I've tried PeerFinder class by Microsoft. After trying to use FindAllpeersAsync, I got the error A method was called at an unexpected time. After going through a few pages of results from Google, I realised by calling that method, I am essentially trying to connect to other devices via WiFi-Direct. What I'm trying to achieve here is to connect to devices via Bluetooth.

I tried looking for samples by Microsoft by searching Bluetooth. I found quite a few results. After filtering through the results, I realised there was only 1 sample.

I found this thread from MSDN claiming

FindAllpeersAsync function supports Wi-fi direct but does not support bluetooth on Windows 8, on the other hand, it supports bluetooth but does not support Wi-fi direct on Windows phone 8.

Is this guy right or what? If anyone manage to connect to a 3rd Party device via Bluetooth, please guide me in the right direction. Thanks in advanced.

Update

I'm not the only one encountering this problem.

Don't think this is even possible. Not for Windows 8 anyway, decided to switch to a WPF project.

Not sure if it help, but I have found information about feature request: http://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/110705-dev-platform/suggestions/1716881-bluetooth-data-transfer-apis

Not sure what type of connection you need to use, but maybe this will give some push.
