When I set my Shutdown Delay When ACC Off to anything but zero, the bluetooth stays on when I turn off my car. I usually connect my bluetooth headphones when getting out of the car, but my iPhone reconnects to the headunit unless I'm really far away. I don't want to lose the convenience of the delayed shut down nor the convenience of auto connecting when I first get in my car. So, I've tried to create a Tasker profile that will turn off bluetooth, but I can't seem to find the right parameters. Any idea how to have bluetooth turn off when the headunit first enters Delayed Shutdown?
FYI: I'm on the latest Malaysk ROM.
I would be interested in a solution to this as well.
I think what you are looking for is a sleep or shutdown intent. I have a vague memory of someone talking about this in the origional very long thread. Might be worth searching throu that for intent or intents.
Any update regarding this issue?

I found this really awesome APP in the market to automatically turn Bluetooth on and off when your on a call. This allow great power savings by having access to your bluetooth speakerphone or headset without having bluetooth enabled all day draining power.
I've tested it out to some great extent over the past few days and I must say that it is pretty awesome and should come as a stock option in the future.
The program is pretty simple with 2 check boxes: Enable while on call and Enabled with Powered.
The first option is the main one and will enable bluetooth once you receive or make a call. This allows you to simple just turn on your headset or auto connect without any user intervention. The program will also automatically turn bluetooth once the call has ended.
The second option could also be a great one if you are a heavy bluetooth headset user that never takes it off. This option turns on bluetooth every time it is on a charge, so at night you can dock the device or plug it in, then continue to wear your headset to take calls when needed. This option can also be replaced by a NFC tag but works well enough without requiring a tag. One example would be in your car. Plug your device up and it can auto connect to your bluetooth device.
Pretty impressed with the app and it will end up making my normal install list. The app is free on the market and well worth a download if you use bluetooth for any headset or speakerphone.

Bluetooth on Call
Whats the name? or add a link
It's a surprise! J/k.
It was lunch time and I forgot to post the link before rushing out to eat. Updated OP. I didn't make it or endorse it, but it is just a handy little app. When I first installed it, it wasn't shutting down bluetooth properly... so it would turn on and stay on. But after an update it works as it should.
Do you find bluetooth to use a lot of battery power when on idle (not on an active call)? I find it doesn't really impact my battery at all. I do question if an app like this can have a negative effect on the Bluetooth headset you're using, since it's constantly looking to make a connection when there's no connection to be had... Like the battery drain experienced when a phones cell ratio has to poll for new towers when the signal is low or dead.

thats a good question....
Not at all. The bluetooth simply turns OFF completely on your phone... it isn't sitting idle or anything. The program simply toggles bluetooth on and off like you would otherwise in settings manually.
For the headset, it shouldn't have any negative affect either. If you have your headset physically turned on, but not connected, it will usually go into a hibernate mode to save power.
But here is my situation and how I use my headset:
I don't wear it all day. I have it in my car door handle. I answer the phone manually like always. I get a lot of calls and most are quick. While I'm driving, if I know the call is going to be long or if I want to be handsfree, I simply turn on my headset and put it on. By that time, my phone's bluetooth is already activated and seeking a connection. The headset doesn't know any difference. Once I'm done, the phone turns off bluetooth and I turn off my headset.
If you were to wear your headset ALL day, and like to answer your calls handsfree... then this might not work because there wouldn't be enough time for your headset to connect before the caller goes to VM.
If your a heavy bluetooth user, then obviously leave BT turned on all day. If you have a headset and like to use it occasionally while on calls, this app is great. With this app, all you have to worry about it turning on your headset and putting it in your ear. Once it connects, the call will be transferred to the headset and you can retire your phone.
I haven't tested how well it works having the ear piece already turned on and ready to go but I would suspect that you would have to manually answer it from the phone. It just depends on how fast your headset and phone connect to each other.
My issue today is that my bluetooth will not pair properly and remember its configurations. My initial pairing on my phone with my car's flexsmart X3 works perfect, however when I turn off my bluetooth on the phone or turn off my car and turn it back on the phone will still see the flexsmart and it will say it is paired but I get no sound. Upon further investigating I find that in the options setting that neither the call nor music tick box is checked. If I try to tick them it will think for a few seconds and then gray out and do nothing again.
I never had a problem with my note 2 or my temp replacement evo 3d remembering these settings. All I would do with those phones was pair it once and then any time I hopped in the car I would just turn onm,y phone's bluetooth and go. Now with my note 4 I have to unpair and repair the devices each and every time which is a huge pain.
I have read a little bit that this is due to samsung note 4 using a newer bluetooth standard than its predecessors. Is there anyway to circumvent this issue by maybe rolling back the bluetooth drivers or something? I even thought about creating a tasker profile to help with this but still I would have to physically press the search button on the flexsmart eachtime.
Any and all suggestions would be great. Also right now I am on rooted stock 5.0.1
PS: I will try and post some photos to help when I get the chance to get to my car.
I've been start for a solution to this since the phone came out as well. I have the same Bluetooth issues with my phone in my car. Nothing more annoying than having to turn Bluetooth on and off for 10-15 minutes of your drive before you can use the damn thing. Oh wait, more annoying would be when it's been working for a solid 45 minutes or so and then suddenly, with no warning, the Bluetooth connection ends for no reason and your cars stereo comes on instead of what you were streaming only the volume on the cars radio is far louder and it scares the ever living crap out of you

Odd....I dont seem to have that issue. Once I have initially paired the bluetooth it will stay connected without any interruptions. Also pairing for me is really fast and only takes a minute or so. My problem is that instead of my phone remembering the current device settings that it is paired with, it will forget to associate it with calls and data after I turn the bluetooth off and then later back on even though the phone will still remember it is paired with the car bluetooth.
First world problems I know but it gets a tad annoying having to unpair and repair my phone each and everytime I hop in my car to go somewhere if I want to listen to my music.
In the car I don't get a lot of skipping. But when connected to my BT speakers audio does skip a lot and starts playing in ffw then disconnects completely. It's driving me nuts. I've tried all the usual trouble shooting also. No help. Wtf Samsung/Google
I can see this discussion has come up many times before but never seem to have a fix, atleast i cant find one. my s20 ultra unlocked android 11 when i connect to my cars bluetooth radio works fine. but when i turn off the car and turn it back on it wont reconnect. i go into bluetooth settings and click connect but says im unable to. so i a, stuck having to unpair and factory resetting my car radio and having to re add my phone for it to work. i have tried factory resetting my phone. changing bluetooth avrcp version from 1.6 to 1.4. i also enabled "turn off A2DP hardware offload" as other forums have stated to try but none worked. anyone know a fix or if it also happens to them? so frustrating. thanks in advance.
Old school easy way...
If the car audio doesn't draw too much current at idle hot switch it and put a Battery Buddy on the battery to switch it off if it gets too low.
The problem is likely on the car side as Samsung bt devices seamlessly reconnects. No idea how though... fortunately I never had to hunt that down.

Make sure power management isn't active on the phone. It maybe auto enabled either globally or for bt. It maybe a Samsung bt settings issue; Samsung is notorious for hidden menus, sometimes completely unmarked... start tapping on things
Play with it... you'll sort it out.
Hey everyone.
This is my first android headunit, Xtrons PQS1053BL with Android 10.0 for my BMW E53.
2 issues I have and I am wonderring if its just how these units normally operate, could be changed in settings, or they are faults in the unit I have.
1. The Wifi. I have a 4g usb data dongle pluggeed in for the wifi, it works fine when connected, but every time I turn the car off and the unit reboots or goes to sleep, the wifi turns off and needs to be restarted in settings. If I look in settings the wifi is actually switched off after sleep or reboot. Sometimes when I am drving the wifi will just switch off to, not lose connection, just switch off.
I would have thought just like a phone or laptop, the wifi would just be on and autoconnect from boot? Is this normal or a fault or am I missing somthing in the settings? I have spent a lot of time in the settings and also trying to google to issue. Would be great to have a wifi always on option.
2. If I have been listening to the radio or bluetooth audio when I turn the car off, it will always boot to this app first. This is an issue as I am running Ibus-app and I need this to boot first so the functions will work when I start the car. Even if I have another app in the foreground running while radio is going, it will always select the radio or BT audio as prioity on boot instead of the app I was using .
Is there a way I can stop the unit from booting to its last state? just so its a fresh boot each time?
I cant find a setting for this either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
If I have been listening to the radio or bluetooth audio when I turn the car off, it will always boot to this app first.i love this radilo in the song.
I'm on miui 13 and I have annoying issues, the device's bluetooth which unable to auto connect with car's head unit. The only way out is to unpair then pair them again. That being said, if bluetooth turned off, it can auto connect as long as car's engine still on. That did not happen to miui 12.5 which rapidly auto-connect. Anybody has any idea how to fix this?
BMW NBT?
I also have this problem. With iphone works properly.
I managed to get it fixed by putting the car audio in bluetooth connection mode, go to bluetooth app then toggle allow fullscreen app. In connect state it will disconnect then reconnect. In our case, it'll force connect to nearby previously connected device. That leaves another issue, which is media info won't update. So we kinda stuck with first song info or podcast title, then it won't refresh. Probably due to xiaomi policy to limit data transfer or simply unresolved bug. Luckily I have Samsung device which I use most of the time in this regard.
