I do not understand this behavior at all but I have noted on the same set of devices as I have moved from OS 4.3 to 6.0 that discovery of Bluetooth Low Energy devices using the 'settings/bluetooth' option is progressively worse. In 5.1 and 6.0 it is so bad that there are certain devices I do not even discover anymore, whereas in pre-5 I have no problem discovering the devices.
On the other hand if I write my own scanner app I discover things fine. The reason for using the settings/Bluetooth option (even inside my app) is that I need to work and pair with both classic and BTLE devices. There is no API for pairing in classic BT (without doing something unreliable like reflection). However, there is a bonding method that has been added to gatt. Has Google made the scan rate increasingly infrequent in the 'settings/bluetooth' option that it is practically useless? I am wondering if I will need to write a completely separate 'activity' for discovering and pairing to BTLE devices. Any info is greatly appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
