automatically every time the phone restarts.

Restarts?

As in, fully powered off, you turn it on and the apple logo comes up for a few seconds off?

Why are you turning it off so much?

Because AirDrop uses bluetooth to work...if it's off, then bluetooth shouldn't come on as a default every time you turn on your phone.

Turn it off and do a hard restart to see if it comes back on again.
