What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.in target device, it lists my WinXP computer, but not my Win7 computer
2.in paired devices, the Win7 computer has a phone headset icon. Clicking it 
causes the phone to connect to the mic and speakers of my computer.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to be able to select any paired computer as a target.

Please paste the application's log here (it should now be on your
clipboard):

What version of Android are you using?
2.2

I'm still missing the steps to reproduce - lists where? When you do what? Under 
what conditions?

1 pair phone to a Windows 7 PC.
2 Confirm android notifier works with this PC
3 (don't know what happened to make phone think the PC was a headset.)
4 in Android Notifier, click notification methods
5 click Bluetooth settings
6 click target device
7 notice the Win7 PC is not listed.

Hmmm interesting. That list shows all devices which are classified as 
"computer", so a headset would definitely not be listed. I guess our issue lies 
in step #3 then.

I don't have Windows to try this - Leandro, since you have it, are you able to 
reproduce, or do you have any idea why the phone would see Win7 as a headset?

Maybe brianorca set Windows to receive audio from the phone over bluetooth (aka 
A2DP). If your PC outputs music you play in android music player, then try to 
disable that in Windows Control Panel.

I didn't do anything manual to do that, until after it was already broken. I 
could probably unpair and re-pair the PC, but I don't know how to prevent it in 
the future. Is it possible to allow selection of other paired devices?

It would also be nice to be able to choose 2 devices, for instance work & home, 
and have notifier use whichever one is available.

I encountered the same issue - with my MacBook Pro.
It turned out that my Nexus S recognizes the device class of my MacBook Pro as 
MISC (0, major + minor), not COMPUTER (256). I modified the source code and the 
new binary works fine.
