Thanks indeed. Yes, the file /var/lib/bluetooth/00:11:67:64:CB:18/config contains the line mode discoverable ; since I gave the second command you suggest, a second line appeared: discovto 0 , but that command seems to produce no result. Instead, the first command you suggest seems to work, but only for a limited time. Any other hint?
