Detecting the nearest Bluetooth

[JereKuusela]

I have tried search but haven't found anything.

Is there any way to detect the nearest Bluetooth device?

I have made code like this:

 x = time()
    try:
        b = socket.socket(socket.AF_BT, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        b.connect((address,5))
        b.close()
    except:
        q = 1
    y = time()
    return y-x

It return time how long it takes to connect to Bluetooth device with that address. Point is that it errors because of number 5.

However this takes very long time.. especially if Bluetooth device isn't in area.
I have tried make it stop connecting after X seconds but without success.

Thanks in advance.

Let's start first by eliminating the basics:

• Is there any near-by devices with "Bluetooth" set as "On"
• Is that device's "My phone's visibility" set as "Shown to all"
• Are you able to find that device with built-in S60 software

Just making sure,

I mean I have tried search for solution. :P

And yes, I can detect Bluetooth devices even with my code, it's just very slow because I don't know how to interrupt it.
