Bluetooth discoverability - Verizon HTC One (M8)

Quick question, has anyone noticed their phone is always discoverable if bluetooth is on? Am I missing a setting?

It's only discoverable when looking at the settings page. when you leave the settings it is no longer discoverable.

Anyone know how to get my Bluetooth to autoconnect, without manually connecting it?

Do you mean without bluetooth being on in the first place? Have you tried Tec-tiles? They're supposed to be able to do this I believe. In the car I use Car Home Ultra and have it automatically start and connect bluetooth when the phone is plugged into my Infuse car dock.
Well, I found a temporary "fix" that gives you other bonus goodies. Flash the new toggle mod in development. I did, and now it auto connects my BT in my car.
Not sure how or why

I'm just now starting to play with tasker and a couple other profiling apps.I can get them to all turn on my Bluetooth and with no autoconnect. OR when I just turn on my Bluetooth manually. I'll immediately get a pop up showing there is an available bt device. But no autoconnect. It's already paired. I just have to connect it. I just use a bt speaker -not in any of my vehicles.I've tried two different auto connect app's no luck.

Anyone figure out how to keep Wi-fi permanently off?

No matter if I turn it off I keep getting popup notifications about Wi-fi possibilities when in range, and eventually it will even turn itself back on automatically.
Go into wifi settings, advanced settings... turn off reminders.

WiFi and tether at the same time

Is it possible to turn my phone into a repeater? To have a wifi connection and tethering on?

I don't think so. Turning on the wifi hotspot disconnects you from wifi. I'm guessing its a limitation of today's radios.
It sounds like the same piece of hardware can only do one or the other not both.

no, its not possible, your last statement is right.
You can, however, tether internet via Bluetooth while being on WiFi, if the device you want to connect to the phone supports that.

Dimming screen trouble

My Gear 2 is automatically dimming itself to level 1. Any ideas why this is happening?

Obviously that would be fine and dandy, however it will keep the phone from sleeping if u just hide the notification...

Yes, I saw it yesterday afternoon. I have no idea what it is/was. The only reason I happened to see it was because I unlocked the phone to turn on WiFi. When I did that, the notification quickly went away. I just assumed that whatever it was trying to update did so with WiFi on. I'd like to know what it was though. I don't like the idea of the phone downloading things without approval.
Maybe an update for your keyboard dictionary? I use SwiftKey and get updates every once in a while. However, it states in the notification what it is so there isn't any doubt.
