In my application i am detecting Beacons using some libraries after finding the right beacon am using its name to find another Bluetooth device (Android Device 5.0) and then trying to connect to the phone by Bluetooth using the methods and classes provided by google in their sample Bluetooth chat app, but the socket is never connecting it is giving IOException always either (socket closed) or (socket time out ret:-1).
I tried every solution provided online and dozens of questions posted here on Stack Overflow but none worked.
i came to desperate conclusion that maybe using low energy bluetooth and bluetooth at the samee time is causing a conflict, am i right? or absolutely wrong?
Here is my code

You included a lot of unnecessary code but none of the relevant parts. How are you performing the B-LE scanning and the Bluetooth discovery? Without this code is hard to offer more suggestions but you should watch out for the following:
