Samsung S7 doesn't; discover any Bluetooth devices

Question

I am new to Android development, and have been scanning the boards for a couple of weeks now because I can't find any other bluetooth devices in my location.

I have included permissions for BLUETOOTH, BLUETOOTH ADMIN, and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION in my Manifest.xml file.

Hardware: REV0.6 Model #: SM-G930V

Answer 1

Try to also add ACCESS_BACKGROUD_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION to your manifest file. If that doesn't help, check that you can scan for other Android devices using other apps (e.g. nRF Connect) to ensure that there isn't somehow a problem with your hardware.
