Apple Magic Mouse OSX86 - external bluetooth dongle

[damiafix]

Using BTExplorer on the dongle it seems that when it sleeps/wakes all the BT services are lost (composite class of device is zero)

 

Pulling it out/in then restarts them

 

Hello Steve,

I've your mobo and your bt-dongle (trust) but I've a problem, if I leave the BT-dongle connected on the Mobo, when I power on the computer it don't start correctly, it remain stopped on the splash image, and after some second it reboot, and repeat this operation at the infinite.

Do you have the same problem? Certaintly this could to depend from the bios settings, but I don't have found nothing on the bios.

 

Cheers, D.

Hey guys,

is that only the trust bluetooth dongle or dlink, belkin would enable a proper use of magic mouse? with a swipe and scroll etc.

 

Mine bluetooth dongle can connect both mouse and keyboard, but the magic mouse is not magic at all.

 

Below is the specs, is that anything i can do to make it work? or i just need to grab a trust dongle?

 

any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Have you tried adding your device id to kdawgs LegacyBluetooth kext I've linked a fews posts back?

You have Cambridge so it should work for you.

Got a bt dongle for my hackintosh and a magic mouse, works great except for on minor detail. when i click on mouse on system preferences, systems preferences crashes anyone know how to fix this?

[damiafix]

Just in case anyone was wondering, the new magic trackpad does work in conjunction with a magic mouse

 

a pretty nice combination

 

steve

 

Steve, do you have resolved the problem about the combination between the EX58-UD5 and the Trust BT-dongle? I've the same problem...maybe tomorrow I'll try a Belkin BT-Dongle of mine friend.

 

Cheers, D.

[D-an-W]

Whats the problem you have? I am going to have a good play with all these dongles over Christmas (Have an ASUS one stuck in the post too somewhere!), might get the one from Tesco also...

[damiafix]

Hi D-an-W,

thanks for the reply...the problem is easy, if you plug a trust bt-dongle (with broadcom chipset) on a Gigabyte EX58-UD5, when you power on your PC, it don't make the memory check and the boot but it's like freezed, and after some second reboot at the infinite! I've seen that Locus (Steve) have mine same problem, so I assume that's a problem of compatibility with this mobo. What do you think?

thanks FKA!

 

the kext has the exact same id to my device, so i don't need the anything.

I put the kext into E/E in EFI partition, but how could i make sure it's loaded?

nothing changes since i put that in, is it still using the previous drivers?

cus the wake from sleep option still greys out and gesture in magic mouse don't work.

the id is still the same.

Hello,

I've tried a Belkin BT-Dongle -

 

Model: F8T003 ver. 2.11

FCC ID: K7SF8T003 V2

IC ID: 3623 A-F8T003V2

 

look it from this picture:

 

 

It use a Cambridge Silicon Radio chipset, and work fine with the Magic Mouse, but I've the strange impression that it's a bit most slow that mine Trust BT-Dongle, (I've a problem with the Trust and the EX58-UD5 mobo; when switch on the PC with this BT-dongle plugged in it don't run correctly) or that sometime it lost the connection with the mouse, or that it use most CPU then the normal, but this could to be a easy impression.

First of the Trust, I've bought another BT-Dongle (without name) that use the same chipset of the Belkin, but it don't work with OSX, in any way.

 

Cheers, D.

[damiafix]

Hello mates,

I've a good news for the Gigabyte EX58-UD5, and Trust BT-Dongle owners, with the bios upgrade, from the f12 to the new beta release 13q, all work fine; no stop and reboots to the startup. I'm back to the trust bt-dongle that I've bough some day ago!!!

 

Cheers. D.

If you happen to be in the UK you can wander down to your nearest Tesco and pick up their own brand dongle (Technika TKB109) or buy online from Tesco direct

 

http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.100-7710.aspx

 

Works 100% natively in 10.5.x and 10.6.x on both real Macs and OSX86. Bluetooth wake from sleep works, every BT device I have tried with it connects perfectly including the Magic Mouse, and the connection is rock solid - no annoying drop-outs unlike some other dongles. It's based around the same Cambridge Silicon Radio chipset that Apple have used since the Powerbook G4, just plug it in and you're away.

 

Finally picked up a Tesco dongle and first impressions are good. flakmonkey, when you said Bluetooth wake from sleep works I assume you meant you can wake the system by clicking the mouse or pressing the keyboard?

 

I haven't edited any files since adding it but my "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" is greyed out so I have to press the power button to wake but eveything including the Trackpad work correctly once woken.

 

Initial tests in Windows 7 (64-bit) seem promising too which is what let the DBT-120 down as it doesn't like 64-bit Windows it seems.

 

I still have an ASUS dongle lost somewhere but I don't hold much hope of that ever arriving now...

Any solution anyone?

WAKE from Sleep via bluetooth??? Can anyone cast some light please? Magic mouse and wireless keyboard work except for wake.

 

 

Yes it works out of the box. I use a Keysonic USB bluetooth dongle and the magic mouse. Other USB bluetooth devices should also work. Also the HANTOL BLUETOOTH DONGLE MINI US works OOB. But no wake [sigh] from sleep yet.

 

However, I have the problem of wake from sleep when I use also the Apple Wireless keyboard. I am digging into the issue. Currently the computer is put to Sleep=Never, because I have to reboot everytime it sleeps.

Hello to all,

 

what about the CSR chip ?

 

I am not able to wake from sleep with this chip editing the id's .

 

Many thanks for the attention

 

Giuseppe

[muitommy]

i just received a etrust 2400p mini dongle which uses a broadcom chip.

plug and play the chip and it works correctly, including wake from sleep, connect the wireless keyboard and MM.

but i just couldn't enable the gesture of my MM, the mouse preference panel is still the normal one after connecting.

 

I have tried to connect it to my mba, and the gesture preference panel would show up correctly, what's wrong with my hackintosh??

 

The stats are listed below, can someone help?

Hello to all,

i have a CSR chip , try different methods, no way to get it work, neither wake from sleep nor gesture.

[D-an-W]

I have now come up with an automated solution for the Belkin (Will work with others too) that lets me wakeup from all methods of sleep by pressing any key on the Apple BT Keyboard.

 

Using two tiny programs called SleepWatcher and BlueUtil, Bluetooth is turned off and back on again when waking from Sleep thus restoring full functionality.

 

Basically, SleepWatcher runs the very simple script from rc.WakeUp (In /etc), launched by BlueUtil.plist (In Library/LaunchAgents).

 

BlueUtil.plist

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "<A href="http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd</A>">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>de.bernhard-baehr.sleepwatcher</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
 <string>/usr/local/sbin/SleepWatcher</string>
 <string>-w /etc/rc.WakeUp</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>

 

rc.WakeUp

/usr/local/sbin/BlueUtil off
sleep 1
/usr/local/sbin/BlueUtil on

 

BlueUtil has three command line options...

BlueUtil status
BlueUtil Off
BlueUtil On

 

In my case Bluetooth is turned off and back on within a couple of seconds of the OS waking up, you don't really notice it doing it's stuff!

 

http://www.bernhard-baehr.de/ <--SleepWatcher, MANY thanks to Bernhard for his help with this.

 

http://www.frederikseiffert.de/blueutil/ <--BlueUtil

 

I should say I also had the LegacyBluetooth.kext by kdawg which enables the "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this Computer" box to be unticked.

 

It would be good for someone else to test this

[weaana]

well, here's exactly what i did, it doesn't logically make sense to me in any way but... i'm pretty sure first i had uninstalled the drivers in win 7 by removing it through the control panel/programs & features. i then went to bluetooth and went to "add device" when mouse is find just highlight it and click next and go through the pairing process (when i would right click the device and hit properties it would ask me for pairing code, don't do this) - after the mouse is working, reboot into snow and re-pair the device (may as well do it through the system preferences/mouse/& bluetooth device). then i booted back into windows, it wasn't working as i anticipated.. but i was just at the point where i could follow the apple support article instructions. i shut down windows, booted back up into snow (where the mouse was working) and re-paired it through system preferences/mouse/ add bluetooth device anyways... rebooted back into windows & lo and behold the mouse was working (after a couple mouse clicks)... if you get to this point, then install the windows drivers for the magic mouse to get functionality of scrolling and such.

 

i know what i've said is pretty bizarre, but humor me and try it lol.

 

*btw, at no point should you be asked for a pairing code in windows if i hadn't made that clear.

 

hi antipop,

Thanks for the instructions. tried it to heart on my hackintosh with windows 7 - 64 bit. still no joy.hope you are doing this on a hac itself, not a mac. The issues i face are i cant re-pair in mac without deleting the mouse first from bluetooth assistant. i have to on the mouse in mac by physically turning on the on/off switch.

 

thanks again

you don't need new dongle . Just put your device ID and Vendor id from second box you posted (small One)

Kinda pricy but innovative solution

 

I saw a solution on eBay, and it looks like it would work well. Search for "ultimate bluetooth unit" on eBay and it should provide the link, if it's still up. It appears this seller has modified an actual Mac Pro bluetooth module so that it can connect via USB. I work in Mac Pro hardware development and know that the special connector on the 2006-2008 Mac Pro models is just a proprietary connector Apple developed that provides a USB port, so this should work really well. Again, kinda expensive, but it may solve any present and future bluetooth issues without having to resort to any tricky workarounds, which does appeal to me.

Yes, very expensive, you can get macbook or imac bluetooth modules on ebay for a few dollars. The problem is that these modules run on 3.3v instead of 5v. I have been searching for a DC regulator that will step down 5v from USB to 3.3v so I can use one of these in my "Mac Pro"

 

I think I finally found what I was looking for... Once I get it, I will post exactly how I did it and how it worked out.

 

DC-DC Converter Module Regulator

[D-an-W]

Check out the post here for the way macaddictcr integrated the Apple BT module...

[Swhay]

Interesting. I never thought of a USB hub.

 

A while ago, I did buy what I thought was a 5v to 3.3v regulator. Once I got it, i hooked it up and it did not work. After fiddling around with it, I found out that the minimum input voltage was 7v not 5v like I need (you need to drop down the 5v usb to 3.3 cause the usb is powered even when the computer is asleep). I hooked up the regulator again to a 12v source, and I got 3.3v out of it with no problem, and the Macbook bluetooth module I connected worked perfectly, except when it went to sleep (cause the power got cut to it).

 

I then put this idea aside, and tried with a legacy bluetooth kext and the original Targus USB BT adapter, works great, wake from sleep works, but the computer won't auto sleep. I tired an autosleep script from the forum, and it did go to sleep, but after say 5 min or so, when you tried to wake it again. I found that the computer was shutdown.

 

Determined to get this working like a real Mac, I finally found that 5v to 3.3v regulator on ebay for around $5.00 USD. I figured for 5 bucks it's worth trying again. If it will drop 5v usb to 3.3v, then I am positive the Macbook bluetooth module will work. I feel I am so close to a permanent hassle free solution.

 

I will post my results, and if I am successful I will do a detailed easy to follow how to with full parts list and close up pictures etc.

[kmare]

Spent today experimenting with a same/similar macbook pro BT module (attached). It works fine using 5V off a USB hub, it does not work for some reason off a USB header. This is definitely the way to go as these modules are available for cheap off ebay

 

Update: March 14 - Genuine usb is wired up to MB USB header. I put 2xdiodes in series at the 5V to drop the voltage more or less down to 3.6V volts, close enough for me. Full sleep support, full magic mouse support. Screen shot of profiler attached

[DislikeYou]

Hello i have an DBT 120 rev B4, it works good in OSX, wake from sleep is not possible but i don't care about that. What i want is to apply the apple firmware 1.2 so i can use the dongle in bios. I tried using the firmware updater in SL but it does not work. Someone told me i must do it from an PowerPC mac, is this true, or is it enought to install Leopard on my pc???

 

Or do you know any other bt dongle that works in both bios and osx?
