You can search devices with your built in bt browser - the one you use when adding new bluetooth device to your phone to send files, but I find it USELESS if you want to browse for phones all the time. Because once it checks all freqientions it stops browsing and displaying the results. There was a java application named BTExplorer which has the search option, but it's the same useless. It searches only once. The guy was asking for application that searches for bluetooth devices all the time and when one is found, then show the results...

BT Discover is exactly what you want, it constantly searches then when it finds one it writes the device name(if close enough) and bluetooth address to a text file in others, it rumbles when it finds one, and it just keeps searching constantly.
Unfortunately you have to exit the app to be able to read the text file  oh, and it's foreign too, but easy to figure out.

range is too short. If he were lost in a shopping mall he'd be too far away for bluetooth to reach him!
If he were close enough you could just yell out his name and he'd hear you easily!

He was asking how to pinpoint which direction another Bluetooth device is - the way you can now pinpoint where a mobile phone is by measuring the distances between 3 antennas..
I would say it was impossible as your own BT device would need three reference points to take a 'reading' from, for it to be able to calculate the distance and direction.
Can't think of an application for it though - with it being such short range, unless someone Bluejacked you and you wanted to know what they looked like.

Sorry mate but I think you got the wrong idea. I wasn't laughing at you, I thought it was a good idea actually, a sort of mini gps.

I think maybe if some applications API lets you do this, you can measure the distance if you know the maximum distance for bluetooth used in phone and signal strenght. That's it. As goldenface said you cannot calculate position in 2d without having 3 points in space. And there is one important thing - they should know their own position in space to locate fourth phone.
Cheers

No need to talk about diff towers etc like gps as the radar system works from a single point using the rotation of the sensor to pin point exact distance and location(think of a phones infrared sensor that has to point to another device).bluetooth picks up from all directions at once so it simply cannot be done and also the current range of bluetooth is way too close.so simply put it's not possible with the tech out right now...unless they make long range spinning infrared sensor...lol
