title: Android 2.2. How to set up serial port(com,rfcomm) port?
body: <p>I a trying to connect my Nexus One with Android version 2.2.1 with my pc and use a terminal program such as windows terminal or hyper terminal to communicate.  To do this I believe I need to set up an outgoing serial com port.  I have paired the devices.  When I go on my PC to Bluetooth -> settings -> "add com port" the android device does not display.  </p>
  
  <p>What am I missing? </p>
  
  <p>Does android 2.2.1 support spp?   The documentation says it does. </p>
  
  <p>Do I need to root the android to add spp?  </p>
  
  <p>Has anyone succeeded in this?  </p>
  
  <p>My final goal is to write an android app that communicates with an old school bluetooth device that requires com ports?  Getting the android to communicate with the pc is an interim step.  </p>
  
  <p>I have tried everything I can think of in my android app to connect to my pc and android device but have not been successful.  My android app is essentially the same as <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/android-beginners@googlegroups.com/msg20753.html" rel="nofollow">Serial over Bluetooth submitted by xCaffeniated</a> but with fewer comments.  Any suggestions?  </p>
