Is there a way for this? I hate to start the process:
1. go to bluetooth manager
2. connect to activesync shortcut
I am currently using a profile manager, phonealarm, wherein when I put it to home mode, I have my bluetooth activated. I would like to have it connected to the pc using bt as well, without much intervention. Any suggestions?
Hi,
I wonder if anyone has encounter this issue with WM6.1:
The Comm Manager has no option to set a default for the defined Wireless Server.
Say if there are 3 "defined" profiles for wireless server available (Wifi detection), at home or as work for example, the device will connect to one of them, but we cannot set a default one.
There is no-way to set a "don't-detect this server anymore" either, so delete it will make it reappears after wifi detection.
So has anyone found a way, in WM6.1, to set a default Wireless server to connect the WIFI to, when there are several Wireless Access Points available ?
Say if I have several wireless modems all running, and I all setup a profile for each.
How do you set a Default ?
Thanks very much.
First of all, I take no credit for this other than just testing it and seeing it works out of the box on the A100. I've tested the below instructions with my rooted A100 and moto Atrix running cm7 and it works pretty well. Your A100 must be rooted for this to work and your phone your connection to has to support Bluetooth PAN (any phone running cm7 should work).
Here's what I did to get a working PAN connection:
- Be sure Bluetooth is enabled on both the A100 and your device you wish to share your network connection with. (Found under Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Bluetooth)
- Pair the two devices
- Install the Nook Color Bluetooth Tether app from the market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=earlmagnus.nctether
- Run the app to be sure that your paired device shows up (if it doesn't something didn't go right with the pairing)
- Go back to your home screen and add a new widget (Click the plus sign in the upper right corner of your home screen) Look for the NC Tether widget and add it to your home screen.
To start the PAN connection just tap the Tether Widget the light on the widget will first be yellow then turn green once the connection is successful. One thing I did notice is that if you access apps that use the internet, using the PAN connection not all apps recognize the PAN connection as internet enabled (nothing we can do about this its something that the developer of the app would need to work out). Internet via PAN does work though, the browser will say no Internet Connection Dectected, but will still work just fine. I was able to use IMO for messaging and other apps with no problem.
Have fun and hope this helps others work around the lack of PAN support in honeycomb.

The Nook Color Bluetooth tether app does not work properly on Honeycomb. There is a development thread here. This is the app that I used on my Nook Color and it worked great on Gingerbread.
So far with Honeycomb even though the connection starts and is functional when you want to turn off tethering the widget stays green and the link stays open until bluetooth is disabled. Even then the widget stays green.
I have a script that I have been using on honeycomb to start the tethering and to end it. I launch it with gscript from the market.
To start the link I have this script.
pand --connect XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
sleep 3
dhcpcd bnep0
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
To end the link I have this script.
ifconfig bnep0 down
My progress so far with honeycomb, I have the Acer 3.2.1 rom and the Xoom rom extracted and have been doing a diff on the files dealing with bluetooth. I have copied the xoom bluetooth.apk and bluetooth configuration files to the a100 in an effort to enable the tether profile under device profiles wrench icon. These attempts have proved fruitless. I do not know enough about Android structure to know how the menus are setup and how to add menu items. From what I have read the native bluetooth connection allows for the ConnectivityService to see the connection therefore all of the "network" apps see it as a valid connection unlike pand. Pand is what the nook tether app used for the connection. The thing that I need is for VPN to work and it will not work under pand.
Your right, the nc tether app does have an issue on honeycomb, but it does work. To terminate the pan connection using this app you can tap the widget again and then force close the app. I have mine set so that if my screen turns off it closes the app automatically. You can also reboot and the widget will reset.
I don't have a xoom or any other honeycomb device other than this one to compare but I think its more than just as simple as a missing menu entry. Ill have to see where the bluetooth profiles are stored, I'm more familiar with the way cm7 works but it might be something missing in the kernel for this device that is causing this to happen.
Edit:
Ok, looks like the profile option is missing from the rom itself, you'd have to add the option in before compiling the source for the rom..
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
got it to work. im running a CM7 GS2att and i was able to get internet access on my a100 via bluetooth.
just to clear up, you install Nook Color Bluetooth Tether ON THE TABLET.
i tried a few times, but it didnt start working until i rebooted the a100. i don't get the "No Connection" when i try to browse but Browser does act a bit weird (generally won't load if i click a link on the page im on).
Opera Mini works like titties tho, haven't tried anything else. Market works as well. Thank you very much! If i can help somehow, let me know.
Hello,
i installed tasker to test some automatic routines.
But i have a problem with my wifi when tasker is active.
All 1-5 minutes my wifi disconnect and connect again, when i disable tasker all is fine and my wifi is stable connected.
I have no profile or task with anything of wifi in tasker.
The only tasks and profile that i have active is for bluetooth only and my car system.
Is there a option to fix this or is it a problem with the gnex?
My rom is 4.4.4_r1 [KTU84P] TREX and tasker is version 4.3u4.
edit:
I found the solution.
BT Near does regular Wifi Scans and will activate when it recognizes a device you have configured is nearby.

Lately I've had a need to switch what bluetooth device I'm connected to pretty often and was wondering if there was a way to use Zooper (possibly with Tasker) to create a widget that would show all my bluetooth profiles and then connect or disconnect to each one by tapping them? Getting tired of going through Settings -> Bluetooth etc to change
