I have a CDMA Sprint Touch Pro, which turns on flight mode and kills the bluetooth when the battery is low. I like to always leave my bluetooth on, but if the battery gets low and the device turns off my phone after enabling flight mode, I have to manually turn on the bluetooth again. But sometimes I forget to do it, and if someone call me while I am driving, my bluetooth will not connect to my phone. Of course, I can't got into the menus and turn on bluetooth while I am driving. I know of bluetooth toggle programs like BlueToggler, which toggles the bluetooth on and off. However, I want a simple low-RAM program that I can put on the start up list that strictly turns on the bluetooth on startup (without turning on the discovery mode). Does anyone know of such a program?
Because of the lack of physical buttons to control the music player I went out and got a bluetooth headset for the archos. Which works great all the buttons work, but once I push pause the archos goes to sleep and shuts off bluetooth is there any way to stop this?

You should try it with some kind of battery saver app or so
In these program you can set if you want turning wifi off when your archos sleep and such stuff i think a bluetooth option will be there, try different apps
I had the same problem...
Since you need your Archos to not go to sleep, there needs to be a wakelock active. Since most apps use wakelocks automatically (for example the music player activates a wakelock for as long as it plays music, but drops it the moment you press pause and the device goes to sleep) you need to get one yourself. Maybe there is a simple app or gadget for that so you can search for it, the key word you need is wakelock.
On the other hand, I use the Terminal Emulator app which has an option to take a wakelock in the menu and leave it running in the background, so you can use it if you find nothing else.
Anyway, remember to drop the wakelock when you stop listening to music, cause you'll drain your battery keeping the Archos running even with the screen off.
I was able to get SuperPower running on my archos. It's in the market but doesn't show up on the archos so I had to download it on another android device and then transfer it over, but it has a feature that allows you to delay the BT shut down for up to five minutes. It's not perfect, but I generally only need to pause for a little while to talk to someone. and I can live with turning it back on after really long stretches. I'll keep looking for something better and post it if I find it.
You can try Softlocker. It's free and available in the market. I use it to keep my wifi open during sleep. I guess it would do the same for bluetooth, but i've never tried it.

Lets you take out all sorts of locks; with and without screen, keyboard and so on.

So I am using Tasker, and loving it. The last thing I set up was to have NFC ReTag kick off a Tasker action that turns the bluetooth on and starts up Pandora when I touch my phone to the NFC chip in my car.
Now what I want it to do is to automatically turn the bluetooth off if there has been no connection for a minute, but I'm having some unexpected behavior. Specifically, it will turn the bluetooth off, but then the bluetooth comes right back on again.
First I have two profiles called Bluetooth Connected and Bluetooth Disconnected. All these do are to detect if there is a bluetooth connection, and then write the state to a variable called %BTCONNECTED ("on" if connected, "off" if not).
I have a third profile called Bluetooth Autooff that is kicked off if the bluetooth is on. Then it does this (using pseudocode here):
Code:
if %BTCONNECT matches "off"
wait 1 minute
if %BTCONNECT matches "off"
turn blutetooth off
end if
end if
I have tested it using a wait time of 10 seconds, and I can see it turn the bluetooth off, but then it immediately comes on again. Anyone have any ideas?
Hi,
I've created a tasker profile which simply checks if I'm near the Bluetooth in my car, if so turn bluetooth on, wifi on, and bluetooth volume up to max. This all works fine, however it doesn't stay connected. After a few minutes the bluetooth gets turned off (not just disconnected) and I can't understand why. If I manually turn it back on, it will reconnect with the car immediately. And I think that if I leave it long enough for tasker to re scan, it will re-connect by it's self (I've not check this thoroughly).
Any idea what I'm missing here?
Thanks
Every time I click turn off it using Screen Standby it reboots my phone instead if working like it should. Only thing done to my phone is Root with Towelroot and added Supersu and Titanium backup. Before root it would turn off phone correctly and come back on by shaking but when I tried to watch a movie it would only turn down brightness to 20% by default. What I am doing is hooking phone to a hdmi to html connector to hook to tv to watch a movie. Reason for this is just by hooking up to tv without using Screen Standby the screen wont turn off which causes phone to go dead and battery gets hot before movie is over. I need this app to save battery life. Any ideas? Thanks for any and all help in advance.
