I've been trying to resolve a bluetooth connection problem between my app and service running on my laptop. I've paired my phone, a Nexus S 4G running AOSP 4.1.1, with my laptop through the System Settings. In my app, I'm unable to connect to my service over this pairing. However, if I go back into System Settings, Bluetooth Settings Activity, and select my laptop, the Bluetooth Settings Activity lists the laptop as selected and the Notification Bar icon for Bluetooth changes from grey to blue. Now, my app can connect just fine. If I disconnect from my laptop through the Bluetooth Settings Activity, my app can no longer connect. My understanding was that I only needed to be paired/bonded with a device to make a bluetooth connection. Why do I have to explicitly connect through the System/Bluetooth Settings before being able to connect in my app? I've tried both secure and insecure RfcommSocketToServiceRecord calls.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
