Bluetooth RSocket

[Gixxer2]

The code below is part of an attempt to connect to a bluetooth phone from the emulator. I lookup info about the phone via RHostResolver and that works fine, address is correct. socket.open works to but socket.connect wont work. Status returns -34 and it wont connect. Anyone have a clue what goes wrong?

..
..
RSocket socket;
User::LeaveIfError(socket.Open (socketServ,pInfo.iAddrFamily,KSockSeqPacket,KL2CAP));

socket.Connect(sockAddr,status);
User::WaitForRequest(status);

if (status != KErrNone)
return;

I printed the address to make sure it was correct and it seems ok. I get the MAC address of the phone. So what am i missing? Why am i not able to connect?

..
..
TBTDevAddr devAddr = static_cast<TBTSockAddr>(entry().iAddr).BTAddr();

TBTSockAddr sockAddr;
sockAddr.SetBTAddr(devAddr);

TBuf<25> tBufAddr;
devAddr.GetReadable(tBufAddr);
console->Printf(tBufAddr);

Make sure that your BT configuration really works (for example send something with the built-in tools from the emulator).
Are you sure about that you should use L2CAP?

Using the emulator i can scan for my phone and find it. I can add it to my BT devices and set it up with PIN and everything. So the BT config seems ok.

And progamatically i can find the phone and receive information from it using RHostresolver, example below

..
RHostResolver hr;
User::LeaveIfError(hr.Open (socketServ,pInfo.iAddrFamily,pInfo.iProtocol));

TRequestStatus status;
hr.GetByAddress(addr, entry, status);
User::WaitForRequest(status);

Regarding L2Cap. I suppose i could use RFCOMM but then i would have to specify a port.

All i really want is to connect to my phone and eventually exchange PIN etc.
Is there any other way to do this using something else than RSocket?

Regarding L2Cap. I suppose i could use RFCOMM but then i would have to specify a port.

Those two protocols are not interchangable. You have to know which one to use, and use that one.
For finding the channel you have to use SDP indeed, BT examples show how to do that (S60 2nd edition: S[eries]60Ex\BTPointToPoint, S60 3rd edition: S60Ex\Chat).

RFCOMM communicates over L2CAP, right? That is, L2CAP is "lower" in the BT stack?

As a note, i tried this:
User::LeaveIfError(socket.Open(socketServ,KBTAddrFamily,KSockSeqPacket,KBTLinkManager));

Using the BTLinkManager protocol i seem to get a connection but i am not really sure why, and for that matter what BTLinkManager is.

[wizard_hu_]

Switching to a lower level protocol does not eliminate the need for knowledge of the target protocol. You simply get the task of assembling "RFComm packets" for yourself, "manually". And that "RFComm packet" still contains channel information, and you still need that in order to communicate successfully.

Of course, but im forced to connect on the L2CAP level in the stack.
But what i cant understand is why I am able to connect using BTLinkManager protocol but not the L2CAP protocol.
BTLinkmanager is ever further down in the stack than L2CAP, right?
