Hi all and
@toleda in particular. After recently upgrading my Skylake build from High Sierra 10.13.6 to Mojave 10.14 my machine wakes from sleep whenever I walk past it with my Apple 3 LTE watch and raise my arm to view the time, or what ever happens to be on the dial face at that moment. To prevent the machine from doing that I need to do one of two things:
1. Enable "Airplane Mode" mode on the watch face or
2. Untick "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" as per the attached screenshot.and use the power button to wake
the machine.
I upgraded to Mojave 14.0 directly from my HS 10.13.6 production installation, keeping a working cloned security SDD for myself to fall back on, should the need ever arise, which indeed it now has, albeit only for testing purposes.
When I fire up the HS 10.13.6 security copy I can do whatever I want with my Apple watch and it will not wake my Skylake build when it should not, neither do I need to apply anyone of the two workarounds mentioned earlier.
I started off testing this "annoyance" with a BCM 943602CS card installed and then replacing that card with a Fenvi FV T919 BCM 94360 module I had available as a spare.
The annoyance manifests itself with either card. With both cards I have full Bluetooth as well as WiFi
functionality, so there is no problem in that area.
Subsequently I tested my Haswell build, which is still on HS 10.13.6, waiting for Nvidia "metal" drivers for the GTX 970 in that machine. Also on that build I do not need to apply any workaround in order for my Apple watch not to wake/interfere with that machine. I am currently using Watch OS 5.0.1, which is the latest available from Apple.
My Skylake build is rock solid in all other respects as a result of which I am hesitant to start tinkering with the configuration, unless there is something I have overlooked that requires patching specifically for Mojave 10.14. I am also using AirportBrcmFixup.kext with the "brcmfx-country=#a" boot argument.
I would greatly appreciate any input to assist in perhaps resolving this issue, which I am hesitant to lay on the doors of Apple.
Greetings
