In the ble_app_proximity project in SDK 0.9.2, I was trying to add manufacturer data to the beacon. Here are some of the code snippets which I changed in main.c 
 #define APP_BEACON_INFO_LENGTH 0x17 /**&amp;lt; Total length of information advertised by</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 23 Nov 2015 01:47:27 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/10369/adding-manufacturer-data-to-proximity-beacon" /><item><title>RE: Adding Manufacturer data to Proximity beacon</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/38479?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 23 Nov 2015 01:47:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:42c18a76-0d3b-4099-abd0-862311f9b02e</guid><dc:creator>Ank</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks! You were correct it is due to the excess data in the advertising packet. I will try to add some of the data in the scan response.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Adding Manufacturer data to Proximity beacon</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/38478?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2015 11:40:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:206791aa-789e-41db-ba3a-648f5724710e</guid><dc:creator>RK</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;That almost always means you generated an error, APP_ERROR_CHECK() checked the error and went to the error handler.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What&amp;#39;s err_code at the end of that piece of code, if it&amp;#39;s not zero, that&amp;#39;s an error setting the advertising data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Always, always when the code appears not to do anything, check to see if you are in your error handler.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The iBeacon data fills the advertising data completely leaving no room for anything else, so adding a name and uuids is not going to work, it won&amp;#39;t fit. You can put a little of that in the scan response, but probably not all of it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
