Android transport type for GATT causing failures on some devices

[keerl]

I am encountering strange behaviors when using this plugin on Android across different devices. On most phones it works perfectly, and on some other phones I get failures right after (or during) connection (Samsung Galaxy s10e).

I have been able to track this down to the connectGatt() function and the problem has to do with selecting the transport param. Currently this option is hard coded to TRANSPORT_LE (https://github.com/nativescript-community/ble/blob/master/src/bluetooth.android.ts#L1721) where the other options are TRANSPORT_AUTO and TRANSPORT_BREDR (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/bluetooth/BluetoothDevice#connectGatt(android.content.Context,%20boolean,%20android.bluetooth.BluetoothGattCallback,%20int)).

I experimented with my Galaxy s10e and found that things only work when I set the transport to TRANSPORT_BREDR or TRANSPORT_AUTO.

Is there a reason that this is hard-coded for TRANSPORT_LE and not TRANSPORT_AUTO?

@keerl good catch! i think this has been like this since the beginning of time. Did not even know it existed!
Fixed in 3.0.28
EDIT: @keerl i still kept the default as TRANSPORT_LE. Seems like the best choice JuulLabs/kable#61

Perfect! Works great. Thanks for the quick patch @farfromrefug
