Can not read RSSI with Widcomm, failing to get connection info, common.cpp:166

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Discover a 220Plantronics headset with Widcomm (though I expect the
problem to be more broad than that).

2. Try either 

 LocalDevice.getProperty("bluecove.nativeFunction:getRemoteDeviceRSSI:" +
btDevice.getBluetoothAddress());

or (under 2.1.1 shapshot) 
    int i = RemoteDeviceHelper.readRSSI(btDevice);

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected an int. Instead, throws an IOException:

00:24:41.353 will throw exception java/io/IOException(Fail to get
connection info)
      common.cpp:166

What BlueCove version are you using (include build number for SNAPSHOT)? 
Both 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 snapshot.

On what operating system and jvm? Is this 64-bit or 32-bit OS and jvm?
1.6.0_16; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM; Sun Microsystems Inc.
Vista 32 bit

Please provide any additional information below.
Am running a RemoteDeviceDiscovery.java from your examples, with the two
lines above added to deviceDiscovered().

Correction. On version 2.1.0,  

LocalDevice.getProperty("bluecove.nativeFunction:getRemoteDeviceRSSI:" +
btDevice.getBluetoothAddress());

does not throw an exception, but returns -1, always.

I had the same problem and it seems that the reason for the problem occurring 
is 
that you need to have a connection to the device before you can inquire the 
RSSI.
Here is where my problem surfaces, as I do not really want to have a 
connection, as 
I am just scanning for devices and I would like to know if they are close or 
far to 
me. Not in meters, but on some relative scale (RSSI). If you have to establish 
a 
connection you also have to allow this on the remote device which is cumbersome 
and 
not really possible to do automatically.
Is there a serviceUUID that allows a connection without exchange of pin-codes 
or the 
like?
Best regards,
Nicolai Schou

Performing a services search is enough to get some connections established and 
to read RSSI value.

I am having a similar problem with my code..do you still have your code if so 
do you mind if I have a look at it??
