I have code that connects to, and then tries to discover all Services provided by a custom BLE server device advertising custom Services.
The code works on
- Nexus 5 with Android 5.1
- Samsung SM-T320 with Android 4.4.2
- ZTE Blade Vec 4G With Android 4.4.2
Code does not work on
- Samsung SM-T360 with Android 4.4.4
- Samsung GT-I9195 with Android 4.4.2
On devices where it fails it often discovers all of the BLE Services on one (of two) devices that advertises the same BLE Services. Restarting the Android device and/or fiddling with wifi/bt makes it discover all the Services on the other BLE device but then not the first (!).
Anyone knows of a outstanding bug with the Samsung devices regarding BLE Service discovery?
Has all the Services:

For the second (failing) scan I also see the following logs:

Update:
Further investigation shows that the onServicesDiscovered(BluetoothGatt gatt, int status) returns all the BLE Services if only one BLE service device is present at a time. Some kind of resource leak in the lower layers?
