Thank you Petter for the quick response.

Yes, there were to much data in the advertising package. Reducing the manufacturer specific data solve the problem. Thank you very much.

Nothing changes or nothing happends?

If you mean that it doesn't advertise, I would guess it is simply because your advertisement packet is to big. You can use the debugger to find out, put a breakpoint in the app_error_handler() and find out what there error is a where it comes from.

There is a reason the ble_app_beacon doesn't have a name, it is unnecessary. To maximize the information included in the packet, major and minor values are used. You could try to remove something from the packet, for example the Manufacturer specific data, see if anything happends then.
