[Request] N900 Bluetooth Identifier
 

Hi All,

There is thread over here which has been talking about who has seen fellow N900 users in teh wild.

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...highlight=wild

So we thought it would be cool if someone could create an app that allows us to know if one of the bluetooth devices in the area are an N900.
I'm pretty sure that the bluetooth stack sends manufacture details and some other information other than just he device name.
If this is possible then we could have the following feautres.

When the app is on it could search say every 5 minutes for BT devices if it picks up on an N900 then you coudl get a notification.

I know this might kill battery but it could be cool :-0

so gurus is this possible?

Thanks
Chris

Yeah this could be done if the LAP part of the MAC address of the bluetooth address identifies the N900 device. though the LAP part usually marks the manufacturer, I guess :)

Cool,

I think we are on a new Broadcom chipset.

could a few of you with N900's confirm the LAN part of your BT Mac address is this:

34:7E:39:XX:XX:X

Thanks

But this doesn't narrow down the N900 :-(

cool, I hope this applies across the board.

Does the 4th part of your guys mac's read 5B ?

Re: [Request] N900 Bluetooth Identifier
 

We probably can't find a pattern here, manufactures use the same LAP across different devices, but if we find out that the N900 only use 2 or 3 different LAPs and no other Nokia model use the same LAPs(doubt that), this project can be easily done.

Mine is: 00-25-D0

Thanks @VDVsx

I've been trying all day to get as many N900 mac LAPS as possible.
I'll keep at this for a week or so and then come back and see if we can get something written up :-)

Thanks Again
Chris
