That error perhaps is misleading as it doesn't change anything perhaps we should return no error. Btw, if Im not mistake we do re-enable the notifications when reconnecting: bluetoothd[8777]: src/gatt-client.c:register_notify() Re-register subscribed notification client < ACL Data TX: Handle 3585 flags 0x00 dlen 9 ATT: Write Request (0x12) len 4 Handle: 0x0011 Data: 0100 > Other possible workarounds without clearing GATT DB are > 1) Skip re-register notify in btd_gatt_client_connected() and clear > chrc->notify_clients and client->all_notify_clients for unpaired > devices. > 2) Clear chrc->service->client->all_notify_clients in > btd_gatt_client_disconnected() for unpaired devices. See above, I think we can just remove the error of already registered since we it should already be registered is just a NOP. > Any comments are appreciated. > > Thanks, > Miao > > On Thu, May 25, 2017 at 12:44 AM, Von Dentz, Luiz > wrote: >> Hi, >> >> On Thu, May 25, 2017 at 3:10 AM, wrote: >>> From: Miao-chen Chou >>> >>> This patch adds gatt_db_cleanup() function to clear client-role GATT DB= for the >>> unpaired device.
