Change Class of Device (CoD) code for Bluetooth Bee

Community Project Proposal
#1

The Bluetooth Bee is stated as being SPP (Serial Port Profile) bluetooth device. Unfortunately, it is impossible to pair this to most Android phones, due to a bug(?) in the broadcomm bluetooth stack used by most phone vendors.

This is the offending line of code (copy and paste the URL, it was not parsed correctly by this bulletin board):

Which results in:

Basically, all Bluetooth devices that report their class as 0x00 are blocked from use. Apparently it may be difficult to convince phone manufactures that this is a bug that needs to be fixed on their side:

So there are only two ways around this: root your phone and patch the bluetooth stack (yuck) or change the class code that the bluetooth bee module returns to be non-zero.

Is there any way/chance to change the class code that is reported by the bluetooth bee? I hope so!!!
