 The problem is because of these flags I only have 26 bytes left instead of full 29 bytes. It is crucial for me to have no less than 29 bytes.

The MBED packet, if indeed it&amp;#39;s BLE is an illegal and an ill-formed packet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Nordic functions which create advertising packets will only create standards-compliant ones.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you make an actual product and do this, you will not pass BLE certification.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course since you have access to the raw advertising buffer you can do whatever you want, just don&amp;#39;t go trying to get certified.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: BLE advertisment flags problem</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/104377?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 02 Nov 2017 20:18:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:9ede3afa-fba2-4018-a7c6-317f4f8d1aa5</guid><dc:creator>RK</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;can you sniff your MBED packet and see what&amp;#39;s in it? And then sniff your no-flags nordic packet and see in what ways they differ?

The problem is that if I set it to 0 (omit flags) it does not recognize the packets and if i look at the in the raw window via nRF Connect it says empty.
I have a program that was made with Mbed&amp;#39;s implementation of BLE and there I&amp;#39;m able to send a packet that contains no flag information but is still recognizable by nRF Connect.
Is there no way to replicate this behavior?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: BLE advertisment flags problem</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/104375?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 02 Nov 2017 11:33:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:5f605a46-8194-4c08-8781-356b557a8844</guid><dc:creator>Joakim Jakobsen</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi dautor!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#39;s several threads regarding this around DevZone.&lt;br /&gt;
Take a look at Sigurd&amp;#39;s answer in &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/110720/ad-flags-needed-in-every-advertising-packet/?answer=110752#post-id-110752"&gt;this thread&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
