Bluetooth Secureaccept() Failed, Nexus 7, Android 4.2.2

Question

I am running the Bluetooth Chat sample from the Android SDK 4.2 sample pack with no modifications to the code. My target is a Nexus 7 running Android 4.2.2. I get these errors as soon as I attempt a Secure Connect to a paired device. Connect Insecure also fails, resulting in similar errors. Occasionally, after I have restarted BT, the connection will succeed.

I have researched this and seen lots of references to BT probs on Android 4, but I thought they were supposed to have been fixed in subsequent 4.2 releases. The Nexus 7 is my only device so I wonder whether this happens on other devices.

Is there a workaround for this problem? Thanks in advance for any guidance!

UPDATE: After further investigation I found this link, which indicates that there is a leak in the BT resource stack, still present in 4.2.2, which can be resolved by manually stopping/restarting BT. Has anyone found a programmatic workaround?

Answer 1

Check out my question. android bluetooth can't connect

Looks like its a problem with Android itself, and not your code.
