Extremely high current consumption during advertising - broadcast mode(ble_app_temp)

[Rafal]

I have written application similar to ble_app_temp (posted by Ole Morten) and during the test I noticed that current consumption is extremly high. I used brand new coin battery that was included in evaluation kit and after ~10 minutes battery status was only 40% ( I checked this also with ble_app_hrs app). At the beginning I though that it was caused by the data included in advertisment packet ( I added 10 bytes of data to manufacturer data - adv interval was 1 second), but then I tested my battery with original app (ble_app_temp) and the effect was the same. My question is: did anyone also encountered such a problem with high current consumpion in case of broadcaster mode? I will test different battery today but I am afraid that is not case of battery.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I will try this when I get back home, but not sure if this is the issue, because in first version of my app I didn't have battery service (just advertised manufacturer data). I added this service to check if battery is really discharging so fast.

Thank you for your answer.

Please try it, and if it works, I'd be happy if you could accept my answer. :) Your code seems to be running this code path, so I believe it should at least have some effect.
