Hi,

I am having some problems with pairing my mobile devices. I saw the btproximity monitor on the gentoo wiki and here on the ubuntu forums and i thought it would be nice to install it on my machine to but i run into some problems.

URL: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=486735&highlight=proximity

First of all let me explain what i am using:

* Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn
* Samsung SGH-E900
* T-mobile MDA Vario
* Bluetooth USB dongle

The script didn't work so i tried the steps by hand to see where things go wrong. Didn't take long to see that there was no connection being made. I first tried it on the samsung but didn't work at all. Then i tried it with the MDA (which gives some responce) but this would also not work.

So let me explain what i did:

First i checked if my bluetooth was up and running:


avdongen@Masahiro:~$ hciconfig
  hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:10:60:A9:10:28 ACL MTU: 192:8 SCO MTU: 64:8
        UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN
        RX bytes:2841 acl:34 sco:0 events:105 errors:0
        TX bytes:1226 acl:33 sco:0 commands:40 errors:0

When i try to search for my devices via hidd i get nothing..

avdongen@Masahiro:~$ sudo hidd --search
Password:
Searching ...

but when i search with the hcitool i find both my phones

avdongen@Masahiro:~$ sudo hcitool scan
Scanning ...
        00:12:37:A7:C8:93       Avdongen
        00:17:D5:59:F0:16       Avdongen2

So my first guess is, there is something wrong when i use hidd so i continue to use hcitool. So next i try to connect to the one of the devices:

avdongen@Masahiro :~$ sudo hcitool cc 00:17:D5:59:F0:16
avdongen@Masahiro:~$ sudo hcitool cc 00:12:37:A7:C8:93

nothing.. no error, no warning on the either of the phones... so i try hidd to connect:

avdongen@Masahiro:~$ sudo hidd --connect 00:17:D5:59:F0:16
avdongen@Masahiro:~$ sudo hidd --connect 00:12:37:A7:C8:93
Can't connect: Connection reset by peer (104)

Finally some reaction, the Samsung doesn't do anything but the MDA asks me if my machine is allowed to connect and then asks me for a pin. I enter 1234 (this also the default in in my bluetooth config) but then i get the connection reset by peer error.

I can ping both my phones l2ping:

Some searching here on ubuntu forums and google suggest that this has something todo with the error:

avdongen@Masahiro:~$ hcid -n
hcid[5592]: Bluetooth HCI daemon
hcid[5592]: Could not become the primary owner of org.bluez
hcid[5592]: Unable to get on D-Bus

but there is no real solution to be found anywhere as far as i can see.

Does anyone have a clue whats wrong and how to fix this ?

Regards,

Adrian.
