Hello,
when I use the .connect function and a MAC address allready associated (to my android 4.0.4 galaxy tab 10.1) the system allways ask me for the pin code of the bluetooth device.

When I write the pin code the connection work correctly, but if I close the connection and reopen it the system ask me the PIN.

I checked at the system settings and the device is correctly paired.

Please help me :(

Thanks

Francesco

@scloby @CalebMuhia Based on the info in http://kenneththorman.blogspot.com/2013/06/android-403-and-404-bluetooth-pairing.html it looks like Android 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 have a problem with the Secure Bluetooth connection. I was able to get the GT-P7510 to prompt every time for the Bluetooth password.

I modified a local copy to use an Insecure Bluetooth connection and it works on the Galaxy Tab without prompting the user.

In order to make a patch, I need to work out what the JavaScript API will look like. I'm thinking something like

bluetoothSerial.connectInsecure(macAddress, success , failure);
