Before when I went to bluetooth and connect to my phone to tether my tablet by bluetooth. I just had to click on my phone in the list of devices and it would automatically would connect. Now I have to go into the device settings and check of internet access.
Is there a way I can set that up as an icon to just click on instead of having to go through 2 or 3 menus to connect to my phone via bluetooth?
Just wondering, if not no big deal.

Hi,
Has anyone been able to connect via Unified Remote either via BT tethering or direct BT-PC connection?
I would like to control some of my PC from my watch. Is that possible?
I'm on old version of Null and I can't get it to connect, but perhaps newer version solved it?
the only tiny little connection im aware of is the app called "bluetooth file transfer" and you can send files through BT, and it takes foreevvvver too... hope that helps.
I have no bluetooth tether option on my phone and tried using easy tether to try and get a internet connection but it doesn't connect. For the guys who don't have a bluetooth tether option on your phone how are you guys connecting to the internet using the gear?
Have a search. Been answered a heap of times. There is an included xposed module that you can use to achieve internet connection
hi guys,
i have this problem: i can't connect internet from my gear via bluetooth tethering... i have a note 3 with gear manager version 1.7...
if i go in settings (on the gear) to activate internet access in bluetooth settings, i couldn't find this profile!
if i connect to another device, a galaxy s3 with cyanogenmod, the bluetooth tethering is available
why? what's the problem?

Have you tried looking for it under the tethering and portable hotspot setting?

Sorry, totally misread that! On my gear it's. Settings-Bluetooth-little button next to note 3-scroll down that page and there's a tick box for internet access
Googling shows mixed results over whether this will be possible.
When my phone connects to the car Bluetooth, can mobile hotspot also turn on so my car sat nav can use the phone data?
Currently I have to turn it on manually each time.
Thanks

I do it with secure setting plugin... but you need to be rooted.
Regards,
Sorry for a possibly dumb question, I am new to android. Does Tasker provide additional functionality when rooted?

Can be done:
State: BT near (select BT from Nav device) -> task wifi set off, wait 2 seconds, wifi tether set on.
On android 6 I used secure settings for also switching bluetooth tether on. This doesn't work for me in android 7.0.
I now use the app Blue Car tethering. This checks for a bluetooth network and then forces bluetooth tethering.
This is unrooted for both phones.
From what I gather, YMMV depending on the phone, head unit, or even carrier. This works to turn on the hotspot and re-enable wifi/turn off hotspot when the bluetooth connection drops for my current setup (rooted Honor 6X/Android 6, Cricket Wireless, Android 4.4 head unit):
Profile state=BT Connected CAR KIT,*
Action=WiFi Tether Set On
Exit=WiFi Set On
I don't need secure settings for that to work on my Honor 6X, but I have two other phones that profile doesn't work on, so you might have to play around to get something that works for your particular setup
I've got it working, thanks for the help folks

Would you mind sharing how? It would be very useful to me. Thanks :good:
Sure, create a new profile based on State
In the filter type 'BT'
Then click BT Connected
Then select or type the exact name of the bluetooth connection of your car
Then create a new task for Tether On (instead of trying to find the options, I find it much easier to search)
Job done, works every time for me. As tether automatically turns off itself after xx minutes of not being used, I didn't bother setting an exit task to turn it back off.
Is this related to Bluetooth tether or wifi mobile hotspot?
I'm looking for an automated solution for my car android 2din device.
