Notifier does not detect bluetooth pair

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This seems somewhat similar to Issue #9, but different enough that I thought it 
would be worth submitting a new issue. Basically, the remote notifier app does 
not seem to detect that I have set up a pair and offer it as a target device.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set up new bluetooth pair with Ubuntu PC (make Android phone discoverable, 
use Set up new device wizard in Ubuntu's bluetooth preferences). In Android 
settings, PC is now listed as "Paired but not connected". Sending files from PC 
to phone over bluetooth now works.
2. Open remote notifier app. Stop service, uncheck "Start service at boot" 
option.
3. Reboot handset.
4. Open remote notifier app. Start service. I've attached an adb logcat of 
service startup. Going to Bluetooth options and attempting to select a target 
device only shows "Any device" in the selection list.
5. Send test notification. Again, adb logcat of test notification attached. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
android-notifier should detect paired connection, and offer choice of sending 
notifications directly to paired PC. Even with target device set to any, 
android-notifier should successfully send test notification.

But right now, it seems that android-notifier doesn't see any paired devices (I 
only have one, but it's not listed). In addition, logs report an error trying 
to find a bluetooth connection named "any" when trying to send notifications. I 
haven't yet pulled out hcidump to check bluetooth traffic between the phone and 
the host, but neither android-notifier-desktop nor the bluetooth stack log 
anything that might indicate it received a notification from the phone.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
android-notifier version 0.2.5 installed from Market. Phone is a Motorola 
Milestone running Android 2.1-update1. It's the stock Motorola version, with 
the vulnerable recovery image and root update applied.
PC is running 64 bit Ubuntu 10.10 beta, up to date as of today, with a USB 
bluetooth adaptor.

Please provide any additional information below.

Forgot to add that I did follow the PC setup steps advised in 
http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier-desktop/wiki/BluetoothHowto :
- stopped android-notifier-desktop
- paired with device
- started android-notifier-desktop
- ensured android-notifier-desktop was configured to receive bluetooth alerts

I've got a horrible feeling I need to check a setting to turn on the rfcomm 
interface while setting up the pair, but couldn't see any option to do so 
presented by Ubuntu.

I think you mean to file this under the android-notifier-desktop project:
http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier-desktop/

I'm assigning to the author, he can decide how to handle the issue.

Probably the error message you get is in one of these two issues:

http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier-desktop/issues/detail?id=1
http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier-desktop/issues/detail?id=5

Please, post your comments there.
