Bass watch can't connect to phone about asteroidossync

Hi, sorry to hear you're having issues.

• What phone (model + ROM) do you have and which one has your girlfriend?
• Are you running AsteroidOS 1.0 or nightlies (in this case do you remember the date you downloaded the nightly)?
• Has it worked before?
• Are you using a selfbuilt app or 0.14 from F-Droid?

Thank you for the logs, I will look into them.
If the issue is indeed AsteroidOSSync we should wait until #101 is resolved, since that changes the relevant code.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (SGH-I257H) with LineageOS 14.1 (Android version 7.1.2).
My girlfriend use a tablet type Samsung Galaxy Tab A (SM-T580) with the upgraded Stock rom (Android version 8.1.0).

I have tried the AsteroidOS 1.0 and the Nighty build downloaded at February 28 and both had the same problem.

I just got the watch, so the only time it worked was with my girl friend tablet. It never worked with my cell phone.

I am using (both on my phone and on my girl friend tablet) the 0.14 F-Droid build of AsteroidOSsync.

Hope this help. If you want me to test something, just ask.

@tioui I searched a bit online and it seems multiple people reported Bluetooth connection issues for your model and other variants of the s4 mini. Have you tried Bluetooth LE with a different device on this phone already? One suggested "fix" is wiping the cache partition and toggling Bluetooth multiple times in settings.
Since it works on your girlfriend's tablet I would assume that it's either a model-specific issue with our Bluetooth library (that we are currently trying to drop #101) or an issue with your ROM/vendor device drivers.

Edit:
We had a small discussion on IRC and there was a recent change in the Bluetooth baudrate.
You can edit /lib/systemd/system/patchram.service on your watch and remove --baudrate 3000000 from the ExecStart line to revert the changes. Can you report if that improves anything?

It does not seems to work. I have clear the cache partition and toggled the bluetooth on and off multiple times. I also change the file /lib/systemd/system/patchram.service on the watch to remove the --baudrate 3000000. Still not connecting properly.

For the question, I don't know if I have used a Bluetooth LE device before. I use my car bluetooth connexion, my bluetooth earbuds and a wireless home phone that connect by bluetooth with my cell phone. Every one of those work as they should. But I don't know if they use bluetooth LE.

Just to let you know. I just installed crDroid (Android 8.0) on my phone with a clean install. Wipe everything but the sdcard. The first thing I did was installing FDroid and the second was installing AsteroidOSSync. I had the same problem while trying to connect to my watch.

Also, I did pair the Watch to the Phone using bluetoothctl with this tutorial (at the end of the page): https://asteroidos.org/wiki/bluetooth/ . The problem is, the watch and the phone correctly pair, but the AsteroidOSSync app still try to pair it.
