ble_nfc_pairing_reference_pca10040_s132 fails to Bond

[ChrisHo]

Hi

I am trying to connect and bond a nrf52832 to Galaxy S6, Android 7.0 by OOB / NFC with the
ble_nfc_pairing_reference_pca10040_s132 example.

I selected LE Secure Connections OOB pairing by pressing Press Button 2 after start.

The bonding fails with the following debug log:

<debug> nrf_ble_lesc: Initialized nrf_crypto.
<debug> nrf_ble_lesc: Initialized nrf_ble_lesc.

The message on the phone is "Couldn't pair.."

I get the same problem with example 'ble_app_hrs_nfc_pairing'

My question:

a) potential reasons?

b) where can I find description for error code 4352?

c) strategies for debugging issues?

Thank you for your support.

Update: SD V6.1.1, SDK 15.3

Connecting and bonding with nRF Connect (but not with NFC) works fine.
