About Hot Spot Starter Free
Have you ever been tired of switching on WiFi tethering manually when your smartphone connects to your in-dash car handsfree unit via Bluetooth. This App brings the solution, the missing Android feature.
This App will start the WiFi hot spot of your mobile automatically as soon as it gets connected via Bluetooth to your in-dash car unit (or any other Bluetooth device).
The free version includes the following features:
- Automatically starts WiFi hot spot when connecting to a Bluetooth device
- WiFi state will always be restored automatically after Bluetooth disconnect
This features are available in the paid version only:
- Start selected Apps with the hot spot (basically means, start specific apps like radar warners everytime you enter your car and bluetooth connects to the handsfree unit)
- Several setup options like shutdown bluetooth at disconnect, select specific bluetooth devices only
You get the paid Version at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.thjunge11.autohotspot
Just start the App once to set it up. After that it will run in the background doing the "work" for you.
Tested with the following devices (make / model / Android version):
Samsung / Galaxy Note 3 / Android 4.4.2
Motorola / Moto G / Android 4.4.4
HTC / One X+ / Android 4.2.2
If you encounter problems with the app with your smartphone please send me an email. I will get back to you soon.

I really like the Simplicity of the app. Unfortunately it didn't work properly Nexus 6p running nougat. Hopefully there's a workaround in future builds so it will work with nougat. It appeared to work but there would be no internet connectivity even though hotspot was active after switch. Turing hotspot off manually then back on again brought back the internet connectivity.

Worked on Nexus 5x on 7.1.2, but my Oneplus 3 on 7.1.1 does nothing when bluetooth connection made. Any ideas if there's something I can configure on my side or if this app could be updated?

Works fine on S3 and also S4 with Lollipop. Payed version can be restricted to react on a single bluetooth device. Recommended Just perfect in my car to switch on the hotspot.

Can't get it to work with Android 5.0 on Galaxy S5. Auto shuts off wifi but won't auto start hot spot. Have emailed the author. Update 2/23/2015: Never heard back from the author.
