Reconnecting issue

Every time I try to connect to Android phone (running Android 7) or nrfConnect, it connects the first time. After I restart the nrf52 DK, the host takes a while to reconnect or does not connect at all, although its previously bonded. Restarting the board helps every time. What could be the issue in my firmware?

I tried changing the below parameters -

#define MIN_CONN_INTERVAL               MSEC_TO_UNITS(7.5/*100*/, UNIT_1_25_MS)            /**< Minimum acceptable connection interval (0.1 seconds). */
#define MAX_CONN_INTERVAL               MSEC_TO_UNITS(30/*200*/, UNIT_1_25_MS)            /**< Maximum acceptable connection interval (0.2 second). */
#define SLAVE_LATENCY                   0                                           /**< Slave latency. */
#define CONN_SUP_TIMEOUT                MSEC_TO_UNITS(100/*4000*/, UNIT_10_MS)             /**< Connection supervisory timeout (4 seconds). */

I'm using SDK 15.2 with custom gatt & dfu services with uart peripheral.

I also tried adding

static void whitelist_set(pm_peer_id_list_skip_t skip)
{
    pm_peer_id_t peer_ids[BLE_GAP_WHITELIST_ADDR_MAX_COUNT];
    uint32_t     peer_id_count = BLE_GAP_WHITELIST_ADDR_MAX_COUNT;
    ret_code_t err_code = pm_peer_id_list(peer_ids, &peer_id_count, PM_PEER_ID_INVALID, skip);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
    NRF_LOG_INFO("\tm_whitelist_peer_cnt %d, MAX_PEERS_WLIST %d", peer_id_count + 1, BLE_GAP_WHITELIST_ADDR_MAX_COUNT);
    //err_code = pm_whitelist_set(peer_ids, peer_id_count);
	err_code = pm_whitelist_set(NULL, 0);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}

static void advertising_start(bool erase_bonds)
{
    if (erase_bonds == true)
    {
        delete_bonds();
        // Advertising is started by PM_EVT_PEERS_DELETE_SUCCEEDED event.
    }
    else
    {
		whitelist_set(PM_PEER_ID_LIST_SKIP_NO_ID_ADDR);
        uint32_t err_code = ble_advertising_start(&m_advertising, BLE_ADV_MODE_FAST);
        APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
        NRF_LOG_DEBUG("advertising is started");
    }
}

case PM_EVT_CONN_SEC_CONFIG_REQ:
        {
            // Reject pairing request from an already bonded peer.
            pm_conn_sec_config_t conn_sec_config = {.allow_repairing = true};
            pm_conn_sec_config_reply(p_evt->conn_handle, &conn_sec_config);
        } break;

My advertising_init() -

static void advertising_init(void)
{
    uint32_t               err_code;
    ble_advertising_init_t init;
    memset(&init, 0, sizeof(init));
    init.advdata.name_type               = BLE_ADVDATA_FULL_NAME;
    init.advdata.include_appearance      = true;
    init.advdata.flags                   = BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_GENERAL_DISC_MODE;
    //init.advdata.uuids_complete.uuid_cnt = 1;//sizeof(m_adv_uuids) / sizeof(m_adv_uuids[0]);
    //init.advdata.uuids_complete.p_uuids  = m_adv_uuids;
	//init.advdata.uuids_complete.p_uuids  = &m_adv_uuids[1];
	/*new*/
	init.config.ble_adv_whitelist_enabled          = false;//true;	/*BEBOP*/
	init.srdata.name_type               = BLE_ADVDATA_NO_NAME;//BLE_ADVDATA_NO_NAME;
	init.srdata.uuids_complete.uuid_cnt = 1;//sizeof(m_adv_uuids) / sizeof(m_adv_uuids[0]);
	init.srdata.uuids_complete.p_uuids  = &m_adv_uuids[0];
	init.srdata.uuids_more_available.uuid_cnt = 1;
	init.srdata.uuids_more_available.p_uuids = &m_adv_uuids[1];
	/*new*/
	init.config.ble_adv_fast_enabled  = true;
    init.config.ble_adv_fast_interval = APP_ADV_INTERVAL;
    init.config.ble_adv_fast_timeout  = APP_ADV_DURATION;
	init.config.ble_adv_extended_enabled = true;
	
    advertising_config_get(&init.config);
    init.evt_handler = on_adv_evt;
    err_code = ble_advertising_init(&m_advertising, &init);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
    ble_advertising_conn_cfg_tag_set(&m_advertising, APP_BLE_CONN_CFG_TAG);
}

    Hi. 

    From the code you uploaded, I can't see why you don't receive the disconnect event. You should see the disconnected event when you disconnect using your phone. 

    Are you using an application for connecting/disconnecting, or are you using the native bluetooth settings on the phone to connect/disconnect?

    If you aren't seeing the disconnection event, you could try to reduce the connection timeout and see if you would get the timeout/disconnect event after the timeout expires.

    Best regards,
    Joakim
