I am trying to pair my HTC myTouch 3G with a Bluetooth device that will stream data via SPP to the phone. I have looked at the Chat examples and found them lacking for what I need due to the fact of the high data rates I will need and the Chat example does block on the UI thread. But that said my main problem is when I try to connect a device that isn't currently paired, the Bluetooth API says that it will popup a dialog automatically if the device requires a pairing code. This never happens. How do I make sure that it does? Here is my code...
BluetoothSocket btSocket;
String macAddress = data.getStringExtra("mac");
Log.d(TAG, "Found Device " + macAddress);
// Get the Bluetooth adapter on the device
BluetoothAdapter bta = ((MyApplication)this.getApplication()).getBtState();
BluetoothDevice btDevice = bta.getRemoteDevice(macAddress);
BluetoothSocket tmp = null;
try {
tmp = btDevice.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB"));
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (tmp != null) {
btSocket = tmp;
bta.cancelDiscovery();
try {
btSocket.connect();
} catch (IOException e) {
try {
Log.e(TAG, "------------- Close IOException");
btSocket.close();
} catch (IOException e2) {
Log.e(TAG, "unable to close() socket during connection failure", e2);
}
}
}
Here is the error I get too:

One weird thing about this which seems like a bug, is that if I run this code and it fails then I turn off the Bluetooth and turn it back on the device shows up as paired in the stack. From what I understand the Bluetooth chip on the myTouch is 2.1 and the chip we are trying to connect to is 1.2
Again this seems to be a bug in the bluetooth for that phone, other phones with the same BT chip and version don't have that problem
