I have good reason to suspect that my intractable iMac bluetooth mouse/keyboard disconnection problem was related to the Android File Transfer app downloaded from Android. Wipe/reload was the only cure until I re-downloaded that app. Never again!
I don't intend to waste any more time proving this, but wonder if anybody else agrees?

Hi I found this thread because I also was having Bluetooth issues with Mojave 10.4.2 the last few days. I turns out that on this last Friday I installed Android File Transfer to test a friends android phone. Today I found this message and promptly removed Android File Transfer (AFT). A few interesting points about AFT. When I downloaded it from the Android website I noticed the Mac requirements were Mac OS 10.7 which leads me to believe AFT hasn’t been updated recently. Also before I installed AFT I was able to hookup the android phone and see it as a “hard drive” with Commander One ( a Finder replacement). As soon as I installed AFT, Commander One couldn’t see the android phone anymore. So my conclusion is that AFT is not a well behaved program as it appears to take over and interferes with general system operations.
Looks like it is really the AFT - this is anyway a special feature with OS X - happened before, a perfectly safe program shutting down everything at random...
I have to take this back unfortunately.. My bluetooth just shutdown and keyboard and mouse didn't work until a restart.
Possible bluetooth solution
