Hi Pål,

"The limited discoverable mode is not allowed to advertise longer than a certain period of time."
Can you reveal the maximal period of time that this mode permits?

Beste Regards, Joao

Hi Maciej,

Do you think you could set one of the answers as accepted answer, as this will help others finding a solution to their symptom of a problem.

Carles, Pål

Thank you for your quick response. You were right. I was advertising with BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_LIMITED_DISC_MODE. After changing it to BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_GENERAL_DISC_MODE no error is returned when I try to set timeout value to zero. Thanks once again!

Best regards, Maciej

Hi Maciej,

This could happen if you have set the flags in the advertisement data to be BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAG_LE_LIMITED_DISC_MODE. The limited discoverable mode is not allowed to advertise longer than a certain period of time.

In undiscoverable mode and general discoverable mode this should not be an issue.

Hi,

Have you set the advertisement data first with:

sd_ble_gap_adv_data_set()

You will need to do that first so that the stack knows what adv flags you intend to use, and check whether those are compatible with unlimited advertising.
