Turn on A2DP for music

Has anyone figured out a quicker way to turn on A2DP BT connection? It takes way too many clicks and very difficult to do with finger. The best solution is a one-finger-click icon in HTC Today. Moreover, how can I create a shortcut to wireless manager? It's not one of the application listed on the list.

This is a today screen plug-in that makes it very simple.

It also accepts command line input without any today screen plug-in.

1. Click on the Wireless Manager icon on HTCHomePlugin.
2. Click on Settings
3. Select Bluetooth
4. Click and Hold on the name of my BT headset (with stylus)
5. Select "Set as Wireless Stereo"

Must be the bluetooth implementation on the device - yours sounds nice. I purchased some Musicfan A2DP speakers recently and I also have to go throught the laborious process mentioned above.

My Procedure -
1. Comm Manager and turn on Bluetooth
2. turn on my headset
3. start Windows Media Player
Now - if I leave Bluetooth on all the time (which I have started to do since the threads on 'the battery lasts longer with bluetooth on and no headset on' then that simply leaves the last two options - not sure how to get more simple than that on my TILT.

Focus S: BlueTooth Icon will not go away

Got the Focus S on Saturday, 5 days ago. Love it. Connected flawlessly with my Jabra in the car. When I turn off Bluetooth, the icon will not go away without a reboot. Thats not a huge deal except, while connected to the Jabra, I get all the voice actions associated with a handsfree device. With the Jabra turned off, I still get those actions. With the Bluetooth turned off, I expect those actions to go away. But, the icon stays displayed, and the voice actions still remain, even though Bluetooth is off in Settings.
Am I missing something??

That's odd, have had none of those issues
Have you deleted the pairing, and repaired them?
Does it behave the same with another Bluetooth device?

Yeah, I've done that. In fact, I just reset the device. I like the voice actions....cool....but not if bluetooth doesn't turn off...my phone started talking to me in Carl Jr.'s today.

Have you tried another Bluetooth device?
If it still does it then I would prolly take it back. Only a week old, you should be able to swap it for a different one. The Bluetooth should work flawlessly.

Ok...try as I may, I can no longer reproduce this problem. Which leads me to believe, I was full of sxxt.
I'll keep an eye on it. AT&T has a 30 day buyers remorse...so I have until april 4 I believe....but I'm believing this might just have been a user error. Darn users...always get me in trouble.

100 NFC tags for 25p per one

So, I was looking on ebay and I found a seller from Hong Kong that's selling 100 NFC chips for £24.99, which is an INCREDIBLE price. They do them in either keyring tags, or cards. Whatever tickles your fancy. You can find them here!
As soon as I get them and test them out, I'll let you guys know how they are!

stupid question, but how would you program these?

Nah, NFC is a standard so pretty much any decent app will work well to program and erase your NFC tags.

you can start with:

2. near bed : 1 for calendar, and 1 for reminder, 1 to turn on air plane mode (so nothing will disturb your sleep)
3. near you pc/mac : 1 for calendar, and 1 for reminder, 2 for emails
4. on your car dashboard to open maps / navigon
5. 1 on the living room to open remote app
6. 1 in your wallet to open bank app
7. 1 on the gym bag to open gym app
8. last but not least, pull your spen n scribble to figure out what to do with the rest 88 of it
i myself only use no 1,2,4,7

Yea those are good uses...I think I've just been too lazy and haven't taken the time to program and use my tags LOL. I'm going to figure out a good use for these things. If more people used NFC, I would probably buy 100 of them and give them out or sell them for $1 each lol.

I was looking at buying some NFC tags and had a question.
I want to put one on my car mount. I want it to turn bluetooth on and some other things. But what I'm wondering is, if I pull my phone away from the tag, will it turn bluetooth back off?

You need to create a tag that toggles the settings you want. That way whenever you're leaving your car, you just tap your phone against the tag and then it turns off your bluetooth. However, I'm not sure how that works if you set it to open a program and then you want to close that program.
For example, a tag could contain the following commands for a car profile:
1. Turn off wifi
2. Toggle bluetooth
3. Set volume to max
4. Toggle bluetooth
5. Open music player
You would tap the phone against the tag upon entering the vehicle and it would perform those actions. Now when you leave the car, you might want your volume turned off to vibrate or silent, and you probably want to close the music player. Short of writing a separate tag, to perform those actions, I'm not sure how you would accomplish the latter two tasks with the commands from the first tag I just listed. It might be possible with Tasker, but I don't have any experience with that app since I can't convince myself to spend $6.50 on it lol.

But still it sucks that you have to unlock the phone and use nfc

I use the NFC to turn my Bluetooth on and off in the car as well. I have a NFC keychain that I programmed to turn everything off and set the phone up for use away from the house / car (Ringer to loud, vibrate on, GPS on, Wifi off, Bluetooth off etc.) then when you leave the car or house you can reset your phone settings.

Yeah, but since these 100 dog tags work out at the same price as 20 dog tags and are essentially the same, why bother getting 20? Me and my friend are halving in for them because we wouldn't ever use 100. And so I'm getting 50 for the price of 10. I'm sure I'll find uses, eventually. Like sharing programs I produce or something.

In short, no. The bluetooth will stay on. Once it has scanned the NFC tag, it won't scan it again until you put your phone up against it for a second time. You have three basic options with bluetooth enabling: On, Off, and Toggle. I'd imagine that's straight forward. But your best bet is using the toggle selection just to turn the things back off again when your journey is done.

These are the exact same ones I put up. Well, in a different colour and with an advertisement on it. You'll find that all companies just bulk buy the tags from the same sellers in China, Korea and other places like that. Only difference being, the ones I put up work out a lot cheaper. The only time the tags will be different is if you go onto a website and buy them from direct manufacturers, because they do different ranges of them. But, that's expensive and aimed more towards businesses.

Sorry about that did not mean to repost the same stuff. I could not look at the link you posted because I am at work and they block ebay. Was just trying to give some ideas about returning the phone back to normal setting when you leave the car / house etc.
I have been using NFC since my EVO LTE and have the stickers all over the place now.

Aha that's quite alright. But yeah, NFC is handy when you find the uses for them. But sadly since I only ordered keychains, I need to get a few stickers too.

NFC has come in really handy for my non tech savvy wife. She was always asking me to do stuff on the phone so I just programmed a bunch of stickers for common stuff and now she just scans them. Technology is making my life a little easier a little at a time. :good:

Actually I just figured this out today. It's quite simple using NFC Task Launcher
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jwsoft.nfcactionlauncher&hl=en
This app creates "tasks," two if which can be put into a "switch." For example, the first task I created was "Car Enter." It does the following:
1. Disable wifi
2. Enable Bluetooth
3. Set ringer type normal
4. Set ringer volume to 7 (this may make step 3 redundant, but it doesn't hurt)
5. Set media volume to 12
6. Enable auto-rotation
7. Launch music player
Then I created a second task called "Car Leave." It does the following:
1. Disable bluetooth
2. Set ringer type vibrate
3. Set ringer volume 0
When I get into the car, I tap against the tag once and it loads task 1, which is "Car Enter." When I leave, I tap against the tag again to load "Car Leave."
Pretty straight forward once you play with the program. So far I've used one tag properly and given another to my friend lol.

I got one programmed for connecting to my password protected wifi for guests. also use for alarm clock.
I play Magic: The Gathering and put a TecTile on the inside of my deck box lid and it reads it with the box closed from the outside. i have it set to open up a life counter program that i have preset with 1 player and my name. It works pretty well. I might buy 100 of the cards and see if i can print onto them and give them out as business cards for my repair business

anyone wants to split the package 50/50 lol i dont know wat the hell im going to do with 50, but definitely better than 100 lol
Im willing to pay like $20 USD if anyone wants to split

[Q] Fuelband as a Trusted Bluetooth Device?

So I am eagerly awaiting my Cyber Monday (Wednesday) Moto X and while doing so, I've been browsing through accessories I might want to enhance my Moto Xperience, and I really want to take advantage of the Trusted Bluetooth Device along with Touchless Controls.
I've been searching around, but I haven't been able to find a definitive answer, just off-to-the-side mentions of its use.. I have a Nike Fuelband SE that has BTLE. Nike doesn't support AndroidOS, so there's no dedicated app for it. I am, however, able to discover it with my current phone (Droid 4).
So basically, does anyone know if I will be able to use my Fuelband as a Trusted Bluetooth Device, or how I might go about doing that? I guess I could find some BL keychain if there was no way to use it.
Thanks ahead of time for your replies and help.

If your droid 4 can see it I can't see why the moto x won't. Once you connect to a Bluetooth device it will ask you if you want to make it a trusted device. If it doesn't the setting is under security. I can't see why it wouldn't work. Good luck.
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app

Thanks. I was concerned because it didn't actually support Android, but was hoping it could simply act as a dummy BTLE device. Got an e-mail from Fedex telling me it's arriving today so I'll test it out and come back here with what I've got

If anyone happens to be interested, the Fuelband SE isn't continuously syncing via Bluetooth to the Moto X. It pairs, and the Moto X asks if I want to make it a trusted device, but the notification tray icon never turns blue. It doesn't seem to be able to continuously sync. Too bad I was really looking forward to this.
If anyone knows a way around this, please let me know. Thanks!

have you done any other testing? kit kat got rid of the blue theme. the icons are either orange (no connection), white (connected) or dark (disabled).

I just tried it with a bluetooth headset and the icon turns and stays white. With the Fuelband connected, it just stays sort of grayed out.

Working!
This has been pushed back due to what I assume is a lack of interest for, but in case someone else decides to figure this out or something similar to it, I have managed to get the Fuelband SE to "sync" with the Moto X and act as a Bluetooth Trusted Device.
There's an app on the Play store called "Bluetooth Auto Connect" that you can set to sync with the Fuelband (and what I assume would be any device) and it will do so automatically. The icon stays greyed out, but turning the Fuelband's BT on and off in turn pops up that Trusted Device notification on the Moto X.
I hope this helps someone else with any type of random trusted device need.
Cheers

You can use it as your trusted device to keep your phone unlocked while you're in proximity to it and connected via Bluetooth. Saves me those few seconds of having to enter in my password, and maintains some security.

Oh, I thought you were referring to what I can do with the pairing to the Moto X.
I've been using the fitness aspect of the Fuelband since March 2012. The newest one that I have now I can use to track my general activity throughout the entire day, tag specific workout sessions in order to keep track of my workout intensity over time, track hours of sleep, and set goals for myself (via # of Fuel points) every day to give me an activity level to reach for. Since there's no Android app or any sort of Android support on Nike's end, I do all my data syncing through my PC.
And now I can use it to keep my phone unlocked when it's on me

I've got a Pebble syncing fine and enabled as a trusted device but my bluetooth icon is always greyed out. I think it only turns white when there's an audio connection like with a headset or stereo.

Makes sense why mine is grayed out too. Pebble supports Android though, and since there's no support/app for the Fuelband on Android, I had to use the auto bluetooth connect app to force a pairing to make it a trusted device. Was close to buying a Pebble though. Saw it was on sale for $90.

Yup. I got mine yesterday from Best Buy for $90. Wasn't planning on buying one but, at that price, I thought what the hell. So far I'm really digging it.

Its a shame it wasnt hacked already it would be nice to have wristband with notification...I am not into fitness or watch stuffs :angel:

Thanks for the info on the app!
By using this app to ensure a connection, how long does your Fuelband SE battery last? I suspect it has shorten considerable from when you were not using BT at all.
Also, since there are at least 2 battery sizes depending on the band size (circumference), which size is yours?

Bluetooth Near not working properly?

Same here. I'm using RR ROM.
Have you found a solution?

I know this is a year old but I found a bunch of posts like this while looking for the useage of BTNear, so I figured I'd throw it out there for the next guy. It sounds like you didn't select the "Toggle" option. Without it, it will only turn on your Bluetooth the first time and it leaves it on to scan every X amount of seconds. It won't Toggle on, scan for BT device and then toggle off. Would explain why it runs fine at first and then after you turn off Bluetooth when you reach your destination. It either tries to scan with BT off and fails or it breaks the code when BT is mysteriously off and exits. Hope it helps someone.
