Depending on whether you're using the phone as the scanner or peripheral, there are different ways to do so. If the phone is your scanner, you'll have to set coded_PHY in the advertising settings (on the nRF side). There are no filters for this in the scanner in the nRFConnect app, so you'll just have to filter it otherwise.

If you're using your phone as an advertiser you can set the phone to only advertise in coded_PHY within the app.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your answer

How can I know what the PHY (LE 1M,2M or coded) is operated at the time ? How can we check on nRFConnect app ?

Thank you for your answer

Best Regards,

The nRFConnect app for Android supports Coded PHY as long as the phone is Long Range capable. Another phone to add to the Coded PHY. Btw, you can check if your phone supports Coded_PHY within the nRFConnect app as well. Swipe left and press "Device Information, and you should get to a window where your phone's Bluetooth capabilities, etc. As you can see in the screenshot, the Nokia 8.1 should support coded PHY as well.

Best regards,

Simon

The OnePlus 6 is the only phone we've tested and confirmed the BLE Long Range with, see this case, and follow my colleague Vidar's links. Although now there are multiple phones supporting this feature, including newer versions of the OnePlus phones, Samsung S8 and newer, and reportedly the newer versions of Huawei flagship models. We don't have any specific recommendations on what phone to use, so that's basically up to your preference (and budget).

Best regards,

Simon
