About Bluetooth Autoconnect

Bluetooth Autoconnect is an application and widget that allows you to stream music simply via bluetooth.

Upon first time launching the APPLICATION or initially adding the WIDGET to your home screen you simply choose your favourite paired device for streaming music to via A2DP (stereo bluetooth).
Your chosen device is then taken as your preferred option for future use, so that with one click the app shortcut or widget will switch on bluetooth and connect to your device ready for you to start streaming via your favourite media player application.

Should you wish to change the device set as you favourite just press the 'Change Preferred Device' button on the app splash screen or remove the widget from your home screen and re-add.

NOTE: THE DEVICE YOU WANT TO CONNECT MUST SUPPORT A2DP. They can be things such as stereo personal headsets and car stereos.

-If you are having problems, check out the website for assistance or contact me and maybe I can help. Please don't just rate it with 1 star and say it doesn't work as this doesn't help anyone and I can't contact you to give you any help. (Particularly if you are using a device which does not support A2DP!)
-If you have a bug or suggestion, contact me and I may be able to change it.

Future enhancement:
Depending upon the level of interest telephony functionality can be added to this application - currently not supported.

Note: Currently available at a discounted price.

Works as advertised on galaxy player 4.0. I use this with all my Bt audio devices... saves a few presses each time connecting. Would be better if it could shut Bt off when the device disconnects (e.g., shut off the car and Bt on the galaxy player shuts off automatically). Would be nice to have a 4x1 widget for multiple Bt devices. Also to let the user assign custom labels for each device (e.g., 'Subaru' instead of 'CAR M_MEDIA'). Deserves a prettier icon.

Bluetooth off, click widget, attempts to connect, fails to find device, shuts off bluetooth. If I simply cycle the BT on the phone myself, the device pairs without a problem...

Does what it says but could use some polish such as better icon and a popup rather than switching to a black screen while attempting to connect.

I have had this auto-connect app for about a month and it has worked exactly as described. It will auto-connect my Virgin Mobile Optimus V to my car stereo. I combined this app with Tasker in order to have a one button start for Pandora in the car.

Realmente mala y lo peor que se paga, no boten dinero en ella.

Installs and works (EXACTLY as indicated on the developer's web site) on both my HTC Sensation 4G and my wife's LG Galaxy2x. In reading the reviews it is clear that most (all?) of the 1-star reviews are by people who either are using incompatible devices (no a2dp), didn't follow the instructions or didn't bother to read the FAQ at the developer's web site. I gave it 4 stars because there are a couple things I would change: 1 - it assumes you want your bt turned off when you disconnect from an a2dp device - but I want an option to leave my bt on (the drain on my batt is not even noticable so I want bt ALWAYS ON). 2 - it needs to be removed from the homescreen and replaced and then associated with a specific device after each restart of your phone - gets annoying if you restart your phone often. 3 - I have several a2dp devices (car, home, office, headphones, etc) that I'd love to use this with but, at present, it only allows one association and thereafter always assumes that's the device you want to connect to. I'd like to put several separate buttons, each with a custom title for the desired a2dp device, onto my homescreen.

This app has two critical flaws that make it not worth a download: 1) It "forgets" the assigned BT device after any restart, meaning you have to remove the widget, add, reassign, etc. The developer acknowledges this is a bug, but 2 weeks later it still is not fixed. 2) The app assumes that you only ever want to use BlueTooth for audio streaming...so any time you press the button and BlueTooth is currently enabled, instead of connecting to the desired connection (assuming it is working...see above) it shuts off your BlueTooth. Meaning you have to wait, then press again. In the mean time, any connected headsets you might be using are going to loose connection, so you are driving down the road missing calls and such... The developer considers this 2nd problem a "feature". Either way, this is a half-baked app as of 12/22 so maybe check back.

It works perfectly as long as you read the FAQ. I would like to see integration of this with Tasker so I can automate this with my other profiles.

Back on my evo 4G (non LTE) this app was great for connecting my phone to my car, computer, my other computer, etc. It worked perfectly for my needs with multiple devices. Now I cant get it to connect to anything and I can't make more than one widget with my Samsung galaxy s3. Please update this app! EDIT: After deleting it and reinstalling it I am able to get multiple widgets again, however it still says it cannot connect

This app works very well on my Galaxy S Wifi 4.2 and is highly recommended as it saves you from going into the menu settings. Those who have problems should contact the developer instead of moaning here. I use it to connect to my Bluetooth speakers (Sony SRS-BTV25 and Divoom BLUETN): Switch the speaker on, tap the app and you are ready to play music. When finished, just tap the app again to turn Bluetooth off. UPDATE: It does not work with my Galaxy S3, my Sony Ericsson Live with ICS, nor with my wife's Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch tablet. I have emailed the developer but he has had no luck.

Paid for an app that doesn't work. Wonders how to get a refund. Says "Connection failed". Installed another app that was FREE and it works perfectly.

K70%
by K####:

All this app does is toggles your Bluetooth setting on and off. Just like the bluetooth widget that comes standard. But it remembers your bluetooth device. Took more then the 15 minute refund period to set up.

T70%
by T####:

First of all, the app works just as the description and FAQs say it does. For all of those that have problems getting to work on there device, here is a suggestion: Contact the developer and let them know, or try a alternate app. Do you know how hard it is to get something to work with multiple version of android, multiple manufactures, and multiple skins. Sometimes it takes the right feedback from the community to learn of compatibility issues. Why give a 1 star rating just because it doesn't work with your device. That is just like saying that diesel fuel sucks because I have an unleaded fuel only car. Why criticize a better product just because you cant use it. 5 stars for simplicity, functionality, cheap price, regular updates

Awesome, but you a compatible device (stereo, not mono.) Read his FAQs for the absolute best written instructions on the market. Excellent app, great support.

T70%
by T####:

this app is slower than "bluetooth pair" which does the same thing, but is more lightweight & has a nicer looking icon. this app stopped working w/ ISC on my droid 4. I would avoid this app as the developer does not really respond to inquiries & does not provide support for the app.

K70%
by K####:

Motorola Droid 3 -- Was looking for a widget to enable my BlueTooth then auto-connect to a paired device at the same time, this app nailed it spot on. Feature Request 1: Have a widget "Toggle BlueTooth then auto search for devices then auto connect to anything it finds" so that as a user with multiple BlueTooth devices. I only have one device on at a time I'm connecting to (Truck radio, motorcycle helmet, etc) so this would remove the need for multiple widget toggles for each BlueTooth device. The auto-search and connect would more or less be an attempt to connect to each device in sequence and if not connected attempt the next device. Feature Request 2: One thing I'd like to see that'd make it even better would be to color code the widget based on status (Red icon = BlueTooth off & Blue or Green icon = Bluetooth on and connected) as another visual. Couple minor feature additions and it'd be hands down a 5-star amazing app for me, 4 stars currently. App does exactly what it says it does and does it very easily with minimal permission requirements.
