Hi dancer,
what can i say ... it crashes as there are no paired devices on your device.

I apologize for this, forgot to try a case like this on my phone as its not possible to test on the simulator.

Anyway, i have uploaded the 1.3.1 so if you want to try it please downloading it again.

Yes, I changed my rom recently and I haven't pair my bluetooth.
I will try the new version.
Ευχαριστώ.

EDIT:
Works fine now.

Μιας και είναι ελληνική ή εφαρμογή, γιατί να μην είναι και στα ελληνικά?

Ευχαριστω για τα σχολια dancer.
Its a good suggestion to support other languages than englsh.

I am going to upload the xml file with the strings and anyone will be welcome to change it and match his/her mother language.

It appears to be working on Gingerbread, on my HD2.

This app will come in very handy, as GB on the HD2 has a 60mA idle drain with Bluetooth, and I use Bluetooth in my car, so this will help alot.

I will test it over the next day or 2 and report back.

Thanks for the work :)

Awesome App! Love the bluettoth features and how the flash will blink on an incomming call if turned over.

One request would be to have wifi turn off once no longer in range/connected for like 5 minutes.

TIA

Something kind of weird happened. I had my phone on vibrate, and when the call finally connected to the phone, the vibrate started and there was no light, and then when the light started, the vibrate stopped. Is there any ways to have both or is there a specific reason you chose one at a time?

Awesome feature though. Thanks for the hard work. Keep it up. :D

Wow, this is going to be great!

Just one question: in a screenshot on this site i saw "Turn off bluetooth if not connected to paired device", but I can't find it on the app. Is this feature missing or what?

Great work anyway!

:) really weird but to be honest i did not try this case.
Thanks for the comments, i will test it to figure a way to have both enabled as the intention was to add the flash functionality on top of any existing.

Well the purpose of this program is:
- Turn on the bluetooth when making/receiving a call
- Turn it off only if it was turned on due to the above statement.

So if the bluetooth was already on , then the program will not interfere with it and it will not turn it off.

So to test it, make sure that bt is off and then try making a call (it should turn bt on) then hang up (it should turn it off) assuming the relevant options are selected.

Thanks for the comment, the paired devices option will appear only if you have already paired BT devices before running the program.

Well, i've been testing it for the last day, and it works great - Well done.

Only thing for me, is my stereo doesn't connect fast enough to the Bluetooth for me to use the handsfree... But obviously, thats not a fault of this program, it's the stereo.

    Atrix here. Works good. I havent tried the bluetooth options but the wifi one is nice...i would have to agree with both of the suggestions on here about the wifi. Turn wifi off when not in range for about 5 mins and connect when in range and to turn wifi off when screen is off for about 1 min. Other than that the only thing is when i start it up on the atrix it stays on a black screen for about 5 seconds then everything pops up...doesnt bother me but might bother others.

    Hi StyleUkno ,
    i have added the option for the WIFI, please try it and let me now.

    As for the blank screen, this is caused as it tries to initialize the BT. I have changed it to show the relevant message.
