BLE Nano 2 Failed in discovering services

I recently moved from BLE Nano to BLE Nano 2 and I'm using mbed.org as my development platform. I was able to make the blinky work, but my attempt to use BLE kept failing. I have downloaded several sample code from the template, use nRF-DK52 as the platform (according to https://github.com/redbear/nRF5x/blob/master/nRF52832/docs/Mbed_IDE_User_Guide.md) . I was able to get the BLE to advertise, but every attempt to connect (using Android's nRFConnect) stopped in "Discovering Services". I also noticed that P0_11 internal led stopped blinking, which tells me the program somehow hang.

Separately, In an attempt to debug this, I tried to use printf to the console, but I didn't see anything come out whether using putty at Windows or screen at Linux. The same method worked for BLE Nano v1.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Switch to use Arduino and it works fine. I noticed there is one case in Arduino that discovering service failed, and it turned out it's the timing between Ticker and the loop(). So this problem seems related to timing.
