so I've done a little searching around, but cant find exactly what I want. I have automateit set so whenever I plug my phone in, gps, WiFi, Bluetooth all turn on, what I want is, when I connect a Bluetooth device (i.e. my headset on my car) I want the my tracks app to automatically start recording my location
can tasker accomplish this? or any other taking program?
any success with this?
I use an app called Impel. Works great. The free version only allows for 2 tasks to be active, but if you get the full version, you can set to unlimited tasks. Very easy to use and works great.

I'm looking for an app (probably Tasker, but hopefully not $6!) that will invoke a profile (for instance) when I connect to a specific bluetooth device, or when car home is opened. Car Home (and every Car Home app I can find) is missing this simple option.
For instance, I have the Google Car Home set to open automatically whenever my phone is connected to the bluetooth in my car. Great. Only problem is I can't force the brightness, volume, sleep setting, etc., that I want at the same time. I would love to have Profile Valet invoke a specific profile when I am connected to a specific bluetooth device or when Car Home is open, but I don't see options as such.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks!
I believe "Setting Profiles"can use BT connections to trigger profile changes.
Hey guys, so the glitch in the OEM T-Mobile G2 rom, with the bluetooth music not working after a bluetooth call, has really got to me. I've been messing with Tasker for a while now trying to make a profile where it turns the bluetooth off and then on after a bluetooth call. Simple as that. But I can't seem to make it work. I don't want any auto-answer stuff, and I want it to do nothing if I decline or miss the call, because the music isn't affected after either of these events. Can you guys please give me an outline of the profiles, states, events, tasks, etc. that I need to create in order to make this work? I'm using the "Tasker" program. It would be nice if I can get it to connect to my bluetooth stereo headset after as well, because it usually takes a while if you just let it sit there. And then to automatically start the music again after the connection has been established. If not, just the off/on would be ok, cause if I press the play key on the bluetooth headset, it connects to the phone and starts to play the music. I just need to press it like 3 times, because for some reason the first time it always starts playing through the speaker. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
any ideas? Its possible, right?
I am trying to find a bluetooth app that will allow me to set a "default / always connect automatically" bluetooth device.
I am looking for this functionality:
- When the phone detects my car's bluetooth is in range, and it's not connected to anything else, it'll connect.
- If I turn on another bluetooth device such as my headset, it'll automatically disconnect from my car and connect to my headset
- When I turn off my headset, it'll automatically reconnect back to my car.
Currently my phone will not do this. I must manually connect/disconnect everything. Any ideas?
Takes some getting used to, but you should try an app called 'Tasker' It's kind of expensive but if you go to the devs website I think you can use it for free for like a week or so to see how it works out for ya
tasker is expensive but worth more than every cent. you can pretty much set it up ot automate anything
I got a universal Car Dock and I am trying to do everything hands-free but I am having issues:
1. I am using VLingo and when I get a call, I have to physically answer the call instead of being able to use my voice.
2. When I answer a call it does not automatically go into speakerphone mode, so I have to physically switch it.
3. When navigating to an address, VLingo voice commands no longer work, unless I manually switch.
What I would like, and I don't know if there is something out there that could help:
1. I want to use my voice to do everything from answering calls, navigating, playing music, etc.
2. When in other apps, I still would like voice commands to still work.
If anyone has any insight, or how I can configure things it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

I dunno about 100% voice control, but I recently started using a car dock too and hate the default Vlingo car app/mode. I downloaded CarHome Ultra from the market and tested for free. It can automatically disable wifi, enable bloothtooth/connect to device, automatically launch when in the car dock, you can create shortcuts to any apps. I think all voice control would be nice, but I haven't found any that were reliable
I've noticed that in my truck, I am unable to answer my phone using the button on my steering wheel when my Moto 360 is connected to the phone. I can use the controls to make phone calls but unless I dismiss the notification on the watch, I can't answer calls. Is there some setting I need to enable to fix this? So far the only way I can answer is to mute the phone or turn off the watch's Bluetooth connection - neither is idea.
If I have to mute, has anyone found a tasker plug-in that will allow me to automate this? I haven't had much luck find a tasker plug in that will allow me to mute/unmute the phone programmatically. Quite a few of the plug-ins seem to allow me to use the phone to control some function on the phone via the watch, not control the watch via the phone.
