Bluetooth dropped connection - not reconnecting on Samsung S23

Open akapelrud opened this issue 2 years ago • 10 comments

On my Samsung S23, if RunnerUp looses connection to my Garmin HRM Dual it never reconnects. The audio queue of the lost connection is sounded once, but there doesn't seem to be any reconnects at all. I have to stop the activity to connect again.

The same setup was working flawless on my previous phone (Samsung S10) with the HRM Dual.

I have previously made some android BLE apps, and my experience is that the main android BLE API is quite buggy on many phones. I would recommend looking into using the blessed-android library for dealing with connections/reconnects. Blessed deals with all the known quirks of BLE on android and is actually quite nice to work with.

The BLE implementation should be refreshed to use the Android 5 APIs, now when Android 4.4 was dropped first (I have got a quite annoying number of connect/disconnect messages with a cheap CooSpoo belt, so it can work...)
