Bluetooth SDP Secure and Insecure

What is the difference between an insecure and a secure connection? My bluetoothapp isnt working that well and so i thought about this. In the Chat example they are using both secure and insecure http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/BluetoothChat/index.html

In my app I am just using an insecure connection and i get this exception every time I want to connect on my connecting device:

BluetoothChatService Socket Type: nullaccept() failed BluetoothChatService java.io.IOException: Operation Canceled

Insecure is used when you don't want the user to be involved in any authentication process. Depending on the Bluetooth version of the devices involved it might result in creating a link without authentication or creating a link with authentication and encryption but created using secure simple pairing (available in latest Bluetooth 2.1 and above versions) just works model.
