Do developers know that Bluetooth 4 (LE) does not work?

[body150165]

Hello,

support for energy saving BT 4.0 standard was proudly introduced with Android 4.3 and the S4 supports it hardware-wise.

Unfortunately, as I learned, Android delivers improper BT4-stacks to be able to connect a BT LE- device to the S4 (and others as well).

Third party apps like "BLE Heart Rate Monitor" and others seem to override/correct it (somehow) as they can connect to the BT LE device.

Does any developer think to take a look at this?

I intentionally posted it here, as this is the place where the devs and ROM-Makers show their work.

So, I guess that many/most devs don't know about this as BT4-devices are not so popular yet, but will be.
