Of course it can be changed, quite easily. I bet it is done by something like:

sd_ble_gap_appearance_set(BLE_APPEARANCE_HID_KEYBOARD);

I would just change it to:

sd_ble_gap_appearance_set(BLE_APPEARANCE_UNKNOWN);

edit. Did not notice that Sigurd already answered :) so, just like he said.

Hi,

The appearance value is typically set in the gap_params_init() function, using the SoftDevice function sd_ble_gap_appearance_set(). In order for the peripheral to appear as a keyboard, the function is called with the argument BLE_APPEARANCE_HID_KEYBOARD. Here is the list of all appearance values. You can try to set the value to BLE_APPEARANCE_UNKNOWN, and see if that solves your android issues. In the gap_params_init() function:

err_code = sd_ble_gap_appearance_set(BLE_APPEARANCE_UNKNOWN);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
