I was searching the forum, and couldn't find anything, was wondering if an app exists to periodically check the bluetooth radio?
What I had in mind would look to see if there is an active connection (i.e. headset) at specified intervals, and if not it would turn off the bluetooth radio to help save battery.
If this app exists, please point in the right direction, thanks
Nothing yet?
I'm looking for such en application too.
But the perfect way to save BT-Power would be this:
- BT ist turned off
- the App switches BT on and searches for paired Devices(free Interval, different Intervals for different times of the day/week i.e. every Morning(7-7:30) on workdays BT-Search-Interval is 1 Minute)
- If a paired device is found you can select per device if Bluetooth stay on or switches back off (i.e. Car-Hands-free: stays on, Home-PC: switches off)
- If a paired Device disapears the app will switch BT off
- If Bluetooth is switched on manually the App won't change this state
And of course it has to work with both BT-Stacks (Broadcomm/Widcomm and M$)

A weird thing has happend to my Magician - Bluetooth, which I don't use very much, gets turned on whenever I call out. It seems like this started to happend after I fiddled around with BT tools (now uninstalled).
Any tips on how one can fix this?
the coz of Pocket Bluetooth Tools ,it turn bluetooth ON automaticlly when u call or recived call, if that bother you install the previous version 1.0.1.2... 8)
Yup, that's one of the settings - one of the better features - of Pocket BT Tools.
What is the advantage with that? For a headset?
yes
The automatic turning on of Bluetooth, is not a good feature, though it might be if there was an option of turning this feature off.
I found that the automatic turning on off Bluetooth uses up your battery power much faster as you never remember to turn the Bluetooth off.
huh ?
my bluetooth tools turn bluetooth off again after the time set for it to autoturn off you know that clock in the today part of bluetooth tools
if you play with a regeditor you can set the time 100% yourself
I made a separate thread asking if it would be possible to turn off a bluetooth device from a timer on the phone, no one responded so I assume it is not possible. However, is there a way to turn off bluetooth automatically on the fuze? Like a bluetooth sleep timer?
WLAN certainly has this functionality, I haven't noticed anything like that for bluetooth, though.

there is a program that allows you to turn on and off wifi/BT/sound but only by the hour

its a little annoying to set up but it will get the job done.
If you are willing to spend a few dollars you can purchase the SPB Phone Suite which lets you activate Bluetooth on a time schedule automatically. I have set up my phone so that it automatically switches the BT profile at 9.15am, keeps it on until 7.00pm (business hours) and then shuts off BT automatically and reverts to normal profile for power saving during the night... Excellent sw.
phoneAlarm or phoneAlarm Lite will do that w/o changing your phone's interface.
Is anyone able to automatically connect to a bluetooth device from your captivate? I am using a sony bluetooth receiver a2dp profile so it's basically functioning like a bluetooth headset.
Pairing works. Manually connecting works. But it would be great if the captivate automatically connected to the bluetooth receiver as soon as i turn on bluetooth. It takes almost five clicks to manually connect but only one to turn on bluetooth.

I have a similar problem in that the phone will sometimes "forget" the bluetooth devices that it has been paired with. I then have to do the pairing all over again.
I'm having the same problem - if I turn the phone off & back on again, it won't connect to my car. The bluetooth menu still shows that it's paired, but it won't connect (even if I try to manually connect). The only way to get it to connect again is to turn bluetooth off & back on - then it connects automatically.
Mine connects right away.
I think it is relate to not being able to set the bluetooth to always visable. My fuze had the same problem untill I put the energy rom on it.
I'm having the same trouble. I have to click on the Connect option which is buried in the Bluetooth menu. Annoying.
Are you using a task manager or some sort of helper to keep battery usage low? I found I was having a blue tooth problem until I saw a OPP service pop up on my task manager. Every time I killed apps I had blue tooth problems until I set this service to be ignored and left alone. Now even after I shut off the phone and turn it back on, I quickly connect to my blue tooth headset.
I'm just a noob here and I am thankful to everyone who posts who have helped me so i thought I's throw this out as something to check on.
Hi ppl,
I'm having issues with bluetooth on mytouch4g phone.
To connect it to hands free set I have to every time turn off and then turn on bluetooth on my phone.
Anyone have similar issue?
Is there a setting somewhere to set default device?
Thanks
Do you mean "Hands free mode" or do you mean pairing a stereo BT headset?
With the stock OS -- "Hands free mode" can be set by either 1) starting the Car Dock application, or 2) Using the BT headset phone button or the Genius button to enable speech commands, and saying "Hands Free On" once the phone is ready.
With the stock OS -- pairing of the phone occurs automatically whether the phone or headset is powered up first. Pairing of media (for stereo headsets) will only occur automatically with any degree of regularity -- from experimentation and observation by others, reported on forums like this -- if the phone's BT is powered up =after= the headset. One can manually disable and enable media connectivity after long pressing on the device in the BT settings window, and that will establish the media connection -- but it is probably easier to have a BT power toggle on your home page somewhere.
If neither of these answers the question you were asking, please rephrase it. And of course, for a custom ROM (non-stock OS), ask in the appropriate ROM's thread in the development subforum.
I mean bluetooth at car. I'm able to pair my phone with car and connect with no issues.
If I get into the car with my phone and bt on - it will not establish connection. I have to turn off bt on the phone and turn it back on. Then it will establish connection. It works fine with my old Fuze.

Im trying to set up the Profiles in CM11. I have created all of my profiles (work, home, car, out in public). They are setup as follows:
home profile
volume: 70%
trigger: connect to home WiFi
lock screen: insecure
work profile
volume: 20%
trigger: connect to work WiFi
lock screen: insecure
car profile
volume: 100%
trigger: connect to car Bluetooth
lock screen: insecure
out in public profile
volume: 100%
trigger: disconnect from WiFi, disconnect from Bluetooth
lock screen: PIN
The situation: When im at home on WiFi im on my "home" profile. When I get into my car to leave the bluetooth connects so the profile changes to "car" profile.
The problem: as i drive away from my house the WiFi disconnects, which triggers the "out in public" profile.
Is there a way to make the "out in public" profile trigger into an "and" vs "or" with the bluetooth & WiFi triggers? this way even though the WiFi disconnects it recognizes im still connected to the bluetooth and does not trigger the profile?
Thanks.
anyone?
there is only one profile active at once. so it's very simple: everytime you disconnect from your wifi, the public profile is triggered (regardless of other triggers). what if you just disable wifi, before you connect your one via bluetooth to your car? so the car profile would be triggered AFTER the wifi disconnection trigger and everything is fine.

Problem with that though is if I'm going to manually toggle the Wi-Fi i might as well just manually toggle the profile.
I'm not trying to run two profiles at once, the problem is that all the conditions are not being met for it automatically toggle.

triggers work as light switches: if you turn one on, the light goes on. no need to push every switch...
in your case that's annoying, but i'm sorry to say that there is no option to force more than one trigger to be triggered to activate the profile
maybe by using tasker app, but that's another caliber...
