GAP disconnect stops app timer

[Bryan V]

I'm running a BLE application on the nRF51822. And I have an application timer to keep track of the real time clock. However, when I receive a BLE_GAP_EVT_DISCONNECTED event, I notice the "m_conn_params_timer_id" timer gets stopped. But this timer ID is also the same as the RTC timer ID I have running (= 0), thus it is stopping my RTC app timer as well.

Is there a way around having to restart the RTC app timer whenever I receive the disconnect event? Or if I configure the RTC hardware registers directly will this get around this issue?

Thank you!

Neither of the above.

Your problem is that two timers have the same ID, which is clearly wrong, hence one or both of them were initialised incorrectly. So you need to fix that, as that is your actual issue.
