ble adverting include mac address

[Fiske]

I have set the advdata.include_ble_device_address = true in advertising_init function. However, the mac address data is not shown in mobile APP.

Is it due to the fact that I have already include some data in advdata.manu_specific_data?

I am using nRF51822 with S130 softdevice

what is your application? Show me a adv_init function.

It is based on ble_app_uart

void advertising_init(void)

Hi Fiske , Try This One Adv_init.txt

What App are you using to view the advertising data. I thought the MAC address was always sent but most Apps don't show you the whole advertising packet
