问题
I have a device with Blue Gecko BLE and everything seems to be working fine with various Android phones and tablets: connecting, data transfer and reconnect after disconnection. Note: we do not pair our device it is just connected and we do not use auto connect.
Now the problem: sometimes with some of the devices-phone setups connecting stops functioning after working for weeks. I do not know when or why it happens, but after that it is impossible to reconnect the device using the same phone it was previously working flawlessly with. The device still works normally with other phones. And the phone works with other devices. We have tried various tricks: rebooting the phone, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, resetting the device. None of those work. The only way we have been able to reconnect is to erase Bluetooth data from phone settings (either reset Network and Bluetooth or just erase Bluetooth data from phone's app settings). What is the reason and how can we fix this? Any ideas?
Clues: Looking at the btsnoop_hci.log from the phone it seems that when connections start to fail, the response to "Sent LE Create Connection" is "Command disallowed".
Looking at logcat I have seen "Got status 133 and state 0" which causes Bluetooth Reset in our App.
Connection status check is done every 5 seconds and reconnection after that... if needed.
When the problem is occurring, connection to the device cannot be made with other apps either using that same phone. It is like the device was put on a black list that can be cleared by deleting the Bluetooth data.
I hope someone would be able to help with this problem. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I was requested for some HCI LOG, so here it is. The frames 28305 and 28309 have the create connection commands while frames 28306 and 28310 have the response with status: "Command Disallowed (0x0c)"

And here is link to the same data as plain text:

Here's the code for connecting the device. As said I'm not using autoconnect. I do want to reconnect as reliably and fast as possible. I'm calling this connectBLEDevice regularly (every 5sec) if the connection is lost.

Log.d("debug", "connectBLEDevice: connectBLEDevice ALREADY CONNECTED --> do nothing");
if(deviceConnectionRetryCount%30 != 0){
return;
}else { // RESET BT IF not communicating but BT claims to be connected for too long
Log.d("debug", "connectBLEDevice: STILL NOT COMMUNICATING for too long (2-3min) --> try to reconnect");
}
}
}
Log.e(TAG, "connectBLEDevice: Starting service discovery");
if (btGatt == null) {
// I was told there should be delay before connecting after disconnection (this could be accessed if user start and stop the service very fast)
new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
Log.d("debug", "connectBLEDevice: connectGatt in BLESERVICE");
btGatt = currentDevice.connectGatt(BleService.this, false, gattCb);
}
}, 500);
} else {
Log.d(TAG, "connectBLEDevice: btGatt != null --> Disconnect BLE");
btGatt.disconnect();
// I was told there should be delay before connecting after disconnection
new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()).postDelayed(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
boolean success = btGatt.connect();
if (!success || (deviceConnectionRetryCount > 0 && deviceConnectionRetryCount%10==0)) {
Log.d("debug", "connectBLEDevice: connect in BLESERVICE Failed OR retried 10 times (~ 1min) --> reset BT");
resetBluetooth();
}else{
Log.d("debug", "connectBLEDevice: connect in BLESERVICE Success");
}
}
catch (Exception e){
Log.e(TAG, "connectBLEDevice: Unable to connect BLE device (null pointer) --> reset BT", e);
resetBluetooth();
}
}
}, 500);
}
}
Here's the code for reseting the Bluetooth
private void resetBluetooth() {
Log.e(TAG, "*** Reseting Bluetooth! ***");
if (mGattManager != null) {
mGattManager.cancelCurrentOperationBundle();
disconnect(currentDevice);
mGattManager = null;
}
if (btGatt != null) {
btGatt.disconnect();
refreshDeviceCache(btGatt);
try {
btGatt.close();
}
catch (Exception e){
Log.e(TAG, "An exception occurred while closing btGatt");
}
}
initBluetooth();
btGatt = null;
}
