Hello Emek,

I believe what you are seeing is that the advertising type is set within ble_advertising_start():

uint32_t ble_advertising_start(ble_advertising_t * const p_advertising,
                               ble_adv_mode_t            advertising_mode)
{
    ...

    p_advertising->adv_params.properties.type = BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_CONNECTABLE_SCANNABLE_UNDIRECTED;

    ...
}

If you are setting this setting manually before you call ble_advertising_start(), please comment out this line from the ble_advertising_start() implementation.

Best regards,

Edvin
