Hey guys,
I have a s7 edge and it's got a particular annoyance of having poor bluetooth audio streaming quality when connected to any android wear device or wearable. I've found that the audio quality improves when you've disconnected all the devices and it's just the phone and the BT headphones connected. So right now, whenever I go to my desk or in my car, I disconnect the wear by going into the wear app and then connecting to my BT speakers. As you can imagine, this isn't the most convenient thing to do and I'd like there to be a seamless disconnect of the wear upon connection of whichever BT audio device I specify. I've set up a profile that can initiate a task when connecting to my BT headphones but I'm struggle to find how I can disconnect my smartwatch using a tasker task. Anyone have any ideas how to do this? And I would also make a profile that upon disconnect of my BT headphones to reconnect the smartwatch. The smartwatch is great for me when I'm out and about in meetings without the distraction of whipping out my phone, so something like this would be really helpful.
Thanks
I havent tried it, but I think the following should work. You will need Secure Settings though.
Create a Profile and select State, then BT Connected. Under name add your headphones.
For the task simply go to plugin and Secure Settings. Here add BT Connection(under Actions). Select your smartwatch and set it to disconnect.
For the exit task do the same but select Connect this time.
Let me know if you have questions.
Hope you get it to work.

Is there an app for android to automatically connect A2DP when the handsfree connects?
I used to use an app called autoA2DP on win mobile.
At first pairing it connects both a2dp and handsfree, after that only handsfree connects automatically, any help would be appreciated as it's already driving me nuts....
Thanks!

Go to bluetooth settings, long press on the device in question, then options. Make sure Phone and Media are both checked.
Yep, they are... I can manually connect a2dp from both the car stereo and the phone, it just doesn't happen automatically like the handsfree does, had the same prob with windows mobile, but an xda dev user here developed autoA2DP to watch for a handsfree connection, then activate A2DP.
I don't know why yours is different, but mine auto connects for both every time I turn my Bluetooth headset on.
It does vary between headsets a bit. My Jabra Halo's connect automatically when I power on the phone or the headset. On the other hand my JBL Reference 610's had to be connected manually every time.
Still it seems odd though that is connects in handsfree and not A2DP, I always thought it was all or nothing. When a device connects it gives all available profiles and the phone decides what to accept. I don't know, sorry.
I have the same problem.. it does not auto connect with my car's bluetooth. The only way it auto connects is when I have the discoverable mode on (which has a limit of 116 secs or so). So an app that lets you be discoverable all the time would be great!

Same problem but reverse. My phone connects automatically to my phones music everytime i switch it on, however the more important headset/phone functions do not. I must manually disconnect and reconnect the stereo from within the phones bluetooth settings for both to work. Have looked through hundreds of threads found loads of people eith the same problem, yet no solutions. Would love an app to just disconnect and reconnect the bluetooth the moment it detects a paired device in range.... as yet found nothing...
Well... I'm getting the same.
I have LiquidAUX on my car and to have both phone and a2dp synced, I have to restart phone BT and LiquidAUX every time I go into car. And most of the times I can only have 1 connection each time, or phone is on and a2dp is off or a2dp is on and phone is off. It's really annoying since I had an HTC Hero with Android 2.2 and it used to work with no problems...
Hi guys,
Before one month I buy HTC Desire android and I have problem streaming audio through Bluetooth. I have connected the phone with my car and they are paired. Every time when I go in the car my phone is connected to the car Bluetooth automatic, but I'm not able to run A2DP.
I'm with latest Runney rom, before that I tested with MIUI XJ, but no success with both.
Can some one tell me if there is rom without these 2 issues - bluetooth auto connection and a2dp.
Thanks
I find the following app very good to quickly connect to multiple headsets/speakers
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sflab.bluetooth
ie. @ home i have a D200 creative speaker
instead of going into bluetooth settings.. just click the widget and its connected!
Cons: sometimes the widget does not respond.. but give it some time.
Updated Version of above:
One click - Connect 2 Specific Bluetooth device for A2DP and Phone app:
Bluetooth Pair
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gnssoftworks.bluetoothpair
found it very useful for swapping bluetooth headphones between devices WITHOUT turning off Bluetooth entirely or going into the settings menu.
Example Use Case:
I have one Stereo Bluetooth headset with mic (two profiles - phone and A2DP audio)
I have one Android Phone and one Android Tablet.
Phone Profile is always connected to the Android Phone, but the A2DP audio changes depending on which device you want to listen to music from.
Normally, if you want to listen to audio from the Tablet when your headset's A2DP profile is connected to the phone, you'd have to first go to the settings menu of the phone, and disconnect the A2DP, leaving Phone Profile connected. Then go to the settings menu on your tablet and connect the A2DP only.
Then you'd have to do the opposite if you want to listen to audio from the Phone again.
Takes a long time.
With Bluetooth Pair, you can specifically connect or disconnect to a specific device and specific profile (phone / a2dp) by widgets.
So you won't have to turn off the bluetooth completely on one device just to allow your headset to connect another device. Nor do you need to go into settings anymore.
1.) Just tap on the A2DP device specific widget on the phone to disconnect, the A2DP Profile from the phone
2.) go to the Tablet, and tap on the A2DP device specific widget to connect the A2DP profile of the headset to the Tablet
Two taps!
Hello, I currently use Tasker to prevent my car from automatically playing music when Bluetooth connects to the stereo system. However, I would also like it to prevent the Bluetooth autoplay when ending a call. Does anyone know how I can do that? I was looking at creating a new profile that detects when the Bluetooth is connected and also when the phone call ends, but I couldn't get it to work.
Also, my current profile isn't perfect... I'd love to figure out a way to obliterate the autoplay bluetooth feature of my Toyota. I have it disabled to only about 1/5th the time but still, it's annoying.
Thanks!.
Hello! Thank you in advance for any help.
My Goal is to make a Profile / Task to enter into "Car Mode" and then when the car is Disconnected Go back into Normal Mode.
I always have my BT headphone connected. If they are connected to my phone the car will not connect to the phone. So If i make a shortcut to initiate that would work so Click shortcut "Enter Car Mode", Disconnect from BT ear buds, Connect to BT Car head unit, turn portrait mode on, Start CAR App.
Then when BT Car Head Unit disconnects turn portrait mode off, kill CAR app. (Dont really need it to reconnect to Earbuds because they would of turned of)
I've played with states and Near BT but nothing has really been consistent or worked correctly. Any Help would be great! Thanks!
Use secure settings if you want to connect/disconnect a Bluetooth device
There's an app called Bluetooth Auto Connect that also has Tasker integration. I've never used it so I can't say how well it works or if it will even do what you want to accomplish. It's free so it might be worth a look.
Situation:
when my NOTE 8 is connected to my LEVEL U PRO and i get in my car, phone continuously pups up a screen asking for a password for CAR AUDIO and a notification sound every minute, its disturbing...
(it keeps trying to connect to CAR BT even though they're UnPaired AND phone is still connected to LEVEL U Headphones)
when phone and car are paired, PHONE connects to both devices automatically and i dont want that so i UNpaired them.
my car BT is AlwaysOn and cant turn it off
Question: is there any way to stop this?
Is it possible that it's your car BT that is thinking "I was paired to the Note 8... ah, there is it, hey Note 8 why won't you talk to me?"
I would try flushing your car BT's settings, or if you can't do that, try and pair it to a different phone so that it doesn't keep trying to bother your Note 8.

You Are Right.
seems like my CAR BT has a list of paired devices, that when any of them is in reach it tries to connect to it, so tough i Unpaired CarBT from phone, my car still has it in it's list and tries to connect, but my phone requires password cause I've UnPaired them.
removing my phone from that list SOLVED the problem (the pop up and the notification sound)
BUT, I would better like them to be Paired AND Not Connect Automatically. is this possible in android?
cuz you know when i want to connect to CAR BT i have to PARK and re-enter the password (then they are paired and i have to Unpair and delete device from list again)
it would be nice to have them paired but only connect when i want (for music play)

What happens if you pair them, but switch off the media facility? Then you can just enable/disable the media as and when you want to use it in the car?

I didn't quite understand that, but i think the best solution (for me) is to let my phone connect to both CarBT and LevelU, then i disable call audio for CarBT from my phone's paired device settings.
so CarBT has only Media audio
and LevelU has both Media and call (so both works when im out of car and only connected to LevelU)
then, when i'm in my car and connected to both LEVEL and CAR, i set the audio output (from samsung connect panel on pull-down notification area) to CarBT, but since CarBT doesn't have CallAudio, the music will play on car, but during a call, music is paused and call audio comes from my LevelU just as i wanted
i'll have to test for a while for any flaws...
i think you kinda meant the same thing?
