nRF Master Control Panel Nexus 4 Mi Band

[muhkuhns]

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 ?

@muhkuhns: I think I know the problem. For some reasons (to reduce power consumption?) with Android v5.0 and Nexus' devices the scanning windows is very small and scanning interval is large. The result is that it's pretty hard to capture an advertising packet on Nexus devices unless you advertise very frequently.

In your case, I suspect the MiBand advertises with not very small advertising interval (few hundreds ms ? ). What you're planning is good, with the DK you can test with short advertising interval.
