I am using nrf51822 with PCA 10001, SoftDevice S110 6.0 and SDK 5.2. I modified the HID example to send media keys, basically I just changed the report map and added a few functions for sending media keys. This all works great on iOS 7, I am able to connect and can send the media keys just fine. The iOS device will stay connected indefinitely.
However, on Android, I am seeing disconnection issues. I can connect just fine, and things work for about 30 seconds, but then it just disconnects. It does not matter if I press buttons (send media keys) or not, the connection is always lost after roughly 30 seconds. I looked at the ble_evt_t on disconnect and the reason code for disconnect is 8. As far as I can tell, that is HCI timeout.
I tried disabling the battery service, just to see if that helped. It didn't.
I tried using the sniffer application to capture the events. However, I must not be using it properly because nothing is captured once the android phone connects. I see the advertisements before the connection, but as soon as I connect, nothing. When the disconnect happens, I see hundreds of advertisements packets flood in from the nrf51822 to the Android phone, but I don't see anything while the connection is established.
Is there something different I need to do with Android to avoid this disconnection? Is there something else I can do to debug the problem? Right now, I am sort of stuck as I am not sure how to get more information about the problem. Please let me know. Thanks
