I have a Jabra Clipper audio player to play my MP3's & streaming internet radio to my car stereo via 3.5mm jack. I also have my Moto BT headset that I use.
When I get a call the music is interrupted and I can answer the call with the Jabra Clipper and I can hear the call audio through the car speakers. The problem is my microphone on my phone is too far away on my car dock and people can't hear me.
So after answering the call I would have to go to settings, wireless, bluetooth and disconnect the Jabra and connect my Moto headset before I can take the call.
This is a pain and takes too long, is there a widget to swap paired BT devices? I cannot find anything in the marketplace.
Maybe a Tasker profile? I have Tasker but I haven't gotten any profiles to work yet.
I have a Droid X running Liberty 1.5.
Thanks.
I don't know if this will help, but can you not have both items paired and connected at the same time? My car has bluetooth for my phone for talk only, and I just added a Tunelink device to stream my music by bluetooth in the car. I've noticed when I get in the car that both will be paired, but only the car will be connected. So I have added a bluetooth widget to my homescreen, when I get in the car I will click on the widget that opens up the bluetooth settings and click on the Tunelink to connect it, from then on out both items are connected AND paired and both will work with no problems.
I initially had the HTC settings > Bluetooth shortcut, but then when Widgetsoid added the capability to choose bluetooth settings I changed to that.

Nice! I have a Jabra Clipper too! I say that because I have not seen anyone else with one yet lol.
Ever since I switched to CM7 I have been able to 1-touch enable/disable Bluetooth and Wifi among 10 other optional, additional buttons via the status bar. I hope this bar never goes away in future updates! Anywho you could check that out for managing your bluetooth connection quickly and efficiently.
All I can say in addition to that is clicking on individual bluetooth devices in the menu allows you to disable specifically phone / media audio. You could try disabling one or the other for one of your devices so that they both work independently. I'm not really sure how else to help you because of the unique situation.
Your best bet is to make your setup less complicated, by not using one or the other device, but I saved that one for last because it isn't what you're looking to accomplish.

I use Widgetsoid but I haven't tried 2, I set up a shortcut to BT settings on my widget so far. I'll try the new version and see if it works out. Thanks.

Prior to the upgrade last week, the widget would only turn bluetooth on or off. With the update last week it added the option to have it open up the bluetooth (or wifi) options. This isn't automatic, you have to choose for it to do this in the options.
I don't know maybe the phone won't automatically connect with two items at once. It's a hassle to connect each time, but after the initial connection everything runs smoothly.
I downloaded Widetoid 2 and loaded it, now I have an BT settings icon on my switcher.
I managed to figure it out without he use of a widget, under my bluetooth settings I selected my Jabra Clipper and unchecked phone audio. Now I can connect my Clipper as media audio and my BT headset at phone audio at the same time. Now when I get a call the audio switches from the Clipper to the BT headset.
Thanks for your help.
An amazing One click - Connect 2 Specific Bluetooth device for A2DP and Phone app:
Bluetooth Pair
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gnssoftworks.bluetoothpair
found it very useful for swapping bluetooth headphones between devices WITHOUT turning off Bluetooth entirely or going into the settings menu.
Example Use Case:
I have one Stereo Bluetooth headset with mic (two profiles - phone and A2DP audio)
I have one Android Phone and one Android Tablet.
Phone Profile is always connected to the Android Phone, but the A2DP audio changes depending on which device you want to listen to music from.
Normally, if you want to listen to audio from the Tablet when your headset's A2DP profile is connected to the phone, you'd have to first go to the settings menu of the phone, and disconnect the A2DP, leaving Phone Profile connected. Then go to the settings menu on your tablet and connect the A2DP only.
Then you'd have to do the opposite if you want to listen to audio from the Phone again.
Takes a long time.
With Bluetooth Pair, you can specifically connect or disconnect to a specific device and specific profile (phone / a2dp) by widgets.
So you won't have to turn off the bluetooth completely on one device just to allow your headset to connect another device. Nor do you need to go into settings anymore.
1.) Just tap on the A2DP device specific widget on the phone to disconnect, the A2DP Profile from the phone
2.) go to the Tablet, and tap on the A2DP device specific widget to connect the A2DP profile of the headset to the Tablet
Two taps!
You saved me From buying a new stereo!

Thanks a ton! This $1.50 app saved me from having to purchase a new stereo!
Just to let you know, this solved the exact problem I was having, over five years later! Thanks!

Headphone Connect - One Click Audio is a really simple app that let's you connect / disconnect to your desired bluetooth headset.
You find it in the play store if you search for "Headphone connect - one click audio"
I realize this is an old post, but I recently released an app called ShortTooth: create customized single-click shortcuts to connect to any paired Bluetooth device.
I use it to disconnect from my home stereo when I get into the car (parked close enough to still be paired), and reconnect to my home stereo when I get back.
You could use it to create two shortcuts:
* Toggle Jabra
* Toggle Moto
Or you can create two rows:
* Connect Jabra | Discconnect Jabra
* Connect Moto | Discconnect Moto
It has a free 14-day trial.
I have two bluetooth devices in my car.
1) the factory bluetooth hands free set for phone calls
2) blackberry gateway stereo that connects to media to stream whatever im playing through my aux connection
I had a droid incredible and it would auto connect to both devices when I turned bluetooth on, it was beautiful.
Now with the Razr it only connects to the phone audio and I have to go into the bluetooth settings and click the stereo gateway for it to connect to it as well.
This is a pain, does anyone know of anyway whatsoever to have the bluetooth connect to both devices automatically when I switch bluetooth on. I do have the tasker app if that helps, but I have read that the app cannot physically connect a device.
Smart actions are worthless in this situation. The only reason I know this is possible is because I did it with a phone over 2 years old for all 2 years I had it.
Hey, been searching a lot for this kind of an App, but din find any help.
So here it is, I had been trying to revive my old PC, was able to use my fone as a WiFi receiver, and now i want to use it as a WIRED speaker.
There are Apps that allow this using Bluetooth and Wirelessly, but I was looking for something that allows through USB connection, as in my device is recognized as an Audio Output device.
Hi guys, so I have a Chinese made android deck running 4.1.2 with I guess is a custom rom from their factory. It works pretty well but they have locked the bluetooth function to only allow incoming inconnections (meaning only my phone can connect to the device). I have an OBD bluetooth transmitter that I would like to connect to the device but the "bluetooth" options menu in settings is hidden. I don't see any reason why my bluetooth OBD can't connect with the deck seeing it connects to my phone fine. Are there any workaround/apps/xposed modules that will allow me to accomplish this?
Let me know if the explanation is not clear. Thanks in advance!
I'm looking for the answer to this also... I tried looking for a bluetooth connection app with no luck. My tocado android double din is running kit kat 4.2.2 and I assume they only allow bluetooth connections for audio and only want you to buy their obd 2 device. I can go into the device settings in the torque app and see my phone and other bluetooth devices but somehow my obd device isn't reckognized... it seems they are blacklisted somehow. Has anyone tried a wifi or usb bluetooth obd2 device? Maybe that will work?
I have an Erisin ES4700FR head unit in my car running Android 5.1. I am trying to use an OBD diagnostics app (AlfaObd) and I'm having problems with connecting the app to the Elm327 Bluetooth dongle. When I want to select the bluetooth device there is a system prompt to allow the app to turn on bluetooth. When I click allow the app freezes and nothing happens. Bluetooth is already enabled although there is no BT icon on the status bar. Also Torque pro is using the dongle without any issues. Seems like only this app is asking for bluetooth access but since this is controlled by the system itself is it possible to somehow permanently grant this access to the app rather than have it constantly ask for it?
