[Q] Bluetooth SPP UUID locked out in Froyo, but worked in Eclair. Any possible fixes?

---

I'm developing an application which communicates over the bluetooth hardware via SPP. The UUID used to identify that protocol has been "reserved" in the Froyo versions of the gen8 hardware.

It had previously worked fine on the same device with the Eclair firmware, so something was added to restrict use of that protocol in the new update.

Also, if the program itself is allowed to turn on the Bluetooth hardware, then it works fine, but if the bluetooth is already enabled when the program is launched, then it won't allow access.

Are there any potential fixes? Forgive my ignorance, but would this be set in a configuration file on the device, or built directly into the firmware? Would rooting the device help at all?

I have run into this very same problem. The only possible solution I can think of is to install SDE, downgrade, uninstall SDE, root, install custom rom.

That's if the custom roms don't have the same bluetooth stack.
