does anyone know how i would deal with his on the gatt client side of things like a phonegap application?

I was wondering if someone could help me?  I would like to  transmit  serial data from my tinyduino  to an android or I phone.  i purchased the bluetooth LE shield,  from what i understand this is the hardware i need in order to complete the task. I have unfortunately not been successful following their example. I understand that BLE does not work in the same manner as bluetooth classic, i am aware that not all devices are able to discover the BLE module. I have used many pre-programmed BLE host such as lightblue and still havent had any luck. i have also tried to connect the BLE shield without the USB shield attached as well and still no luck. I know that this is possible or else the company would not make the shield. I would really appreciate if someone could help me out.
