Having a small but annoying issue here.
I find that if I turn on wifi with widgets or quickpanel in SystemUI, the wifi will take very long, or sometimes never auto connect. However, opening up settings and pressing scan results in instant connection.
Thanks in advance.
Rom and kernel?

Is there any app/widget that enables bluetooth and at the same time disables wifi and data?
I need a widget that can do that...
Thanks
Quick settings is my best suggestion. Combine with quick battery to launch = excellent.

How can I do that? I was travelling in an unknown location yesterday and was using GMaps, but when the screen was going off GPS was losing its connection and it was re-established after some seconds, it was annoying and time consuming. Not only GMaps, other GPS related applications also react the same way! Could anything be done? Anyone?
Thanks in advance.

If you are using Google Maps without the "Navigation" like i do because of the country restrictions then you are right; GPS goes off with the screen. But if you have 3rd party navigation apps, like Sygic or Route 66, then they either do not allow the screen to sleep or do not let GPS turn off even if the app is minimised in the background.
But if you still want to use your Maps there was this app which you can select the apps and when those apps are on on the foreground it prevents the screen from turning off. But i can not remember the name. If i can find it i will post here.
'KeepScreen' available at Play Store. Just search for it.

What happens when you have My Tracks recording in the background?

Use backitude from Play Store to control gps usage

Yes, I've seen My Tracks keeps steady gps signal when screen is on, but it loses it's stability when screen is off, it's really annoying!
@Others: Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try them both and give feedback.
PS: Backitude is meant for Google Latitude! I don't use Latitude, so it'll do no good for me.

I recently purchased a Sony Liveview watch and an LG bluetooth headset. While the headset worked well, I noticed the Liveview would disconnect frequently.
Long story short, I believe an app called Liveview manager must have somehow taken away Bluetooth privileges, because now, the bluetooth symbol is green, but the button itself is greyed out. Whenever you touch it, it goes into the bluetooth menu and stays there, as if it's looking for bluetooth connectivity.
I'm running rooted stock 4.1.2...
Any help?

Try clearing data for Bluetooth Share and reboot.

No it will not, it will use wifi to get location only IF wifi is on and only when an app needs to determine your location.
I can't seem to find GPS shortcut for the pull-down menu after I did the KitKat update. Did they remove it or am I just blind and cannot find it?
Its called location. If you don't see that then scroll all the way to the right and click on edit and look for location. If its already checked then try toggling it off and back on

I just figured that out. I really liked having 1 click GPS on and off. Now its 3 clicks. Oh well I guess I'll get used to it.
How is it 3 clicks? Once its on your notification panel you just toggle on/off with one click

Doing that also turns off the cell and Wi-Fi location services. I was just looking for the quick GPS sensor toggle.
Yeah it depends if you want to keep it on a certain mode. Thus far using the battery saving mode has still given me accurate GPS location. I haven't tried using navigation with it though so not sure if that would work just as well or not.
