How do I turn Bluetooth on and off? Quickly?
 
I want to turn bluetooth on and off quickly. It sucks battery life ridiculously fast. Also, when I step out of the car I want it to stop trying to connect to my car bluetooth device.

Right now I have to hit Start. Settings. Connections. Comm Manager. Blue Tooth off/on.

This is a lot of steps and it's tough while I'm driving to hit these little buttons with a stylus or my finger.

Do you have Comm Manager listed in "Programs". If so, you can just put it in your Start Menu...this is what I do, however, I'm running MightyROM 4 Final which has the Comm Manager in Programs.

I thought I saw something that someone posted that would map it the end button by holding it...Let me see what I can find.

for titanium use clauncher and the executables from HTC Launcher (bt on/off and wifi on/off) a flick and a tap and it's off. I incorporated this into my baseline rom, I think it is extremely handy.

install this cab. then add a link start menu (or any programs shortcut menu) for wifi and b/t. you push b/t 1 time it turns on, you click it again it turns off. Very useful for turnng bluetooth and wifi on and off quickly.

I love it now! I never wanted to map my end key because I like the quick launch to disable my data connection and go into flight mode.

While I've never had an issue clicking Start, Comm Manager, BT...this makes it so much quicker! I don't use the comm manager for anything by BT.

I'm working on getting there! :) :headbang:

Just an FYI, I've used qmenu for a very long time and it gives you three click access to turning wifi/bluetooth on/off and settings (among many other useful features).

I use AE Button plus. For example, you can assign a double click of the end key (or other buttons) to switch bluetooth on/off if you like.

Get a quality Bluetooth device that automatically turns on when you open it and shuts off when you close the flip like mine. I would hate having to go into the phone to turn it off and on every time.

That is what I've always done also.

I dbl click my red phone key to turn BT on/off.
