Extend Android Bluetooth Discoverability

Question

I am writing an application that relies on the Android device (for my current testing purposes an HTC Evo 4G and several original Motorola Droids) being discoverable via bluetoo

Answer 1

It appears to be a bug:

Issue 15486: Bluetooth Adapter.EXTRA DISCOVERABLE not obeyed http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15486

Issue 13361: BluetoothAdapter.EXTRA_DISCOVERABLE_DURATION intent Extra does not extend 120 sec discovery interval http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13361

First reported Dec 22, 2010, still listed as 'new' status, so I wouldn't expect this to be fixed.
