Re: What happens with bluetooth when connection is interrupted

Hi Patryk,

i see the problems and I will change it. I now made some tests and i found out that the library waits for a specific time until it sends the signal. I suppose that in this time it tries to repair the connection.

Is it possible to manage this time period with compiling flags or something?

Thanks,
Reto

Because polling is the worst strategy both CPU- and power-wise. It
causes frequent wakeups that waste power and prevent CPUs from
entering a deep idle state. They also generate unnecessary traffic for
the IPC mechanism so if every program decided to poll for something
once a second, services like DBus would likely get hosed.
