Bluetooth enables itself when switching from airplane mode

I got an update yesterday with a build number 39.2.A.0.417 and since I made the update I realize that when I dis-able my phone from airplane mode the Bluetooth automatically opens, and seems annoying that everytime I do the actions I also have to dis-able my Bluetooth since it automatically open on its own by dis-abling my phone from the airplane mode, I hope you can help me with this guy's.. Thank you

After the recent Sony Xperia software update(February) , I experienced the same problem but there was a link that appears under Bluetooth app where when you click it there appears two slots: one for WiFi and other Bluetooth which is self activation. After I moved the green dot to the sides, it disabled it.
I tried to check that green link inside the bluetooth app recently but it's gone. Meaning that was the solution to the problem.

Hi again!

I'm happy to hear that you managed to solve it with the suggestion that @trashcan posted! Thanks a lot for helping out! Slightly_smiling_Face

@Jonyny, If I'm not mistaken I think @trashcan is referring to the "scanning settings" which you can see at the screenshot below.

You can access these settings by tapping on the link (scanning settings) or in Settings > Location > 3 dots > Scanning.

Let me know if you found the setting! Slightly_smiling_Face

I found the setting in the right 3 dots corner of the Bluetooth app, like what the instructions given by http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/871294

But http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/885297 I think you can't find it cuz your in a good settings, that's what I've experience, when I tried to find it I can't see the settings anymore

So has this been fixed? I'm still having the issue and I use airplane mode every night.

This issue has now been fixed, had this issue with the previous update build as the OP had, BT turned ON by itself when switching airplane mode ON/OFF. I did not report this problem as no official help is given here in this forum, no official developer ever replies back and no solution was ever recieved for many of my problems, including this one.

Cut short, this has been fixed now in the latest build 41.2.A.7.8

Ok thanks for the reply. I just realized this is the XZ forum and I'm having the problem with my Z5 Compact...
