Thanks for your help!

Sincerely, Elysio

I can confirm. Same problem on Samsung Galaxy 8 (android v8.0.0). Central -> ESP32 (standard BLE uart example) Peripheral -> Samsung Galaxy 8 (android v8.0.0) running UART example from this repository (defect in 'blePeripheral.startAdvertising(SERVICE_UUID, 'UART')' ).

@don ,can you please help? Many thanks in advance.

Best regards, Raymond

I found that my bluetooth device name was too big for the advertising data. Once I changed that I could get it to work.

You can also check the value of the failure returned at https://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/le/AdvertisingSetCallback

1 was my error code and it was mapped to https://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/le/AdvertisingSetCallback.html#ADVERTISE_FAILED_DATA_TOO_LARGE

Thank you. You really saved my day. Setting

        builder.setIncludeDeviceName(false);

in the private AdvertiseData getAdvertisementData declaration in BLEPeripheralPlugin.java did indeed make everything work.

THANK YOU !!!
