While running the following ADB Command, the above error thrown in CLI.

Enable:

adb shell service call bluetooth_manager 6

Disable:

adb shell service call bluetooth_manager 9

Also tried with the appium android driver activity, Nearly the same permission issue in Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (7.1.1), Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (7.0). But both activity and ADB command works fine in Samsung Galaxy S7 edge (7.0).

Android driver activity error:

Any solutions would be appreciated.

Answer 1

the problem that you had faced because that you run your command without root permission.

run this command if your phone is already rooted:

adb root

after:

adb shell service call bluetooth_manager 6
