Do you have a new iPad without a cellular connection as well as your S3? You already know you can make the S3 into a personal wi-fi hotspot but that can use lots of juice and you want the S3 to last the full day, did you know that you can connect the two using a BT PAN profile on the S3? No, here’s how…
First setup your S3:
Assign a BT name – Settings -> Bluetooth -> (menu) Device name
Enable BT – Settings -> Bluetooth = 1
Note: I needed to reboot the S3 at this point to make the new device name effective but YMMV
Enable BT PAN (tethering) – Settings -> More Settings -> Tethering and portable hotspot. Check “Bluetooth tethering”
Set S3 to BT discoverable – Settings -> Bluetooth. Check “[S3 BT name] Only visible to paired devices”
Pair iPad and S3:
On iPad: Settings -> General -> Bluetooth. Bluetooth = On
On iPad: Choose [S3 BT name] and pair devices
Note: You can initiate the pairing from either device but if you do it from the iPad end you don’t need to enter a PIN
That’s it – you should see a “chain-link” icon in the upper left of your iPad (same place you would see a wi-fi indicator) and you’re good to surf, visit the “App Store” or “iTunes”.
Why to use BT?
Use WiFi Hotspot instead and its much faster.
BT is really slow for HSDPA+ connections.
I use my iPad and I connect it to the mobile network using S3 as a WiFi Hotspot. It's working really great.
In a word or two - battery life - BT is significantly lower power consumption than running a wi-fi hotspot. Yes it's bandwidth is limited but it's higher than I see on an HSPA+ connection here in the East Midlands, UK.
i tried this but my GS3 pops up a screen notifying me to call my provider to activate this service….
Thank you very much!
:good:

The funny thing is, I don't have an option to tether via BT on my S3 in that settings menu. Only wi-fi or USB.
Hello, Bluetooth pairing is not possible between iPad and android. Seems that this feature was removed recently
does this still work? I get a message on my s3, then data connection is lost. Is there a workaround?
Just a easy solution
You can easily make a wifi hotspot on your samsung galaxy S3 and share the wifi with your ipad

I have a Jabra Clipper audio player to play my MP3's & streaming internet radio to my car stereo via 3.5mm jack. I also have my Moto BT headset that I use.
When I get a call the music is interrupted and I can answer the call with the Jabra Clipper and I can hear the call audio through the car speakers. The problem is my microphone on my phone is too far away on my car dock and people can't hear me.
So after answering the call I would have to go to settings, wireless, bluetooth and disconnect the Jabra and connect my Moto headset before I can take the call.
This is a pain and takes too long, is there a widget to swap paired BT devices? I cannot find anything in the marketplace.
Maybe a Tasker profile? I have Tasker but I haven't gotten any profiles to work yet.
I have a Droid X running Liberty 1.5.
Thanks.
I don't know if this will help, but can you not have both items paired and connected at the same time? My car has bluetooth for my phone for talk only, and I just added a Tunelink device to stream my music by bluetooth in the car. I've noticed when I get in the car that both will be paired, but only the car will be connected. So I have added a bluetooth widget to my homescreen, when I get in the car I will click on the widget that opens up the bluetooth settings and click on the Tunelink to connect it, from then on out both items are connected AND paired and both will work with no problems.
I initially had the HTC settings > Bluetooth shortcut, but then when Widgetsoid added the capability to choose bluetooth settings I changed to that.

Nice! I have a Jabra Clipper too! I say that because I have not seen anyone else with one yet lol.
Ever since I switched to CM7 I have been able to 1-touch enable/disable Bluetooth and Wifi among 10 other optional, additional buttons via the status bar. I hope this bar never goes away in future updates! Anywho you could check that out for managing your bluetooth connection quickly and efficiently.
All I can say in addition to that is clicking on individual bluetooth devices in the menu allows you to disable specifically phone / media audio. You could try disabling one or the other for one of your devices so that they both work independently. I'm not really sure how else to help you because of the unique situation.
Your best bet is to make your setup less complicated, by not using one or the other device, but I saved that one for last because it isn't what you're looking to accomplish.

Prior to the upgrade last week, the widget would only turn bluetooth on or off. With the update last week it added the option to have it open up the bluetooth (or wifi) options. This isn't automatic, you have to choose for it to do this in the options.
I don't know maybe the phone won't automatically connect with two items at once. It's a hassle to connect each time, but after the initial connection everything runs smoothly.
I downloaded Widetoid 2 and loaded it, now I have an BT settings icon on my switcher.
I managed to figure it out without he use of a widget, under my bluetooth settings I selected my Jabra Clipper and unchecked phone audio. Now I can connect my Clipper as media audio and my BT headset at phone audio at the same time. Now when I get a call the audio switches from the Clipper to the BT headset.
Thanks for your help.
An amazing One click - Connect 2 Specific Bluetooth device for A2DP and Phone app:
Bluetooth Pair
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gnssoftworks.bluetoothpair
found it very useful for swapping bluetooth headphones between devices WITHOUT turning off Bluetooth entirely or going into the settings menu.
Example Use Case:
I have one Stereo Bluetooth headset with mic (two profiles - phone and A2DP audio)
I have one Android Phone and one Android Tablet.
Phone Profile is always connected to the Android Phone, but the A2DP audio changes depending on which device you want to listen to music from.
Normally, if you want to listen to audio from the Tablet when your headset's A2DP profile is connected to the phone, you'd have to first go to the settings menu of the phone, and disconnect the A2DP, leaving Phone Profile connected. Then go to the settings menu on your tablet and connect the A2DP only.
Then you'd have to do the opposite if you want to listen to audio from the Phone again.
Takes a long time.
With Bluetooth Pair, you can specifically connect or disconnect to a specific device and specific profile (phone / a2dp) by widgets.
So you won't have to turn off the bluetooth completely on one device just to allow your headset to connect another device. Nor do you need to go into settings anymore.
1.) Just tap on the A2DP device specific widget on the phone to disconnect, the A2DP Profile from the phone
2.) go to the Tablet, and tap on the A2DP device specific widget to connect the A2DP profile of the headset to the Tablet
Two taps!
You saved me From buying a new stereo!

Headphone Connect - One Click Audio is a really simple app that let's you connect / disconnect to your desired bluetooth headset.
You find it in the play store if you search for "Headphone connect - one click audio"
I realize this is an old post, but I recently released an app called ShortTooth: create customized single-click shortcuts to connect to any paired Bluetooth device.
I use it to disconnect from my home stereo when I get into the car (parked close enough to still be paired), and reconnect to my home stereo when I get back.
You could use it to create two shortcuts:
* Toggle Jabra
* Toggle Moto
Or you can create two rows:
* Connect Jabra | Discconnect Jabra
* Connect Moto | Discconnect Moto
It has a free 14-day trial.
Hi All,
I have an NFC enabled Samsung Galaxy Nexus and have placed NFC tags in specific places (car, living room, home theater, bedroom, etc.) so that I when I set my phone on the NFC tag I can automatically play music over Bluetooth in that location.
I am trying to completely automate connecting to a *specific* Bluetooth device. (I am not looking to simply toggle Bluetooth on or off, or select the desired Bluetooth device from a menu.) I am currently using "NFC Task Launcher" to accomplish the majority of this, but as far as Bluetooth is concerned, the most I've been able to automate so far is to simply Bluetooth on or off. (I also tried "Tasker" but the functionality I am looking for is missing from this app as well.) I have not found a way to read an NFC tag and automatically connect to a specific Bluetooth device based on which tag is read, nor have I even found a "one click" app / widget that connects to a specific Bluetooth device. (If such a "one click" app / widget exists, I could automate the launching of that app to make the connection.).
(Also having the Bluetooth device in each location initiate the connection isn't a viable solution, I need for the phone to iniatiate the connection.)
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Ran across this looking for the same answer. Surprised no one has responded in over a month here.
Did you have any luck finding a workaround for specific BT device connections?
Hi,
I am the developer of MacroDroid an automation application for Android (that supports NFC tags).
This is a feature one of my users has just requested, so I'm just starting to look into the feasibility of adding it. (I came across this post during my initial research).
I will report back here on what I find and if all goes to plan I'll get the feature added to MacroDroid ASAP.
In the meantime, I'd appreciate ALL feedback (positive and negative) with regards to MacroDroid as I hope to make it as powerful and flexible as possible. It's available on Google Play here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arlosoft.macrodroid&hl=en
Cheers,
Jamie
Just a quick follow up to my last post.
I believe it is possible to implement functionality to connect to a specific device. I currently don't have an appropriate device to test this, but I have one on order. As soon as I receive it, I'll have a go at adding this to MacroDroid.
In the meantime the following app on the market:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=a2dp.Vol&hl=en
Has the capability to connect to a second Bluetooth device when a Bluetooth connection is established. This may or may not help depending on what you are doing.
Any update on this? I'm also in the same boat. My car doesn't automatically connect anymore, never really did, I think its Bluetooth > 3.x on phone( 4.0 right now, but same on older past devices on S3 ) and the stereo bluetooth is older version( can't remember exactly. )
Anyways, thanks dev for posting about the other app, plan on trying it out tomorrow. In the meantime have you made any progress on your app for this functionality? I'd rather keep everything( all settings ) in one app if I can. Don't think Tasker allows this still, not sure on locale but I doubt it also.
Eagerly awaiting an update
A few more options
Did a little more searching just in case anything new has been released recently - came up with a few new options.. None seem to suit my need (trigger connection within Tasker via a plugin or directly opening an app), but posting here since they may help others.. I haven't tried these - just going on app descriptions.
So, in addition to A2DP Volume as suggested by UndeadCretin, which would be the best option if you want the connection to a A2DP device when another BT device connects, there's also Car Music Connector (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleansoft.carmusic) which would seem to fit the bill for most people perfectly. Free, and "Connects you device to Bluetooth stereo in one widget click or NFC tap." Downside would seem to be that it would need to be set as default NFC app for one tap NFC triggering.
If just a widget is needed, Bluetooth Autoconnect (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.btautoconnect), which is a paid app - although Car Music Connector also has a widget so is probably a better (and free!) choice.
Edit: Scratch that.. Car Music Connector doesn't prompt for a device to connect to.. I only have 1 A2DP device paired, and it wont connect to it (just times out) - maybe someone else will have better luck.
Bluetooth Autoconnect seems like it should work, however it enables/disables bluetooth at the same time - so if you already have bluetooth turned on, it turns it off. <sigh>
I'm unable to get it to connect to the either of 2 A2DP devices though - emailed the Dev hoping that it's just something funky with my device (Galaxy S3) that can be worked around.
Interested in this as well.
Firstly sorry for the long delay in replying!
I have now added the ability in MacroDroid to connect to a specific Bluetooth audio device. I have it working on my 2.3 and 4.0.4 and 4.1 devices but I only have a single audio device to test against. Some users have reported that it's not working for them, so if anyone does try this I would appreciate any feedback if it works or doesn't. If it's not working for you could you please tell me the device, OS version and device you are trying to connect to. Feedback here is fine, or mail me at: [email protected]
Best Regards,
Jamie

Awesome to hear.. I'll give it a test run when I get a chance and get back to you with results.. Just a query - what's the system resource usage of MacroDroid? I currently use Tasker, and am more than happy to buy and use MacroDroid for this one single function if it works, but don't really want them both running in the background at the same time if they're using up resources.. Can MacroDroid be setup to only run when called (i.e. having a shortcut trigger it, or even better via a Locale plugin?) I know that this is probably wanting a little too much
For others, Bluetooth Auto Connect (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.myklos.btautoconnect) has had a recent update of "New: Tasker/Local plugin - new Profile action added - Connect / Disconnect actions supported" which sounds promising.
I never got the app to work previously (it just never connected), but others may have better luck. I haven't tried it since the update.

The resource usage of MacroDroid should be very low as it is effectively dormant in most cases. MacroDroid does run as a foreground service so it displays a persistent icon in the notification bar. If this annoys you there is an option in settings to turn off the foreground service. In most cases it will still work but YMMV. Anyway you can get the basic functionality for free, so you can give it a try and see how it works for you.
Regards,
Jamie
I have just submitted an updated (V1.3.8) that will hopefully solve the issue some users were seeing with the Bluetooth audio connection. I appreciate any feedback if it works (or not) for you....
Car Music Connector
Hello,
In addition to A2DP profile Car Music Connector waits for Headset profile to be connected by default. This is more reliable for most car bluetooth enabled stereos. If you are using it with A2DP only device you need to disable "Wait for Headset Bluetooth connection" in settings.
Hope that helps.

Awesome! Gonna download it now and try it in the morning... but ya still get the thanks regardless of how it works for breathing life into this thread
Hi all- Long time lurker/searcher; but haven't found an answer to this one.
My android phone auto-connects to my car's bluetooth adapter upon starting the engine and it's great. However this works only when the bluetooth device setting has both "use for phone audio" AND "use for media audio". This particular bluetooth adapter has a rather crappy microphone, so I would like to use the settings as shown in this screenshot:
i.imgur.com/zxmJY.jpg
However, with this setting the auto-connect no longer happens. I have to open the android bluetooth settings and manually connect every time. I assume this is by design. I'd imagine this is a 1-line setting in a config file somewhere? Any suggestions for making the auto-connect happen regardless of the unchecked "use for phone audio"?
The android device is a Droid X running CM7 stable (indeed, very stable). Thanks
Seeking solution to the problem described shortly thereafter:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III - GT I9300 - STOCK ZTO-4.1.1 without root.
I also have a headset bluetooth, Nokia BH-503 model.
When I listen to music via streaming (Rdio for example), and while connected via WiFi with the headset, the WiFi connection starts to disconnect and reconnect randomly. This only happens when I use my bluetooth headset.
I did the full wipe of the phone, I changed the channel of WiFi, static IP, have disabled the WiFi Power Save Mode (via * # 0011 #) and nothing of the problem being solved. Has anyone experienced this or have a solution to this problem?
Thank you.
Have experienced this problem with Sony MW-1. Changing any wifi or bluetooth-related settings did not fix anything.
I have the same problem with a Nokia MD-310 bluetooth receiver. From what I can determine it is a problem with Galaxy s3 and APT-X bluetooth audio. My SGS3 works fine with older A2DP bluetooth devices but as soon as connected to the MD-310 (apt-x) the wifi becomes flakey and eventually drops completely.
Did you have any luck with a solution for this?
I tried the same things as you, wifi channels, factory reset, but no improvement.
Have not had a problem with Samsung HS3000, use it all the time.
I've done some further digging and I believe it is related to WiFi and Bluetooth congestion through the sgs3 radio on the 2.4 GHz frequency.
+ At home I only have a single band WiFi AP (2.4 GHz) and can't maintain AptX Bluetooth streaming and WiFi connection. Audio skips until WiFi drops.
+ At work I have dual band WiFi. When connected on 5 Ghz I can stream AptX and maintain both connections well. Switch the AP to 2.4 Ghz, reconnect, and the audio starts skipping and soon after the WiFi drops.
Same behavior with two i9300s.
Regular A2DP Bluetooth works fine regardless, so it must just be the added bandwidth requirements of AptX that bring the radio to its knees.
I'm going to buy a dual band router for home and see how I go...
I know this is for 6 years ago,
I had this problem but that is solved now and i am going to say how, maybe someone have this problem right now.
I have samsung galaxy s5 and when i connected bluetooth headest and wifi be dissconnect
Now for solveing this problem:
First go to settings and then appliction manager
And show system apps
Then you must find bluetooth app and click that
Then you must click on "force stop" and then go to storage, now you must first clear cache and then clear data and you must restart an end
Now your problem probably is sloved

I just bought a Dash Cam that connects to my phone over WiFi . Can I use my Mobile Hotspot feature to share my data with a S7 while I am connected to the Dash Cam? If not can the S7 connect to two networks?
The Dash Cam does not have the capability to connect to a different network.
Yes, you can connect your S9 to the Dash-Cam and the S7 to the S9, but your S9 will disble the Mobile Data and you won't have a connection to the internet. To avoid this, enable "Keep Mobile Data on" in the Developer options.

Will that also work with wifi direct? It turns out that is how my dash cam connects on Android
I really don't know if this also works with WiFi-Direct. You can connect to a WiFi and with WiFi-Direct at the same time, but I'm not sure if you can Create a hotspot and WiFi-Direct.
If you want, you can connect the S7 to the S9 and to the Dashcam via WiFi-Direct at the same time.

Thank you for the info I will try to figure out how to do it. I may be trying to to something easy the hard way. Here is my situation
I have a Toyota Rav-4 with the basic sound. It lets a device connect as Phone or Audio. In order to steam audio to the radio and have GPS go into my ear I have to run the GPS on my S9+ and tether over WiFi a S7 with no service to the S9+ The S7 is connected to the car radio over Bluetooth as the Audio Device.
My new camera a a Nexar uses WiFI Direct to connect to the android phone
Even with the option for turned on in Developer Options the S9+ is popping up a screen that says
Turn off Mobile Hotspot?
Wi-Fi is turned off when Mobile Hotspot is active. To turn on Wi-Fi, turn off Mobile Hotspot
To enable the Repeater-Mode at the S9 you have to go to the Mobile-Hotspot settings and enable the second option (the option under the Password of the Hotspot)

I did that (see attachments) and it is still giving me the same message.
Oh, WiFi-Direct with the Hotspot is not working, I thought normal WiFi with hotspot is not working.
You can try to connect the phones with an usb cable and the otg adapter from the s9. Then enable USB-Thetering at the S9 and it you can connect it via WiFi-Direct to the Dash-Cam.
If I do that won't I lose the ability to charge the phones?
It would be so much easier of Waze had an option tho output directions to my Bluetooth earpiece
To charge the phone you would need a adapter or a wireless charger.
