Everything works fine, I see my UUID is present in scan record (using Android Bluetooth LE Scanner or iOS Light Blue App). But scan record becomes empty (all zeros) after I connect/disconnect to the peripheral.

Based on btmon traces I see that after peripheral is disconnected, LE adv is enabled again using HCI "LE Set Advertising Parameters" and "LE Set Advertise Enable" commands which obviously do not set the adv data again.

Attached. Frame 132 sets adv data followed by incoming connection.
