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 ?

Adrian.
