Bluetooth - screen on when starting a call

Hi,

if I want to start a call, I first have to select the SIM card to be used. So far so good.

If I do that in the car and the phone is connected with Bluetooth, I have to do that as well.
But the screen does not go on to select a SIM card, I have to do that manually. Not so good when driving.

So I thought Macrodroid can help and created the following macro:

But this does not work. Where is the mistake?

Of course it would be better if you could say take the SIM card 2 when Bluetooth is on.
Is this possible? I found nothing in macrodroid.

Try to search the forum, I know there has been a lot threads about two sim cards, maybe you could find something usefull
I don't really know, I just have one sim 😉
But you could try with an "Send intent" to open the settings and maybe use UI action

Action=android.intent.action.MAIN
Package Name=com.android.settings
Class Name=com.android.settings.DualCardSettings

Vielleicht funktioner es 😉

Ok, I must have misunderstood what you mean
How do you make the call with screen off ?
Your macro will turn your screen on when you makes the call
Maybe it's just me, but could you be a little more specific, I might be able to help

OK. I'll try my best:
  1. I am in the car. The phone is connected to the car's hands-free system via Bluetooth.
  2. I select a contact on the car display that I want to call.
  3. It is dialed, but for the call I have to select a SIM card on the display of the phone.
    To do this, the screen must first be activated. Only activated, not unlocked!

Ok, got it, that makes sense
But I think this is a "bit" tricky, if you use the Outgoing call trigger, it's too late because then the call is active
You must turn the screen on BEFORE the call
I don't really know how it works from the car unit, if it's possible to get that trigger for making calls, Logcat maybe?
I assume you have the phone in some kind of holder, then you can just tap the screen before making the call
Or enable the sim when you enter your car
Sorry I can't really help
