Lots of "Unknown or Unsupported Devices" in unexpected locations (e.g., in transit)

Project Member Reported by elijahtaylor@chromium.org, Feb 22 2018

Issue description

Chrome Version: M64 beta channel (don't have specific version info anymore, and haven't re-tested on M65 build I have now)
OS: Chrome OS

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) be on a bus or car in traffic
(2) open bluetooth settings

What is the expected result?

very few devices in the list as you would not expect bluetooth discovery broadcasts on the road

What happens instead?

Loads of "Unknown or unsupported devices" in the list, unable to find and pair a legitimate device (like BT headphones in my case) because of the noise in the list


I encountered this problem on the bus on the way home, and again in the car the next day on a different route.  My Pixel 2 Android device did not report these additional devices either time.  Attached image of a partial list

Sonny could you look into this and see what's going on here?
We should also look at just not surfacing devices we have no idea what to do with.

Soon they will be not shown by default, so not a bug anymore. Sonny can probably not waste time on this.

Comment 3 by snanda@chromium.org, Feb 28 2018

What's changing that will make them not shown by default?  Is there a tracking bug we can link to?
