Re: [Bluez-users] how to scan for other bluetooth device

[Jacky Cheung <jackycheung@e28.com.hk>]

Hi all,

My mobile device is MOTO A760. And set it is "Find Me"

in the PC, here are my steps:

# hciconfig hci0 up
# hcitool scan

Sometimes I saw it scanning from few seconds, sometimes it returns quickly


Thanks a lot
