That's just ugly. For BT (vs. BLE) I don't even know of a better app than the Android "on board" pairing app. I went back through my email exchanges with Shearwater - it seems that the way the Petrel remembers what he was last paired to and when and how it decides to stop advertising is a bit complicated. If any of your phone / laptop / tablet is bonded to the BLE part, the BT part will stop advertising it seems (on the Petrel 2 this is not one BT/BLE device, but they are two devices). Is it possible that your phone is bonded to BLE? You could use nRF Connect on the phone to disconnect and un-bond with the BLE device. Then reboot both phone and Petrel and see if it shows up again for BT pairing. What a pain. /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list subsurface@subsurface-divelog.org http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
