Why can't HTC Droid running OTA 2.1 communicate with RFCOMM?

Question

Yesterday we received OTA Android 2.1 on my wife\'s HTC Droid - HOORAY!!! I am finally able to load my carputer app on her phone.

Well we loaded it, but it doesn\'t

Answer 1

It's a waiting game. Until HTC finishes writing drivers to support RFCOMM on this device, RFComm won't work.

Answer 2

I have a HTC incredible Android 2.3.4. I've had similar issues that I've been able to work around using reflection.

So instead of using:

mBTSocket = mBTDevice.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(UUID_RFCOMM_GENERIC); 

Try using:

Method m = device.getClass().getMethod("createRfcommSocket", new Class[] {int.class});
mBTSocket = (BluetoothSocket) m.invoke(device, 1);
