Usage of BleConnectionCompat.connectUsingReflection() causes connection being never established on Sony Xperia Z (C6603) about rxandroidble HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello,
When connecting with autoConnect flag the RxBleRadioOperationConnect finishes after registering the client. The reason is that with autoConnect flag set to true the connection usually is established quite a lot later even if the device you're trying to connect is near by and advertising. I have seen times even above 10 minutes for connecting where connection with autoConnect = false took 5 seconds.
How long have you waited for the connection to be established?
From the logs I see that calling the connectGatt using reflection finished successfully - there are no errors with that.
Best Regards

Hi,
thanks for the prompt response. I've been trying to connect for dozens of minutes without success.

The thing is that autoConnect flag works perfectly fine on the same device when:

• using android-BluetoothLeGatt sample from Google
• reflection based method in the library is replaced with the regular API

I know this issue is weird especially because:

• it happens only on one device among many I have used
• the reflection based implementation seems to be identical to the inner Android implementation

Anyways I've changed my app implementation so that autoConnect=false but still it would be cool if you could address the last part of my comment regarding why the reflection based workaround is used in the first place and which Android versions / devices are affected.

thanks.

Reflection workaround is used to fix this bug:

Which affects the majority of Android devices, as it has only been fixed very recently.

Since I do not own nor I do have access to the said model I do not think this issue will get tested/fixed. Closing.
