This one thing is driving me crazy and just because it's not working.
First of all the phone will not reconnect automatically with my car. Each time I get in I have to manually connect.
I've used NFC Task Launcher to automate turning wifi, blutooth on and off, changing volumes and launching Pandora in my car.
This phone refuses to behave consistently so I switched to Tasker. It won't change the volume at all and is even less reliable than NFC Task Launcher.
Anyone using these apps successfully? How? And how about bluetooth?
BTW, I'm on VZW with CleanROM flashed.

Hey you guys…
I’ve got a question…
Is there an app whcich will toggle Bluetooth on when you enter the telephone function of the wizard?(ei. Press the green button) and that toggles Bluetooth on when there is an incoming call?
Then again turns blutooth off when you end the call and telephone app. :?:
Tomtom also toggles Bluetooth on when you launch the app, and it would be nice that you don’t have to manually toggle Bluetooth on when you get an ioncomming call in your car, or when you want to make a call in your car.
This way you can save battery life, because Bluetooth isn’t permanently on, and it turns on when you need it…
Is there such an app, or is this impossible….
Anybody? :?:
Maybe phonealarm can do it. It can definatly switch different profiles like home, car etc. and within the profile you can launch programs, turn on/off bluetooth/hifi

[edit] I should add that WM5 support is still in beta at the moment [/edit]
Okay, but I don't think that you cange a profile when you enter a car, because I just put the phone on a charger, and use a Jabra headset, so no professional carkit.
It would be nice if there's an app that switches bluetooth dependent on another app, not on a profile...
But I'll look into phonealarm...
Thanks, anybody else got an idea?

One reason I didn't keep phone alarm is because it didn't quite do what I was looking for. It was closer than everything else I've found, but seemed to slow my whole experience with my phone down.
Maybe someone like vijay555 might make something that'll do that.
I have got into the habbit of useing my BT headset when getting into the car and turning it off when I get out. I plug my phone into the car to keep it topped up, so using extra power isn't a problem.
I trying to find out a very simple program that can turn Bluetooth on/off on a schedule.
I only use bluetooth at my car, and I'm always on my car at the same time.
Thanks
I have an app called Wireless Time, it lets you do that with Bluetooth, Wifi, Sound, and the Phone itself! I unfortunately do not remember where it's at, but I'm sure you can find it with a search here.
Thanks bwilliams73,
Wireless Time seems to do the job, but it's too confusing. I didn't liked the interface.
If anyone have a second option I would like to know.
Thanks
Can WirelessTime run minimized?
I've been looking for a tool like WirelessTime to turn on Bluetooth during the hours I'm commuting in the car and to turn off Wifi when I'm at work. I've put a shortcut in Startup to restart it after a soft-reset but is there a command line switch to start minimized ?

Just extract and add this to your start up items in the windows folder. Basically it turns on bluetooth when the phone is charging and turns it off when it is not. I use it because I don't really want bluetooth on when I'm not charging it and don't mind it being on when I am. Also I use a bluetooth headset when driving and I don't need to fiddle with the phone when I get into the car. Just put it in it's cradle and bingo....

WirelessTime.
It's working very well on my HTC diamond.

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?
Have a TMobile 900T and I can't get the Driving Mode to stop. I turn it off, uncheck the box, even do a force stop and it still comes on when I start to drive. I'd rather CHOOSE it than have it make the call itself. Any ideas?
Go to setting/locations/my places and remove/edit your car/bluetooth connection. For safety Samsung is "forcing" people to have hands free while driving. As soon as you pair you car radio with bluetooth in location settings, then as soon as the phone (bluetooth on) detects your vehicle's bluetooth, it automatically turns car mode on. The alternative is to switch off bluetooth

Thanks for the answer! Which means I can't play my music via bluetooth and the app doesn't play well with Pandora, near as I can see. Great. I appreciate the concern but I don't like being 'forced' to do anything, just as a matter of principal.
Any way to disable this? Any one have a better idea?
A custom rom is at this stage the only answer....and hopefully the rom developer has changed that in the rom
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?
