Nearby Connection API - device not advertising after disconnecting few times

_x000D_ _x000D_ I'm using so called Nearby Connections. One device is advertising (Nearby.Connections.startAdvertising() ) and another is discovering (Nearby.Connections.startDiscovery() ). This api works fine, I can successfully connect to the host device. However, if I disconnect, and reconnect few times, the device is not advertising any more. I'm calling Nearby.Connections.startAdvertising(), but onResult() method from PendingResult is not invoked at all. PendingResult is returned from Nearby.Connections.startAdvertising() method and you can use that to check if advertising started successfully. Did anyone have similar problem? I have to reboot the device in order to advertising start working again. (reconnecting the wifi doesn't help).

_x000D_ When you start advertising, do you set a timeout? You can try to set 0 there: Nearby.Connections.startAdvertising(mGoogleApiClient, hostNameString, appMetadata, 0l, this); In the nearby-connection quickstart example, you can set these two variables: private static final long TIMEOUT_ADVERTISE = 0L; private static final long TIMEOUT_DISCOVER = 0L;
