I use my Nexus 7 as a car nav system, and before upgrading to 4.2 based roms whenever I would switch to bluetooth in my car the tablet would automatically wake up. Now however the screen stays black. It still connects to bluetooth, but I have to manually turn it on (very difficult the way I have it mounted).
Does anyone know of an app or setting or trick to get the nexus 7 to turn the screen on when it detects a bluetooth connection?

Does anyone have an issue with their bluetooth when it's connected with the screen off, when you try to turn the screen on, you lose the bluetooth connection?
Does anyone know if there is a way to keep the bluetooth connection going and being able to turn your screen on?
Hey guys
So I'm trying to connect my bluetooth to my car...and it works great.... however, everytime i turn on bluetooth from my phone, it has a pop up box asking me if I want to connect to my car.... is there a way to bypass this? as in when i turn on my phone's bluetooth, it should connect immediately to my car?
i have previous motorola androids that did this...not sure if we can with the galaxys4
All you have to do is wait till the car listed turns blue and hit cancel. That screen will always popup
S4
so its not really auto connecting then...u have to specificy which bluetooth device u want the phone to connect to?
When I first got my Nexus 7 I setup Tasker profiles on both my N7 and phone to initiate Bluetooth tethering once Wifi disconnected. It was working fine until (I believe) after the 4.4.2 update on the N7. What happens is that Tasker fails to turn Bluetooth on. When this happens, I am also unable to turn Bluetooth on manually under Settings. Power cycling the non-rooted N7 fixes the problem.
Is anyone else having problems turning on Bluetooth?
I had the Note 3 and it interfaced very well with my 2013 Subaru Impreza stereo. The Note 4, however, will initially connect but after turning the stereo off, then back on, it will not auto reconnect. The same behavior happens when the car is turned off and on.
I must tap the stereo in the BT app to get it to reconnect and sometimes I have to turn on the phone "visibility" to get the connection to happen.
So, that means no BT phone unless I'm already listening to a BT source.
I think it is related to the newer BT stack and its low power modes.
Anyone else seen this BT behavior?
Yes, I am seeing similar behavior. My Bluetooth tends to disconnect at times, seemingly at random as well.
Also very frustrating is the fact that I can not just enter my car and have the Bluetooth auto connect. I have to open the bluetooth page and select my car from the list of devices manually. This seems primative. If there is a way to change this can someone please post it?
I've started using Tasker and it has saved my bacon. Works like a charm. I've even used it to automate turning on Slacker when I get in the car.... So, a work around...
I have no problem whatsoever while connecting to my Dodge Charger 2014 ..every time i get in the car the Note 4 auto connects... i have the viisbility timeout set to Never..
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?
