That may be related, but I doubt it. I'll try to be more clear. If
I create a serial port using the Bluetooth Settings Panel under the
"Sharing" tab. Then if I disable the port such that the settings
panel reports "Bluetooth Serial Port Off" and the checkbox in the
"On" column is unchecked. If I discover the available services on my
Mac with an external device (such as a mobile phone), the Serial
Ports that are "Off" are still reported in the discovery and I can
connect to them with my external device such that the bluetooth
status (in the menu bar) shows a connection. This is causing
problems for me because I don't want these Serial Ports to be visible
in a particular scenario.

Don't know if this is related to this or not, but we'd be

anyone knows the details of why this occurs, and if there is an

I'm having a strange problem with Bluetooth Serial Ports in that they
are still discoverable even when they are turned off. I have to
completely remove the port before it is no longer discoverable to
other bluetooth devices. Is this expected behavior or should I file a
bug report on it?
