yes. i tried the inquiries with "hcitool scan".
again, i do 5 and more inquiries in a row with one second sleep between
inquiries single "hcitool scan"'s...

here what i noted:
- it needs in average 4 inquiries to get a new device after it's in
rainge (4 single "hcitool scan" until it's visible).
- it needs in average 2 inquiries to see that a device is no longer in
rainge (or has bluetooth disabled). the first new inquiry usually gives
"n/a" as the friendlyName, the second one doesn't list it again.
does maybe bluez or my bluetooth dongle cache old inquiries or is there
still radiation in the air :-) ?

- during scans, if nothin changes (no new/disappeared devices), the
friendlyName changes to n/a for a single inquiry (very rare, but it happens)

- if multiple new devices come in rainge, old devices migt have a n/a
friendlyName (the right one comes back in the next scan)


thanks for your time...

kind regards
Marco

Hi Marco,

look at the HCI part of the Bluetooth specification for the commands and
events for periodic inquiry.

for me this sounds more like a job periodic inquiry.
