Hello everyone. Quick question, using null ROM and have Bluetooth auto connect on my phone. When I go out of range it does not reconnect, am I missing a setting?

Gear manager should reconnect your phone without the need of Bluetooth auto connect..... the only thing I'm using that app for is a tasker profile to turn on Bluetooth tether on on the gear combined with a message to the phone to turn it on via secure settings.

Thanks, I should have mentioned I am not using gear manager. Is that the only way to reconnect when it gets out of range?

I use the app "Bluetooth Auto Connect". In the events section in it's setting I've got "Bluetooth On" and "Screen On" selected. In profiles I've got "Networking (PAN)" ticked and in Devices, if I select the phone I've paired it with I've got "Networking (PAN)" ticked in there as well
When my phone gets back in range of my phone it auto reconnects and I can get online from the watch.
I'm not using gear manager at all

Bluetooth auto answer

Hello all,
I have a raphael, I'm using Romeos 190.1 (waiting for 190.2) and i'm very happy with this phone...
However I'd like to know if a solution exists to make the phone auto answer when it's connected on Bluetooth (in the car).
I am using phone weaver and it's very nice to change profiles but still when I'm in the car or skiing with m BT helmet it would be VERY nice to move the phone setting to "auto answer" after 1 ring...
Thanks for the help
start, settings, phone (in personal tab), then in the more tab it gives you the option
Yes, but i don,'t want it to answer automatically ALL THE TIME, only in bluetooth mode (ideally only when Bt is active and connected...)
Thanks

Bluetooth and automatic discovery

Hi guys,
I have an X1 and a new Nokia6600 slide.
I have them both paired to my laptop and car (which have both bluetooth built-in) Both of the phones have bluetooth enabled and are always visible, all options to disable bluetooth or to stop being visible are disabled.
The biggest difference is this....
When I turn on my laptop or step into my car, my Nokia says, look I found your laptop/car, you're now connected! (without me doing a single thing)
My X1 is like ".........................." nothing... I have to manually enable the connection via for example ActiveSync, and chose to connect via bluetooth and then everything works fine.
I checked every setting concerning bluetooth or security and everything but I just can't find an option to make my X1 act the same as my 6600. It also doesn't matter if I just turn off the 6600 and have only the X1 turned on.
Maybe it is a setting, maybe it needs some tool or something.. I hope somebody here can help me or point me into the right direction.
Thanks!

Tasker question - how can I turn on Bluetooth when WiFi goes off

So I've been trying to set tasker to turn on my Bluetooth when I get out of range from my homes WiFi signal.
Problem is I have no idea how to set tasked to do that.
Has anyone done this and possibly shoot me some info.

I would do something like this:
Profile: BT Off at Home
Context: Wifi Connected [SSID:<YourSSID>]
Enter:
Bluetooth Off
Exit:
Bluetooth On
The exit task isn't really necessary if the Bluetooth was on before you connected to your home Wifi, but it ensures that you get the results you're looking for regardless of the Bluetooth state before the profile activates.

I have a similar tasker situation setup on mine where if I'm not on WiFi my phone turned BT on and enables BT tethering. It is a bit more complicated than that though. Let me know if you'd like me to post it.

I use 2 profiles.
Enable BT Tether 1 is triggered when not connected to WiFi and executes "Enable Bluetooth Tethering" on entry and "Disable Bluetooth Tethering" on exit.
Enable BT Tether 2 is triggered when BT is turned when Bluetooth is on and does the same as above.
I use 2 profiles so that if Bluetooth is turned off when WiFi is also off, tethering enables itself again once BT comes back on. This also requites the use of an app called "Secure Settings" which can turn tethering on and off. When you turn tethering on if you're running a stock OS for your device it will check with your carrier (the OS does it, not Secure Settings) to see if you have that feature. This does not work if you use a 3rd party app to do tethering outside of the native OS method. If you are on CyanogenMod it does not check.
Enable Bluetooth Tether:
Code:
Profile Status BT Tether 1 ON
Profile Status BT Tether 2 ON
Secure Settings BT Tether Enabled if %WIFII !~ *CONNECTION*
Disable Bluetooth Tether:
Code:
Profile Status BT Tether 2 OFF
Secure Settings BT Tether Disabled
Now, I also have a much more complicated tasker series set up on my tablet to make sure my tablet always connects when wifi fails, but it took a lot more work to not waste battery power.
Auto Tether is triggered when not connected to WiFi and executes "Tether to Phone" on entry and "Disconnect from Phone" on exit.
Please note that where it says "Secure Settings Connect to Phone" the Secure Settings action used is "BT Connection" and you select your already paired device from the dropdown list. You can also set Secure Settings to toggle Bluetooth to ON if it is off, I don't have it say that way but it could be handy. I also found myself getting a lot of errors popping up as Toast notifications, but they were meaningless as the connection was established. Thus, I didn't worry about them and ended up disabling all notifications from Secure Settings.
Tether to Phone:
Code:
If %PhoneConnected = 0
Profile Status Monitoring Phone Connection ON
Secure Settings Connect to Phone
Profile Status Tether Search ON
Else
Profile Status Tether Search OFF
End If
Monitoring Phone Connection is triggered when the phone is connected via Bluetooth and executes "Phone Connected" on entry and "Phone Disconnected" on Exit.
Phone Connected:
Code:
Wait 1 Second
HTTP Get www.google.com:80
If %HTTPR=200
Variable Set %PhoneFailed to 0
Variable Set %PhoneConnected to 1
Profile Tether Search OFF
Else
Variable Set %PhoneFailed to 1
Variable Set %PhoneConnected to 0
End If
PhoneDisconnected:
Code:
Variable Set %PhoneConnected to 0
If %WIFII !~ *connection*
Profile Status Tether Search ON
Perform Task Tether to Phone if %PhoneFailed=0
End If
Tether Search is triggered every 5 minutes and executes Tether to Phone and has no exit.
I basically had to set it up this way because there is no way to have the tablet aware that it is connected to the phone at any given time, it'll execute an event but unlike WiFi there is no tasker variable for what devices are connected via Bluetooth using %PhoneConnected to manage this works very well. Using %PhoneFailed allows the script to be able to tell that a connection was attempted but unsuccessful, without this the tablet gets stuck in a loop always trying to reconnect once the phone goes out of range. I found this happening a lot when I would go to the grocery store and leave the tablet in the car after school. The battery drain wasn't extreme but it was there.
It is a little complicated, which kind of annoys me. One of these days I may get into Android programming and just make an app. But for now, this works. If the phone or tablet disconnect and are out of range, every 5 minutes a connection is attempted. If the connection drops, it does try once right away to reconnect, but then trips the Failed variable which prevents the tablet from going hardcore at trying to reconnect.

Question. Pebble setting from phone.

Hello.
Is there a possibility to alter pebble settings from the phone (Android) ?
In fact I like to switch bluetooth off on the Pebble when I'm in my car because it keeps disconnecting my audio.
Of course I know I have to switch bluetooth back on manually to establish a new connection with my phone
Maybe with tasker or some other software ?
Greetings.
