Galaxy s4 i9505 - no BLE advertised

[chrismonks]

Hi, Firstly great app. It will save me alot of headaches when i finally get it working.

So I got ANt+ working on my old s4 stock android 5 rom. The csc app see's me speed/cadence/HR devices and reports correct.

But, there it does not advertise a BTLE device that I can use on zwitft or anything else.

I tried changing device name to only "S4". Bluetooth is working and I've testing sharing within the bluetooth settings and my other devices can see it.

logcat doesn't give me much, and I can't see the "advertising log" as discussed in the Nexus 5 thread. Anyone any thoughts on how to debug

hmmm, verbose logs show W/CSCService(25351): Failed to create advertiser

[starryalley]

Glad that you find it useful. Unfortunately that failure log may have explained why:

getBluetoothLeAdvertiser () Will return null if Bluetooth is turned off or if Bluetooth LE Advertising is not supported on this device. [API doc link here](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/BluetoothAdapter#getBluetoothLeAdvertiser())

ouch. my dreams go up in flames. Have to search the place now for another device with possible support. Thanks for the support

Here is a good list of device that support advertise https://altbeacon.github.io/android-beacon-library/beacon-transmitter-devices.html
