Hello, I need to change the device name of my Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet in order for certain bluetooth devices to connect, but I can't seem to find this option in the settings. Would anyone know where this option is under the settings menu. As of right now my device name is Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet and it needs to be much shorter. any help would be appreciated thanks.
Go to settings --> Bluetooth ---> Turn on Bluetooth ---> Click on the drop-down menu on the far top right (it looks like 3 vertical dots) click on rename tablet.

Hi all,
Can't seem to find a solution to this problem after searching.
Is there any way to directly link to the Bluetooth settings menu (HTC Sense Settings Page > All Settings > Bluetooth) via a Quicklink?
I have the Bluetooth toggle, which is great, but it's simply on & off, rather than device settings (i.e. turning on my bluetooth stereo audio each time I get in the car / turn the key is pretty long-winded using the current method as opposed to a shortcut taking you directly to the Bluetooth device settings).
If you have any ideas, it'd be great to hear them.
Thanks in advance.

search for , "create shortcut control panel item", but in the mean time
Unzip the attached file, copy it to your device memory \windows\Start Menu\programs, you can make another folder there if you want, apps or whatever ...
a Bluetooth settings will then show up so you can create a shortcut ...
see the link in my sig for the how why and what of shortcuts to control panel items.
Any one is familiar with an app or widget for quick shortcut to a specific bluetooth device (lets say my BT headset or my stereo) and pair to it with 1 click from the homescreen?
and maybe another toggle click would unpair it.
I want to put 3 shortcuts on my homescreen for each BT device so I'd have it quicker.. instead of going to settings>Bluetooth>and pair manualy the one.
I've tried to search on market and google but seems like the dev's ideas was only to short me up into the bluetooth settings and not to a specific user..
Thanks,
Yarden.

Well, there isn't anything (I think) that let's you select the device directly from the homescreen. However, you could use something like QuickTooth, at least you save a couple of steps since you only press the icon on the homescreen and are directly in the bluetooth settings. It won't be 1 click, but 2
Well, as I thought..
But I must say that your app is the nicest and easiest of all that I tried.. fits exactly for my purpose, the others just do another million things which I don't need.
So thank you!
If still someone else might find the one, don't hesitate to show it up here

:good: There is solution - combination of free tools:
first of all pair all your BT devices in your BT settings
install "Llama" (great and free app for any everyday automation needs and it support Locale plugins!) ... or other such tool (Locale, Tasker)
install "Bluetooth Auto Connect" (by Jakub Klos) from Play store - it has build-in plugins for Locale and Tasker
create homescreen shortcut, select Llama, then choose "Custom event actions" from the list ... you are now in in Llama shortcut setup:
tap "Llama shortcut name" and name it (for example I have 2 shortcuts named: "BT repro", "BT headphone")
tap "Add action" button (down on screen), scroll to and choose "Bluetooth" and then choose "Bluetooth On" - this will turn on BT first (yes, you don't have to turn it on - the shortcut will take care of it too )
tap again "Add action" button (down on screen), scroll to and choose "Locale plugin" and then you should see "Bluetooth Auto Connect" - tap it - now you are in "Bluetooth Auto Connect" app, set it up as follows :
"All devices" should be UNchecked so you can select concrete "Device"
"Profile action" should be "Connect"
"Media audio" and "Call audio" is up to you ...
now all is set and you need to just hit phone "Back" button until you are on your homescreen and Llama shortcut should be sitting right there
now repeat all steps to create second, third, ... shortcut With decent launcher you can customize even the icons of shortcuts.
And final tip: install "Widgetsoid" and you can create your widgets (2x1, 3x1, 4x1, ...) - add any system "toggles" like wifi, brightness etc... and you can add there "homescreen shortcuts" too - widgetsoid can display comfortably 6 to 8 toggles/icons in one 4x1 (screen width) widget so you save precious space
And after all this works, you should deep dive in Llama and use it for your daily automation (time/location based volume profiles etc.).
Don't forget to rate all these apps - they all deserve it ...
Ave to wireless music!
Works once, then dud!
Hi whiteowl,
I tried this method on my phone, which has jellybean 4.2.2.
This method works flawlessly for one time. The bluetooth starts and device pairs automatically.
But after that, it doesn't connect to the device at all.
Any solution to this?
Install QuickShortcutMaker. Navigate to Activities. Select "Settings" to display all Settings activities. Them select "com. android.settings/com.samsung.andriod.settings.bluetooth.BluetoothScanDialog. Click Create. Done!
I released an Android app this year called ShortTooth for this exact problem. Create customized single-click shortcuts to connect to any paired Bluetooth device. One of the screenshots shows 3 different shortcuts for different devices. It has a free 14-day trial.
I'm looking for internal/alpha/beta testers if you (or anyone) is interested. The app will be free for internal and alpha testers.

Awesome! I'm new to XDA developers, so I'm not sure what the best way to trade info is -- I'll need your google account email. You can send an email to the email listed on the app page ([email protected]), and I'll add you to the list, and we can go from there. Also since I'm new, I can't post links yet, so you'll have to search for it on Google Play by the exact name.
I'll do some beta testing. I just downloaded it from playstore.

Hello,
I've installed the miniCM 10 on my x10 mini.
It works fine except that a circle is displayed on the touch screen to represent the select area. It seems to simulate the dual touch function.
However, I don't find this behaviour convenient (or I don't know how to use it). Therefore, I would like to deactivate this behaviour to make it work as the original ROM (select the icon under the finger).
I've tried to install the cypress hotfix, however, it does not work.
Goto settings - dev settings
And find the option show pointer location and disable it

Hey guys, this thread was made to uncover some of very useful but subtle tricks when using your Xperia Z Ultra. Might come handy with any other Xperia series but for now just for our XZU only. If there are any other tips, please post it freely and i'll coup into the OP :fingers-crossed:
Turn On LockScreen Widget (KitKat only)
Go To Settings -> Security -> Enable Widgets
Some Connectivity Toggle Button in Notification Bar can be long pressed to get advanced setting shortcut(KitKat only)
Now you can Shoot Video Underwater securely with Touch Blocker Small App (Kitkat Only)
Turn Off Background Data while on Mobile Data Per App
Go To Settings -> Data Usage -> click one of listed app there -> Check Restrict Background Data
Mount Your Xperia in MTP mode wirelessly to your Windows Computer(KitKat only)
Go to Settings -> Xperia Connectivity -> USB Connectivity -> WIreless Media Transfer -> Pair With PC
Follow Instruction Given by the phone (e.g. Connect To USB, Right Click on the Phone icon on the Windows Explorer -> Manage Connection)
Next time you're on the same Wifi network with the PC, just go to the same menu, tap the saved computer and press connect.
Mount a Shared folder into Your Xperia
Share a folder in your computer/NAS, preferably as an SFTP share
Go to Settings -> Storage -> Remote Shares
Click New Host, Choose SFTP share
put Display name with any name you like to identify
Put the IP Address on the Host Field
Put "/" (or any other specific FTP folder e.g. "/Backup") into Remote Path
Put SFTP login info into username and password field
When Done, just go back one menu, and then switch it on
Enhance the Caller Voice
Go To Settings -> Call Settings
set Equalizer to Bright/Smooth, Can be adjusted while taking/receiving a call too
Check the Speaker Voice Enhancement
Activate Caption For Video (Kitkat Only)
Go To Settings -> Accessibility -> Captions -> Turn On

I think the Wireless MTP is also KitKat only - I don't have that option in 4.3

Cry me a river then babe..
I for once doesn't have time to go around the settings menu, and finding these facts myself is the reason why i'm posting it. Maybe somebody like me doesn't know about such things.
THankyou for the OP, I did know about them all but hadn't bothered to try and find the wifi usb one - should be handy
Hey, thanks, I didn't know a couple of those!

To take a screenshot hold power and volume down key at the same time.
By the way, if that's you in the profile picture, you look great. Just a compliment. :laugh:
