I/BLEPeripheral﹕ Unable to access Bluetooth LE Advertiser. Device not supported

[AlexBravo]

I get this error when running on Nexus 5 with Lollipop (lpx13d image).

It looks like Lollipop has a bug in mBTAdapter.getBluetoothLeAdvertiser() https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=77827
Proper bug: https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=1570

Do you have your code running on Nexus 7 by any chance?

We noticed the same thing and had to roll back to the preview for now... Hopefully it isn't an intentional bug!

Have you tried running on Nexus 7 by any chance?

I only have access to the 2012 N7 which apparently isn't certified for Bluetooth 4.0. I supposer I could test it with CyanogenMod...

Please tell all your buddies to star that issue. It's really frightening.

I already did. Hopefully it's just a bug and not a limitation of BLE chipset in N5.

[chrisballinger]

Considering it worked just fine in the preview, I wouldn't consider it a
limitation of the N5 BLE hardware because we know it works

I said that because I see sometimes Advertising failed with code 5 or 4.
4 means ADVERTISE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR
5 means ADVERTISE_FAILED_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED

Restarting the phone fixes this problem.

@AlexBravo That meaning you've gotten advertising to apparently work on your Nexus 5 running lpx13d? Really appreciate the feedback.

[AlexBravo]

Nope, I had to revert to Preview API 20 too.
