https://dongle.hideez.com/how-to-use-hideez-bluetooth-dongle-on-macos Didn't know there was an install page for MacOS for HIDEEZ. It says "Note! The connection may be unstable on macOS Monterey" interesting! This is why I am staying on Big Sur for now, because of the changes to the...

Why not try the Hideez dongle in Monterey?

I have the same issue with 11.6.3, i'm on 11.6.2 and I got the download, then rebooted and nothing. At first it hung (spinning...spinning... no updates) Then I booted into recovery disabled csrutil and then deleted /Library/Updates. That got me the new Safari update only (no 11.6.3). Since...

OpenCore wont do anything because Monterey changed its Bluetooth Kexts. They removed a lot. I briefly installed monterey to examine the kexts. But I am on Big Sur now. Monterey cut out a lot of dongles and the bluetooth stack its all changed for the worse actually.

HI EVERYONE - UPDATE: I'm on Big Sur and I now switched to Hideez Smart USB Bluetooth Dongle for macOS & Windows 10 – Low Energy, Long Range, Micro Bluetooth Adapter for Mouse, Keyboard, Headphones, Speaker and Other Bluetooth Devices. It works NATIVELY on Big Sur (just plug it in). And I...

I was looking for bluetooth 5.0, and the chip number "20704" is the same/similar to Broadcom. There was other versions that were bluetooth 4.2, and DigiKey had the 5.0 version. This chip DOES NOT NEED FIRMWARE INJECTION.... its ready to go when it turns on, unlike other bluetooth usb. I am...

Sorry for the delayed response... The Fenvi-T919 bluetooth module is USB and works via a USB to motherboard-header cable. This is bad because it uses up a motherboard header that is really for the front panel usb. As long as you dont connect a USB motherboard cable to the Fenvi, you are fine...

I've now upgraded to Catalina, and on BOTH catalina and mojave I have 2 brands of Bluetooth 5.0 earbuds ---> Boltune and SoundCoreX, both earbuds and both versions never worked for Microphone input. When I go into the input in Sound preferences I can't get the microphone to work. If you go...

if you are using AirPods, which use the Apple W1/W2 bluetooth chip, you probably will only get that level of quality on a real Mac since it probably is built for the W1/W2 chip. I dont use AirPods, I use a Bluetooth 5.0 earbuds with AptX. You can enable AptX on your Mac and it gives better...

I don't have an Apple Watch, but I think if we think about it, the issues aren't with the dongle. The process is half bluetooth, and then half WiFi (the other half of the process) takes over for the transfer. There is a LOT of interference with Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz WiFi. Even just searching...

OK I fixed it, its instantaneous now. I didn't have WiFi turned on (I run off ethernet). OK, its very responsive now in Catalina. No kext patching needed. Its working quickly. My desktop runs off ethernet, and I didn't pay attention to WiFi. You can turn WiFi on without having to connect...

Seems to work, I had to turn things off on my phone and then back on (Bluetooth, airdrop, etc). it does seem slower at times? its very hard to figure out. Anyway on Mojave its faster. Its definitely slower I think on Catalina.

OK I'm booted into OpenCore+Catalina. I'm not getting handoff come up now on the Dock in Catalina. But I am getting the reverse: if I open my iPad, I am instantly getting handoff from my desktop show up in the iPad dock. This is why handoff is so frustrating. Magic Trackpad works fine. If I...

It could be antenna placement. I have a dual system (mainboard Clover + Mojave) with a test disk via usb (OpenCore + Catalina). I just tested it right now and it works instantly (i'm on Mojave now) --> so, when I open Safari it triggers the dock icon, and when i swipe away safari on the iPhone...

I just installed OpenCore + Catalina 10.15.5 and Laird and it "seems" works fine natively without any kext patching, but handoff...

Its working now. I downgraded Clover to 4xxx and due to the 5xxx not recognizing -64 files that fixed it. All better now that AppStore works ! and I rechecked all the 64 bit drivers in clover. I'm staying on Clover 4934 and not messing with things until Catalina. whew!!!!

Last night App Store stopped working for me on Mojave. I am tracking these threads in Apple Communities too https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251378763 It had a hiccup the other day, but I just Force Killed the process and it worked again a few days ago. App Store also wasn't working on...

I use the Fenvi PCI card for Wifi, so I don't know anything about WiFi on USB. I dont know of any other USB 5.0 dongle especially for China. Sorry. search amazon for "wifi usb hackintosh" and you'll find some Mac compatible wifi there.

Proximity Issue Solved The issue with the phone needing to be close in proximity to the USB device, is solved now. I was using Finder with AirDrop turned on in Favorites, where AirDrop is shown in the Favorites side-bar. I went into Finder / Preferences / Sidebar and un-checked AirDrop...

Here's something interesting... blueutil bluetooth utility command line brew install blueutil $ blueutil --paired address: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx, connected (master, -44 dBm), not favourite, paired, name: "BT5.0 Mouse", recent access date: 2020-03-31 01:02:38 +0000 address: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx, not...
