onServicesDiscovered status is 129 and connect unstable for BLE in Android

Question

I following the page Bluetooth Low Energy for developing in Android 4.3 for Bluetooth Low Energy

I try connect BLE device by following code:

public void connect(final String address) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Log.w(TAG, "BluetoothLeService Connect function.");
        if(mBluetoothAdapter == null || address == null){
            Log.w(TAG, "BluetoothAdapter not initialized or unspecified address.");
        }
        final BluetoothDevice device = mBluetoothAdapter.getRemoteDevice(address);
        mBluetoothGatt = device.connectGatt(this, true, mGattCallback);
    }

After connect to the BLE device , it will discover the Service by mBluetoothGatt.discoverServices(); like the following code.

private final BluetoothGattCallback mGattCallback = new BluetoothGattCallback() {

        public void onConnectionStateChange(android.bluetooth.BluetoothGatt gatt, int status, int newState) {
            if(mBluetoothGatt == null){
                Log.e(TAG, "mBluetoothGatt not created!");
                return;
            }

            device = gatt.getDevice();
            address = device.getAddress();
            try {
                switch (newState) {
                case BluetoothAdapter.STATE_CONNECTED:

                    Log.i(TAG, "STATE_CONNECTED:");
                    broadcastUpdate(ACTION_GATT_CONNECTED, device, status);
                    mBluetoothGatt.discoverServices();
                    // Attempts to discover services after successful connection.

                    break;
                case BluetoothAdapter.STATE_DISCONNECTED:
                    Log.i(TAG, "STATE_DISCONNECTED:");
                    gatt.close();

                    broadcastUpdate(ACTION_GATT_DISCONNECTED, device, status);
                    break;

                default:
                    Log.i(TAG, "New state not processed: " + newState);
                    break;
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // TODO: handle exception
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }

But the Android will disconnect immediately after connect , and the status of onServicesDiscovered also show 129 like the following log

Why this condition happened ?

It confuse me a few day...Does someone can help me? Thanks in advance.

I faced the same problem, then I restarted bluetooth. After the restart I, got this status error.

The following worked for me. Here's the code in Bluetooth service:

        @Override
        public void onServicesDiscovered(BluetoothGatt gatt, int status) {

            if (status != 0) {
                mBluetoothAdapter.disable();

        Timer single_timer = new Timer();
        single_timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                mBluetoothAdapter.enable();
            }
        }, 1000);


        Timer second_timer = new Timer();
        second_timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                gattServiceIntent = new Intent(context, BluetoothLeService.class);
                bindService(gattServiceIntent, mServiceConnection, BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
                mBluetoothLeService.initialize();
                mBluetoothLeService.connect(mDeviceAddress);
                //maybe you need wait 0.5-1 second to call connect() after called initialize()
            }
        }, 2000);


                Log.e(TAG, "An error code get at onServicesDiscovered= " + status);
            }
            if (status == BluetoothGatt.GATT_SUCCESS) {
                broadcastUpdate(ACTION_GATT_SERVICES_DISCOVERED);
            } else {
                Log.w(TAG, "onServicesDiscovered received: " + status);
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(1000);
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                mBluetoothGatt.discoverServices();
            }
        }
