Mac Mini m1 bluetooth problems

Not visible from Russia yet. Guess it will be available in a few hours.

I thought that OS updates are available for everybody in the same moment...

So anyway, how is 11.2 with Bluetooth Issue? Please report )

I'm in the UK and just checked and its saying my Mac is up to date on version 11.1 so its not everywhere yet.

Really want to know if this fix works as I would like to reorder a MacMini M1 to replace the one I sent back because of the BT issue

Honestly, Apple must think either their staff or their customers or both are idiots. I love the products etc but let's face it if they don't monitor this forum that would be ridiculous and pretending they don't know about an issue but fix it anyway is nonsense.

I sent an M1 MacMini back because of the BT issue and it looks like many others have too so even if they didn't monitor the forum they know because of the machines being sent back for a refund. Pretending they are infallible isn't a good look when its clear there are issues they know about.

Hoping this update does sort it our because I really would like to reorder

Sorry. It is the 3rd (!) RC of 11.2, released to Developers. Being that Apple has released yet a 3rd RC, I am assuming that the engineers are still trying to address all the bugs before official release. Community members can wait a few days until 11.2 is officially released. I have not experienced any BT issues since before 11.2 RC 1.

So mine is still working well after this latest update (RC 3) with no disconnects of my mouse, except now my Apple Watch is not unlocking my Mac Mini again. Briefly shows the unlocking notification and then doesn't. Really irritating as with RC 2 it worked great.

Tried all the suggestions on the internet to get the unlock working again but no luck.

Anyone got a magic solution?

Same issue. I hope Apple stock keeps falling due to this and wall street beats. I will own Apple at $50 before they figure out their every day customers understand what outstanding shares and equity mean. I should of gotten a Dell

I had the watch and ios beta but they both have now had a regular update so that is what I was/am on. They didn't help.

Now the funny thing is I was getting fed up so was going to try an app called "Near Lock". Installed it on all three devices and was doing the setup on my Mac Mini and one of the steps it did was clearing bluetooth caches. Got it all installed and was trying to get it to work but then decided to check my regular apple watch unlock and it was working again. Maybe the way that app cleared the caches fixed it? I left that app on my mac but took it out of the login items so it doesn't start on startup.

Restarted and apple watch unlock is still working.

Mouse and keyboard still working fine with zero disconnects.

I'm still on Big Sur 11.1 on my MBP 13 M1. But somehow since 30 jan 2021 my Magic Mouse 2 Black doesn't disconnect anymore. That is really strange, because nothing was changed. Maybe there was some silent update recently...

Back up and running, will test BT now and report back if there are any disconnects.

For the record this system is a;

Mac mini M1 2020

512GB

16GB

Apple Wireless Keyboard 2020

Magic Mouse 2 2020

WiFi 5G (have disconnected my lan cable)

The 11.2 update worked for about a day. The problem is now back, keyboard losing connection, keys getting "sticky" and super slow. For me it boils down to Bluetooth headphones, either the Airpods Pro or my old Bose QC. Whenever I use them for a while the problem is back within minutes. It usually begins with the keyboard losing connection. It reconnects and then the problem is back until I turn off the headphones again.

I'm considering getting a wired keyboard and mouse as well. If I can find one. It's frustrating, I am able to replicate the bug so Apple should be able to as well. I can type fine, I turn on the Bluetooth headphones and within seconds my keyboard just gives up, both slow and replicating keystrokes like the Bluetooth module is buffering or something. I'm a professional artist so I mostly use the keyboard for shortcuts and stuff but even picking a color in Photoshop slows the process down to a crawl.

Here's to all us early adopters, cheers!

I’ve been running 11.3 with very little issues, I remember when I got my original M1 Mac mini and it would become unusable as the Bluetooth would just crash and the Bluetooth settings would freeze.

With 11.3 I’ve noticed rarely that the keyboard and mouse delay when connecting, I think it has happens twice.

It’s getting a lot better, I think Apple needs to adjust power management.

My first two original M1 Mac mini’s were:

8GB Ram 256GB Ssd

My current is:

16GB Ram 1TB Ssd m

Some say that the 16GB Ram versions have less issues but I don’t think so.

Connecting the Magic mouse 2 with the cable to my new MacBook Pro 13" M1 immediately connected it. Unplugged the cable and it's now properly paired. Without this trick the M1 could not connect via bluetooth.

THANK YOU

11.2.2 as of this morning. Had no Bluetooth connection after doing the reset Bluetooth devices to factory reset suggestion. Had to dig our old USB keyboard and mouse to get it back. Working for the moment will wait and see if it still goes bad after awhile. Note that there was nothing in the 11.2.2 update that indicated it had a fix for the Bluetooth problem.

Just recently had a problem with my magic mouse not connecting upon waking from sleep mode. On the latest firmware Big Sur 11.2.2 on a M1 Mac Mini. Apple bluetooth keyboard connected though. Got a spare mouse and tried to turn bluetooth off and then back on but the toggle to turn it off wouldn't respond. Restarted the Mac and when it rebooted bluetooth was off. Turned bluetooth back on and everything connected as normal.

This is the only time I've experienced a problem with bluetooth since turning off Wi Fi. Seems to coincide with having updated the firmware recently.
