Unable to retrieve the local scan mode.

[Andrew Smith]

What would cause the exception "java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to retrieve the local scan mode." when using LocalDevice.getLocalDevice().getDiscoverable()?

My system is a bit complicated, there's a lot of devices running in threads, as far as I can see there shouldn't be a problem. Also this problem doesn't happen consistently, about once in every two times I run the program it gives an error.

Thanks!

What is your native stack and OS?
if you are on linux, make sure your program runs with root privileges.

Thanks for your response, my apologies for not including that, I'm using BlueZ on Linux and I am running with root privileges.

The confusing thing is this only ever happens for hci0, if I have hci0,hci1, ..., hci5 it still only ever returns this error on hci0 and not all the time. Bizzare!
