Android Issue: Service discovery / characteristic read times out after Bluetooth is toggled OFF → ON

[kathiresh-i2i]

Describe the bug
When a BLE device is already paired with the mobile phone and successfully connected, everything works as expected initially.
However, if Bluetooth is turned OFF and then ON again from the mobile system settings while the app is running, subsequent BLE operations fail.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Pair and connect a BLE device successfully
2. Perform service discovery and read characteristics (works fine)
3. Turn Bluetooth OFF from mobile system settings
4. Turn Bluetooth ON again
5. Attempt to call BluetoothLe.discover() or read any characteristic

Expected behavior

• App should be able to re-discover services and read characteristics after Bluetooth is turned back ON
• Existing or re-established connection should work without timing out

@kathiresh-i2i I just want to check, what does your automatic reconnection logic look like? isBonded here is not the same thing as the connection state, so this reporting true simply means a bond still exists... not that the device has been reconnected.
