I will gladly donate to the individual/s who has made progress in this matter. I would need something a little more complete to test. Instead of just setting scanning to 0, couldn't there be conditions to stop scanning once a wifi connection has been made and/or when bluetooth connection is active? Can it be made into a settings menu with slide switches for those types of options? You guys are getting into the realm of the limit of my understanding of how the system works so obviously for people like myself we would need something a little more straightforward to work with thanks so much for the reply!
