Does device scan work when phone is locked?
See original GitHub issueHello!
I use react-native-ble-plx to scan devices and it works well while the phone isn’t locked. When I lock the phone the scan stops. After device is unlocked scan works again.
So is it possible to scan BLE devices while the phone is locked?
I use LowLatency mode for scanning and phone with Android 10.
{ scanMode: ScanMode.LowLatency }

Filters adequate for the advertisement of the peripheral you are interested it. You cannot “scan everything” in the background because it may be used to locate the user.
@dariuszseweryn, I added android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION to AndroidManifest.xml and enabled “Allow all the time” in settings but it seems to have no effect. What filters and permissions should I add to make it work?
