About Bluetooth Pair

Bluetooth Pair is a home screen widget that enables or disables Bluetooth profiles on your Android device. Bluetooth Pair works with two profiles found on most Android devices, the A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) and the HSHFP (Headset/Hands-free Profile).

How to use Bluetooth Pair? Simple, make sure your Android device can handle at least one of those mentioned Bluetooth profiles (A2DP or/and HSHFP), go to "Bluetooth Settings" ("Settings" -> "Wireless & networks" -> "Bluetooth Setting" or "Settings" -> "Bluetooth"). Pair with the desired device (a car audio system for example) and make sure you can enable or disable the Bluetooth profiles. The way this is done varies from device to device, see your owners manual.

Ok, so you can handle at least one Bluetooth profile and your Android device is configured and working to pair with your desired Bluetooth device. Now do a long touch on your home screen to choose the widget and then select Bluetooth Pair, select a Bluetooth Profile, select a paired Bluetooth device and that's it. An icon with the name of your device will appear on the home screen. When the profile is turned on the icon will be colorful otherwise black & white. Toggle on/off the Bluetooth profile by touching on the widget. You can have many Bluetooth Pair widgets on your home screen.

NOTES:
- Make sure your device can handle at least one of those mentioned Bluetooth profiles.
- Some devices may require at least once a PIN number to get paired, when that happens an input PIN screen will appear.
- The widget has been tested on Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich using phones from Samsung, Sony and Motorola.

Don't waste your money like I did this app does not work!

Q70%
by Q####:

I can only get this app to connect to my LG sound bar if I first turn off and then turn on Bluetooth. That totally negates the benefit of the widget. Fix it please!

Works very well. I would like to see support added for renaming devices.

Does not work on all devices. I have a "YET-M" car audio aux adapter that gives me this error, "Unable to pair with YET-M" when I try to connect or disconnect using this widget. I have "YET-M" setup to connect audio only. Also, I set-up my "Motorola Roadster 2" using the "Phone" option of the widget and when it is connected the icon changes to an "Audio and Phone" icon even though it is connected using "Phone" only. Works great with my "Jabra PRO 9470" using "Phone" option.

Connects OK but need to be able to rename widget for each device. Should also toggle BT off when disconnecting. Fix this and 5 stars.

Worked perfectly when too lazy to set to pairing mode. Saves valuable seconds which could mean the difference of a lost call if headset bound

Doesn't work with my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 running Lollipop.

It is unable to connect correctly to the headset, but system itself has no issues doing so.

Please refund. This does not work with android 5 on my Nexus 6.

Works as described. Galaxy nexus.

Only one so far that reliably connects BT to my car audio, and I've tried dozens of them.

M70%
by M####:

Works perfectly for audio and phone. How about an option for both audio and phone in 1 click?

Z70%
by Z####:

Worth every penny...

E70%
by E####:

Finally something that works with my Volkswagen Jetta. My car supports a2dp and hands free Bluetooth audio from my phone. When I listen to the car radio and not music through a2DP then my car will not disconnect a2DP. Thus when my phone is paired to the phone for calls and I'm using GPS it thinks I am connected to my car and I have no GPS audio through the phone nor the car because the car is on radio not on Bluetooth a2dp. this app allows me to turn off a2 DP only while leaving bluetooth handsfree on.

Just what I was looking for. Saves time and effort! Would like option to rename icon.

create widget that turn on bluetooth & autoconnect to a paired device w/ one click! seems super lightweight w/o an app. very fast connecting to device. can make multiple widgets for different bt devices. however, does not automatically turn off bluetooth on unpairing. try the app "bluetooth autoconnect" as well. developer does not respond to emails.

J70%
by J####:

Needs ability to rename once you make a widget. And not sure why but in ics under widgets I see two. One works perfect so far. The other (which I must have used first) didnt work very well at all. Same exact name in widgets so hard to tell what's going on! But other than the inability to rename this works perfect for me.

Y70%
by Y####:

Worked great, now just shows connection status but no control to connect or disconnect. Back to square one

X70%
by X####:

Works pretty well for me. Like others I use it to switch off A2DP so that I can listen to my car radio and still get my phone calls via the hands free on the head unit.

Y70%
by Y####:

I use it to reconnect to my headset when it doesn't like to automatically. Works great. Also, great to be able to switch the a2dp profile to my PC and listen to the music through my PC's connected sound system. Great!

Does not work on 4.2.1! Needs An update badly.

Took me a while to find an app with this functionality, but I need to be able to rename the BT devices. Please update app with this capability.

Worked perfectly on my S2 but after getting an S4 I've found that it fails every time try to connect.

Only thing I've found that works thus easily on my Droid 3

Works properly on ICS

A simple one touch on & off widget to turn my Bluetooth on & connect to my device so I can start streaming audio. Well worth the money. Would be great to be able to rename widget, also to have the option to turn off your phone Bluetooth on disconnect.

by Y####:

Thanks for making this app it was just what I was looking for. If possible could you do the same thing but with out the use of a widget to not use up screen real estate it would be great. Once more thanks a bunch.
