Unable to detect nRF52833 with Peripheral Coded PHY

[adam_atmo]

Hi,

I am programming the nRF52833 and using NCS v2.00. I have recently programmed the Peripheral Coded PHY to the board. I am using a Google Pixel 3 with nRF Connect as a central device.

When I scan for peripheral on the Android device, the HR peripheral does not come up? I am not sure why this is. I have programmed many other Bluetooth samples to the nRF52833 and tested them successfully with the Android device.

Thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam

Can you link to where you found that the Pixel 4 supports scanning in Coded PHY? I found this discussion in our Android BLE library on Github, where one of our developers confirm that the Pixel 4 does not support scanning on the Coded PHY. It will be able to support a connection in Coded PHY, but that connection will have to be initialized and created in the 1MBPS PHY initially I'm afraid.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

Perhaps you are right. Once connected, I was able to update the PHY to Coded PHY. The only change I made to the code was adding a few lines in the proj.conf file. Does that sound right to you?

Also, why does advertising on Coded PHY require extended advertising? Can’t legacy advertising be used?

This is where I saw the Coded PHY is supported.
