Activate multiply stuff in one click

[tiny_bits]

hi

when I'm driving I need to activate "mobile data", "GPS" and "Bluetooth".
all those are disabled most of the time.

is there a way to activate all those three above in a click of button instead of going to "Settings" and doing three clicks ?
do I have to install an app to do that?

Hi tiny_bits! Welcome to DroidForums! There are apps that can do that. I use AutomateIt. I believe tasker can also do that. There is also Trigger. Basically what you do is set up a profile that tells your phone to do specific functions when activated. For instance, in your case, you might set up a profile that when you turn on GPS, it automatically also turns on Bluetooth and mobile data.

I was just exploring some apps that do this. There are several. I did a search in play store for tasker. I am currently trying out Atooma. I really like it. Seems very easy to set up and gives you many options/numerous possibilities for free.

I'm wondering if it could be done on a phone that supports NFC by scanning a barcode.

There was one I looked at (maybe it was trigger) that used NFC. There are so many and with NFC capabilities, I'm sure there are several more.

Good points here.. NFC tag in car would be solid choice.. I've used Automateit before but briefly.. That has some good settings..

Tasker does everything but it has a steep learning curve.

This is not a good sign that those app are not there in your mobile. You need to take care of your phone's privacy so that it does not happen again. And one good app that comes to my mind is Leo privacy app.

Huh? Did you even read the OP? They want to turn on mobile, gps and Bluetooth. This has nothing to do with missing apps or security.


I wish I got paid to spam forums with app names.

I'll be more specific:

I have a navigation app.

I need for the "mobile data" and "GPS" (and maybe "bluetooth") to turn enabled when I launch that app.
as suggested I tried "Automateit" and "Atooma" but it seems both don't have an "enable GPS" function (they DO have an "enable mobile data" one)

and I would like to have it free so tasker or locale are not relevant for me.

Some of these settings may be enabled within your phone or can be enabled in settings of your navigation app. Which phone do you have and what is the navigation app you are using? Knowing those will help us know what abilities and/or limitations you have with your phone or the app.

There are also so many apps that can automatically enable specific settings. You can search the play store for drive mode apps or tasker apps. You may have to do trial and error until you find one that works for you.

I got samsung galaxy s2.
not rooted.
the navigation app is "waze". it doesn't have an option to enable GPS in the configuration of the app itself.
I tried more apps but no one seem to be able to enable the gps.
they also seem to drain the battery - didn't even think of that...
