Empty notification string

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I try to use desktop windows client (androdi-notifier-desktop) (32bit) with 
java 6 (32bit) over windows 7 (64 bit). Bluetooth seems to send empty data. 
taking a look to console i see empty protocoll type. So i write a simple 
bluetooth listener and i see the client connected, but stream is empty. 

Unfortunatly I can test with wifi.

Hmmm this is strange - are you listening as RFCOMM? How are you describing your 
service to SDP?

Hi, 
I use both androdi-notifier-desktop 
(http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier-desktop/) and a little sharp project 
to see data. The result is the same. No data is transfert.

Here the code of my little program. The statement reads = 
sc.Receive(buffer,buffer.Length,0); alwayes return empty string.

Hi! I finaly foudn more detail on this issue.

On my HTC Hero (2.1) i have 2 paried device: My computer and a earphone. I have 
disabled the earphone and now get data over bluetooth. Unfotunatly, about one 
notification every 2 will be lost (lost 30% of test) with and have the same 
issue (empty notification string).

With both device paried the notification is missed in 90% of test. 

Using Wifi this the notification string is always filled.

Maybe it's a device specific issue. I'm not able to reproduce this sending ping 
notifications with a Nexus One running froyo.

I'm getting this issue with a Galaxy S running 2.1, sending pings to a Win7 
32bit PC with Java 1.6.0_21-b06 running AND. Here's the AND log:

I think it would be safer if android-notifier called flush() on the socket 
output stream and close() it before closing the socket. Some bluetooth stacks 
on desktop don't like it if I don't call these methods.

@mark The guy in this link said it was solved after updating to samsung's 
latest firmware, could you try that?

I too am having this issue. My specs are as follows:
HTC Droid Incredible running 2.2 (SkyRaider 2.5.2 Sense build)
MacBook Pro running 10.6.4, 64-bit
Java on the MBP version 1.6.0_20-b02-279-10M3065.

I receive notifications, and reliably so, despite having two devices paired 
(the other being a headset). But, they are all errors and all have a similar 
report to the following in the log file. I can reproduce this reliably using 
the test notification. This log was thrown by a received SMS.

devmage - that's definitely not the same issue - you probably want to report 
this at the multiplatform client here:
