Methods for aggregating Bluetooth profiles for faster connection and configuration are disclosed, including transmitting, subsequent to establishing a connection, a request message to a peer device that indicates support of a fast connection protocol for Bluetooth profiles configuration and receiving a response message from the peer device that indicates the peer device supports the fast connection protocol. After pairing with the peer device, a first list of profile descriptors for a plurality of Bluetooth profiles supported by the device may be transmitted to the peer device and a second list of profile descriptors for a plurality of Bluetooth profiles supported by the peer device may be received. A configuration of a plurality of Bluetooth profiles base, at least in part, on a comparison of the first list of profile descriptors to the second list of profile descriptors may be determined and transmitted to the peer device.

This document describes, inter alia, techniques for use at a wireless device for establishing communications with other devices, and for displaying related information in a graphical user interface. The wireless device may discover, pair with, and/or connect to other wireless devices, and may display a list of information regarding the other wireless devices in a graphical user interface. The wireless device may order the list based on factors such as: the connectivity status of the other devices (e.g., whether the other devices are connected, paired, or discovered); the types of the other wireless devices (e.g., whether the devices are human interface devices (HIDs), audio devices, phones, imaging devices, computers, or other types of devices); whether device names for the other wireless devices are known/unknown; and/or other factors. The features described herein may be implemented using Bluetooth wireless technology, and/or any other wireless technology.
