[android-developers] Configure Android to receive UDP broadcast packets

I'm trying to develop an Android 2.2 application but I'm having a lot of problems with UDP sockets.

I have two phones, and HTC Desire 2.2.2 and Samsung Galaxy S. I'm developing a program that will wait to receive UDP Broadcast packets send by a device that sends UDP broadcast packets to 255.255.255.255:8001 every 0.5 seconds.

To test my application I'm using Docklight scripting v1.9. With this program I send broadcast packet to UDP:255.255.255.255:8001.

This is my problem:

With the same code I don't receive broadcast packets in the HTC, but I receive UDP unicast packets if I send those packets to phone's IP.

But, if I try with Samsung Galaxy S, I don't receive every packet in both cases (unicast and broadcast). With this phone I receive one packet or two, and one or two seconds later I receive four or five at the same time.

I'm wondering if I need a special configuration to make it work.

May I need a special configuration?
