Bluetooth is only used to initiate the connection. The actual connection to the camera is through wifi, this is why you need to keep the wifi of the phone on. You don't need to be around a wifi network (or need internet connection) as camera becomes the wifi hotspot and the phone connects to that. Unlike Osmo Pocket, Osmo Action does not keep the wifi on at all times, so you need to enable bluetooth for the app to tell the OA to turn on it's wifi. With Osmo Pocket you can enter the hotspot information into the phone and it will connect every time, without requiring bluetooth.
Why it also needs the location is a mystery but my guess is it uses the information to keep the wifi band and power "region legal" (FCC, CE etc.) |
