UART Android App does not disconnect sometimes

UPDATE MAY 24TH

I had a chance to revisit this and I'm still seeing a failure to disconnect regardless of whether the device name is changed or not. So this is not the answer.

Ok, I think I got to the bottom of it since it happened again this evening. It occurred after I changed DEVICE_NAME from "Nordic_UART" to something else. As soon as the failure to disconnect happened in UART v 2.0 I changed the name back in the DK and opened the MCP for Android and was able to connect and disconnect fine. When I went back to UART v 2.0 the old name (i.e., my custom name) was still showing in the scans even though I had changed it back to "Nordic_UART" and it was "Nordic_UART" showing in other scanners such as LightBlue. It's as if UART v 2.0 and stored my custom name. So it appears that changing the DEVICE_NAME is causing some confusion in the Android apps making them not disconnect at times. I'll keep an eye on it and update this if I see any more.

Yes, was happening on that app too. Haven't seen it happen today, although I haven't thrashed it today like yesterday. Interestingly when it was happening, the Zopo Android phone and both apps would connect and disconnect fine with the nRF51 dongle even though at that time I could not connect and successfully disconnect from the nRF52 DK.

Does the same thing happen with nRF Master Control Panel for Android?
