Bluetooth SPP implementation in HTC phones

[saunwin]

Hi Guys,

I've developed a lighting controller from my Android tablet. It uses bluetooth to send data to an arduino type BT module, which drives (RS232) an LED Lighting controller.

All is well - my seekbars change the LED colours (yes I'm a Brit and it looks
nice.

Over to my phone - An HTC wildfire. Code runs, BT pairs up but no data. Why - it turns out that HTC phones do not support SPP in the bluetooth stack.

Q. Is there any way to implement my project without using SPP ? or failing that is there a way of detecting if the phone will not do SPP (so I can display an incompatible device message) ?

:sign0104: Thanks in advance

Kinda Answered my own question

Having poked around in some other forums I downloaded and app called - Bluetooth file transfer app - Once installed my implementation of the SPP in bluetooth worked.
