Automatically enable bluetooth when in car [Android]..?

Scope · 3 Jul 2014 at 18:32

Rather than leaving bluetooth enabled all the time I would like the phone (samsung S4) to automatically enable it when im in the car, and (optionally) IF I have connected it to the charger.. Is such thing possible? Any apps I can use?

S4 has NFC doesn't it?
Put a NFC chip on the cradle, so when you put it in it detects it and fires up what you need.

I use tasker. If I leave the range of my home or work wifi signal it will switch bluetooth on.

I do this exact thing, but with Trigger.

Thanks, taking a look at Tasker now.

Tasker will do it nicely but tbh it's worth just leaving it on. BT hardly uses any power when not connected. I used to use Tasker but now I don't bother.

Tasker will do it but last time i tried it i wanted to cry so use llama as it's baby's first version of it

BT is worth a few % per day, a tasker type program will save you a bit.
