hi all
like many others iv put my nexus 7 into the dash of my car. i was wondering if there is an app or way for my nexus to turn itself off when i turn the car off. iv figured out how to make the device turn on when power is restored to the device but still not sure how to turn the device off.
also would anyone know why when the nexus turns on, it immediately mutes itself? it is connected via 3.5mm jack 100% of the time and tasker opens up power amp but other then that i don't know what might be causing it. any help is appreciated on both issues
cheers

If you have tasker installed, create a state which is dependant on battery power - as an exit task tell the tablet to wait for 10 seconds, then call the misc->reboot action with type shutdown to turn the tablet off. The wait 10 seconds it to prevent it powering off when you are cranking the car...
If you just want to turn the screen off, not power the whole tablet down, there's a tasker action Display->System Lock which will turn the screen off..
You could also use tasker to change the system volume for you if you needed as a workaround...
*edit* - BTW - the tasker reboot options don't gracefully reboot / shutdown, so if you have apps running, there's a chance that you may lose data. To do a 'graceful' reboot / shutdown, you are better off using the secure setting plugin...

I've been busy reworking my 8125 as a dedicated GPS unit for use in my car. I've been using WM5SE from dferreira as a lightweight and stable ROM with much success. I do however have two slight issues that I would think should be easy to overcome.
First - I want a one-button click-an-icon way to shutdown the phone. And by shutdown, I mean totally off. I've run across a number of different options and every single one of them winds up doing the same thing - the phone goes into suspend, but is not actually off. Any ideas as to what I can do to just get the damn thing to turn off without trying to hold down the power button?
Second - when I turn the phone back on, the WiFi connection defaults to being powered off. Is there a way to make the WiFi hardware turn on by default?
Hi,
I have a intermittent problem.
On occasion I am unable to wake my phone, either by the power button or home button. I have to battery pull etc.
I've noticed it most after I have been in the car and using bluetooth.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Lots of threads out there about this - e.g here and here.
I myself have seen my phone reboot / freeze / whatever after using bluetooth. Mine might be making its way back for replacement soon ...
i have seen the same a number of times.
instead of removing the battery, plugging the phone into a charger will wake it up and then you need to turn off/on bluetooth.

Hi!
Is it possible to configure the Transformer to automatically turn the Display on when the Battery is loaded and switch it off if not?
Maybe an app can do that?
For Background:
I'm planing to install the tab in my car and switching the power adapter with the ignition. Would be cool if the screen turns on when I start the car and turns off when it's shut down.
found something:

Tasker can do this, and much more..

Hi all,
In recent weeks my bluetooth is turning off when it isn't being used. I only use it for hands free in the car and up until a few weeks ago it always stayed 'On' however now, once disconnected from the car radio, it turns off again.
If I turn it back on away from the car it will go to 'Off' shortly after turning it 'On'.
It's a touch annoying as it means I have to get in the car, turn the engine/radio on, unlock the phone, set bluetooth to 'On' every time I drive and want the phone on hands free.
When connected to the car radio, the bluetooth stays on without problem, so I am not entirely sure what is going on.
I have tried turning battery saver off, restarting the phone etc. but nothing has changed this behaviour.
Has anyone got any suggestions on what I can try next, I'm a bit stuck!
Thanks
I have an ODBLink MX adapter for my car that has an auto sleep and wake function. The only way it will connect when I get in the car is to unlock the phone for a few seconds and turn it back off. If I leave the phone in my pocket and don't go through the lock screen it won't automatically connect. Any tips? Thanks.

Have you tried adding it as a trusted device?
I did. Didn't seem to help.

Adapter should wake up when you turn ignition on and CAN bus becomes active. I run Android N DP4. It has occasional issues with BT. Reboot clears it.
