Close To Me support forum

[sofleo]

Close To Me makes you phone visible to everybody (see below), it stores bluetooh mac addresses of other persons in an SQLite database, and also your mac address will be stored inside databases of other persons.
Your mac address will remain saved inside other user's database for a potentially infinitive time. It will be removed only if the other user decides to remove it.

Downloading and using Close To Me you will explicitly accept that your information will be saved in a database. You accept also that you could be found on Facebook by persons who have this application.
The author of this sofware cannot be kept responsible for misuse of Close To Me.

There are some other important things to be noticed.
Close To Me need to set the bluetooth name of your device and this name doesn't have to be modified, otherwise nobody will be able to find you.
For this reason Close To Me check if you change the name of your devide and in this case it brings it back to the name it needs.
Since on Android (at least before version 4, as far as I know) it is not possible to leave your bluetooth always visible, Close To Me, try to enable discoverability.
If you install Close To Me on a rooted phone, everything will works automatically. If the phone is not rooted, Close To Me will ask you to enable the discoverability and it will ask every 300 seconds (I'm sorry).
As far as I know it is not possible to do it in another way. I will try to remove this big limitation if possible. There are two check boxes, the first is to enable or not the discoverability, if it is not enabled you will be able to find others but nobody will be able to find you.
The second check box is to ask to enable the discoverability in case your phone is not rooted.
