does tile need to be bluetooth activated to use
Tile is only compatible with phones that support use of the Bluetooth Low Energy (4.0) specification, which is a different type of Bluetooth connection. It is distinctly different from the Bluetooth used by your phone to connect with your car or a wireless microphone.. Bluetooth 4.0. If your device is not on this list but uses Android 4.4 and Bluetooth 4.0, there is a good chance Tile will work fine, but we are not able to offer the same level of support in troubleshooting scenarios.
