I am new and could use some help getting my devices to connect to the Bluetooth shield board. I am able to get the BT Shield board into inquirable mode since the red and green lights are flashing. However when I try to connect my Windows Phone 8 device or Windows laptop to the BT Shield, it immediately shows up as connected and then disconnected and the red and green lights keep flashing. In addition, I can communicate fine with the device via sscomm sending it commands and getting the appropriate responses but a connection never happens via that method either. Any help would be appreciated to get me out of the Christmas light flashing mode and into the cool green connected mode

BluetoothShield Demo Code Slave.pde. This sketch could be used with
Master.pde to establish connection between two Arduino. It can also
be used for one slave bluetooth connected by the device(PC/Smart Phone)
with bluetooth function.
