BLE_LoopbackUART is not working with nRF51822-mkit with Nexus 5 running Android 5.0 - RESOLVED

  • <<Resolution: Ensure "Disconnect" from previous "device" before loading code of new device into mkit, if necessary use nRF-MCP to disconnect, or if disconnect not offered then load a 3rd sample into mkit and connect/disconnect from it using nRF-MCP>>*

<< It wasn't working, then it was, now with latest nRF Tools App update it stopped again, frustrating! It seems this may be an issue with the Nordic Apps, not the mbed code. >>

  • Using nRF51822-mkit with Nexus 5 running Android 5.0
  • Expected typing in App to go to mkit, then be echoed back for display on App
  • Not connecting to either App, when click connect getting:
    • Android nRF UART V2.0
      • Getting "Device doesn't support, Disconnecting"
    • Android nRF Toolbox:UART
      • Getting "The device does not have required services"
  • I power cycled phone, same result
  • I see some activity with nRF Sniffer, just not sure what to capture or how to capture to appropriate file to post here.
  • nRF MCP Showing:
    • BLE UART
    • D5:FB:53:CF:8D:29
    • NOT BONDED
    • BLE Only
    • Flags: BrEdrNotSupported
    • Services Complete List UUID 128: 6e400001-b5a3-f393-e0a9-e50e24dcca93

use UART Service to loopback anything received on the TX characteristic onto the RX. BLE, nRF UART

Have you posted your question here at Nordic Developer Zone? (https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/questions/) For these types of questions (general Bluetooth Smart issues) I think you have a much higher chance of getting your question answered there.

20141208 - It is working now. Not sure what different but there have been several updates by Nordic for Android5.0

20141210 - It stopped working again, on phone I again get "This device does not have required services". Maybe the phone is remembering the HRM application's info I ran on the mkit, and won't properly recognize the new application on the same mkit? How to clear info on the Android 5.0 Phone?

20141210 - Using nRF-MCP App (Master Control Panel) to connect/disconnect seems to work to clear previous history for connected device of the mkit.
