Pairing/bonding with ble_app_template example not working for me

[Matej]

Hi,

I just recently got into designing Bluetooth devices and I am experimenting with NRF51822 and BLE400 board. I managed to compile and upload the examples from SDK 11.0.0 to the device with SEGGER Embedded Studio and I can advertise and connect to the device with nRF Connect app on my Android phone.

When I try to bond with nRF Connect it just hangs up after a couple of seconds. A similar thing happens if I try to pair with the phone directly.

Is there something I have to implement in the code of the example app?

Hi Matej,

When it "hang" what happened after that ? Would the device advertise ?

Please follow this guide and find out where in the code it stuck.

The ble_app_template does support bonding. Did you add any modification to the code ?
