Ive been trying to figure this out for a while. Recently playing with a friends DX he had juicedefender pro installed. Within JDP there is a setting that JDP will periodically scan to see if it is connected to a certain BT device if not then it keeps BT off.
What Im looking for is a profile for either tasker or autoit that will let me do that. I want to be able to have it auto connect to my H/U in my vehicle and once it doesnt see the signal anymore turn off BT.
Thanks in advance. Before somebody says search...I have posted for help in the tasker forums, here, and two other forums for help. I figure with teh knowledge here somebody will know where to point me.

Hi everyone,
I've been using World-Offline for some time now - people refer to it as a much better version of AvantGo - and am pretty happy with it. Although, I always need to manually schedule my syncs in the morning.
So, I was wondering. O2 Plus allows me to schedule Bluetooth on/off at a specific time, but unfortunately I cant let it connect to WiFi automatically. This would be really cool to do the following:
06:25AM: WiFi ON
06:30AM: World-Offline syncs data with max of 30mins sync time
07:05AM: WiFi OFF
08:30AM+: I read the latest news/websites on my phone on my way to work
Actually, I wake up later than that, but hey, thats besides the topic
So, my question is: Does anyone know of a WiFi scheduler that I could use to do the above? Thanks so much for any suggestions!
Regards,
Mask2011
Nobody a clue on this one? Would be really cool if there's some tool that can just switch on and off wireless access at a specific schedule..
I know this app is out there somewhere, but I'm unable to come up with the right search terms and I'm hoping that someone reading this thread will know what i'm talking about. So here goes:
I need a program that basically acts as a scheduler for which services will be turned on and off.
For instance, If I know that i walk to work between 7:30 - 8:00am, I'd like Bluetooth=On, Wifi=Off, Phone=On, etc. Once I get to work between 8 and 5, I might want this program to turn the bluetooth off, turn 3G data off, etc, but then once I get home turn wifi On, Bluetooth back on, etc etc. You get the idea. Basically a program that I schedule when certain connections should be available, which is really just a way to conserve maximum battery power. I saw a program that did exactly this during the waiting for the fuze to come out, but I must have forgotten to bookmark that page.
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Hi,
You could try Communication Manager Pro (shareware). It can be found here http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Enhancements/Communication-Manager-Pro-CommMgrPro-37327.shtml
I tried the previous version 2.3 and it had some issues with randomly disconnecting bluetooth so for me it wasn't a keeper. Maybe current version has this bug ironed out.

Check out SPB Phone Suite, it has a lot of scheduling features for com and sound settings
I use SPB Phone Suite, and it works as a dream.
You can also set a profile that is linked to your calendar, so you can make the phone silent when in a meeting.
It also support hardware-triggers, like turning on a profile when charging, another when headset is connected and so on.
Thanks for the replies gents. I think SQB might have been the one I'm thinking of. If there are others people use, keep them coming. If there's a free tool that will do this, even better, but i suppose $20 might be reasonable depending on what else the software does. I'll check it out.
There is a free tool: WirelessTime.

Hello everyone,
Forgive me if this has already been asked, but after searching and searching thoroughly I was unable to find a solution.
I have the T Mobile HTC HD2, the phone is better than any iPhone I ever owned. (Just had to get that out... )
I have a question concerning the HTC CM Wifi Internet Sharing. I installed the app, ran it without any issues. The signal was picked up by one of my laptops. I was able to connect and surf the web over 3G, pretty quick I must say...
The issue I am having is, since connecting that one time, I have not been able to see the phone as a router since. When I run the app and choose T-Mobile data, the 3G pops up. The wireless antenna icon pops up and the app says it is ready to receive incoming connections. BUT, I am unable to see this from any of my wireless devices.
My questions are, is there any specific procedure to get this to run correct? Do I have to disable wireless on the HD2? Is there some WinMo 6.5 firewall running? I know others have experienced this, but I am unable to track down a solution.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
mcv50
Are you running the app through Settings-All Settings-Connections-Wifi Internet Sharing? Or running the WifiRouter app?

I am running the app through Settings-All Settings-Connections-Wifi Internet Sharing
After i installed the cab, this is the only place I could find a way to launch the app.
Why is there another way?
I downloaded a random wifi sharing app and had the same problem, then found XDA-Tom_Codom CM Wifi Internet Sharing VGA. Worked like a charm. I would uninstall and try that one.
SxyCupcake, thanks for the suggestion.
I uninstalled, then installed the XDA-Tom_Codon CM Wifi Internet Sharing VGA.cab you suggested. I get the same result. I am rebooting right now to see if that may help...
After rebooting, I get the same thing. It almost seems like something is blocking the WiFi Transmit antenna signal or maybe it is not activating correctly... Might be a registry setting or something.
I may have fudged up some setting using BsB Tweaks or XT Hack Beta2... I might wind up just doing a complete restore and start from scratch.
Still doesn't work. I will check back often and post a solution if I figure it out.
Thank you,

Q: My PC or Laptop is not seeing the SSID.
A: For the people having trouble seeing the network, make sure your pc displays adhoc connections and not just access points.
Now it is working...
Moved as not software release.
Hi
I've looked some time now for an app like this, no luck.
So what I'm looking for is an app that:
* Turns wifi OFF when the phone has been idle/locked for 0-x minutes.
* On a schedule, turns the wifi ON for x minutes thereby letting it sync apps like email, then turning the wifi back OFF again.
I'm thinking this could have several uses, one beeing having the wifi "constantly turned on" without concerning yourself with the battery drain. It would let apps/functions like email, calendar and instant messengers sync on interval.
I know there are several apps that handle wifi scheduling in different ways but i've found none that can do the above...
Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry I don't know how to actually use it, but this application should be relevant for what you are looking for.
if your rom support crontab, its possible to write a script to implement it.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

Thanks. I downloaded trial and tried it. I couldn't figure out how to "program" the program to get it to work as described in my initial post.
Though that might be a Q for the Tasker "forum".
I'm a little surprised that there is no simple app for this function already out there. Seems to me it could save a lot of battery for some people.
Go to Setings - Wi-Fi setings - press menu-additional...(set up)......ready to go....!

Tasker can very easily schedule a wifi toggle (every x minutes or hours). It would be slightly more complicated to complete your second desired function, but with a little help from their forums, I'm sure it would be possible.
Hey, All.
Just trying to set up my Nexus 7 in my car and would like to have my phone enable the WiFi hotspot when it connects to the car's bluetooth. I can't seem to find a tasker plugin that is applicable, nor do I know how to write one from scratch.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
Also, while I am at it, I am looking to have the Nexus enable car mode when it connects to my phone's WiFi. Assuming another tasker item, but again, not sure how to accomplish.
Thanks ahead of time for everyone's input.

One heard about this IFTTT that enables android services in special conditions, are you looking for something like this?
Ciuffy's SM-G900F CM 12.1 spirit hath marked this way.

I'll give that a shot. I remember trying that for something else in the past, it may be what I am looking for. (had forgotten about it). There is an app called AutoTether, but apparently it stopped working with 5.0.

No luck with IFTTT; it will only allow specific actions based on connecting, I can't make the phone change a setting, only do something like change my thermostat, or post to pintrest, etc.
Looks like I am still looking for Tasker help.
I have this in my car, have had it for a while now. Here's what I've done, choose which one that works for you:
In Tasker without any other app required, set your Car Mode profile to trigger a new task and you can group whatever else you want into it, but you're looking for Net ==> WiFi Tether ==> On
In Tasker with Secure Settings, do the same thing above but instead of Net, choose Plugins ==> Secure Settings ==> Configuration Edit Pencil ==> Actions ==>Wifi Hotspot ==> On
With each of those, set an exit task to do the opposites. Interestingly enough, all my Samsung devices worked just fine with either of those commands, but my Moto X Pure Edition did not like Secure Settings trying to get the hotspot activated and sent toast error messages. You can find one of those that will work, even if it doesn't work the first time - for example, neither worked with my MXPE at first, but with a reboot or some other magic going on, I got the first one with Tasker only to work and not give any error messages.
Now for the real fun, I've got it where my N7 turns on the screen, unlocks, and then goes into Car Home Ultra without touching it at all, just based on the connection to my phone's wifi hotspot! My phone knows to start the wifi hotspot when connected to my car's Bluetooth, and also starts playing Google Play Music without any interaction on my part as well. That's a little more advanced though, so start with this and let me know if you'd like me to keep helping with that, just let me know. Some people won't need the N7 to turn on the screen and unlock when connected to the hotspot, they would just have it run screen on while charging, but my N7 is semi-permanently mounted in my car, has been through my last 3 cars, and I keep it plugged in all the time to a hot cable, always charging the device, not just when the car is in the on position....
Good luck, hope I've helped!
