Basically, I want to be able to remotely control my phone form any networked pc in the house and only from pcs on the same network, which is why I want to know if its possible to do these two things:
1. Is there a way to connect into the phone and see it's screen as well as control it remotely? I know I can do the reverse where I can see my pc's screen and control them with my phone, is there any way to do it in reverse? And only make the connection work over LAN, not WAN?
2. Is there any way I can make my phone automatically turn WiFI on when I plug it into AC power to charge, and turn it off once it gets unplugged from AC power?
Thanks
SOTI has several versions
Try SOTI Pocket Controller-Pro @ http://www.soti.net/
SOTI can do both of those?
MyMobiler does this very well via Activesync. It's freeware so just Google it.
Through Activesync?
I want to be able to access it wirelessly though, not through a wired connection.
couldnt you use active sync via bluetooth? and what exactly are you trying to accomplish? there might be an easier way you havent thought of yet. share

SBSH's PhoneWeaver can do this. You can create a profile that is triggered by being connected to AC Power and that profile can include having WiFi turned on. After disconnection it would return to the default or scheduled profile which could have WiFi off.
I know a thing or two about mobile phones and I am planning to buy a new car. and i wanna secure my car myself, that is through car tracking...
Now normal trackers in my country are expensive and car robbing etc is high.
I was thinking, if I can hide a mobile phone with built in GPS in car (need good ideas for hiding place), and connect it to mobile car charger and car battery (mobiles battery will serve as backup), i can practically make it a tracking device..
i need to know of software that can msg me back the exact gps location, or if i subsribe to internet trhough sim,it can update its location live... so i can track it in real time using the internet (e.g. google maps, latitute etc).. I can get all the necessary software (garmin etc etc)..
Has anyone tried this before?
The problems that I can face are:
a) How to connect car battery to mobile phone
b) Good and safe hiding place for mobile phone
c) if the theif or whoever takes battery out.. mobile battery will only last for 3 hours max with GPS on.. after tht it will switch off. How can I switch it back on without touching it physically?
d) How can I remotely control the car? lock it etc.. I can install the cheap china remote controls.. but how can i conect it to mobile phone?
Suggestions, practical advice etc etc required..
p.s. window mobile or symbian... i need the cheapest with phone with GPS and longest battery life
also interested...
can anyone help us with this software
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.
Hello people, I would like to automate the connection of my cell phone to the HU, the only thing I need to enable on my phone is the Hotspot, is there any way to enable only the Hotsport when I enter my car? Another thing I would like you to do is that every time I turn on the car and the HU goes out of the sleep mode, kill the processes and close all the previously opened app, im on Hal9k rom.
I saw that you can configure the Tasker application to activate the Hotspot when the BT of my car is connected, but I do not want the BT to be activated, I want only the Hotspot to be activated, it occurs to me that every time the HU leaves the mode Asleep, send the task to my cell phone in some way (use the same account as the HU) and activate my Hotspot, is it possible?
In my case, here the sequence :
1. Car BT detected
2. Data ON > Hotspot ON
3. Car BT not connected
4. Hotspot OFF > Data OFF > wifi ON
In details. quoted on XDA
In tasker :
1. New Profile -> State -> Net -> BT Connected
2. New Task -> Plugin -> Toggle Tethering -> Click Config Pencil -> Enable Tether -> Open setting buttons below -> Toggle Allow modify system settings
3. Go back, don't worry about clicking Install app to system and go back again, and back one more time -> Click the play button at the bottom left to test to see if it works. Prosper! (Don't turn tethering off just yet)
4. Go back to profiles, and long press on the Toggle Tethering Enable tether task and click Add Exit Task
5. New Task -> Plugin -> Toggle Tethering -> Click Config Pencil -> Click Disable Tether radio button -> go back 2 times -> click the play button at the bottom left to test to see if tethering has been turned off.
I dont want to use BT, I made it... is not full tested but think its works. With that I turn off BT after hotspot is on and again turn on BT and he dont reconnects more.

Very good thread. By reading it I discovered that I can make my life easier.
I have a new peugeot 3008 with android auto and the next setup :
- my main phone (not rooted) is in my pocket, with bluetooth on, paired with the car. I don't use it for android auto, just for calls and media streaming. When I'm in the car I just keep it in my pocket. When I start the engine it automatically connects to the car's bluetooth.
- my "entertainment" phone - always connected via usb to my car's media unit. It's a rooted phone without any sim inside. I have wireless on all the time, and I make a hotspot from my main phone to have internet on this rooted phone. Being rooted - I've disablet the bluetooth completely, because android auto would have forced the bluetooth connection to my car from this usb connected phone. And I don't want that, I want to connect to the car's bluetooth just with my main phone, from my pocket (because I want to benefit from hands free voice calls from my main phone - where I have my contacts and a sim card, plus other reasons ... the car sends trip statistics after every engine shut down). Off course, on this rooted phone I have installed carstream and aa mirror.
Until now, everytime I entered the car, when I needed internet on my "entertainment" phone I had to reach from my pocket phone and manually activate hotspot, and than, in about 15 seconds my "entertainment" phone automatically connected and all was ok.
After reading this thread I've discovered a little app called "Automate" and I've used it to automate the process of activating hot spot.
So now I don't even need to reach out to my pocket phone ... I just enter the car, start the engine and that's it.
The logic of the flowchart is :
- check if the bluetooth is connected to my car ; if yes - than enable hotspot ; if not - disable hotspot.
The automation is running on my main phone, and I use the fact that when I go into my car - the main phone connects automatically to the car's bluetooth (I off course have to keep bluetooth on all the time on my main phone, but I had it on anyway).
The result is that I start the car (actually the multimedia unit of the car is the trigger) - my main phone auto-connects to car's bluetooth, the automation flow immediately senses that and enables the main phone's hot spot - and than the "entertainment" phone from the car connects to this hot-spot in about 15 seconds or less.
I turn off the car, I'm disconnected from car's bluetooth - and the automation flow senses and auto-disable the hot spot.
Great !

I use Carspot http://http://www.carspotwifi.com it automates WiFi hotspot on your mobile when BT connects. Be aware you will need to power your mobile whilst in the car as hotspot consumes considerable power.
I do not keep BT conected because I never im on BT mode on the HU and is uncomfortable go to BT mode each time I have to listen something come from the phone, like an WhatsApp audio. Yes I will like to keep just the phone calls with BT... But even I do not talk much by phone.

I do this with a secondary phone using freedompop. I setup tasker to turn on hotspot when charging and airplane mode when not. Works like a charm.
Very good thread. Automate makes life easier.
Friendly reminder that android supports background scanning since ages, and you can use it if you can't be bothered to keep the whole thing enabled (and yes, automate supports it for example)
Hi,
For years (four) I'm using multiple Apps for this task. And I prefer to use this one: Hot Spot Starter
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.thjunge11.autohotspot
It works without root and just for that.
I never see a problem with it in five different smartphones that I used with it.
I hope it helps.

I hope someday AA can work with TWO phones at the same time: one connected via USB and the second via wiresless. More or less this solution will enable WiFi AA with HU supporting only USB (as car manufacturers doesn't like to update the software for free).
Is this working with Android 9 or 10 ?
Just want to say thanks to all the information on here.
I required to have notifications popup on my car stereo older android unit due to my phone's speaker being broken I required to see all my work emails appear as popups on my screen to do this I couldn't find any simple way.
I found 1 tool that does this well my app store is outdated and only offers 3rd party crap I found "Android TV notifier" I gave it a shot and was amazed runs brilliant pushes any specific applications notifications to the server. Which looks great on the screen as you drive.
Problem was every time I got in car I was required to switch on hot spot also if I forgot I got no push notification so these instructions helped make this happen.
Manb there is a simpler way to get mail notifications working on my head unit but my work uses activesync and they tighted the security which stops older devices syncing but the push notifications works great on the head unit. I set it to push outlook messages and WhatsApp and Facebook and text messages
Apps required to make this happen
Android TV notification app ( on phone and also on head unit) (register for small fee)
Tasker (setup as instructed on site)
also some head units have locked startup so I had to locate a decent startup manager for the headunit due to it blocking Android TV notifier from starting.
You can use Bixby routines if you are using samsung phone for auto hotspot
for me I use carplay connected to my car (via iPhone SE 2016) via usb.
Then I use my Samsung phone as hotspot provide connection to iphone SE.
The android auto in my samsung phone is disable.
iPhone SE (Carplay)
1) for Google Maps
2) Waze
3) Navigation
4) iPhone SE stay in car always.Leave it as it will charge when use
Samsung phone
1) spotify via BT to car
2) call
i do not keep BT conected because I am never on BT mode on the HU and it is uncomfortable to go BT mode each time as I have to receive a call or make the call most of the time.
Hey all,
I have developed a new app for Android 11 that will do the bluetooth-enable hotspot feature. You can also set it to enable hotspot if the charger is connected whilst in certain orientations.
let me know what you think.
SpotUp
A simpler way is, create a script in tasker to enable Hotspot. Create an app from this script. (by using tasker factory). Use a button in phone to enable / disable this app by double pressing the button.
So every time you need a Hotspot you just double click the button of the phone.
You don't always need Hotspot to be enabled when you are in car because you will drain battery without reason. This way you easily enable disable Hotspot every time you really need it by just double pressing a button..

Its a few years later, but THANKS! I couldnt figure out how to set it up on Tasker, because I didnt know you can long press for the exit task...
Also it has kinda changed. Its no longer a plugin to turn on/off tethering, but its integrated into the network settings.

Hi there I feel a little silly asking this question but here I go.
I have been using llama for years to turn the hotspot on the phone on when I am in the car. However, I just got a new phone and llama is not available but I have downloaded and paid for tasker and found a project on taskernet "automatic car hotspot" BUT it asks to confirm the device rather than connect automatically. I would appreciate it if you could look at the project and point me in the right direction to get this to work on my new samsung S21.
The phone connects to the car (forester)
If connected > Turns on mobile hotspot
If NOT > Turns off mobile hotspot
