Has any tried to communicate with Arduino via bluetooth use Android 4.4.2 KitKat?

I Upgraded my phone Samsung Galaxy to 4.4.2 and then my application stopped working when I try to receive data back from the Arduino the app crashes, I tried to found out what the problem was and I came across it was not receiving the information back to the phone, So i tried the chat example thats is what I built my application around, and I am getting the following error when it tried to receive data "Connection has been broken." When I tried it on my sisters phone Samsung Galaxy to 4.2.2 it works fine and so does my application.

Its sending out data fine but it does not receive data.

Its not showing up with any errors in the log.

I have downloaded an app ArduDroid that allow me to communicate with my Arduino via bluetooth and when I send data via the program to the Arduino sends the right data back to the phone and does not crash.

The bluetooth chat example works with phone to phone, But not receiving data from Arduino to Phone.

Has anybody else had this problem?

I can confirm Bluetooth is working well with custom device (PIC microcontroller and cheap Bluetooth module) on my Galaxy Tab Pro (Android 4.4.2).
