nRF sniffer doesn't capture any packages after the connection is established

[Sebastian]

I try to capture a BLE connection with the nRF Sniffer.

I can see the advertisement packages, but after i established a connection from an andriod device i didn't get any packages.

What i did:

1.I start scanning for BLE devices with nRF Sniffer

2.Select the device i want to watch

3.start Wireshark.

At first when Wireshark starts up it shows me the advertising packets (should it do that if i select a specific device ?, it also shows other advertising BTE devices).

4.Then i did start the BLE connection from my mobile device.

Wireshark didn't show any connection related packets The only thing i can see are advertisement packets from other BLE devices without connection.

Is there any known issue ?

did you select the device you were going to connect to before connecting to it? The sniffer is in either a mode where it scans advertising packets or it's in a mode where it follows one specific device into connection, you have to select the device before you connect to it.
