Android problem in setting a bluetooth service name

Question

Hi,

I'm developing an application which serves as bluetooth server for a bluetooth external device (the communication is started by the external device). This external device request from the bluetooth service I'm deploying a concrete service name ("PWAccessP"), so I initiate the serversocket by the following instruction:

serversocket = Activa.myBluetoothAdapter.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord("PWAccessP", UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB"));

But when with a test application which search the bluetooth services offered by my phone, I get the following log:

search services on 38E7D82E98F8 HTC Desire
service Unknown found btspp://38E7D82E98F8:22;authenticate=false;encrypt=false;master=false

With "Unknown" as service name, indicating that the name of the offered service is unknown. I've checked this service is the one I'm deploying.

The phone I'm working is a HTC Desire.

Does anybody know what can be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi user365610, do you still encountered the problem? I have another problem related to 'PWAccessP' devices. my android phone is nexus one 2.2.1.

I am having alot of issues: 1. Eventhough PWAccessP device and the nexusone is already paired, the android phone still needs to be discoverable in order for the PWAccessP device to connect and send data. and this is something intermitent.. sometime android doesnt receive socket connection eventhough it is already discoverable. 2. and it takes very long time (1-2 minutes) for android to receive measurement result from PWAccessP. sometime, no connection at all..

do you face similar issues?
