site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: bluetooth-dev@lists.apple.com Usually there are 3 reasons why that dialog appears: 1] The device with the RFCOMM channel you want to connect to requires paring and you are not paired. 2] You are attempting to open an RFCOMM channel ID that does not exist. 3] Something during the opening of the channel goes really bad or does not happen and the timer that oversees the open sequence fires. All these cases are different from the "open busy" because they report an error that can not be solved by simply turning on your device, or putting it back in range. With the given information there is not much more I can guess. Marco On Nov 21, 2004, at 9:30 PM, dave Boydston wrote: We have a program that worked fine until we updated to OS X 10.3. The program opens an RFCOMM port using the OS X system open() call. We catch the open exception (16 - port busy) which occurs when the Bluetooth device is inactive. When we updated to OS X 10.3 we now get the following dialog that pops up when the port open fails. ------------------------------------------------------ A Bluetooth serial failure has occurred. Failed to open an RFCOMM serial channel. Check if authentication need to be enabled in your device. ------------------------------------------------------ How can we prevent this dialog from showing since the only purpose it serves is to annoy the users?
