connection error

[sontqq]

Everytime I try to connect to a device i get:

error_read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1

Any idea?

What kind of the device are you trying to connect to ?

Take a look at this README section :
https://github.com/OmarAflak/Bluetooth-Library/blob/master/README.md#connect-to-device-using-port-trick

I'm trying to connect from an Android 9.0 Samsung device to a Windows 10 PC with a bluetooth dongle.

I have also tried to connect with the port tricking but no success.

I get this error:

I'm having the same error, using either connectToDevice and connectToDeviceWithPortTrick, but fails every time.
I downloaded the Bluetooth Terminal app and it logs the same error on the screen.
I tried to connect from a Pixel 3 (Android 10) to a Galaxy J5 Pro (Android 9).

yep, same for me, trying to connect to medical device, but it is saying same, error_read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1

[omaraflak]

Please make sure you are using a regular Bluetooth dongle, not BLE. BLE is not supported.

I'm getting this msg too. Is there any solution? Is there any way to disable BLE @omaraflak?

This issue is still persistent, is there a workaround for this, none of the other libraries are also able to tackle this.
