I usually look out for such things, but in this case, I missed it. Thanks so much for the very prompt response and providing the correct answer.</p> <p>Cheers!</p> <p>-ujwal</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/38872?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 24 Nov 2015 19:03:36 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:85b6e615-75b1-465b-b33e-b6023661cfaaEric Stutzenberger<p>Hi ujwal,</p> <p>If you started from one of the Nordic SDK examples, then yes, advertising likely stops after 180 seconds. At the top of main.c, look for APP_ADV_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS. You should be able to change this to 0 so that your application will always advertise unless your code specifically tells it to stop. At one point there was a bug in the SDK which prevented infinite advertising but I believe this was fixed at some point.</p> <p>Hope this helps,</p> <p>Eric</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
