And as a follow up, I found this directly from google...

"Bluetooth Smart technology uses the low-energy feature of Bluetooth 4.0 and allows phones and tablets to connect to low-power sensors and other devices. To connect to a Bluetooth Smart device, you'll need to use an app designed to be compatible with it; many device manufacturers develop dedicated apps for this purpose."

@scturner06: I experienced that on my Galaxy S6 also. However, the bluetooth setting is not the best place for you to connect to your device. You should only use that when it's HID device for mouse and keyboard(on iOS you won't be able to see your device if it's not HID).

When it come to other profile, you should use the specific app for that profile to connect.

My observation was that when using the Bluetooth setting to select, the phone will try to bond, after bonding, it will disconnect the connection.
