Hi Luiz, We do update the service after main.conf is changed. I agree with Jan's understanding of problem statement here.

If you start the service a second time this flag is correct. For the first time it is always wrong. This is the same we did see here with our equipment.

Using bluetootctl, when I turn on the advertisement using command "advertise on", I get 0x02 advertisement flag. Which means "BR/EDR Not Supported" (Bit 2) is not set. > Now, if i restart the bluetooth service, and turn on the advertisement again, I get 0x06 advertisement flags. Are you saying we are not updating the service once main.conf has changed? We don't do that automatically if that is what you are referring to, also if you want to advertise as a beacon/broadcaster and not as peripheral thean us you should use advertise broadcast. > Here is my main.conf > > [General]# Default adaper name > # Defaults to 'BlueZ X.YZ' > #Name = BlueZ# Default device class.
