Hi there,
i would like to use Android Auto Wireless which is slowely rolled out at the moment.
First only Google Pixel phones could do it, now Samsung phones are certified too.
In theory it could work with every Pie (Android 9) device.
I bought a new Kenwood Headunit for my car and it works after enabling it in the developer options - BUT - without internet connection.
The phone automatically connects to the headunit's wifi and that's it. No internet available. Of course the headunit doesn't provide internet and wifi is just used for the connection.
My phone is a Xiaomi Mi Max 3 with MIUI11 (ROOTED) and Android 9.
Google Play Services: current beta (19.4.20)
Headunit Kenwood DMX8019DAB
How can i force the phone to use mobile data when connected to the headunits wifi?
Thanks
...

I have the same issue with my oneplus 6t when connected wirelessly to my Pioneer AVH-W4400NEX. My mobile data/LTE disconnects and wireless android auto becomes unusable. Needs help here.
I use a OP7TPro now and maybe this helps because I needed to change this setting to make it work:
Settings - WiFi - wifi settings - automatically swap to mobile data (or something like that, it's german on my phone)
I have the Android 10. Yup basically that it the solution. Go to wifi preferences and enable "auto switch to mobile data". Thanks.
Unfortunately this doesn't work on Xiaomi phones. One of the reasons I switched.

Hello, i use bluetooth for tethering my Prime with my Desire HD because it consumes less battery than using WIFI-Hotspot. The Problem with this was that the Transformer does not automatically connect to the phone when enabling bluetooth.
So i wrote an App that does exactly this. It reacts on the bluetooth_state_change broadcast and then connects to the phone. The App uses some hidden Api-Calls but seems to work well.
Since i don't have a market account yet, i thought it would be a good idea to upload it here. I attached the apk and the source.
Please comment!
EDIT: Seems to work with any bluetooth device, see posts below
EDIT2: This version is outdated. Please search "Bluetooth auto connect" by refluxa in Google play. I can't post any links here yet. Also it only works with Honeycomb or higher.

THANK YOU!!!!
This is very nice. I tried it and it works perfectly with my GNex, which I've basically been using constantly because wifi sucks. BT tether is the way to go.

Hey thanks. Works great. I use it in combination with bluetooth headset Jabra bt3030. So simple yet so effective.
Maybe you should rename the thread. It's not only good for tethering as you can see
Hi,
sorry for my late answer. Thank you for the comments. I'm glad to hear that it is useful for you, even though i don't know why it works with headsets. I explicitly select the Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Network) Profile.
Also i registered a developer account now and i think i will publish it there in the next days.
Looks like a very promising app. I tried it, but it crashes periodically on my AT&T Galaxy Note when I turn bluetooth on. Also, the bluetooth connected devices appear disabled - they are a very light color on a white background.
I'd love to help with this, let me know if you need more info or assistance.
Please see updated first post. You will have to wait until Samsung brings your device to ics.
Hello, I have SGS2 with ICS ROM. I have installed Bluetooth Auto Connect from Google Play because my phone doesn't want to connect to my BT car hands free automatically (manual connect always works). The auto connect app shows the name of my hansfree but the selection is unfortunately disabled. Can you please enable also other BT profiles (not only PAN) in your application? It can be very useful for another BT devices too.
Is there any way this app could allow for multiple device selection and have it recognize a "friendly name?" (if you rename the device in your BT panel)
This works great for me in my car to connect my BT, but I have a second transceiver that I use in my house that is identical, so it has the same name, and the software seems to randomly pick one of the two when BT powers up.
Allowing checkboxes for a multiple device selection to start up the BT connections would probably be enough for me, as then "random" will get both every time.
I just updated the app. Now it has support for Tasker / Locale and Multiple Devices!

I just found this great app trough a post on the Tasker forum and installed it immediate.
I noticed that if you manually start the app it will ask you to enable BT, but is you use the Tasker plugin it doesn't enable BT.
Of course you can enable BT using Tasker before using the plugin, it would be nice if the plugin had an optin to enable BT.
Beside that, thanks for this great app/plugin.

Hello,
i will have to ponder on that because tasker / locale developers say that functionality that is already offered by their programs should not be reimplemented in plugins. On the other hand i also see that some users have problems because they do not know that they have to enable bluetooth first. I think i will add a little notice at least.
Have you got a guide (or a link to one) to setup bluetooth tether (HTC One X to Transformer) so I can use this app?
Do you need root on the phone to do it?
Hello, sorry but i just overlooked your post. In general its a good idea to do the whole stuff manually once. First you have to pair your devices and enable bluetooth tethering on the phone (On my non-Sense-Phone: Settings -> More... (in Wireless & Networks Section) -> Tethering and mobile Hotspot). Then on the tablet open the configuration dialog using the button with the three controllers beside the entry of your phone in the bluetooth dialog. Select "use for internet connection". Go back to the previous menu and click on the entry. Now you should be able to use the phones internet connection. This is the point where the apps come into play: The auto tether app enables bluetooth tethering on the phone after reboot (is disabled automatically) and the auto connection app simply initiates the bluetooth connection when enabling bluetooth.
Fantastic app! So useful in conjunction with tasker
I was wondering if there were plans to add a complementary feature: i.e. the possibility to autodisconnect a specific BT device. I'm looking for an app that allows me to do that via tasker to be able to toggle my BT headset connection between my phone and my tablet. I don't think any app can do that yet?
Hello,
it has disconnect functionality now (Version 0.6)!

Hello, thank you for your app.
Unfortunately it crashes to me. I set it up so to connect to a joypad (that is, the iPega controller mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033780 ).
When I turn bluetooth on, "unfortunately the application has died unexpectedly".
Just reporting.
Thank you very much

Is there a way to disable the remote sim protocol on the S3? My carkit (RNS510 premium from Volkswagen) connects via this protocol but it's not the preferred method. There is a workarround, i can manually disconnect and then connect to the carkit via the phone (i think it connects via a2dp or something), but it's bit of a hassle. If I could just disable rsap my carkit will automaticlly connect via the other protocol (like it connects with an iphone)
If your phone is rooted you can rename /system/lib/bluez-plugin/sap.so. This should remove the SAP profile from your phone. Perhaps you have to repeat the pairing.

I am so happy that rSAP is available now - before I had to root and install 3rd party software. But usually you can decide while pairing which mode you like - at least my Audi asks which connection mode I would like. Maybe you have to unpair first on both devices and the pair again.
Out of interest: Why is rSAP not your preferred method? The phone itself uses less energy, reception is better due to the build in antenna and also the phonebook features are available in the car.
The only reason for me would be the lack of data connection on the phone which is only true if your car does not provide the Wifi Hotsport function - with this my S3 is connecting to the Internet and also the car has access for online traffic info, Google Earth, etc...

Grrr, why it does not want to work with MMI on A7? and he wants have disconnected, doh
I made the update, but nothing. It fails after the request of 6 digit PIN (indeed, I had 16 digits on my old BB Storm). Also with that 3rd party app, it doesn't work... what car do you have and what did you exactly to make it works?
Thanks.
Oooh...which firmware version did rsap support come in?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
XXB LG8 for sure.
Will you try?

Hi there!
My name is Andre and I installed a Volkswagen Bluetooth kit with the remote SIM feature.
As I paired my Galaxy SIII with the kit, my phone asked me a couple of things that I auto answered yes...
The first one was about giving permission to access my SIM.
After that my phone always entered in remote SIM mode with the kit.
Today I remade the pairing and when my phone asked to enable access to the kit for my SIM... I answered NO (and checked the box "do not ask me this again").
Now me, my phone and my car seem to be understanding each other.
Hope that this was of any help,
Andre
How can I reverse tether my Android phones to my PC via Bluetooth? Is this even possible?
PC is running Windows 7 x64. Phone is an HTC HD2 running JellyBean AOSP from NAND. I know Wifi would be easiest, but this is a work PC and company policy is we are not allowed to run our own Wifi networks.
I managed to connect the HD2 to the PC via Bluetooth with a PAN network, it only worked when I turned on Internet Tethering on the phone. However, this makes the HD2 into the server and PC into the client so PC can use phone's internet connection. I need the reverse! I need HD2 to be the client, PC to be the server. I found a Bluetooth PAN client from the Play store, but it can't connect via PAN to the PC. I assume because the MS BT stack only has a PAN client and not server. Is there such a thing as a PAN server for PC? I've looked at Widcomm and Bluesoleil BT stacks, but neither specifically mentions having a PAN server.
I found this tutorial that sounds promising, using DUN instead of PAN:
http://bluedunapp.blogspot.com/2012/05/bluetooth-tethering-for-android-devices.html
It's for reverse tethering an Android device to another Android device. Looks like BlueVPN on the Android side will do what I want, be a DUN client. However, similar problem to PAN, I can't find a DUN server. It's apparently not built into the MS BT stack either.
Is it even possible to reverse tether an Android phone to PC over Bluetooth?
Only other idea I can think of is to use an intermediate device as a bridge. USB reverse tether a phone to PC, and use phone's bluetooth tethering abilities to tether my bluetooth phone to it. Really round-about way to go about it though.
not exactl but it works
hi i cant find out a way to connect through bluetooth but i found some apps which can connect your mobile to internet through usb connection
but it requires root access
1.ReverseTether.Trial in google play
2.just search for "reverse tethering galaxy y in google" and select first link from "galaxyyarchive,info" worked for me but dont know about other phones
sorry i cant post links right now
bye

So far there isn't any app that does a reverse tether through Bluetooth. Only Wi-Fi @ usb tether are currently possible.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get this to work. I tried using "Bluetooth PAN for Root Users" on the client phone and it wasn't able to see the Bluetooth connection on the phone which has a Bluetooth tethering checkbox. However, my PC with bluetooth dongle was able to make a PAN connection to that phone, so I guess it's something with the "Bluetooth PAN for Root Users" which isn't compatible.
There's a way to do that using USB Tunneling. An xda member has done this, and I'm using my PC's Internet connection on my HTC Desire with a USB cable. The download below will possibly work for any phone... I'm not taking any credits for this tool and app. This belongs to someone, and I downloaded it, but can't remember who made this. Anyone who knows, please correct me...
I've actually been using that tool for awhile. Its official post is here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345

Does the android phone BT stack even support the PAN client role? I guess it may not be there. Could you clarify??
I don't know, I'm going to guess not.
I used to setup Windows on a Broadcom/Widcom bluetooth stack/driver to do this Bluetooth Reverse Tethering for Android - no rooting or apps required. Phone needs to support Bluetooth network access feature - no rooting or apps required as this is a standard/implemented protocol - Samsung S3, Sony Xperia V, Nexus 5, Nexus 4 support it, etc. To check, a phone that supports "bluetooth tethering" would likely support the "bluetooth internet access" (which is "bluetooth reverse tethering") feature. So, as an easy check - on your Android, go to Settings > More… > Tethering & portable hotspot - Now look for a “Bluetooth Tethering” item - if it is available, there’s a good chance that your device is compatible - but if you can’t find it, your device is likely NOT compatible.
As a roughly remember - the steps are like:
1. You need to enable the "Network Access Point" profile in the configuration and you'll get a new "network device"
2. Then in the control panel, go to the connection list, then ctrl-click the new bt-network-device and your LAN ethernet network device - right click and choose "bridge" to bridge it with your LAN.
3. Try pair android phone (which has the bluetooth "internet access" feature) with pc then if all is well, you'll see the bluetooth settings button for your computer - "If this inner settings page has the “Internet Access” item and checkbox shown".
If you tried on the Broadcom stack and still need help - I might try make a blog post with detailed screenshots someday if i can get some free time...
Okay, now I have a new PC running Windows 8.1 which has built-in Broadcom bluetooth, and a different phone, Motorola Droid Mini XT1030. I've installed the most recent WIDCOMM stack.
I'm able to connect a new Bluetooth PAN network device, but there is no "bridge" option. There are for other devices like the PC's built-in Wifi, but not for the bluetooth.
Am I missing something?
I've also tried using USB Reverse Tethering using an old phone as a bridge, but that doesn't work either.

Hi ykasidit,
could you please provide more detail explanation on how to enable the "Network Access Point" profile in the configuration to get this new "network device"?
Hi!
I just got my amzfit and I installed Amzfit.
I know that I can connect the watch to the wifi. Do I need to connect it? Beside send some file from my phone with some app, is there a reason to use the wifi?
The WiFi is used to check for OTA updates and download direct to watch or if you want to upload a sports activity direct from watch to cloud but it's not really necessary as the activities will sync to the App over bluetooth anyway.
Then, how to disable the WiFi connection only? And leave the Bluetooth ON and connect to my mobile?
thanks
I think it already disables WiFi when it's in standby then will ask to connect when it needs it.
I am going to buy stratos so I would like to ask: if the bluetooth connection between watch and phone is lost then does watch sync with phone by wifi ? ( when they are in the same network )
I think that Samsung gears S3 works this way

No, you can only upload Sports data to the cloud using WiFi on watch. Other than this, WiFi on watch is only used to update firmware and send error logs.
I think wifi suit installed in Pace just for increasing price , nothing else . When want to update version , just use app to download and bluetooth to Pace . It is too wasteful when you can not use Pace's wifi to import musics and faces directly from internet . In Vietnam 4G is cheap so I online 24 hours without wifi but when update I must go to cafeteria , importing musics and faces must borrow computer from around . Annoyed .

On latest firmware (WOS2, firmware 2.x.y), already released in CN and in beta right now for International users, you can transfer music from phone to watch wirelessly. You can also do this and transfer watchfaces if you install some app like FileManager+ on watch, it creates a temporary FTP server that can be used to transfer any files to and from watch using WiFi.
Wifi / bluetooth both
From the beginning I use Pace and Stratos and always totally confused sync usage.
1. it seems it needs to sync sport data by wifi only.
2. it needs to sync GPS and some other data like weather by bluetooth only.
3. Of course it needs bluetooth for phone notification which I never need.
4. It needs to be connected regularly to the phone by bluetooth to be able to sync over wifi.
5. Your phone has to be connected to the internet to get updates.
It is quite complicated system. Yesterday I had bluetooth ON and synced with phone. In the settings is AUTOMATIC SYNC ON. Wifi is remembered. Today checked Strava and nothing there. I forced to sync manually and it told me I need to refresh some "token" and need to connect to my phone. So any automatic sync has not been made.
In conclusion it needs WIFI + Phone and bluetooth to sync to the cloud and whats more, you have to do manually and check if it really happened.
Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone can take a look at a keypad (tablet) that runs on Android 6.0. It has no WiFi, just works over POE w\Injector. Wondering if we can WiFi to this Androind build. You can PM me for details.
thanks
Bump.. Anyone interested? The issue is since the tablet is hardwared the apps need WiFi to connect. Not sure why the apps need WiFi, since the tablet is already online, can browse internet, etc. IE; If I launch the Sonos App, it ask me to enable WiFi. It wont connect using the hardware POE connection.
Here is the build info to this device.
http://specdevice.com/showspec.php?id=b4e2-54ec-0033-c5870033c587
@sweethip
PoE is Ethernet and not Wireless ( Wi-Fi ): Your tablet does't support Wi-Fi connection because it hasn't an inbuilt Wi-Fi antenna .
@jwoegerbauer
Thanks for the response.. Yes it does have it built in.. it's just disabled or removed from the latest build.
I am asking to see if someone can take a look and see if they can re-enable it since I am not familiar with android devolpment.
Is that a limit on android apps not working over Ethernet ? Don't get why the apps won't work even though it's connected online.
