device disconnect when sending uin32_t

[Yacire]

Hi Nordic's community,

I have an issue when writing uint32_t to a characteristic, i don't understand when i write uint16_t or uin8_t, it works ! but don't when i send an uin32_t value to my characteristic ?

My Android device (with Master control panel) disconnect when i try to write to this characteristic...

I add my characteristic like this:

attr_char_value.p_uuid       = &ble_uuid;
attr_char_value.p_attr_md    = &attr_md;
attr_char_value.init_len     = sizeof(uint32_t);
attr_char_value.init_offs    = 0;
attr_char_value.max_len      = sizeof(uint32_t);
attr_char_value.p_value      = (uint8_t*) &initalValueAlarm;

with initialValueAlarm is an uin32_t type variable.

My write funtion handler is like this:

if ( (p_evt_write->handle == p_lbs->led_char_handles.value_handle) && (p_evt_write->len == 4) && (p_lbs->led_write_handler != NULL)) 
	
{
    p_lbs->led_write_handler(p_lbs, *( (uint32_t*) p_evt_write->data )); 
			SEGGER_RTT_printf(0, "%d\n", *( (uint32_t*) p_evt_write->data ));
}

It works perfeclty with uint16_t or uint8_t type but not with uint32_t type, and i don't understand why... Thanks for your help.

EDIT 13/06/2016:

I add two pictures of the nrf master control panel, one with the characteristic and one with the error:

and the error on the NRF MCP:

and the characteristic:

EDIT 14/06/2016:

I add the demo project:experimental_ble_app_blinky.zip folder.

EDIT 15/06/2016:

I add the modified ble_lbs librarie:

ble_lbs.zip

The error 133 is known to be a bit difficult to debug, since it just signifies a "GATT error" and gives no indication of what's wrong. You will see there is a lot of questions about error 133 (0x85) on this forum and on google. A lot of the cases turns out to be some issue with android versions or phones.

What phone, Android version, and Softdevice version do you use?

I also saw a case where the issue was that the phone was caching information about the device and its services. When the user then changed the code and service he got the error. Maybe you can try to clear the BLE cache. A common way to do it is to turn bluetooth off and on again on your phone.
