| Dec 9, 2020 at 15:23 | comment | added | Robert | Yes I assume the hardware is the problem. Unfortunately Aldi/Medion never published a detailed hardware spec of that device, it just says "quad core cpu" without manufacturer or type name. | |

| Dec 9, 2020 at 13:22 | comment | added | Robert | Android 5.1 has support for Bluetooth LE but it seems you phone on hardware level has only support for Bluetooth 4.0 without the optional BLE profile. | |
| Dec 9, 2020 at 13:06 | comment | added | darius | Thank you Robert, just edited. Basing on ""Android 4.3 (API level 18) introduced built-in platform support for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) I assumed, Android 5.1 supported BLE by default. If disabled, I would like to run CLI command to get it enabled, since Bluetooth works fine and no menu option for BLE | |
