Add support for Galaxy Note 3

[Frank Zhao]

The nRF Utility app for Android does not support the Galaxy Note 3 yet. Probably because the phone has only been released for a few days so far.

Please add support for it, currently it gives me a dialog that says "Device is not supported", I think you have a explicit check for Galaxy Note 2 in your code and you should simply just allow Galaxy Note 3, and depend on the API to handle the specifics.

It's your device and nothing at all to do with Nordic or their implementation. You have Samsung and Google to thank for the fragmented BLE support.

You'll notice on iOS devices that BLE is very easy to use and transparent. Which is the way Bluetooth Smart was designed to work.

I tried changing the broadcast name which was not easy but after installing the nRFgoStudio and editing the XML file with it - I managed to change the name yet the UART program no longer works . I verified this issue comparing the original "ublue_setup.gen.out.txt file with the same file re-compiles and they are different . I am assuming this makes the UART Arduino program stop working properly . After the re-compilation using "run_me_compile_xml_to_nRF8001_setup.bat" I get this error: ACI Evt Pipe Error: Pipe #:4 Pipe Error Code: 0x96

I have no idea where to find the meaning of this code .

The command suggested to rename the broadcast name does not work (even in the example it is commented out and when removing the comment it fails to compile): // Set your BLE Shield name here, max. length 10 //ble_set_name("TEST");

Chat:39: error: 'ble_set_name' was not declared in this scope

I guess these are all maturity issues with the BLE but I can't express enough the complexity of the BLE HW/SW compared to standard BT which I wish I could use with the iPhone .

Any help would be appreciated.

I'd strongly recommend you to post your questions separately instead of going on in an existing thread about a completely unrelated problem.

However, I'd actually argue that BLE is much simpler than Bluetooth classic in most ways. You may have use in taking a look at this question: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/index.php/is-there-a-serial-port-profile-for-ble Also, even though you're working with the nRF8001, you may have use in reading nAN-36, to be introduced to some general concepts: https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/content/download/34055/573345/file/nAN-36.zip
