Looks like I found the problem. Creation of all sockets and all the read/write operations are handled in btio.c in BlueZ. It allows to set various options for sockets. One of these options is called 'defer' (BT_IO_OPT_DEFER_TIMEOUT). By default it is equal to 30. In fact, no profile in BlueZ use this option, and it is never equal to anything else. And create_io() function in btio.c also does not use this. The only place 'defer' option is passed to a kernel level is bt_io_listen() function: if (confirm) setsockopt(sock, SOL_BLUETOOTH, BT_DEFER_SETUP, &opts.defer, sizeof(opts.defer)); As far as I understand, BT_DEFER_SETUP is a kernel option which enables Defer Setup feature for L2CAP channel. It is a binary flag, and looks like it has nothing to do with timeout. And it makes no sense to pass 30 as a value for binary flag. So I don't see any connection between these two things. As a result, we almost always turn on Defer Setup feature, which causes connection problems with my speaker and potentially with other BT devices. My suggestion is to completely remove 'defer' option from btio.c Another question is: when and where do we actually need to enable this Defer Setup feature?
