Regarding connection issues, you may use retry(int, long)
method in the ConnectRequest
.
https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/Android-BLE-Library/blob/e95a814f4c0ecd08a75e5f0e53c68e2b8dbdf70c/ble/src/main/java/no/nordicsemi/android/ble/ConnectRequest.java#L146-L165
Have a look at nRF Blinky: https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/Android-nRF-Blinky/blob/3b615a2a1822bbef3b82262b6541cb3bb4cc1758/app/src/main/java/no/nordicsemi/android/blinky/viewmodels/BlinkyViewModel.java#L115
Connection may end with 133 error because of multiple reasons. For example, the Connection Indication Request might have been missed by the peripheral, so it fails to respond to central's commands, and after around 4 seconds (like in your case) it aborts with 133. By using retry
method you make the lib to retry in this case.
To clean the queue you can call cancelQueue()
on the manager. But usually you add the requests when you're connected, so there may be nothing to cancel before connection.
Thank you for your quick answer! Actually i'm already using retry
to handle random 133 that somehow fixes the use case i shown. May i ask you if there is some cases in your tests that required you to increase retry count and/or timeout to achieve better performances?
Futhermore, sadly i'm still noticing some 133 that are out of the scope of the retry
method suggested. The scenario is when a connection is correctly enstablished, so the peripheral responds on the connection attempt at first (and the ConnectRequest gest unqueued), but then when android tries to update connection parameters for the discovery, sometimes it results in

Usually, this happens when reconnecting to the proxy service when provisioning finish correctly. I solved the case by manually reconnecting in NrfMeshRepository callbacks handling discovery result accordingly with a proper reconnect handler. Resulting in this logcat:

where RECONNECTING FOR PRIORITY REQUEST ERROR
indicates that my trigger was notified, and CONN PRIORITY REQUEST DONE
meaning that discovery has completed successfully (so android managed to successfully update connection parameters).
Let me know if you would like to check my NrfMeshRepository implementation for more investigation.
I can also tell you, for instance, that on our BT peripherals connection parameters are set in the firmware as:
MIN_CONNECTION_INTERVAL 150ms MAX_CONNECTION_INTERVAL 250ms
Thank you again for your support.
May i ask you if there is some cases in your tests that required you to increase retry count and/or timeout to achieve better performances?
So far I found 3 retries sufficient. But you may easily put there 10 or more, as this only matters in case the device is in range and fails to connect, so eventually it should.
I can also tell you, for instance, that on our BT peripherals connection parameters are set in the firmware as: MIN_CONNECTION_INTERVAL 150ms MAX_CONNECTION_INTERVAL 250ms
Remember, that Android will switch to connection interval 7.5 ms for service discovery (and then switch back to negotiated value. This should be handled correctly by your device.
Error 19 refers to this https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/bluetooth/bluedroid/+/5738f83aeb59361a0a2eda2460113f6dc9194271/stack/include/hcidefs.h#426 error. The remote device has disconnected. Check if you handle connection interval 7.5 ms correctly.
We still see some 133 errore that requires the user to perform annoying operations such as:
to make sure BT connections start to work again. Does upgrade to the latest version solve this issue 100%?
Thank you.
No, unfortunately not. Those error are reported by the system and often not much can be done. During connection we can retry, and that is pretty much all. This needs to be fixed on the OS level, or a root cause of such problem needs to be evaluated (sometimes it is wrong connection parameter, or some timing issue, etc, and with detailed analysis this can be fixed on the fw side, but also there is no warranty that it will fail on another phone).
Hi,
As shown in the title, i've an issue related to random connection timeouts that cause the user of our application to wait too long for a successful connection attempt, that hopefully happens after 10/20 seconds.
Every BLE connection it's done from the main thread as suggested in your documentation. Things i want to understand is:
Here the log i see from logcat:
Let me know if i can add some code snipper that may be helpful.
Thank you.
