Android BLE: “Scan failed, reason app registration failed for UUID”












4















I am developing an application using the RxAndroidBle library that performs BLE scans regularly about every 30 seconds, and some BLE operations every minute or so. After a couple of hours, usually between 5 and 24h, the scan stops working. Every time a scan is supposed to be started, I get:



09-05 09:08:37.160 8160-8160/myapp D/BluetoothAdapter: startLeScan(): null

  • Hello, I think that during so long time there can appear some errors during the connections you establish with the devices. There is a bug in RxAndroidBle ( github.com/Polidea/RxAndroidBle/issues/63 ) that prevents the BLE clients to be closed properly in some erroneous scenarios.

    After more investigation I think it's mostly related to the scanning. If I don't scan at all, I don't this problem it appears. I am still interested in learning how to work around the problem if scanning is required for the use case however.

The problem is that after couple of connections you reach a maximal number of BluetoothGatt objects.



After you disconnect every device before you start a new scan call close() on your BluetoothGatt object.

    On the older implementations of Android there seems to be a race condition between the time a bluetooth adapter is enabled and how quickly you can do a scan. You can trigger this error by either trying to scan with a disabled bluetooth adapter or one that is transitioning (or has open connections and is trying to read). The underlying issue that was causing it in my app was the inability of the bluetooth sub system to get a new bluetooth socket. The answer above (running out of GATT resources) could be part of it. The overall logic in an older Android device to avoid this issue is: 1. Make sure you disable/enable the bluetooth adapter about every 5 scans. This seems to help clear out older cached data. 2. Make sure you don't try to initiate a scan while the bluetooth adapter is not enabled (this is made possible if you are disabling/enabling on a regular basis). 3. Make sure you have a delay between disconnecting from GATT interfaces and doing your next scan. 4. Don't try to read the GATT characteristics of any more than about 3 devices at a time.



    Overall, its somewhat unavoidable in an older Android device to completely avoid the problem but you can mitigate it by carefully timing your scan/stop scan/connect/disconnect/ cycle.

The overall logic in an older Android device to avoid this issue is: 1. Make sure you disable/enable the bluetooth adapter about every 5 scans. This seems to help clear out older cached data. 2. Make sure you don't try to initiate a scan while the bluetooth adapter is not enabled (this is made possible if you are disabling/enabling on a regular basis). 3. Make sure you have a delay between disconnecting from GATT interfaces and doing your next scan. 4. Don't try to read the GATT characteristics of any more than about 3 devices at a time.



                  Overall, its somewhat unavoidable in an older Android device to completely avoid the problem but you can mitigate it by carefully timing your scan/stop scan/connect/disconnect/ cycle.
