Hi, Luiz Thanks for your reply. A little bit confused here. There is no code in bluez that directly re-enable advertisement, if there is, could you show the code location in bluez? Bluetooth in kernel is responsible for re-enabling advertisement? The responsibility for re-enabling the advertising is kernel instead of bluez and user application code.
