[REQ] Car Kit scanner

Hi guys,
I didnt find such a app so i figured to ask.
I need a app that will scan for bluetooth devices.
In one work i need a app that when i go into my car it will automatically connect to my bluetooth car. So my best guess is that it will need tp scan for bluetooth devices every x mins ?!

You can search for bluetooth devices (such as carkits) by going to settings->more->bluetooth.
Once paired with a device, the next time it will pair automatically. No special app needed.

yes, i know that, but the bluetooth needs to be enabled all the time in order to do that.
I need one app that will just enable the bluetooth when it detects the car kit

Yes, but u have the bluetooth on rite ?

Well the HTC official car kit can be configured to auto start bluetooth when it is attached. Depends whether you want to spend all that money. Why not just install a bluetooth toggle app and place a link in the quick links. Doesnt take 10 seconds to switch it on when you get in the car.

i agree wit you, i already have that, but u didnt consider the "forget to turn on" factor

how about a "post-it" in the middle of the steering wheel saying "turn on bluetooth" there is no way of auto turning on bluetooth when your in your car because the phone has no idea where you are. you will have to leave it on all the time unless you buy the car kit or remember to turn it on when u get in.

there's no way to programmatically detect carkit w/o turning on the bluetooth, and if you are determined to do so, the only way is to turn on bluetooth and poll for carkit , and then turn off the bluetooth again, and then you repeat it at regular interval.
however such method is silly because (1) it doesn't necessary help to improve the battery life of your device (assuming that's the reason why you want to turn off bluetooth until you are in the car), (2) unless you poll every other second, you will not have your HD2 connect to your carkit immediately, which is the case if you've left bluetooth on in your HD2 all the while (well almost).
The best option for you is to download app like g-profile, create a profile that turns on bluetooth when you plug in your hd2 to your car power supply. As this is event driven, so you will not have the problem described above (except that you will have bluetooth turn on each time your hd2 is connected to a power source)

If you have a car charger and always use it, download bluetooth power manager, it will turn bluetooth on when the charger is connected and off when you unplug, it's the best your gonna get.

[Q] Bluetooth Question

So I am running Vegan 5.1(Which I love), and I just got a new Bluetooth headset which I tried to connect to my tablet so i can play music to my headset during class, however to connect you need to set up with a "0000" pin, which my tablet never asks for. It just says "paired, not connected" and will never connect cause it cant without sending the security pin, is there a way to enable this in vegan 5.1?

Well it depends on the bluetooth you bought because some don't need the pairing code if your in pairing mode hopefully it is A2DP compatible because that's the only way to get music to the headset

My motorola s9 headset said paired but not connected then I long pressed it and I got some other options including connect. The next time it paired automatically but my tab is crashing (and it did) so the very next time after that I had to actually type the pair key 0000 after the long press.
I need to wipe and reinstall everything but I am just waiting till it is totally unusable.

I've done long press and i only have 3 options: Connect, Unpair, Options. Options just has Connect and use device for audio options, but neither let teh device connect nor give the option to enter the pin. Any ideas?

I am running vegan mod, so when you click connect it doesn't? That seems odd... removed dumb question.

I realize this thread is a couple of weeks old but I am having a similar problem and wondered if you ever figured it out.
I am able to connect to my headset and use it to listen. However I have a Creative D100 bluetooth speaker that won't work. It will connect but as soon as I close settings and then start playing music or videos it drops the connection.

or you can use supermono pro
it sends any sound through bluetooth.
i use it for my music and pandora on my phone.
unfortunely my headset wont connect either. what i did to get it to connect is this:
make discoverable
unpair
long press on device and press connect and pair
i can get the pin this way but mine still wont connect. just paired ;(

It is an A2DP speaker. Works great with my Iphone but would love to be able to use it with my gtab for watching Netflix and Hulu through Playon.
It connects fine the connection indicator on the speaker even comes on but as soon as I try to play any type of media the connection drops.

Figured it out. It works fine if I am connected via wifi. If I'm tethered to my phones ad hoc network The bluetooth speaker drops the connection. Guess bluetooth doesn't like ad hoc networks

[TUTORIAL] How to use Gear 2 (Neo) in harmony with other Bluetooth devices

When I bought Gear 2 Neo a week and a half ago, I immediately faced the following issue: how the hell I keep using my Bluetooth earpiece for conducting phone calls? As cool as it looks talking to the Gear, it's not as convenient as wearing an earpiece, and I've been using those for the last 12 years. This new annoyance combined with an old one: when I'm in the car, I want my phone to automatically switch to the car in-built Bluetooth audio, both for phone calls and for media. I don't want to do this manually! And now, with the Gear, just think of the possibility of talking to the watch while driving the car!
Now, the Samsung phone owners have the luxury of being able to switch to the earpiece after picking up the call on the Gear. Not ideal, but workable. Still puzzles me though if you're able to choose a specific Bluetooth phone audio device if you have more than one (e.g. as with the earpiece and the car example). But we, the non-Samsung owners, don't even have this option. So finding a solution was due!
So, here are my use cases:
When I'm not in the car, I'd like the phone to be connected to the Gear all the time while not in the call. This makes sure I get all the notifications etc.
When not in the car and I'm engaged in a call, I'd like Bluetooth phone audio to switch to my earpiece as soon as possible. This automatically disconnects the Gear, meaning I'm no longer able to receive notifications on it. But this is not an issue, as, when I'm on the phone, I prefer not to be distracted anyway. At the end of the call I want Bluetooth audio to reconnect back to the Gear.
When I'm in the car, I'd like my phone to connect to the built-in Bluetooth phone and audio. I would like to stay it like this for as long as my car audio system is on. This means I won't receive any notifications on the Gear, but I reckon this is rather good while driving. When my car audio is off, I'd like the phone to automatically reconnect back to the Gear.
There are two pieces of software that helped me with achieving this:
Tasker. It's not free, but is worth every cent you spend on it. What's more, you can download a 7-day free trial to play with this guide before you commit to buying it.
Secure settings. All the functionality you need for this guide is included in the free version.
My triggers are:
Phone ringing or off hook and not in the car: connect to the earpiece
Phone idle and not in the car: connect to the Gear
Car application is launched (happens automatically when I plug my HTC One M8 into its car holder): toggle car mode on, which, in turn, connects to the car Bluetooth
Power disconnected (which is what happens when I turn car engine off or pull the phone from the car holder) and the car mode was on: toggle car mode off
Car mode switched off: connect to the Gear
Device boot: connect to the Gear
Now, you can import the attached file into Tasker on your phone and give it a go. You will need to go and replace the device MAC addresses and names with YOUR devices first (in Secure Settings configuration for each and every relevant task).
If you don't have in-car Bluetooth, just disable the corresponding profiles.
Now, there are some things that need improvement:
Right now I can't answer the calls on the Gear even if I want (e.g. if I forgot my earpiece at home or if it's out of battery). The reason for this is the way Secure Settings plugin performs BT Connect action: it disconnects the currently connected device first and only then tries connecting the other device. Also, there is no way to figure out if this connection was successful or not. I'm thinking of implementing a special toggle that will disable automatic earpiece connection on user request.
One scenario that is not properly implemented yet is switching from in-car BT to the earpiece while in the call (e.g. when you arrive at your destination while talking on the phone and want to live the car without disconnecting the call). Right now this requires manual intervention.
Unfortunately, Bluetooth connectivity of many devices is still quite buggy. I often find that, despite the fact the phone shows it's connected to the device, the audio is not going through. Or the device doesn't think it's connected (both happen quite often with my in-car BT). Usually, what helps in this situations is resetting Bluetooth on the phone or on the device or on both. I'm thinking of adding BT off/on action before any device switch just to improve reliability. However, sometimes the device needs to be reset, which may be easy (e.g. turning the earpiece off and on) or not (you can't turn the in-car BT off without stopping the engine).
That's all for now. Feedback is appreciated!

Great add thank you!

I'm having difficulty opening your file below. Do you open it using tasked, open via file explorer and edit or open via service manager. I also have the m8 and appreciate all the work you've done. I'm fairly new to tasked so figured it would be easier to change your file and then load it.

I have appradio 2. Is there a way to modify this to always disconnect the gear and connect the car radio when I plug in USB from the radio?

You can also accomplish all this with LLama profiles which is a free application

I ended up making my own. Was better as now I have some working knowledge of tasker and secure settings. I dont have Bluetooth in my car so was a little easier.
One thing I did add was a 5 second wait/delay so I can still look at who is calling on the watch, decide if i want to answer or reject from the watch and then if I do answer it automatically disconnects the Gear and allows you to talk through the phone or earpiece.
Thats my only addition as it maintains some function of the watch to allow screening of calls without pulling phone from pocket.

There is a bluetooth setting if you'll only use it for media or phone calls or both )
Just sayin

because instead of disconnecting and reconnecting your watch you can leave it on and choose another device for voice calls and or notifications

The problem is the phone can have only one device connected to it using phone headset profile and it won't use any other profile (e.g. multimedia) for making calls.

Thanks ! Help me alot!

I need some resolve to me after the call is automatically disconnected BT Handset Gear2 but have remained constantly connected. Do with Timo anyone have experience? Thank you.

I solved this by using an nfc tag as a switcher! I bought an Nfc tag for just 25cents and I wrote on it with the free app Trigger... When I get in the car I swipe the phone on the nfc tag and it connects to the car BT and when I swipe the phone again it switches back to the gear!

[EDIT]
Hi,
I'm trying with Llama, can you give me some help?
I add a new condition "ringing", but I don't understand the related action. Per my understanding I need to disconnect the GEAR, but I cannot find the specific action.
Ok, I understand that is needed Secure Setttings, but I still not able to do what I need: when the action is executed, I need to disconnect gear...
Ok, now everything is OK.
Just to clarify for who is not able to import che xml for Tasker or just want to use Llama that is free.
It is necessary to install "Secure Settings" and to create a Local Plugin Action, involving Secure Settings.
In Secure Settings, selecting the BT connect/disconnect action, it is possible to select from a list of paired device on which of them perform the "connect/disconnect" action
Thanks a lot.

[Q] Bluetooth doesn't auto connect

Guys, I have a BT device in my car that is connected to my car audio system. I've set up my nexus 5 to connect to it, and it works great, but there is one flaw - the phone won't auto connect to it when I turn it on, I will have to turn BT off and back on on my phone for it to discover the car BT and then it will immediately connect to it. *I always leave the BT on on my nexus5 in hopes that it will auto connect but in never does, only auto connected about 4 times out of the dozens of times iv'e used it. any ideas?

I don't know if this is a flaw with your Bluetooth device or your phone. I have some devices that auto-connect and some that don't. I doubt you car BT device will have many options (if any) but maybe check and see (if you haven't already) if it has an auto-connect option or something along those lines.
Do you have any other BT devices you can test connecting and disconnecting to/from like you would your car? Eliminate if it's the stereo or your phone. You could also using something like Tasker and create a profile to do what you want. Just a thought.
Hope this helps.

It's most likely the fault of your cars Bluetooth system. Some just don't reliably autoconnect. Try a kinivo bt module 40 bucks on Amazon, works perfectly.

Hey buddy, thanks for the thoughtful reply, I'll try and see if I can find another BT device to test my phone with. One thing I did test today, that I don't do every day, is to turn my phone BT off and back on BEFORE turning on the BT device I have in my car, then I turned the device on, and it connected immediately.. This shows its more likely to be a fault with the phone..

I'll try and find it on ebay, Amazon does ship to my country but for some reason the shipping cost is the same or sometimes more than the item itself..

my BT device connects to phone on power up, e.g. when start car

Well, today it auto connected, I got in my car with my son, and didn't have a chance to unlock the phone to check if it connected to the BT, but when I checked, about 20 minutes after getting in my car, the BT was connected. this got me thinking maybe there's a connection delay, when I'll leave work today I'll see if it'll connect on it's own after leaving it alone.

I use PlayerPro to autostart playing when bluetooth is connected. It's better than PowerAmp.

Mine won't auto connect to bluetooth until I've gotten far enough from my house that my phone disconnects from WiFi. Maybe this was what you experienced too? I'm unsure.

HOW TO: Automatically connect your phone audio to your car and then back to your wat

I was searching for this solution for some time, which was buried in a 13 page thread on the subject. Taken from this page (https://www.reddit.com/r/hwatch/com...ooth_headset_profile/?st=j6ocsof4&sh=983466ba), this has worked 100% of the time for me. It only took about 5 minutes to program in my bed--without having any previous knowledge of Automagic. I was initially deterred because of its reference to Tasker but I did find it easier than Tasker--which I still don't use or really like. Here is a copy/paste from the thread w/ a few tweaks that had me confused.
Since we got the Marshmallow update, I've had the issue where if I'm connected to my cars bluetooth speaker when I make a call or it comes in, would go to my watch. Workaround was having to remove the call audio from the watch and then switch it back on, pretty annoying. I tried using Tasker as a previous person made a post about it but couldn't get it working. Using Automagic, I got it working!
This is basically like Tasker but easier to use and not to mention I couldn't get Tasker working. The app costs $3.90 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.gridvision.ppam.androidautomagic&hl=en
You can download a free trial via their website http://automagic4android.com/en/evaluation
I got it working with 2 flows (Flow = profile). If you install the free trial, you can only use 3 flows at a time so when I installed the trial I deleted all the flows it came with. Basically what this does is whenever I connect to my car's BT it will disconnect the headset profile from my Huawei Watch and connect to my car BT headset profile. So when I make or receive a call, it'll go to my cars BT and not my watch. The watch still remains connected but just not the headset portion. When I disconnect from my cars BT connection it will reconnect the headset profile to my watch.
Create a new flow. I named it "Car BT connection".
Add a new trigger and choose "Bluetooth Device Connected"
-- To do this, click on the menu button, select new flow, click on the box, select the five lines, click on blue new at bottom, then select bluetooth device connected.
Click on specific device and choose your BT headset (In my case, I chose my cars BT)
-- After clicking on specific device, click on the three dots to the right of the space under bluetooth device addreses. If, like me, you may have two Ford Syncs listed (two Ford vehicles), you can figure out which is which by going to your phone's settings --> bluetooth --> gear icon --> delete the name of the device and select OK. This will then show the MAC address of that device. To figure out which one is which, do this while connected to vehicle and choose the one that says connected.
Click save
Click the plus icon and choose action
Select new and choose "Connect/Disconnect Bluetooth Device"
Bluetooth profile should be set to "Headset"
Bluetooth Device Address: Select your Huawei Watch
Choose "Disconnect" under Connect or Disconnect
Click Save
Click the plus icon and choose action
Select new and choose "Connect/Disconnect Bluetooth Device"
Bluetooth profile should be set to "Headset"
Bluetooth Device Address is your BT headset device (I chose my car)
Choose "Connect" under Connect or Disconnect
Click Save
Should look like this: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1J8Oay2yaZwb05WNzE2cVBRa1k
Click back arrow and create a new flow. I named mines "Car BT Disconnect"
Add a new trigger and choose "Bluetooth Device Disconnected"
Click on specific device and choose your BT headset (In my case, I chose my cars BT)
Click save
Click the plus icon and choose action
Select new and choose "Connect/Disconnect Bluetooth Device"
Bluetooth profile should be set to "Headset"
Bluetooth Device Address: Select your Huawei Watch
Choose "Connect" under Connect or Disconnect

Hello:
I'm sorry to answer this thread after so long, but I bought the Huawei Watch 2 to use it to make calls with voice (via "ok google"), since my car bt does not carry.
I have done everything you say, but unfortunately, it does not work automatically. Manually executing the two flow, it works, but by itself it does not. Should we do more?
Thank you very much for this tutorial

I actually just turned my watch off from answering calls; however, no. You shouldn't have to do any more. It worked perfectly as described above. Not sure if something has changed since I posted. Sorry.
