can nrf_connect for andrio scan for long range ble advertise

[pzz]

I want to use long range ble for advertising with nrf52833. I have a PCA10100 SDK board, and I'm running a program with type of BLE_GAP_ADV_TYPE_EXTENDED_NONCONNECTABLE_SCANNABLE_UNDIRECTED. Then I use nrf_connect for andrio in a mobile phone to scan for it. I have seen the device information of the phone and found that it surported long range(PHY Coded). but I can't scan my PCA10100 SDK. What reason is it?

It return NRF_SUCESS. What do you mean to say "using another nRF", Is it using another phone? or using another program?

you will need to write an application that scans on long range to be running on a separate nRF. I didn't understand the second screenshot from your mobile phone. There it says that none of the Bluetooth 5 features are available.

I got some clarity in the "bug" in nRF Connect:

The issue is that some phones support some long range features. In particular they support Long range when a connection is entered. That is, they scan on 1MBPS, then connect to a peripheral, and then you can switch to long range. Some of these phones does not support scanning on CODED_PHY (long range). But the way that nRF Connect for iOS checks this is just by reading a bit that says whether or not long range is supported. That bit doesn't say whether scanning in CODED_PHY is supported. 

Please search devzone for scanning in long range. I have not done this myself, but there are a few posts discussing it. 

If you are able to pick up long range advertisements using a custom application on an nRF acting as a scanner, but not on the cellphone, that would suggest that the phone doesn't support scanning on Long Range.
