OpenCPN android 9 and NMEA messages through bluetooth

[pieterrv]

Hello!


I am using a AIS receiver with a bluetooth connection to my Tablet and phone.


Up to now this combination was working perfectly!


But on my new phone with Android 9, OpenCPN does not receive serial communication. (empty NMEA debug window)
With an APP to monitor serial communication does show NMEA communication through my bluetooth connection.
So, my conclusion was: phone does receive NMEA communication, but OpenCPN does not receive this messages?


My tablet working on Android 7 is OK!


What could be wrong?

Are you running the APP at the same time as Opencpn?
Here are some old notes about use of BT
