BLE. DataField. A device is visible for the simulator but not for a real device

Hello,

I'm trying to connect a device using BLE. It works when I use the simulator. But when I run the DataField on a real device (Forerunner 945) it's impossible to even see it. (Checked with BleScan application. No luck. It doesn't see it)

The device developer said me: "The service UUID should be in the second part of the advertising package it sends", but I have not found any way to read (or get) this "second part of the package". The device is 100% visible for Android/Windows/iOS.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

How are you connecting to devices? Are you using the address? Would it be another way to connect?

I use the UUID to find what I'm looking for, and then pair using that scan result

Any chance the device is already known to the forerunner as a sensor?

in my experience it will not show up then with the ciq scan results even if the device is disabled on the Garmin...

Yes, if the device is paired in the FW, you wont see it when doing a BLE scan is what I've seen

Hi.

No. The device is not connected as a sensor.

Actually I've not found any solution.
