I managed to pair, by a mix of factory reset + ensuring that other devices previously paired were unpaired. Now, I can pair. However I continue to experience disconnections. Typically, - I connect, I pair - I send a Write Request - I receive a Write Response which looks - Immediately after I also receive a Disconnect Complete with reason "Remote User Terminated Connection". This is not meant to happen. Can I do something about this? This behaviour is exactly the same on two different hosts: Linux Mint, and a Rpi 3.
