The remote will connect -iff- bluetooth is enabled before you start looking for servers. However - if you don't have bluetooth enabled - you can see from the status bar that the app is -trying- to enable bluetooth, which it does silently - but it gives no feedback on that, and it 100% refuses to find anything having done it [ is there some improved polling / re-scanning stuff required there ? ]. Worse exiting seems to stop bluetooth again such that even a second start doesn't find the remote machine. Either way this makes the user-experiences un-necessarily confusing / painful - we should (presumably) either re-scan when bluetooth is enabled - or refuse to start unless bluetooth is manually enabled (?).
moved to the correct module
