I'd say that the MotoG does not use the resolvable addresses when advertises. That's why you can connect to is with Galaxy S3. There is also a chance, that you won't be able to connect from MotoG to your advertising S4. Or they support it in peripheral mode...

Thanks Aleksander for your reply!! But I am not sure about one aspect here. You said that Central device must support resolvable addresses (i.e. has to have Android 5.0 atleast). But where as my Central device (Galaxy S3 Android 4.3) is unable to connect to Advertising module running on Galaxy S4, it is able to connect to Advertising module running on MotoG first generation!! So, in short the same Central mode device demonstrate different behavior with two different peripheral mode device. Please clarify!!

Hi,

You will be able to connect to an advertising Android device, with the Connectable flag set only with a device that supports resolvable addresses. Android supports them since Android 5.0 Lollipop. You won't be able to connect to it using an older version of this system. Your test device (Samsung S3) has Android 4.3 so it will fail.
