BLE_HeartRate Unknown service

[Tom_Gean]

Hello again, 

I'm using STM32WB, the name and the image of HeartRate service is visible on my mobile device but I can't set the name and the image for my own service which I create it Why?

Aslema @Tom_Gean and welcome to the ST Community 😊.

Can you add More details on your own Services. What you mean exactly.

Best Regards.

@Tom_Gean 

The ST BLE Toolbox app, like any other generic BLE monitoring app, parses the services and characteristics based on Universally Unique Identifiers (UUID) which companies have to pay to get it registered with BLE Sig. So unless your custom service UUID is registered with them the BLE app has no idea what that service is. As you know there is not "string" name associated with your service just a UUID. This is why it will always show up as unknown, unless you make a custom BLE phone app that is aware of your UUIDs.

The service name is defined by its uuid so I defined on service with my own uuid what could I do?

Hello again @Tom_Gean 

As said my college @STM_Thirty2 , If you create your own Custom Service you need to register it with BLE SIG. Otherwise, The Monitoring apps can't detect your Custom Service since it's not included on the database that this app is using.

How to register it with BLE SIG? And how the apps cannot detect my Custom Services and which data bases you talking about? Why the BLE device that acknowledges official BLE Services can display the service name

According to BLE Sig support to add your custom UUID to BLE Sig it cost roughly $3450 and you must be a member of BLE sig which is another cost depending on your company's revenue.

ST does not control that, we are not the BLE Sig.

The database my colleague is talking about I linked it in my first comment but here it is yet again:

Concerning the app not recognizing your custom UUID this has been answered but I can reiterate again:

These UUIDs need to be officially registered to be recognized worldwide, which requires a payment. Since your custom UUID isn't registered, the app doesn't know what it is and shows it as unknown. To fix this, you'd either have to register your UUID and pay BLE sig (Not ST)  or create a custom app for your phone that knows what your UUID is. 

Any other questions regarding BLE sig and how it operates with respect to their UUIDs is better addressed on their support site. 

Best of luck.
