nRF works but not GadgetBridge

[JF002]

Hi, and thanks for using your PineTime and InfiniTime

InfiniTime can connect to both NRFConnect and Gadgetbridge. They provide common functionalities, and Gadgetbridge provides a few more:

NRFConnect only provides the OTA and time synchronization.
Gadgetbridge provides the OTA, time synchronization, music control and notifications.

In fact, NRFConnect is a proprietary app from NRF that provides generic tool for BLE devices. Gadgetbridge, and also Amazfish, are open source applications that actively work with the PineTime community to add more functionalities to the pinetime and these applications.

Note that they are mutually exclusive : you cannot use both of them at the same time. Before using Gadgetbridge, ensure that NRFConnect is is connected to your PineTime and that it's not running. I've also noticed the CTS service (used for time synchronization) of NRFConnect would conflict with Gadgetbridge, even if NRFConnect is not running. You might want to disable it if you still have connectivity issue.

I would also recommend you install Gadgetbridge from F-Droid, you'll get the most up to date version (and support for PineTime is very recent!)
