Can't create RFCOMM TTY: Address already in use - howto solve this error message
If your attempt to connect your laptop to your Nokia smartphone: ( with YOUR HW address of course )
rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomm0 00:1E:3A:7A:AE:66
results in an error:
Can't create RFCOMM TTY: Address already in use
Then use the below command line: ( with YOUR HW address of course )
rfcomm release 00:1E:3A:7A:AE:66
and reconnect again. If all other configuration is correct, it should work now. In my case I get the correct output as below - as you see I connect to channel 2:
rfcomm connect /dev/rfcomm0 00:1E:3A:7A:AE:66 2
Connected /dev/rfcomm0 to 00:1E:3A:7A:AE:66 on channel 2
Press CTRL-C for hangup
Need more help - just look into my Linux admin category and you'll find my entire Bluetooth connection, step by step howto.
Love and bliss
