nRF Master Control Panel Nexus 4 Mi Band

While I am waiting for my hardware I wanted to test the control panel with my Xiaomi Mi Band.

But I only get a single horizontal line in the RSSI Graph..

As I read this: *Known problems:

  • Nexus 4 and 7 notifies only about the first adv. packets from connectible peripherals, RSSI graph does not update for them.*

I was ok with it at first.. but now I found in the Play Store description: FIXED: Disable "Continuous scanning" in settings to get more packets on this devices.

But it didn't do the trick to me.

Is maybe anyone here with a Nexus 4 or Mi Band who could check if he is able to get it working?

  • @mugkuhns: I'm trying with "Continuous scanning" option turned off, and even though pretty slow, the RSSI is notified and changed when I moving the Nexus 7 around.

    Which Android version is on your MiBand and Nexus 4 ?

  • Ah damn it. I once again missclicked convert to answer...

    Yes, I do have different RSSI values when I change the distance between the devices. And that's the point: "there is no reason "disable continuous scan" can't capture changes on the RSSI." But still it won't. Sometimes it gives me at least 3 short horizontal lines (with different RSSI values)... but that was it.

    But I tried the MiBand with another phone and the Control Panel and it did work as expected.. So it must be a problem on the Nexus 4 side.. Well I ordered my nRF51-DK and I'll try it again with a simple advertising package and my phone...
