Android Bluetooth can't connect

I've been having this problem for a while and haven't been able to figure it out.

I have an Android application that puts all paired devices in a listview. When you click one of the list items, it will initiate a request to connect to that Bluetooth device.

I can get the list of devices with their addresses no problem. The problem is that once I try to connect I get an IOException on socket.connect();

The error message is as follows:

connect read failed, socket might closed or timeout, read ret: -1

Here is my code. How can I fix this?

FYI: the "onEvent" methods is a library that simplifies callbacks...that part works.

When the user clicks on a list items, this method is called "public void onEvent(EventMessage.DeviceSelected event)":

public class EcoDashActivity extends BaseActivity {

    public static final UUID MY_UUID = UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB");

    private BluetoothAdapter mBluetoothAdapter;
    private int REQUEST_ENABLE_BT = 100;
    private ArrayList<BluetoothDevice> mDevicesList;
    private BluetoothDeviceDialog mDialog;
    private ProgressDialog progressBar;
    private int progressBarStatus = 0;
    private Handler progressBarHandler = new Handler();


    @Override
    public void onCreate(final Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        mDevicesList = new ArrayList<BluetoothDevice>();

        // Register the BroadcastReceiver
        IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND);
        registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);

        setupBluetooth();
    }

    private void setupBluetooth() {
        mBluetoothAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
        if (mBluetoothAdapter == null) {
            // De
