Bluetooth Tethering Toggle

myspac · Dec 9, 2013

Hi guys,

I just develop (my first android dev) the free app "Bluetooth Tethering Toggle" to be able to switch on/off the internet tethering bluetooth connection without to use the bluetooth settings each time. It works with the fOmey rom and others android platforms > 4.0.3, no root needed.

This application works only if tethering already works before and if the devices are paired.

Hope it will be usefull...

[Many thanks to fOmey for his great job and rom]

You not need to install it on your phone, just on your gear (if you want to use internet with the gear over your phone by tethering.)
After install it on your Gear, add the widget on your gear and toggle it.

Sorry, I was thinking that your widget works for both devices, now I've understood! Anyway I've found another widget to toggle BT tethering from phone (without go into settings but directly from the homescreen)! Thanks a lot!

(and sorry for my English...)

hi,

If you want to connect your Gear watch to internet over your phone, you must install the app on the watch gear only and add the widget "Bluetooth Tethering Toggle" on the desktop of your Gear.

it's the same when you go into the bluetooth settings of your Gear Watch (with the fOmey's ROM) and you select the tethering checkbox client.

(If you want to connect your tablet to internet over your phone, you must install the app on the tablet only and add the widget "Bluetooth Tethering Toggle" on the desktop of your tablet.

If you want to connect your phone A to internet over an other phone B, you must install the app on the first phone A only and add the widget "Bluetooth Tethering Toggle" on the desktop of your phone A.)

Just a suggest : can you hide the name under toggle? Because I don't use a classic grid (I use 5x3) and so I have to expand widget for see all the words... Maybe without name can be more nice and less intruder!

I ll do some tests and bring a solution. Not easy because the widget works on any android devices, not only Gear.. I don t find a sample to make a widget as a real icon with same title... (if someone knows, thank you for the help)

Thanks for developing this! So much easier to turn on tethering now!

I´we noticed that when I have the bluetooth tether connected all the time, my Note 3 drains battery in high grade.
Your widget/app works fine to enable bt tether but I dislike the idea of doing it manually when I need internet connection.

So I have a Request:
Is it possible to add a setting that automatically enables bt tether after an set amount of time from that the screen is turned on?
Not straight away when it turns on since I don´t need internet access when I only turn on the Gear for a short time watching the clock for example.

And it ofcourse needs to turn the bt tether off again when the screen goes off.

Is this possible to do? Or does anyone have another idea of how doing this automatic?

Thanks for a great app btw!

This could be done with Tasker Intents, or with Tasker Secure Settings but only IF the app/widget allows the Intent to toggle the connection.
I tried but it seems the intent was not there in Secure Settings.

I will look at the manifest file and see if the Intent "allow toggling" can be called from Tasker Intent plugin

Yeah I thought so to, but it would be nice to have it included in the app.

A question about Tasker, I own the Direct Download-version of Tasker and use it on my Note 3, is it possible to use the same license on my Gear or am I forced to but another licence for every device?

Yes, I will see what I can do to include this option inside the app. and include a retry/auto too for disconnections..
(with tasker, I must try the app before to understand how it works; no information about: what I must add in the manifest file ?)
