Advertise full name only

[Constantin]

Hi,

I have the following initialization for advertising:

    ret_code_t             err_code;
    ble_advertising_init_t init;

    memset(&init, 0, sizeof(init));


    init.advdata.name_type               = BLE_ADVDATA_FULL_NAME;
    init.advdata.include_appearance      = true;
    init.advdata.flags                   = BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_GENERAL_DISC_MODE;
    init.advdata.uuids_complete.uuid_cnt = sizeof(m_adv_uuids[0]) / sizeof(m_adv_uuids[0]);
    init.advdata.uuids_complete.p_uuids  = &m_adv_uuids[service_index];

    NRF_LOG_INFO("UUID %i, index %i", init.advdata.uuids_complete.p_uuids->uuid, service_index);

    init.srdata.name_type 				= BLE_ADVDATA_FULL_NAME;

    init.config.ble_adv_fast_enabled  = true;
    init.config.ble_adv_fast_interval = APP_ADV_INTERVAL;
    init.config.ble_adv_fast_timeout  = APP_ADV_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS;

    init.evt_handler = on_adv_evt;

    err_code = ble_advertising_init(this->m_advertising, &init);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

    ble_advertising_conn_cfg_tag_set(this->m_advertising, APP_BLE_CONN_CFG_TAG);

    NRF_LOG_INFO("Advertising initialized.");

The name consists of an acronym od three letters and a underscore e,g, XXX_ and a six digit ID. Like XXX_12E124.

On iOS I can see the full name normally, on android aswell but sometimes I only get XXX_. This is very often the case when I try to connect to a PC e.g. mac book or Linux Ubuntu. It takes several seconds until the full name is advertised. How can I force to only advertise the full name and not the short name.

Thanks,

Constantin

Your appearance is enable....So how about your appearance data ?

My project is appearance is disable.

#define DEVICE_NAME                     "FOXLINK_BLE" 

static void advertising_init(void)
{
uint32_t err_code;
ble_advertising_init_t init;

memset(&init, 0, sizeof(init));

init.advdata.name_type = BLE_ADVDATA_FULL_NAME;
init.advdata.include_appearance = false;
init.advdata.flags = BLE_GAP_ADV_FLAGS_LE_ONLY_LIMITED_DISC_MODE;

init.srdata.uuids_complete.uuid_cnt = sizeof(m_adv_uuids) / sizeof(m_adv_uuids[0]);
init.srdata.uuids_complete.p_uuids = m_adv_uuids;

init.config.ble_adv_fast_enabled = true;
init.config.ble_adv_fast_interval = APP_ADV_INTERVAL;
init.config.ble_adv_fast_timeout = APP_ADV_DURATION;
init.evt_handler = on_adv_evt;

err_code = ble_advertising_init(&m_advertising, &init);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

ble_advertising_conn_cfg_tag_set(&m_advertising, APP_BLE_CONN_CFG_TAG);
}

static void gap_params_init(void)
{
uint32_t err_code;
ble_gap_conn_params_t gap_conn_params;
ble_gap_conn_sec_mode_t sec_mode;

BLE_GAP_CONN_SEC_MODE_SET_OPEN(&sec_mode);

err_code = sd_ble_gap_device_name_set(&sec_mode,
(const uint8_t *) FL310_name,
strlen(FL310_name));
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

memset(&gap_conn_params, 0, sizeof(gap_conn_params));

gap_conn_params.min_conn_interval = MIN_CONN_INTERVAL;
gap_conn_params.max_conn_interval = MAX_CONN_INTERVAL;
gap_conn_params.slave_latency = SLAVE_LATENCY;
gap_conn_params.conn_sup_timeout = CONN_SUP_TIMEOUT;

err_code = sd_ble_gap_ppcp_set(&gap_conn_params);
APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}

The ios& android can advertise the full name.

You may check your adv. package type & length.
