Is there a way to put apps OUTSIDE of the App Connect? I would like it in the main section of the Gear Fit rather than having to go into the menu of App Connect to get it. Any ideas?
There's no way to do this, but what you can do is assign app connect to your double press button found in gear fit manager -> settings

On ICS, the People app - I was looking at a contact and wanted to change the picture. By mistake I set the wrong app to open when i change the picture. How do I undo that?
I tried finding the people app int he apps list and clear settings, but it still uses the wrong app?
Go into Settings, then Applications, then Manage Applications, and find whatever app you set to use as default (the one you chose by accident). Tap it, and then on the screen that appears find the button "Clear defaults". Tap it. Then this app should no longer be the default for that task.

Wow that's insane. So instead of removing the setting for the app that USES it, you remove the assassination for ALL apps that use it? Good design there Google.
But thanks for your help!
Any one is familiar with an app or widget for quick shortcut to a specific bluetooth device (lets say my BT headset or my stereo) and pair to it with 1 click from the homescreen?
and maybe another toggle click would unpair it.
I want to put 3 shortcuts on my homescreen for each BT device so I'd have it quicker.. instead of going to settings>Bluetooth>and pair manualy the one.
I've tried to search on market and google but seems like the dev's ideas was only to short me up into the bluetooth settings and not to a specific user..
Thanks,
Yarden.

Well, there isn't anything (I think) that let's you select the device directly from the homescreen. However, you could use something like QuickTooth, at least you save a couple of steps since you only press the icon on the homescreen and are directly in the bluetooth settings. It won't be 1 click, but 2
Well, as I thought..
But I must say that your app is the nicest and easiest of all that I tried.. fits exactly for my purpose, the others just do another million things which I don't need.
So thank you!
If still someone else might find the one, don't hesitate to show it up here

:good: There is solution - combination of free tools:
first of all pair all your BT devices in your BT settings
install "Llama" (great and free app for any everyday automation needs and it support Locale plugins!) ... or other such tool (Locale, Tasker)
install "Bluetooth Auto Connect" (by Jakub Klos) from Play store - it has build-in plugins for Locale and Tasker
create homescreen shortcut, select Llama, then choose "Custom event actions" from the list ... you are now in in Llama shortcut setup:
tap "Llama shortcut name" and name it (for example I have 2 shortcuts named: "BT repro", "BT headphone")
tap "Add action" button (down on screen), scroll to and choose "Bluetooth" and then choose "Bluetooth On" - this will turn on BT first (yes, you don't have to turn it on - the shortcut will take care of it too )
tap again "Add action" button (down on screen), scroll to and choose "Locale plugin" and then you should see "Bluetooth Auto Connect" - tap it - now you are in "Bluetooth Auto Connect" app, set it up as follows :
"All devices" should be UNchecked so you can select concrete "Device"
"Profile action" should be "Connect"
"Media audio" and "Call audio" is up to you ...
now all is set and you need to just hit phone "Back" button until you are on your homescreen and Llama shortcut should be sitting right there
now repeat all steps to create second, third, ... shortcut With decent launcher you can customize even the icons of shortcuts.
And final tip: install "Widgetsoid" and you can create your widgets (2x1, 3x1, 4x1, ...) - add any system "toggles" like wifi, brightness etc... and you can add there "homescreen shortcuts" too - widgetsoid can display comfortably 6 to 8 toggles/icons in one 4x1 (screen width) widget so you save precious space
And after all this works, you should deep dive in Llama and use it for your daily automation (time/location based volume profiles etc.).
Don't forget to rate all these apps - they all deserve it ...

Works once, then dud!
Hi whiteowl,
I tried this method on my phone, which has jellybean 4.2.2.
This method works flawlessly for one time. The bluetooth starts and device pairs automatically.
But after that, it doesn't connect to the device at all.
Any solution to this?
Install QuickShortcutMaker. Navigate to Activities. Select "Settings" to display all Settings activities. Them select "com. android.settings/com.samsung.andriod.settings.bluetooth.BluetoothScanDialog. Click Create. Done!
I released an Android app this year called ShortTooth for this exact problem. Create customized single-click shortcuts to connect to any paired Bluetooth device. One of the screenshots shows 3 different shortcuts for different devices. It has a free 14-day trial.
I'm looking for internal/alpha/beta testers if you (or anyone) is interested. The app will be free for internal and alpha testers.

Awesome! I'm new to XDA developers, so I'm not sure what the best way to trade info is -- I'll need your google account email. You can send an email to the email listed on the app page ([email protected]), and I'll add you to the list, and we can go from there. Also since I'm new, I can't post links yet, so you'll have to search for it on Google Play by the exact name.
I'll do some beta testing. I just downloaded it from playstore.

I am looking for something simple. All it is an App that puts your apps in Alphabetical Order order. My watch starts off with Phone then Contacts is on the bottom of the scroll. It would be so much easier to scroll through the alphabet. If anyone can help me out thanks.
Tap and Hold the App to Rearrange
All you have to do is tap and hold each app to rearrange them. Just like an iPhone.
When I swipe either the right or left side of the screen I get this menu that pops up, it consists of a Google search bar, common apps, recent apps, settings shortcuts and an annoying ad. Is there a way to disable this? This is basically a brand new G5 with no custom launchers or anything like that.
Thanks-
Dan
I think that's a third party app. Can´t remember the name. But you should be able to uninstall it.
I don't see anything unfamiliar in my list of apps?
I did download the LG Home 4.0 app and install it. Maybe its part of that?
It's not part of LG Home, it's definitely a third party app especially given its ads for other software. Perhaps it was synced with your other apps or installed unintentionally some other way.
App drawer may not show all apps. Try to check Play Store > Sidebar > My Apps and Games > Installed tab to see if it synced an older app perhaps. To find a more comprehensive app listing, go to Settings > Apps > Select "All Apps" from the drop-down menu. Review that list carefully. Alternatively, you may try downloading a dedicated app-management app (e.g. AppMgr III) off the Play Store.
I found it! It was installed as part of ES File Explorer, it's a "feature" called ES Swipe. Its annoying and now it's gone....
Its an app I think called swipe it gets installed with ads, u can uninstall it ..

Apologies in advance if this is not the right place for this. Please move it to the appropriate thread/forum if needed. Thank you.
I've been working on a way to have DeX launch when my bluetooth keyboard is connected. I have shared my flow with the Automate Community. Any feedback or suggestions are welcome. I'm pretty new at this, so go easy on me lol.
Whenever anyone asks about automating tasks on Android I always think of Tasker. I haven't used it on the Tab S4 yet so do not know if it can manipulate the DeX setting or not. Might try and see what the Tasker community says. That would certainly be handy to have it change over whenever the bluetooth keyboard or mouse are connected. If you find anything out be sure to post the solution here so we can thank you for the work.

I have been in touch with the Tasker community, and so far it's not looking promising.

Awesome man... Works well. Definitely not the right forum to ask this but is it possible to create a flow to toggle Wi-Fi Calling on or off based on which Wi-Fi network its conn to or GPS? I searched but couldn't find anything for Tasker or Automate.
Finaly i find a way to toggle dex with Tasker but you need certain apps. QuickShortcutMaker and IntentTask(plugin for tasker).
First open QuickShortcutMaker to find Samsung Dex on activity selection. Then tap the ModeToggleActivity then add it to favorites(star icon) to find it later.
Now open Tasker and creat an action. Add action with IntentTask in plugins and select the Launch shortcut. Then in the name section press the pen icon and choose activities. Now tap on the favorites and tap Samsung DeX and create. Then tap done go back and you are done.

...brilliant.
edit: needs more hacking. I have a Samsung s5e and a foldable bluetooth keyboard. with this tasker setup I start dex whenever that keyboard pairs with my tablet which happens when I open it.
when I close it, nothing happens, and when I open it again, tasker switches back to normal tablet mode - needs some kind of "only when not in dex" trigger or something.
Perhaps there is a command line option we can use in Tasker on Bluetooth connect?

actualy it is weird to not back normal when close it or maybe i can just add an exit task with same action to close it (and maybe it is the way that because bluetooth profile is just do the action when connected something and do a different thing on disconnected sorry i am away from my tablet)
btw intenttask has a state condition with see the current app (samsung dex an example) to set a variable action maybe to prevent force close dex
where / how do i configure intenttask with that state condition?
