Windows Phone 8 Bluetooth Error HRESULT: 0x8007271D

I have been trying to develop my Windows Phone 8 app to access a paired Bluetooth device (a printer) and send over some print data.

I'm developing on Windows 8 64bit and using VS2012 Express. Due to the Emulator not supporting Bluetooth I have been uploading the build to a Nokia Lumia 820 for testing purposes.

I have used the following two sites for references:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj207007(v=vs.105).aspx

http://www.geekchamp.com/articles/getting-started-with-bluetooth-in-windows-phone-8

The App finds the pair device and ouputs the printer name by the Debug command.

The code works up until the point:

await socket.ConnectAsync(selectedDevice.HostName, "1");

And then it breaks with the following exception:

********** EXCEPTION OCCURED **********
Data: System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal
InnerException: 
Message: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007271D)
StackTrace:    at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task)

--- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown ---
   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.AsyncMethodBuilderCore.<ThrowAsync>b__0(Object state)
********** EXCEPTION OCCURED **********

If a remove "await" before socket.ConnectAsync(selectedDevice.HostName, "1"); then the code will continue without any errors but no Bluetooth connection is made?

I have tried every number from 1 to 30 as it states in the tutorials and I have also made sure that ID_CAP_NETWORKING is enabled in WMAppManifest.xml.

Please does anybody have any idea's?

                AppToDevice();
            });
        }

    }
}

After much playing around and resetting the phone back to its original state with no success.

I ticked "ID_CAP_PROXIMITY" in WMAppManifest.xml and it started working straight away!

It looks like the Error Code I had for "ID_CAP_PROXIMITY" was maybe wrong so here is an update in code plus a few more error messages I have come across since.

I hope this might help somebody that is having a similar issue.
