Bluetooth doesn't work after wake on Monterey.

Hey everyone. I was curious is anyone is having bluetooth issues on Monterey. On wake, I have to toggle Bluetooth off and back on before my Magic Mouse will respond. It says "connected" the entire time in the Preference pane. It always works on boot, and worked just fine in Big Sur. This is a...

On some systems, certain BT devices such as a Apple Magic Mouse and Keyboard wont connect properly after a sleep / wake cycle. As discussed in the above threads this can be cured by toggling BT Off and back On again.

I found that this could be automated by using Better Touch Tool (BTT) to turn off BT when entering sleep and back on again when waking the system which i detailed in this post :-

Bluetooth doesn't work after wake on Monterey.

I also am experiencing the same issue ... Running Monterey 12.2.1 via OpenCore 0.7.8 with natively supported Broadcom WiFi/BT combo (BCM943602CS) in a PCIe PCIe adapter card on Gigabyte Z490 Vision G, after the system wakes from sleep my Apple magic mouse no longer works. As a work around I...

However at some point during Ventura's update cycle it looks like Apple changed things again which unfortunately seems to have stoped BTT from properly turning BT back on after wake.

For anyone looking for a solution to this frustrating issue try using the BlueSnooze App :-

GitHub - odlp/bluesnooze: Sleeping Mac = Bluetooth off

Sleeping Mac = Bluetooth off. Contribute to odlp/bluesnooze development by creating an account on GitHub.

Unlike BTT, BlueSnooze is open source / free and uses a 3rd party API to toggle the BT on and off which seems to work reliably with Ventura and Sonoma (I have not tested it on other versions of MacOS). BlueSnooze requires no configuration to work so its a great solution for novices. Simply download the latest build and install to Applications, then run it. Finaly click on the BlueSnooze icon in the top menu bar and select "Launch at Login".



You should now find that your Magic Mouse / Keyboard / Other BT device now works after waking the system. The only negative side effect of this approach is that you can not use an Apple watch to automatically unlock your hack which the developer of BlueSnooze acknowledges in the caveats section.

Cheers
Jay

Thank you for posting this. For the most, I think BlueSnooze can be a good solution for the behavior.

I've also had suffered from this and this maybe specific to my motherboard, but in the end, turning the RAM speed down to 2933MHz had worked for me. I can continue to use USBWakeFixup and this also happens to fix "Disk not ejected properly" notification for USB 2.0 drives after the sleep/wake cycle.
