With previous builds, download was working correctly with standard Bluetooth.  Now Subsurface-mobile is now trying to connect using BLE, but failing to connect.  The dive computer screen continues with the waiting for PC countdown the entire time.

Unfortunately my one dual mode device seems to be broken, so this has become harder to test.

But yes, Android seems to do odd things when it comes to pairing / bonding to BT/BLE devices. I tend to use the Nordic nRF Connect app to get a better sense as to whether things are the way they should be before starting Subsurface-mobile
