Proximity application is not working in android smart phone

[balaji]

Hi, How can i test the proximity application with the use of nexus4 smart phone and nrf51822 evaluation board? We already tested the ios proximity application which are all working fine. When we try to test the android application we are facing lot of problem's. For ios we have three application's to test 1.nRF Toolbox, 2. nRF Utility, 3. nRF proximity, but for android 4.3 we have only one application nRF Toolbox, that is also not working. It gives error like, error on connection state change and error on discovering sevices. Is there any other proximity application we can get with the source code?

Regards, Balaji.

@Balaji: It seems that the Nexus 4 had trouble when discovering the services. Have you tried disable wifi when connecting ? A reset on the phone is also worth to try. Could you let me know your Baseband version, Kernel version and Buildnumber in the "About Device" list ? Please send your firmware on the EV kit as well.

@Paul: We had issues with Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 before, especially when bonding is performed. However, after the update recently to Android 4.4.2, we found that the problem of re-connect after bonding was disappeared and also was able to un-pair. We was able to test only with our Nexus device samples that we have in house here, this may not true with other Nexus devices that may have different ROM built.

The Samsung devices that run Android 4.3 seems to be most stable and bug free at this moment. However, there are some new features added in Android 4.4 these devices missing, such as HID over GATT.
