I'm trying to connect to a Zeemote (http://zeemote.com/) gaming controller from Moto Droid running 2.0.1 firmware. The test application below does connect to the device (LED flashes) but connection is dropped immediately after that. I can connect to the device perfectly fine using bluez tools (log attached as well).

I'm quite at a loss here, I work on it for so long that I ran out of ideas so any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks, Max

    setContentView(R.layout.main);
    try {
      test();
    } catch (IOException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

  public void test() throws IOException {
    BluetoothDevice zee = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter().
        getRemoteDevice("00:1C:4D:02:A6:55");
    Log.d("ZeeTest", "++++ Creating socket");
    BluetoothSocket sock = zee.createRfcommSocketToServiceRecord(
        UUID.fromString("8e1f0cf7-508f-4875-b62c-fbb67fd34812"));
    Log.d("ZeeTest", "++++ Connecting");
    sock.connect();
    Log.d("ZeeTest", "++++ Connected");

    final InputStream in = sock.getInputStream();
    new Thread() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
          byte[] buffer = new byte[32];
          int bytes = 0;
          int x = 0;
          Log.d("ZeeTest", "++++ Listening...");
          while (x < 200) {
            x++;
            try {
              bytes = in.read(buffer);
              Log.d("ZeeTest", "++++ Read "+ bytes +" bytes");
            } catch (IOException e) {
              // java.io.IOException: Software caused connection abort
              if (x % 50 == 0) {
                Log.d("ZeeTest", "Tried "+ x +" times ("+ bytes +")");
              }
              try { Thread.sleep(100); } catch (InterruptedException ie) {}
            }
          }
          Log.d("ZeeTest", "++++ Done: thread exit");
        }
      }.start();
    Log.d("ZeeTest", "++++ Done: test()");
  }
}
