RE: nRF52840 not appearing when scanning in the NRFConnect application (Using the Long-Range example 1MPBS)

Hello, first of all thanks for helping out.

I have as shown in the included code above set the primary/secondary phy to 1MBPS, am I missing something? Also I noticed that the scannable isn't possible to be set since the application would return invalid params when running the sd_ble_gap_adv_start() function. Could maybe this be the cause of the device not appearing when scanning through the mobile phone?

EDIT 16/4-18: I Successfully managed to scan for the device today after setting the legacy_pdu = 1 and scannable = 1, but don't understand the functionality of the legacy pdu?

Hi,

In the example on github the peripheral advertises, as you say, on coded phy (aka long range) and the central is also scanning on coded phy. Devices must advertise and scan on the same phy to be able to discover each other. I'm not aware of any phones compatible with coded phy.
