NO CARRIER error with Bluetooth Arcade Controller Shield

[cdorrat]

Hi,
I've connected a rev 1.03 bluetooth arcade controller shield to an Arduino Mega ADK and I'm having some issues.
At this point I've soldered the headers and switches and connected a single switch to pin 15 & GND, the sketch I'm using was cloned from https://github.com/wayneandlayne/BluetoothArcadeController.git today

The shield seems to initialise correctly (output shown below) but I cant see it as an option when pairing and it repeatedly prints the following error to the monitor:
NO CARRIER 0 ERROR 9dde L2CAP_CONNECTION_FAILED

When I connect with the serial monitor and I see the following output:

start
SET PROFILE HID ON
SET BT AUTH * 0000
SET BT SSP 3 0
SET BT CLASS 00540
SET CONTROL CONFIG 0
SET CONTROL AUTOCALL 0011 500 HID
SET CONTROL CD 20 0
SET CONTROL ESCAPE 43 10 1
SET BT NAME ARCADE

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Cameron.

Update: after some trying I've managed to get the device paired with two Macs and an Iphone, it just seems to be an android phone (a nexus running ice cream sandwich) that wont pair most
The device shows up now but the phone just displays "Cant communicate with ARCADE" and nothing is printed on the console most of the time.
Occasionally the device shows up in the list of paired devices for a second before dropping back into the list of available devices

Sorry to hear you're having issues with the Bluetooth Arcade Controller Shield.

As you likely know, the BTAC shield becomes a HID keyboard. I'm pretty sure your phone supports Bluetooth keyboards, but I am not 100% sure because it looks like there are multiple phones by the name "nexus". Do you know which one you have?

Secondly, when you pair your device to the other devices, like the two Macs and the iPhone, is it reliable? Does it send characters across?

Once again, sorry to hear you're having issues--I'm confident we can work through them and get you a working keyboard shield.
