Help using Android + Blueterm App with SPPLE_Lite demo on the MSP430f5529 Launchpad + CC256xqfnem

I'm running into a problem where I cannot find the CC256x bluetooth address when searching for it on the android blueterm app.

My hardware setup is the 5529 Launchpad with the CC256xqfnem. I used IAR to flash the SPPLE_Lite code which worked without any problems. I did make sure the hardware config files were set to the 5529.

I followed the cc256x testing guide (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC256x_Testing_Guide

    Hi,

    To my understanding, we use Blue Term app only for testing SPP. If we want to test any LE profile we use APPs like “BLE Explorer (Alpha)” app from Play Store(or search for BLE apps on play store).

    Mind that SPPLE is not a standard Bluetooth (BLE) Profile. You will have to make sure the app can use the custom UUIDs that are needed to communicate and read and write to the app.

    Thank you for your response!

    But regardless of the actual testing of the communication, shouldn't I be able to find the CC256x when searching for it via bluetooth on my phone?

    I cannot even find the CC256x if I'm searching for it through Android's native bluetooth setting.

    This leads me to think there is a connection problem maybe? I'm fairly confident that most of it is correct since the RTS signal from the CC256x get's pulled low which indicates a proper power up according to the testing guide.

    The connection's I've made between the 5529 LP and the CC256x qfnem are:
    3.3 V
    GND
    RX
    TX
    RTS
    CTS
    SLOWCLK
    nShutD

    I am interfacing with the RF connectors on the CC256x board but I thought that shouldn't be an issue.

    Also I'm only connecting one 3.3V line. I thought this would be fine since in the circuit diagram the it looked like the RF connectors can use one supply for both the IO power (and steps it down) and supply power.
