Did you select your device after adding it? This is done via Selected Device in 
brltty's Device Manager.

As near as I can tell, you did the right things except that, maybe, you didn't 
set the Selected Device.

There may also be another issue, although I think it only began in Android 4.2. 
A bug crept into Android which causes Bluetooth to fail after too many connect 
attempts (for the techies, it's a port leak problem). I'd need to see your log 
to know if that problem is occurring. To clear it, though, just go into 
Android's settings and switch bluetooth off and then on again.

I'm suspecting, though, that you just didn't select the device after adding it.

Could you also go into brltty's Advanced Settings and set the Log Level to 
Debug? After doing that, please restart brltty. This will make any logs you may 
send me more useful.

>Anyway, this is alreadya big step forward; I'm encouraged now.

We don't tend to give up. :-) But, of course, we wouldn't get very far if it 
weren't for patient users who are willing to help us test things.
