Auto WiFi Tethering when Bluetooth device is in range

Hi!
I'm having a Galaxy S and a Asus Transformer tablet here and typically use the internet connection of my sgs with the tablet. Right now I keep the wifi tethering feature always on but as I also need bluetooth, so wifi and bluetooth are enabled.
The tab is only a few minutes or hours a day in range of the sgs. So maybe it is possible to automatically enable the wifi tether when the tab is in range of bluetooth and disable wifi tether if the tab can't be found.
Is there an app which can do this?
thx

Look into Tasker app, you might be able to program this scenario to work automatically.

Thanks very much!
I tested the app and it has exactly the feature I need.
The only little thing is: It triggers on established bluetooth connections. If a device is just in range it won't trigger, even if it's paired.
Anyway... I wan't to use this tab in my car and there is an bluetooth headset also. I will trigger it to the headset.

[Q] Why won't my Nexus 7 automatically connect to car stereo bluetooth

I have my Nexus 7 mounted in the car and connected to a JVC KD-X50BT via bluetooth. It paired just fine and when I go into the bluetooth settings and manually click and connect to the JVC, it works perfectly. The problem is, when the car turns on, bluetooth is trigged via tasker but the JVC does not see the tablet and therefore, does not connect to it automatically.
I have my Galaxy Nexus paired as well since the JVC allows for two devices and it connects after a few seconds once the car is turned on.
Anyone have any ideas? I couldn't find anything within Tasker that fixes this issue. PLEASE HELP! This is the last step to my car install!

I have tasker doing the same thing. Are you toggling Bluetooth on from the off position? When I do that with tasker my car connects within a few seconds. If Bluetooth is already on though my car won't connect automatically for some reason.

bluetooth problems?

Hi. I am using tablet talk on my nexus 7 4.2.2 and it is always disconnecting from my phone. I'm using the bluetooth option. Is bluetooth still somewhat broken or is there a fix?

Bluetooth disables wifi

I'm having a strange problem on my Nexus 4 phone. I have a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset. It's one of the originals that only supports phone audio, not media audio. The phone runs pure unrooted stock Android 4.2.2. I'm currently connected to my home wifi network. If I make a phone call with the headset the audio becomes very choppy. Then the phone automatically disables wifi and falls back to AT&T's cellular network for data. After that the audio through the bluetooth headset is perfectly fine. Is this normal behavior? Is it not possible to have data over wifi while using bluetooth?

This is an issue discussed and reported humongous times. Hopefully Google will resolve it in coming update(s).

Strange issue with hotspot and bluetooth

I have this strange issue with my G4
It's my workphone and i use it in my van with hotspot-starter app.
i get in the car, turn on ignition and my phone connects to the inbuild handsfree system.
The hotspot-starter app toggles the hotspot so my tablet wich running navigation has internet for live traffic information......
This worked flawless with my previous phone but with my G4 the tablet won't stay connected to the phones hotspot, it keeps connecting and disconnecting every minute or so. But when i toggle bluetooth off and on again everything works fine and keeps working without any problem.
It seems like if the bluetooth connection is made before the hotspot is turned on, the hotspot fails to maintain a connection....

Interesting; haven't seen this. A possible workaround is to use Bluetooth tethering vs a WiFi hotspot to deliver internet connectivity to the tablet. Works great, connects faster and has a side benefit of consuming less juice on both ends. I use a similar config due to the crappy G4P GPS receiver.

Is it possible to use 2 bt connections simultaniously?
Handsfree set and tether to the tablet?

Give it a shot. It is certainly possible to establish multiple BT connections simultaneously. I occasionally use a BT keyboard, mouse and speaker with a cheap Amazon tablet. Doesn't miss a beat.

OK..... I got bluetooth connection made between phone and tab, checked bt tether on both devices otherwise it won't connect at all....... But no internet passtrough ?

Hum, sorry to hear that. Make sure WiFi is disabled on the tab. Have to believe the fault lies with the tablet as I'm able to successfully tether several different devices (individually) to my G4P via BT. Works a treat and cuts power drain on the G4P by half meaning I don't have to keep it on charge during longer trips.
