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.

WiFi calls

Can anyone come up with a way to forward calls to your watch through WiFi and make calls as well?
We know you can connect a Bluetooth directly to your watch, so theoretically you could do it... Am I right?
Anyone?
A2DP and HRP are the only bluetooth profiles enabled in android wear right now. Bluetooth headset/earpieces use the HSP profile.
Theoretically, you could have a push-to-talk conversation, using the watch mic and bt audio. It would have to be a call via a SIP app (e.g. skype, google), and not a call received by your phone via cell network.
Apparently side-loaded apps do have direct internet access when connected to wifi (see firefox on wear), so maybe someone will hack something together. (I haven't tried the internet connection myself) I would be very surprised if it's a good experience.
a wear ptt solution would b big. that would b an awesome hangouts feature aswell

Just wondering if anyone is having bluetooth connection issue on AOJ firmware

I got range and disconnect issue with both my android wear watch and A2DP wireless speakers recently but oddly not much issue with my car bluetooth though it seems to take longer than before to connect? Thinking if worth the trouble of clearing the bluetooth application data and re-pairing all pieces of bluetooth stuff

Bluetooth and Huawei Smart Watch

Hi all,
I got a Huawei Smart Watch a few weeks ago.
For some reason when it's connected to the Nexus 6P with Bluetooth Audio switched on in the Watch, it won't connect to the Car's Bluetooth when the car is switched on.
Is anyone having this same issue? is there anyway of fixing it apart from turning off the Bluetooth Audio function on the watch?
Surely the phone could priorities the Car's Bluetooth. I don't seem to see this issue with either other watches or phones.
Im not sure if the device has a way to set priority of BT items but IIRC, you can only connect one type of BT device at a time. I have a Samsung gear Live watch which runs android wear. it stays connected all of the time and I can still connect to my truck BT radio. But you cannot connect headphones and a speaker to BT at the same time. just dont work that way.

Bluetooth Connectivity

Alright,
Quick question, is it possible to make your phones bluetooth connection strength very good, like for example, let's say I've got 5 s8's, and a car that plays bluetooth audio, I've paired all 5 phones to the car, is there a way to make one of the phones pair automatically? Is there a setting on the phone? Or will it be from the car?, if its on the phone,am I able to do this to all Bluetooth devices? So if I go near a Bluetooth device, that I've paired with,and there's someone else beside me that's paired,I want it to connect to mine first,
Thanks
You should first try looking in the Bluetooth settings in your car multimedia system. It's really dependent on each system if it allows this kind of behavior.
