I have one bt speaker this phone seems to auto connect with. I would like to pair with it, but manually when needed.
So far I have had to set up macrodroid with autotools to make it happen..so after the device is disconnected autotools disables the media and phone profile. Then I can manually connect each time.
There really should be an option in android to do this

You can set up a NFC Tag to turn on Bluetooth when you need it and turn it off manually when you want to but other than that I don't know.
yes, thats another option.
Looks like ill have to keep using my settings I used on my previous phone. Enable\disable bt with screen on, and enable bt when wireless charging is connected in the car holder.

I am trying to find a bluetooth app that will allow me to set a "default / always connect automatically" bluetooth device.
I am looking for this functionality:
- When the phone detects my car's bluetooth is in range, and it's not connected to anything else, it'll connect.
- If I turn on another bluetooth device such as my headset, it'll automatically disconnect from my car and connect to my headset
- When I turn off my headset, it'll automatically reconnect back to my car.
Currently my phone will not do this. I must manually connect/disconnect everything. Any ideas?
Takes some getting used to, but you should try an app called 'Tasker' It's kind of expensive but if you go to the devs website I think you can use it for free for like a week or so to see how it works out for ya
tasker is expensive but worth more than every cent. you can pretty much set it up ot automate anything
Just created this thread to find out what kind of car setups do you guys have with your Galaxy Nexus?
I just created mine using NFC, BT and Tasker to send all music and calls to car stereo when I enter the car, read out sms while driving, turn up backlight during daytime etc and then go back to previous state when I exit.
Details here: My Android NFC BT Car Audio Setup
What have you done to pimp up your car with your beloved GN?
I have a 3.5mm audio in jack for aux, I purchased a XtremeMac InCharge BT for wireless music. No special "read text aloud" apps or anything, I just try not to text in the car.

I have a Parrot MKI9200. I get in the car, it connects and I drive off. No point in turning BT off (very low power in standby) and you can do the other stuff with a BT on-connect event in Tasker. Don't generally bother, TBH. Lazy, me

Interesting. Right now I just keep Bluetooth on always, and then manually open the Pandora app (for music) when I'm in the car (built-in BT stereo). Leaving the car, it turns off automatically. Eventually I'm going to set up Delayed Lock to turn off lock screen while connected to BT.

I wanted to go that route too earlier but I connect to other BT devices as well through the day . Hope Tasker adds rules for specific devices soon.

Do try out tasker along with secure settings plugin. You will pay just a little bit more but acquire this and lot more functionality.
I'm using a Kinivo BTC8 bluetooth to fm
With the OEM car dock.
NFC key-chain and NFC Task Launcher to change my settings
Works great for music, calls, navigation, etc

Doesn't Tasker already do this? When I select a context for "Bluetooth Connected," it opens a dialog where I can choose the name or address of the Bluetooth advice from a list of devices I've paired with. I choose to pair with my Parrot device, and it's always worked for me.
I should admit that I very rarely pair with any other device, so I might not notice whether Tasker is only responding to the fact of the Bluetooth connection, rather than the specific device. But if that's the case, why provide an option for you to select the specific device?

Ah thanks for letting me know about this. I had tried this very long back when Tasker had just been released and didn't think of seeing again if it had been changed. Will try this.
Is there anyway of disabling Throw and just using a set of Bluetooth headphones with the Bluetooth set-up alone?
Pairing my LG headphones through the conventional Bluetooth settings works perfectly, re-establishing a paired connection every time. Then Throw kicks in and wants to establish a new connection, which invariably messes things up.
I've tried starting the pairing process from scratch with Throw, but when using the headphones subsequently, it occasionally fails to make an auto connection when I turn the headphones on.

Hi,
I want to keep BT enabled on my SGS7 but also I no need to have watch connected all the time (annoying notifications). For example, I am at home and I need BT to control light in room but I no need phone to be connected with Huawei watch. How to disconnect watch (temporary) but keep BT enabled?
P.S I don't want to unpair watch because I need to quick connect after I leave house (manualy).
I used to use Secure Settings in a Tasker profile to disconnect my watch while on a phone call and reconnect when the call was over. You could probably do the same thing based on your location (at home or away).

My focus isn't automatic switching, but keeping BT enabled while watch is disconnected. I want to manualy connect/disconnect watch. There must be native option for that, but I can't find.
Now it works like this:
I enable BT on my phone -> Huawei watch connect to phone automaticly.
And I want:
I enable BT on phone -> watch stay disconnected. I manualy connect watch with phone when I need, and disconnect when I no need watch anymore. So I can use phone BT to do other things.
I've never done it, but Tasker can create a widget that would let you run the toggle profile manually.

Android Wear app on phone.
Gear symbol upper right
Touch :"HUAWEI WATCH connected"
Toggle "Connected" slider off
That leave phone BT on and does not require repairing watch, just slide it back on and the watch reconnects.

Hi All,
SO, I like to use Android Auto directly on my phone as my car stereo doesn't support it. I've set Android Auto to start automatically when connected to the car's bluetooth. Smartlock is also set to unlock the device when it detects the car's bluetooth.
IT DOESN'T WORK. My screen still stays locked when Android Auto starts, and I have to manually unlock it just so I can see it.
I figure I'm either missing a setting or the software is working as designed (ie...buggy).
Thanks in advance.
