I have been spending the last two weeks reading the Bluetooth software examples and trying them out on my target device a 7 inch Asus Tablet (ME173X) running android 4.2.2 and I am using as a second Bluetooth coms device for test purposes only , a Sony Xperia Z phone running android 4.3 however the Bluetooth example does not work correctly both ways .
My main and first problem was the B4A IDE Bluetooth connect does not and will not work with the Asus Tablet despite installing 2.09 B4A bridge program and setting the device to listen however one gets an immediate error saying make sure the B4A bridge device is set to Listen , it connects without problem each time to the Sony Xperia (4.3) and when the both devices have the example program loaded the tablet by usb cable and the Xperia by bluetooth , when the Tablet trys to connect to the Xperia it connects and goes to the chat activity screen but the Xperia does not switch screen , pressing a few chars in the send box and pressing send on the tablet usually results in connection broken on the Tablet , or pressing return key to exit the chat screen does not as it should show broken connection on the Xperia device , however when the connection is reversed by connecting from the Xperia to the Tablet the example program runs fine both ends switch to Chat screen and the link is solid both ways forever or until one device switches out of Chat screen, is this down to Android Versions or could some one please let me know what may be wrong with my Asus Tablet !
