I see. Then the only reason I can think of is the string you pass to ble_advdata_short_name_find is of same length or longer than the short name. Is that the case? If so, it would not meet the criteria on line 682 in ble_advdata.c (SDK 15.0.0).

I don't have a normal advertising name. I encode my name (short name) then I specify that my name is a short local name with the flag in my advertising data ...

Hi,

I do not see any issue with the way you call ble_advdata_short_name_find(). What is the length of the normal advertising name (not the short name)? The reason I ask is the following note from the API documentation:

If the shortened name in the Advertising data has the same length as the target name, this function will return false, since this means that the complete name is actually longer, thus different than the target name.
