Android Bluetooth: Service Discovery Failed, Connection To Desktop/laptop

I have an Android app that I had working a few months ago which I could use to connect my Droid X2 to an ASUS Transformer tablet over Bluetooth. That connection worked fine. I jus

Solution 1:

The error I was getting was Connection Refused when trying to connect over a bluetooth socket to my other devices. After much pain and research, I found that I could manually unpair my computers from my phone and then the bluetooth socket connects fine.

The strange thing is that I never even paired those devices, so I don't know how they got that way. But if you are getting Connection Refused, see if your Android device is paired to the machine you're connecting to, then manually unpair it, then try connecting with a bluetooth socket again.

Hope this saves someone a few hundred hours...
