Socket Binding Problem on S60 3rd FP2 (works on FP1)

[tbraeuer]

Hello,

I am developing a server app listening to a socket for an app running on the same phone. It works very well on S60 3rd FP1. On FP2 RSock.Bind() sometimes returns an error code -14 = KErrInUse. Here the code I use for the server:

	RSocket listener;
	RSocketServ socketServ;
	TInetAddr addr(KInetAddrLoop, 1151);
	User::LeaveIfError(socketServ.Connect());
	socketServ.ShareAuto();
	User::LeaveIfError(listener.Open(socketServ, KAfInet, KSockStream,
			KProtocolInetTcp));
	TInt error = listener.Bind(addr);

If I start the server-program Bind() returns the error -14. If I start the client first and try to connect to the socket (which does not work since the server is not started) and start the server after that, the bind works.

I tried several ports.

Anybody some ideas.

Thanks,
Tobias

If this question is about emulators, note that if you multiple emulators running, only one of them can bind to a given port at a time.

No, its not a emulator problem: I test on the phone.

I think the better and more reliable way on communicating between two applications would to use dedicated IPC APIs, like RProperty for example.

the problem is: the client is Java ME. AFAIK there is no way to use other ways of IPC from Java?!?
