Anyone know of any apps that would turn the hot spot on and off based off of a Bluetooth connection? I can't seem to find anything and I'm wondering if it's just not possible with this phone. I'm hoping it's not something that needs root to enable.

Have you looked into Tasker? I don't know if you can do it but I see a lot of people doing crazy things with it.

I did buy the app years ago, but never learned how to use it. Might need to do some searching, see if someone has done it out knows how to.

Don't worry it happen to me. Its very complex app.
bumping to see if anyone found anything that worked? I have been on a search and nothing seems to work. I was pointed to this post on Google+
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tasker/q5uSgqtwBkY
I wanted to have a shortcut on my home to turn on and off hotspot but as a Verizon customers, I can not do that, I tried 10 different apps none of them worked, here is why
Verizon added a hook into hotspot functionality that check for subscription, so if you turn it on, it will check if you are eligible for hotspot (I am) and only then will turn the hotspot on, but while it check it turn it back off (so all the apps , I guess get confused, they turn it on, but it turned off immediately)

This is probably why a simple toggle in Tasker does not work.
I tried the settings as listed there, and still couldn't get it to work

Guys, im the developer of Power Switch, an app that switches off your tablet's screen when you shut the case.
The main thread can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277712
Ive had reports of problems with the tab's light sensor, so would appreciate some debugging feedback.
You can use the lite version to test, it has all the features, but just wont save as much juice.
Thanks in advance. Feel free to reply here or in the main thread, i read both regularly!
Do you guys not have a light sensor or something?

Yes we do. Maybe if there was some incentive to be your testers, like a free full edition, you might get some to actually be your "guinea pigs"
It works, but it will be much better if we can have a locking sound...

Oh wow, thats a great idea, never thought of it... i will definitely add this in the next release.
Almost done!
Updated, added screen locking sound
I just ordered a case, so I will gladly test this out once I receive it.
Just to let you know, I did try the full version of your app, but ultimately refunded it. It's a great concept, but just didn't work well on my A500. I don't know if our light sensor sucks or what, but the app wasn't detecting the cover being closed.
Anyone else having problems? Problems not related to not reading the instructions?
I'll try again with the Lite version, and see if I can configure it better. I did read the instructions, maybe I was just too quick to dismiss it.
I tried this on my Acer and the Acer cover, but didnt seem to work. Also tried the lite version. I did play around with the settings abit but still nothing. Sorry
Hey I have a suggestion. I apologize if this is already a feature as I did not see it in the other thread. But if you're able to trigger screen locks and sounds and such, why not also add the ability to have it turn off/on wifi and/or 3g?
Interesting... i will look into it, thanks!
Any issues to report?
Anything to report?
While toying with my LG G2, I managed to find a setting where I could lock down the phone's USB connection and prevent it from showing anything when connected to a computer if the screen is locked prior. The only way to get it to show on the computer was to actually unlock the phone first in which then once it shows you can lock it back.
I find this feature AWESOME (something I always wanted) because people wouldn't be able to just put my phone on their computer and copy my ish (well I'm sure you can get around it, but most 'regular' people wouldn't be able to figure it out) <-- by regular I mean not NERDS like us.
If anyone else has discovered this setting and knows how to get back to it, plz share. I been looking for it for awhile but have not been able to find it.
Stock based or AOSP?

Yeah, it's definitely Stock. I found and tested it like wow this is kinda cool, then now that I want to turn it off temporarily due to a lot i'm going to be modding, I can't find the feature again, lol. I guess I could just turn the lock off in general for awhile... but I kinda don't want to, ya know?
If I figure out how I did it, I'll come back and post so you all will know. I think it's pretty good extra security personally. At least if you lose your phone and someone finds it, it gives you a bit more time to remotely wipe it.
Anyone figure out a way to use NFC when the screen is off? I'd like to be able to use some NFC tags that I can swipe over and do some Home Automation stuff, but I'd prefer to not have to turn on, unlock, and then swipe.

You must be a hoot at parties!
Unfortunately, I already searched XDA and didn't find (hardy) anything that mentioned Galaxy S5. I did find one thread that specifically mentioned the Galaxy, but not Verizon. I tried it anyway, but it didn't work. Which of course prompted my thread, in a Galaxy S5 forum, specifically mentioning the Verizon version, asking if anyone had gotten it to work.
But hey, thanks for the link to a vague search on XDA about *all* devices and *all* carriers! That's extremely helpful there!

Your loss. The information is there whether you look or not. Works great on my S5

If you know of a specific solution to for Verizon S5, any chance you can point me to that rather than just a list of search results?
Okay, I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54172523
I tested the version that is supposed to work with screen locked or screen unlocked (but not off), and that didn't work for me.
On a whim I tested the version that works with screen on, locked, or off, and that one seems to be working. So, if anyone else is looking for this for Verizon, this mod, which was technically made for T-Mobile version, should work for you.
Just go to the direct link above... no need to search or anything.
Mine are not lighting up and not working. I have done various resets and things would be back to normal, but that has stopped now. Have made enquiries and people are saying it's the Google app and you have to disable it then enable, but that doesn't work either. Has anyone else had this issue? Factory resets were advised in other threads but did not work. I'm getting so many bugs on this phone that it's starting to piss me off
Have you tried initializing in smart switch. Or using odin to flash the latest firmware?

I''ll give that a try as that seems to be the only option left apart from returning it.
Gave it a try x 2 and it initially appears to work. Then installed some apps and it reverted back. Tried again, and tried setting up as a new phone, same thing. This phone has to be the most disappointing smartphone I have ever had. Permanent bugs, poor sound. Should have waited for the HTC 10.
In Accessibility Settings check if "One touch mode" is enabled. Disable it.

Don't have one touch mode anywhere . This phone is really beginning to piss me off. Surely a replacement can't have as many bugs as the one I have. Samsung Internet hardly ever works, the settings I save never save and now this. i'm thinking Samsung rushed this out.
Maybe it's called "Single touch mode" or something similar, I'm translating from Italian...

Have you tried the app called galaxy button lights? It might fix the problem.
Heres a link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.notquiteinsane.galaxybuttonlights
Also check to see if you have powersaving enabled. When enabled the recent and back keys do not illuminate.

I think your only option is to get a replacement then. Hope you get a working one becuase this really is a great phone.
So people say but I have had nothing but problems with it. The sound quality is poor, it never saves my settings and I had to pay £200 to replace the screen whilst out jogging. I didn't drop it, it was in my arm strap for the entire 2 mile jog back from the gym. I'd love to swap it for a HTC 10 as I had the M7 and M8 and they were great phones and I didn't have any issues with them.

You must have just got a faulty one. I have had mine since it was released here in the uk and have not had a single problem with it other than the occasional reboot but thats acceptable and is just in the nature of Android. I would try a replacement but if you prefer you could sell it and put what ever you get towards a htc 10.

Is powersave mode on?
I've taken it to Samsung on Oxford St, London. After waiting 90 mins a member of staff tried the buttons and then said they will have to send it away for repair and it will take 7-8 days. Then instead of posting it back to me I have to go back to Oxford St and presumably have to wait the same time to get it back. Shambolic customer service.
Has anyone tried to use Android Pay on the F800K? I have tried it at a couple of stores and it keeps saying to tap again. When I tap I just set the phone on the reader and I can feel the phone vibrate so I assume it was at least trying to make the connection necessary for the transaction, but it's not completing.
I wanted to revive this one to see if anyone is using F800K with Android Pay. I am STILL having issues with it not working most of the time. I suspect that there is an issue with NFC on this phone. Android Pay seems to work when it wants to...
Forgive me if this is common knowledge (or completely bonkers) but I think I read somewhere that the small line/bar right above the middle of the camera bump is where the nfc is located in this phone.
I know nothing about Android pay because I've never set it up but (if I'm not remembering something that never happened) the way the person mentioned it seemed to me like that might be an uncommon place for it to be.
So on some random off chance that it may be helpful I figure it wouldn't help to mention it in case trying a different position on the card readers might help?
Hopefully this isn't the stupidest comment you've read all day... But if it is you can always have a laugh at my expense. lol
Who knows... Maybe I'm actually being helpful. If not... Sorry! Hope you get it figured out!

I have the ATT H910 and also can't get Pay to work. Same details as you and I'm tapping the camera to the NFC receivers. Phone vibrates, but doesn't do anything.

I wonder if this is a V20 bug or something wrong with Android Pay. I have tried to read my MRT card with the app that they supply for topping up and it works just fine so I question where the issue is as it seems that NFC is working fine.
My bro also can't use Android Pay on his H990DS. Contacted Google, keep asking the same questions that he had already answered. Obviously they don't have a solution to this at the moment.
