Hi!
I use BTHTools with my Himalaya for automatic switching of BT on/off.
It turns the BT ON if necessary (ex. incoming/outgoing calls), and turns it OFF when done. Good for saving battery.
Works also for other BT use, such as BT GPS, BT via Activesync, BT file transfers, etc., turns BT ON, keep it connected and automatically turns OFF for about one minute after connectivity is lost/ended.
However, it does NOT work with my Hermes.
Is there a similar application for Hermes? Moreover, it would be great if it would also automatically control NOT ONLY bluetooth but WIFI, GPRS and other connections as well. Similar to comm manager but automatic/timed.
Thanks.

I use a BT GPS receiver with my XDA II using MS BT stack. When I switch the XDA off and switch it back on I have to turn bluetooth back on and reconnect with the GPS receiver. Is there any way of keeping bluetooth on when you go into standby mode?
cant you just stop the xda from going standby ?
i mean most of those car gps thingys have power for the xda dont they ?
I won't be in a car. Walking around a city for a couple of hours - I'm going to drain the battaries too quickly.
Mine don't do that, it kept bluetooth on when I turn my XDA II off. I have a program in addition called Bluetooth Tools that automatically turn my BT off after a few seconds and turns on when I receive and make a call. I can also turn off the timer so the bluetooth stays on.
I use BTW-CE and I have the same problem. Before reinstalling this application everything was ok.
A half solution I've figured out is to create a shortcut to the bluetooth settings page - a lot of the time I can't acccess the bluetooth icon on the today screen because the input/keyboard bar is covering it (might have something to do with Fitaly). Anyway if you copy the following into a shortcut file i.e. Bluetooth.lnk:
34#\windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,23
you can then assign it to a hardware button
I've tried Bluetooth Tools, while it does give you a handy bluetooth icon in the middle of the today screen it doesn't stop my bluetooth from turning off in standby mode.
@markh
are you using the widcomm bt stack?
No, the microsoft one
Will this only turn on/off Bluetooth with an incoming call?
I want it to turn on/off Bluetooth for any situation when I stop/start something that needs it.
For example if BT is off, and I start ActiveSync on the XDA, BT starts automatically. But when I close AS, BT stays on.
I was hoping something like DKToday would help with this, but it only seems to work for calls.
tap the bluetooth icon and it turns bluetooth of, at least it does for me.
Bluetooth audio streaming is not connecting automatically to my car kit (a Parrot MKi9200). The phone connection always sets up automatically as soon as I turn on my car's ignition, but the BT audio streaming never does. To make BT audio streaming work, I have to activate it manually in my phone's menu, each time I start my car. That's just too much on working days where I sometimes get in and out of the car frequently.
Both Parrot and HTC have told me that this functionality simply isn't there in the phone. Other phones can connect automatically, but not this model, so they say.
Is there a work-around? For instance, is there some sort of software utility that could help me automate the establishment of the BT audio streaming connection?
I find that on WM6 you have to reconnect manually in the comm manager to get AD2P to activate. But in some WM6.5 roms (most probably) like the EnergyROM I am using now the AD2P is very responsive and reconnects just by pressing play in HTC audio player even if stopped during the bluetooth connection to your car stereo/kit.
I have tried many AD2P auto software enablers but they eventually just remove the functionality alltogether and has me reflashing the rom. =/
I would suggest either to go with a 6.5 build or just make a habit of reconnection to the BT manually via comm manager if you want to stay with wm6
Hi,
it's easy to find a bluetooth toggle button out there to put it on the HD2 homescreen - neverthelees it only turns bluetooth on (or off). Normally I use only one bluetooth connection - my stereo headset. Is there anything I can do that the toggle button not only turns on the bluetooth but uses my headset as standard connection, so automatically connects to it with some settings?
Thanks,
DW!
Nobody?
If you are having an issue with the headset only connecting as handsfree when you turn bluetooth on there is an option in the settings to have stereo headsets connect to both handsfree and headset at the same time ...
It would be in the bluetooth settings under that devices main properties ...
I use one and it connects to both when toggling bluetooth on or off ...
But even without that all you have to do normally is hit a "media" button on the headset , something other than talk/play or volume, and it should connect ...
Hope that confusing mess helps ....
I have a N6P, rooted 6.0.1 with Xposed. I use MacroDroid to automate some processes. E.g. I have a macro that enables bluetooth whenever I leave the house and my phone disconnects from the home wifi network. In my car I use a Parrot CK3100 bluetooth voice kit. I want my phone to automatically connect to the kit whenever bluetooth on my phone is enabled and I start my engine (and the Parrot becomes powered). Whenever I switch on bluetooth manually and it is on for some time and I get into my car and start the engine, my phone connects to the Parrot without any problems.
I also have a macro which actions are that a sound is played and it vibrates whenever the phone connects to my Parrot. But whenever I leave my house, I can see that my bluetooth is enabled but when I get into my car and start the engine, I can hear the sound and feel the vibration of the MacroDroid macro, but the screen of the Parrot still shows the Parrot logo and not the name of my phone. So MacroDroid confirms that a connection has taken place (otherwise there wouldn't be any sound and vibration), but in fact the phone and Parrot are not connected. Going then into BT settings and trying to connect manually works in 50% of the cases.
I have also tried AutomateIT to get this working, but with the same outcome. And the app Bluetooth Auto Connect (to force the connection) didn't bring any luck either.
Because when enabling BT manually before I leave the house the connection succeeds and when using the macro it does not (neither in MacroDroid not in AutomateIT), I suspect that it may have something to do with the (short) time between the enabling of BT and the powering on of the Parrot, but I'm not sure.
Anyone any ideas?
