The android app might be doing all sorts of things, though you could try cloning its services and pretend to be the device, that way you would see exactly what the app is doing, just remember to connect the app with BlueZ not the real device. For cloning you will need to: bluetoothctl> connect <device address> bluetoothctl> gatt.clone Then proceed to connect to BlueZ, it will forward any request for the services cloned to the real device then just use btmon to investigate what it is sending to replicate. > On Thu, Jan 2, 2020 at 8:20 PM Luiz Augusto von Dentz > <luiz.dentz@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > Hi Peter, > > > > On Thu, Jan 2, 2020 at 6:10 PM Peter Belau <pbelau1@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > > > > hci trace doesn't give me much of anything although I'd be happy to > > > attach the trace.
