Nokia 6600: midlet bluetooth-enabled applications don't work

[pracucci]

Hi,

I installed the btsppEcho Nokia example (it's a simple chat application) into a Nokia 6600 (firmware v. 4.09.1 26/02/2004 and also on another Nokia 6600 with firmware v. 5.27.0 28/06/2004), I run it and I founded that the bluetooth connection doesn't work.

More specifically, I tried to run the application both in client and server mode, but I get the same behavior. If I run btsppEcho in client mode (it waits to receive a connection from the server...) no other device (mobile phone or workstation bluetooth enabled) can discover this service (while it can discover other non-midlet bluetooth services). Otherwise, if I run btsppEcho in server mode (the server tries to discover other btsppEcho services), it can't discover any other service... but I have other devices that correctly run btsppEcho.

I also tried btl2capEcho (the same application, except that it uses the L2CAP protocol instead of RFCOMM protocol) and I have the same problem. Finally, I tried with my own application and I have the same problem.


--- Proof of concept ---

Here is a trivial bluetooth application that DO NOT work on my Nokia 6600 (while it works on series 60 Nokia emulator):

Note: LogScreen is a Form that shows me some logging information

public class Main
        extends MIDlet
{
        private static final UUID SERVICE_UUID = new UUID("af006dd2c0684194aeabf91664e827e3", false);
        private static final String SERVICE_NAME = new String("Trivial Service");
        private static final String SERVICE_URL = new String("btspp://localhost:" + SERVICE_UUID + ";name=" + SERVICE_NAME);
        private LogScreen logScreen;

        public Main()
        {
                logScreen = new LogScreen();
        }

        public void startApp()
        {
                Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(logScreen);

                try
                {
                        StreamConnectionNotifier connectionNotifier = (StreamConnectionNotifier) Connector.open(SERVICE_URL);
                        logScreen.appendLog("Waiting a connection");

                        StreamConnection connection = connectionNotifier.acceptAndOpen();
                        logScreen.appendLog("Connection received");
                }
                catch (IllegalArgumentException exception)
                {
                        logScreen.appendLog(exception.getMessage());
                }
                catch (ConnectionNotFoundException exception)
                {
                        logScreen.appendLog(exception.getMessage());
                }
                catch (IOException exception)
                {
                        logScreen.appendLog(exception.getMessage());
                }
                catch (SecurityException exception)
                {
                        logScreen.appendLog(exception.getMessage());
                }
        }

        public void pauseApp()
        {}

        public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional)
        {}
}

I run the trival application on Nokia 6600 and I try to discover it services from another device (it's a computer with a bluetooth dongle): the computer discovers all Nokia 6600 services (like Fax, OBEX File Transfer and Bluetooth Serial Port) but it DOESN'T find the Trivial service. Otherwise, if I run the trivial application on the emulator, I have no problems.

--- End of proof of concept ---


Have anyone ever had a problem like this?
Can you help me, please?


Any suggestion will be appreciated!

Thanks,

I have solved the problem: the "server" application didn't register the bluetooth service in the Public Browse Group, so the "client" application was not able to discover the service.

Detailed instructions, about the registering of a service in the Public Browse Group, have been published at the following link:
