nyolc8 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I never had to do anything with the bluetooth kexts to get working bluetooth. My adapter vendor id and device id are in the kext by default. It's in the 10.9 bluetooth kext too. Bluetooth icon appears in system preferences, but I just can't disable it, I push the button and nothing happens. And also it can't find any bluetooth device. Is this a bug in the kext? My device is in the kext by default so I don't get why it's not working. I tried to use 10.8 kext and everything works fine. So something wrong with the 10.9 bluetooth kext. Is anyone else have similar problem? The button not working and the indicator spins forever, and no device appears.

aphex6b Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Same issue here. However i can see my devices, but im unable to connect / pair. And it's stuck in ON. Working fine in 10.8, with wireless trackpad / keyboard. Could you tell me what .kext u used from the 10.8 partition for your 10.9 DP1 install? Only things i tried yet to get it going was doing some resets with the "bluetooth explorer" utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyolc8 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 I'm using the IOBluetoothFamily.kext from 10.8.4. I just replaced it. I hope I won't have to do this in final... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomad347 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2C and a bluetooth adapter made by Trust Vendor ID: 0xa5 Product ID: 0x2101. I have the same strange connectivity issues. Bluetooth seems to be on but no device is detected. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maly70 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Bluetooth has the same issue in Maverick dp1, I think it is not working on purpose.... cause maybe Bluetooth 5.0 on the door (u never know) I have the same issue, I can see all my devices including iphone 5, magic mouse, etc....

denver085 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I have exactly the same problem. None of bluetooth device appear. Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyolc8 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 You can use the ML IOBluetoothFamily kext and it will work fine. It works for me. I hope this is just a bug and will be fixed in later builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denver085 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hi Nyolc8.I'm using IOBluetoothFamily.kext version 4.0.7 at the moment. With this version I at least can see the bluetooth icon.If I use version 4.2.0 the Bluetooth icon disappears. What version are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyolc8 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 I'm using 4.1.4. I copied it from 10.8.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacheraaron Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Same issue here! I tried 3 different USB dongles with different chips, so I wonder if its a USB controller issue. Tried swapping IOBluetoothFamily kext with one from 10.8.3 but doesn't change anything. I'll grab the kext from 10.8.4 tomorrow at work and post again. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyolc8 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 With 10.8.4 kext it works as it worked on ML for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacheraaron Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Weird! I swapped my kext with 4.1.4 from ML using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], but after several reboots my system profiler still reports "Apple Bluetooth Software Version: 4.2 beta" and the problem remains. Is IOBluetoothFamily kext the only ingredient here? Or am I missing something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacheraaron Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I reinstalled by making my own vanilla USB installer (not myhack) which got rid of my bluetooth problem. The stock 10.9 DP1 kexts are working fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyolc8 Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 I always make my installer without any tool, so I did mine without anything, and I've got this problem... so... I think it's caused by something else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanael Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 i have the same problem here. With my macbook the bluetooth is working but on my hack it's not working EDIT: Using the version from 10.8.4 everything is working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyolc8 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 With 10.8.4 kext, it's working, and I can turn it off/on, but I would prefer to use the original kext like I did before on ML... But it looks like this will ends now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techfreak85 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 DP2 here. Patched to the 10.8.4 kext. Bluetooth turns on an off, but I can't connect to my devices. Worked fine after patching on DP1. Anybody else getting this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody else getting this? Anybody? Still haven't gotten this fixed on DP2. Bluetooth goes into discoverable mode (I can see the light flashing on my usb dongle), but my devices never show up in the list when I try to pair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyolc8 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 I just got WORKING BLUTOOTH WITH UNMODIFIED 10.9 DP2 KEXT! And the solution was extremely easy: - just went to /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist - Changed the "ControllerPowerState" to 1. - Reboot. - And boom, it's working lol. (but can't/don't disable it because then you have to modify the plist again to get it working) So it looks like they changed some power state related things in the kext, and that is the problem. Btw I read on some forum that there is people with bluetooth problems on real macs too. So still hoping that this is just some bug. edit: tested every function that I could, and looks like everything works, file sending, browsing the bluetooth device, etc... Just can't disable bluetooth, and can't change the "discoverable" setting anywhere. I just can't find the place for discoverable option... And I see that discoverable is disabled (and greyed out) in the cmd+click bluetooth menu. edit2: just noticed the stretched bluetooth icon on the file sending window, it looks like bluetooth is not completed yet... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techfreak85 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I just got WORKING BLUTOOTH WITH UNMODIFIED 10.9 DP2 KEXT! I did tried this, but I'm still having issues. Changed the setting, rebooted, but my mouse, keyboard, and phone don't show up in the Bluetooth page in System Preferences. Oddly, when I have the page open, the menubar actually says it's in discoverable mode, and I see the lights blinking on my dongle, so that's funny you can't get yours in discoverable mode. Now that I think abut it, I'm not sure if I'm using the kext from DP1 or 2 (things got lost from swapping out kexts and whatnot). Does anybody have a copy of the DP2 kext they can post/share in case the previous method only works with the DP2 kext and not DP1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
