The Easy Way to Turn on Bluetooth During a Call
I know I’ve been on a bluetooth rampage lately – guess I need to go to the dentist (sorry, too easy). Anyway, there’s a nice little application from Shubaroo called Bluetooth Toggle that adds a ‘turn bluetooth on’ option directly into your phone’s menu. The benefit is that while you’re in a call you can just bring up the menu to turn on/off bluetooth which is easier than going into connection manager and turning it on from there (it’s less steps unless you’ve mapped a hardware key to connection manager). And it works well – with your bluetooth headset on just turn it on from your phone as well and hit the ‘send’ button on your headset and it connects during a call. Shubaroo has a lot of other nice little utilities as well that are worth looking at.
Oh and don’t mix this app up with another app by the same name that gives you a shortcut to turn on/off bluetooth- that one is for button mapping or adding a shortcut and does not go into the phones menu.

jimski I guess users have reasons for toggling their Bluetooth on/off, but mine has been on for six months and I don’t experience any significant battery drain. I like Bluetooth to always be ready for me.
Joe I’ve noticed that coming back from a bluetooth tethering session sometimes results in toggling bluetooth off unknowingly. Of course it takes trying to make a call over my headset to find that out, this should make it much faster to turn it back on. Thank you.
Dave Wasn’t sure if this would work on 6.5 with the Tachi dialer, but it seems to just fine. Thanks!
Excellent, thanks for sharing this! This will come in very useful
