Bluetooth On/Off Widget

Dmitriy Lapayev

About this app

The widget is designed to enable/disable Bluetooth adapter, quick access to settings and list of available devices.

Implemented:
• option turn off the Bluetooth adapter when device is reboot;
• option switch types: one button or three (with buttons settings);
• ability to change the border color of the widget (for Android 2.2 and above);
• start scan for Bluetooth devices;
• ability to change the horizontal and vertical size (for Android 3.1 and above);
• option "Make discoverable" for other Bluetooth devices (button "More...").

Permission "Location" (network-based) is used to discovering available Bluetooth-devices (for Android 6.0 and above). You must enable location on the device.

Ratings and reviews

I love this App (or Widget, more precisely). It's got everything in one place, at always only one click of a distance. There is one caveat with this Widget, and only one that would make this perfect (or darn near close): It's the Battery consumption of this Widget, and there doesn't seem to be any option to try and regulate this aspect. Bluetooth On/Off Widget is always listed in my top 3 Apps that consume the most Battery when I look at my Battery history. Just this one thing...

Love the simplicity. Hate the size. I just wanted a widget to turn my Bluetooth on and off easily and quickly. This does it. BUT. It is 1 x 2. Takes up too much real estate. Can you make it 1 x 1?

Installed yesterday. Connected to my vehicle and when I look it doesn't show that it's connected to anything. It shows the three Bluetooth devices including the vehicle it was connected but no confirmation of that in the widget. Also I prefer one top turn on. I like the app but seems to be an obvious feature on mission to me

What's new

Widget ready for Android 12. Added the ability to change the horizontal and vertical size. Implemented the option "Make discoverable" for other Bluetooth devices.
