What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Choosing Device and Baud Rate in Setup

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? A console screen that 
would display RX data, but instead get an error with message, "The serial port 
can not be opened for an unknown reason."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 
SerialPort_0.7.apk, Droid X (Rooted) Android Version: 2.3.3

Please provide any additional information below. Here is the way it was rooted

I think Android 2.3.3 does not support the flag O_DIRECT (see issue 4)
Could you provide "logcat" output to confirm please ?

I am also having this issue with Gingerbread 2.3.3. I installed 
SerialPort_1.1.apk, and I still have this same error. Has this been fixed yet?

jremaly, SerialPort_1.1.apk do not use flag O_DIRECT anymore, could you upload 
your logcat here please ?
Just by curiosity, which connector/adapter do you use to get a serial port on 
your Droid X ?

If anybody reproduces the problem with latest SerialPort sample, please let me 
know. In the meanwhile, I mark this bug "Fixed"
