Unfortunately, nobody knows why this error happens, does the native Mac
client works for you?
I was using: MultiDroidNotifier-0.5.1-x86_64
I tried the 32-bit but of course it gave me an error message when I tried
to run it saying it needs to be 64-bit.
The thing is, I see the 3 dots show over the bluetooth connection on the
bar at the top which tells me it's receiving the notification, but nothing
happens till I get the error message pop up.
But does MacDroidNotifier-0.2.9.dmg work for you? This bluetooth problem is
discussed in great detail in issue 3, people can see that something is
going on but the desktop app just doesn't get anything from the operating
system.
I'm using the 0.2.9 right now and I cannot get it to show messages with
Growel. Growel sees the application but when I receive a message (txt or
email) I don't get an alert. I don't get them with the test notification
either.
So it's indeed an issue between the phone and the operating system. I think
we can mark this a duplicate of issue 3.
i was thinking that to be less annoying, instead of making an ugly dialog
box saying "bluetooth error" in the middle of the screen, use the native or
growl message that says "unknown event occured on the phone" or something
similar. i.e. at least you know the phone did something worth checking and
don't have an ugly dialog that you have to dismiss.
i could take a look at the code and propose a patch, but i'm guessing
someone already familiar with the code could do this a LOT faster than me.
