Bluetooth notifications not delivered

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The Android app doesn't seem to be able to send Bluetooth notifications on a 
Nexus One.

The phone is paired with just one computer, and bluetooth works in general.  
(E.g., I can transfer files with OBEX.)  PacketLogger doesn't show any 
bluetooth 
traffic from the phone when I send a test notification, so I'm pretty sure this 
is 
a bug on the handset side, not the computer side.

Tested on a Nexus One running Android 2.1 (build ERD79).  On the computer 
side, I tested with both a Mac Mini (Macmini2,1) running 10.5.8 and a Mac 
Book Pro (MacBookPro5,4) running 10.5.8.

So apparently this is an issue with having multiple bluetooth devices paired. 
I'm adding 
bluetooth device selection soon, but I'm attaching your patch for review in the 
meantime.

Patch reviewed and appears to work in my device, submitted as r67

r68 adds bluetooth target device selection.
r72 adds a possible regression - if lots of notifications are sent very quickly 
(unlikely), 
some of them may fail.

Please let me know if the latest version works on the N1.

Apparently r72 introduced a bug which breaks all delayed notifications. 
Preparing 
another fix.

Maybe, just maybe, r83 will fix what you're experiencing. Please update from 
the market 
and let me know.

lunacyent, can you paste or attach the log output of the mac application here, 
after a 
notification is received (but not displayed)? You can find it by running 
Applications > 
Utilites > Console, then searching for MacDroidNotifier.

Do test notifications also not display?

Installed from market and from apk here - nexus one owner also reports no 
receipt of
bluetooth notifications. Wifi to specific IP, fine.

Test notifications and regular notifications both are not received (tho phone 
reports
they are sent)

I still haven't been able to reproduce this, even on the Nexus One - could you 
attach 
or paste the output of the android log after sending a (real or test) 
notification this 
way?
You can get the log by installing an app called alogcat from the market, which 
allows 
you to e-mail it.

Are you using any other bluetooth devices, like a headset?

(I'm also assuming you checked the basics - that bluetooth is enabled, that the 
devices are paired, etc.)

Raising the priority since more people are reporting the issue.

Bruno has a Nexus One and was able to reproduce it. He has kindly volunteered 
to 
investigate and fix the problem.

We just tried multiple times with the Nexus One, both with the current and a 
future version of Android, and we're 
still unable to reproduce. Can someone provide a log output?

Ping? Any logs?

I have the exact same issue being reported here. Here are the relevant logs. No 
logs
are being generated when I send a test notification. However in the list of 
bluetooth
devices in System Preferences -> Bluetooth, the connection status goes from red 
to
green for my Nexus One whenever I send a test notification. This probably means 
the
test notification reaches the mac, but the desktop app fails to receive the 
notification.

Attached is the droid log grepped for remotenotifier|bluetooth, let me know if 
this
isn't enough of the log.

Since I can't reproduce this, I'm taking a guess at what the problem may be - 
can one of you test the attached 
APK and see if it solves the problem?

Thanks

Works :) Thanks!

Weird.  Downloaded it and it still doesn't work for me.  I'll uninstall and
re-install instead of doing an update/replace.

What this new binary does it just try again (up to 10 times) if sending the 
notification fails.

Does this app generate a log file I can drop on here for your review?

Original comment by tchentc...@gmail.com on 14 Apr 2010 at 9:51

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yes it does. To get the log you have to use an app such as alogcat (available 
from the market).
