now you are mixing things. The inquiry mode has nothing to do with the
scan mode.

The inquiry mode defines what inquiry result events you will see.
Basically you wanna use Inquiry with RSSI from the Bluetooth 1.2
specification to additionally get the RSSI value.

The scan mode defines is you are visible and connectable. The D-Bus API
sets you to connectable only unless you disable the discoverable timeout
and set your yourself to discoverable. This is a feature of the new 3.x
generation that will make you automatically unvisible after a certain
amount of time.

These two things are not related. And start sending in "hcidump -X -V"
outputs instead of speculating.

Regards

Marcel
