Scan period for devices that support multiple advertisements callbacks in single scan

[Eric Dorphy]

Is there any advantage to using scan periods on devices that invoke callbacks for every advertisement? That is to say, if I'm not worried about power consumption. I've noticed the stack getting into an error state (can't find callback) and beacons are not getting discovered so I figure less frequently we toggle start/stop scanning less likely to encounter issues.

For example, Android Things on Intel Edison, the stack provides every callback. Technically, per Android API you can tell the stack you want all callbacks in your ScanSettings, but having developed with Android Bluetooth for a while I've learned better. It's the wild west and observed behavior frequently contradicts documentation official.
