Default [MOD REQ.] Auto BT on/off in Car Home

I'm not sure if there is anything out there that will do this, or if its even possible....

I was wondering if someone could make it so that when you open the "Car Home" it automatically turns on Bluetooth and when you exit it turns it off...looking to this to be applied to Car Home from Froyo...or maybe enable one of the extra buttons in car home as a bluetooth toggle... but automatic would definitly be first choice






grr forgot to put what my "[MOD REQ.]" was in the title....if a moderator could please update this for me to "[MOD REQ.] Auto BT on/off in Car Home"...kthx

Search for DockCarSwitches in the Market. It does this when you put your phone in the dock, and does it well.

Default Re: [MOD REQ.] Auto BT on/off in Car Home

Thanks for the advice, that would work, but I don't use the Google dock, hence why I'm looking for something to turn it on when car home is opened

Tasker (beta, not yet on the market, but at http://tasker.dinglisch.net/) can do that (and many other nice things).

Keep in mind that right now, when you plug in your phone to the dock it automatically turns on Bluetooth, you don't need to manually do it and you don't need an app to do it. Dock must be connected to a power source for this to happen.
Phone 1: Nexus One (T-Mobile USA)
ROM: CM 7 - KANG
Recovery:4ext Touch Recovery
Phone 2: Samsung Galaxy S II - (T-Mobile USA)
ROM: [ICS] :: DARKSIDE.EVOLUTION ::
Recovery: Clockwork Recovery

As I previously stated I do not have the Google Dock, I got tired of waiting for it so i bought a nexus mount and usb charger...like it better than dock anyhow, friend has dock, i find it annoying

hmm...it installed and i can set up actions and stuff....but it doesnt work...sad...it looked perfect too...guess ill wait for non beta one

**EDIT** Ok so apparently Tasker doesnt see any change when you "run" Car Home....so it doesnt toggle on / off...however i just setup BT to auto toggle on when power is plugged in and BT to toggle off when not plugged in, this is fine for me since the only time i use BT is when its plugged into my car charger... YAY!! set and forget is now active!! thanks again for this app suggestion, I will def pay these guys once it goes live
