Hi Mike,

I am having problems with pairing. When I call the Pair() method, it fails with WCL_E_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED and the call takes a long time after I have entered the code on the phone. Although the error is returned, the pairing is actually successful.

I have to do:

Code: [Select]
bool paired = false;
dev->GetPaired(*pRadio, paired);
if (paired) {
onStatusChanged (L"Already paired.");
return true;
}

int error = dev->Pair(*pRadio, pin);
if (error != WCL_E_SUCCESS)
{
// verify that it indeed failed?
dev->GetPaired(*pRadio, paired);
if (paired) {
      onStatusChanged (L"Pairing succeeded anyway.");
return true;
}

// return error
wclShowError(error);
onError (L"Pairing failed.");

return false;
}

The main problem I am having is that the pair call takes a long time. Although as soon as I have entered the PIN on the phone, a refresh on BluetoothDiscoveryDemo shows me the device is paired...

This is with an 4 yrs or so old laptop with BT 2.0 (I have given you the drivers earlier).

Any suggestions welcome!

Hi,

What BT drivers do you use and what OS?

Hi Mike,

sorry for the long delays.

Rhe driver is http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=be&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=3357377&prodNameId=3357378&swEnvOID=1093&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=ob-57457-1 . The laptop is a HP 6910p.

I haven't installed this to see if this matches what is on my system but a version of this software is definitely installed. The driver date on the "Bluetooth Bus Enumerator" device is 20/11/2007 and the driver version is 5.1.0.4601. The "HP Integrated Module with Bluetooth 2.0 Wireless Technology" device is from 3/12/2007 and has driver version 5.1.0.4800.

In the meantime I decided to drop attempting to get this to work and installed a broadcom BT 4.0 dongle and replaced the drivers.

The OS is WinXP Service Pack 3
