Having discovered that having the Bluetooth enabled all the time more than halves my battery life, I now keep Bluetooth turned off. However, when I get in the car I turn it on. Using the built-in apps to do this is a bit convoluted.

What is the quickest way to enable and disable Bluetooth on the HTC Desire?
 
Hi, I use an app that turns bluetooth on/off when i connect/disconnet phone from charger. SO when i get in the car, i conect to charger and this automatically turns bluetooth on and letys phone sync with car kit. the opposite obviously happens when i get out of the car.

the app is called "bluetooth power manager" i think

I'd personally recommend an app called Quick Settings. It gives you multiple toggle options, including Bluetooth. They can all be accessed when you hold the search button, so it doesn't take up room on your screens. :)

I have this app but it requires you to open up the app....THEN toggle the BT. Is there a way to have something on the screen or the dock that simply toggles the BT with one touch? Which app or stock function will let me do this? I just want a button on my phone that turns the BT on and off with one touch of that button.
