#145550 — Shortcut to Bluetooth Tethering?

I must have asked the same question a long time ago, but no answers that
solved my problem. Maybe today?

I have a Toyota Yaris Hybrid (2019) which comes with Coyote and a GPS
that benefits from connection to the Internet. Unfortunately, this model
doesn't work with a hotspot on a smartphone, but uses Bluetooth
Tethering.

So far, so good, but the problem is that BT Tethering 'hangs' when I
turn off the engine and my smartphone heats up (also BT is blocked). So
every time I have to manually go to Settings > Network and Internet >
Hotspot and Tethering and turn off (and on) Bluetooth Tethering.

This bug hasn't been fixed over the years and way in the past there was
an app specifically for BT Tethering, but I can't use that anymore.
Can't create a widget either.

Is there a way around this, so I can go directly to the BT Tethering
settings? I'm using a Pixel 6, Android 15, all updates installed.

I spent many hours writing the tutorial for exactly how to do this.
It's in the archives so you should be able to find it in a search.

In addition, I posted a lot of the same information to XDA because I'm a
kind-hearted helpful person who cares to extend knowledge to everyone.

Got a suggestion for an online Usenet Archive? All I can find is
usenetarchives.com which doesn't allow searching (also, archive stops
after 2022).

This shows me it's possible, but complicated. (-: I'll give it a go.

It's actually easy.

I have written many tutorials on this subject but people don't read.

Here's the summary for you since I'm a helpful person to the bone
(but I'm frustrated that it has to be repeated so many times on this ng).

1. Install & open Muntashirakon App Manager (many threads on this).
2. Find the Android SETTINGS package listed inside of Muntashirakon.
3. Go to the "Activities" section and find the activity you seek.
4. Tape the button to create a homescreen shortcut to that activity.

That's it. How hard is that?

Just point the link to the howto. Saying that you wrote it here is not 
valid. Of course we don't search what you call the archive. If you have 
useful tutorials, just post them on a fixed known site, properly 
formatted and indexed.

It's also pointless to state "he" has done them because no-one knows under
which particular nym was used at the time. Makes it very difficult to find.

Exactly. I've pointed this out to him in the past, but his paranoia gets
the better of him. Being a known person in the internet is not the same as
giving up your privacy. Just ask Satoshi Nakamoto ;)

And terribly long threads, and additions... very long and tedious to 
find information.

I only consider tutorials as valid if posted in a fixed website, 
properly indexed and formatted.

But maybe he has to sign with a name, LOL.

I'm frustrated that almost everyone (save for Andy) is a moron on this ng.

The tutorial in question was not only posted to this newsgroup, 
but it was also posted to XDA which is exactly what you say you read.

Why didn't you read that tutorial first, before claiming it isn't valid?

XDA is a forum? Then I will not read it.

Because you did not post a static link.

I gave the link to XDA forums for God's sake Chris.

Do you at least see why I'm frustrated that people like you exist here?

Other than Andy, the rest of you are utter morons - devoid of intelligence.

You claim a link that exists doesn't exist for Heaven's sake.

Who is *that* stupid?

Your link provided me with a lot text... in English... which isn't my
native language. Also, after experiencing psychosis twice reading and
concentrating isn't as easy as it was.

You asked a question that has been answered a billion times already.

I spend hours and hours writing a tutorial with many annotated images.
So that people like you can do, in seconds, what took me days to learn.

And then you act like that?

Do you at least see why I'm frustrated trying to help people like you?

I'm sorry, I've never seen postings about how to make a shortcut to
Bluetooth Tethering.

Again, I was - specifically - searching for a shortcut to Bluetooth
Tethering. There used to be a app in Google Play Store that did this.

It's /your/ reaction that made me react like that. You're basically
calling everyone on this newsgroup a moron (except yourself, of course)
because apparently we missed the most important posting of the century.

This is a frustrating question to answer because the answer has been stated
a billion times in this newsgroup - which is very frustrating to me.

If I give you the answer a billion more times, will you remember it?

It's this easy:
 
a. For web-searchable archives up to February 22 2024, use this:
   <https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android>

b. For later archives, use this:
   <https://www.novabbs.com/computers/search.php?group=comp.mobile.android>

SorB,
Since this has been posted a billion times, what is it that caused you to
miss it all those billions of times? It's not just you. It's everyone.

There is almost no question asked on this newsgroup that hasn't been
answered already a billion times. Why do people keep asking it over & over?

What needs to be done so that people REMEMBER something this simple?
 <https://tinyurl.com/comp-mobile-android>
 <https://tinyurl.com/nova-comp-mobile-android>

Hell, we designed the URLs to be so simple you can't forget them.
And yet, people ask the same question a billion times over & over.

Answering this same question a billion times is rather frustrating.

s|b,

> Can't create a widget either.

The below talks about how to create a widget to/of the "settings" menu, and
how you can pre-select a sub-item from it (I'm assuming you can still create 
widgets).

https://www.gtricks.com/android/create-home-screen-shortcuts-settings-sub-items-android/

(Add Settings shortcut widget)

I followed those directions (on a pixel 6)  to see if it would work as
advertised, and selected, for step 3, "devices" as sub-item.  It worked, and
might be all you need.

I know about the widget, but it doesn't work for me. What I need isn't
under 'Devices'.

Settings > Network and Internet > Hotspot and Tethering >
Bluetooth-tethering

Don't know if the Shortcutter Quick Settings app is of any use. It
hasn't been updated since 2020.

  Do you have a Samsung phone? If so, the Gtricks article says the "Add
Settings shortcut widget" method does not work for newer (whatever that
means) Samsung phones and you need to "Use a third-party app":
"Shortcutter" [Quick Settings].

  In any case, I would try the Shortcutter Quick Settings app. Not being
updated in a long time, isn't neccessarily a bad thing. Good software
doesn't have to be fixed/updated every other day! :-( This post is
brought to you by over two *decade* old software!

How to do it has been explained a billion times on this very newsgroup.

There's a reason I have said many times on this newsgroup that the
Muntashirakon App Manager is one of the best apps in all of Android.

1. Open that app manager & then tap on the Android "Settings" package;
2. Go to the "Activities" tab and find the public activity you seek;
3. Press "Create Shortcut" which creates the shortcut on the homescreen.

How hard is that?

Once. Never again. I almost threw that thing against the wall... twice.
I've been using Pixel since Nexus 5X.
