For Symbian 8.0a I get error -5 (not supported). Has there been any changes from 7?

Code:

_LIT(KServerIoCtrl,"L2CAP");
RSocketServ socketserver;
RSocket ioctrlsocket;

User::LeaveIfError(socketserver.Connect());
User::LeaveIfError(ioctrlsocket.Open(socketserver, KServerIoCtrl));

TPckgBuf<TBTDevAddr> addr;
TRequestStatus status;
ioctrlsocket.Ioctl( KHCILocalAddressIoctl, status, &addr, KSolBtHCI);
User::WaitForRequest(status);
//status=-5
ioctrlsocket.Close();
socketserver.Close();

Hi !

I've finally found it out how to get the MAC Address on your device. It works fine and goes like this :

Code:

RSocketServ aSocketServer;
aSocketServer.Connect();
RSocket socket;
User::LeaveIfError(socket.Open(aSocketServer,_L("L2CAP")));
TPckgBuf<TBTDevAddr> devAddr;
TRequestStatus stat;
socket.Ioctl(KHCILocalAddressIoctl, stat, &devAddr, KSolBtHCI);

User::WaitForRequest(stat);
if(stat == KErrNone) {
TBTDevAddr localAddr=devAddr();
TBuf<1024> btAddr;
for(int i=0;i<localAddr.Des().Length();i++)
{
btAddr.AppendNumFixedWidth(localAddr[i],EHex,2);
}
// Outputs MAC Address
User::InfoPrint(btAddr);
}
else
{
User::InfoPrint(_L("Error :-( "));
}
socket.Close();
aSocketServer.Close();

You must use the HCI Commands

Sorry, I didnÂ´t test the code. I use the IMEI meanwhile.
The only way to find out the address of my phone was from a remote device.

Hi ribizli

Yes I read your post before posting this one. But unfortunately I can't get the Mac Address of my Smartphone, i face the same problem as you. By the way, if you have managed to get other digits than 00 00 00 00 it'll be nice if you could post a code snippet.
I've also read thread : http://forum.newlc.com/viewtopic.php?t=1768 but couldn't retrieve the Mac Address

It seems like the way to get the Mac Address of a symbian smartphone is a real mystery. Why Other Bluetooth devices simply have it written on a little stick and can be so easily retrieved.

Thx for your help and explanations !
