MacBookPro1,1 (Mid 2006) Bluetooth not working

I recently installed Arch on an old MacBook Pro (v1,1) from 2006, and I'm having problems getting bluetooth to work.  I'm using bluez4 because I'm using gnome-shell.
hciconfig produces no output.
lsusb shows the device in HID mode,
$ lsusb

so I tried running hid2hci (as suggested by the Bluetooth wiki page) with the path determined as described in this post.

Following this post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=167210 I thought it might have something to do with the kernel? I tried to downgrade kernel from 3.11 to 3.10 an then to 3.9 without resolving the issue.

So its not the kernel module and installing bluez5 or bluez4 made no difference.

So still no clues.... but I think it's related to hid2hci not able to switch mode, I would like to test with bluez-utils < 5.7 but don't have that package at hand, will try to boot from an older install CD just to be sure what the old behavior of hid2hci was and confirm that it should work.

  • In ios7 Bluetooth not working with my ipod touch 5G

    In ios 7 upgrade bluetooth not working properly... It's always searching ... not detecting even ipad with ios7 (bluetooth on).
    I was expected 7.0.3. but no use...

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset the BT device
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Bluetooth not working - T61 - PLEASE HELP :(

    I read a few of other threads about bluetooth not working on T61.
    What I tried:
    Enabling the bluetooth adapter from BIOS (was already enabled)
    No light showing up on the front of the laptop (turns on very briefly when I turn the laptop on)
    Tried fn+f5 and it wont turn on (wi fi is). 
    I installed hotkey driver, rebooted a few times, still nothing. 
    When installing bluetooth driver, it says the device couldn't be found. 
    I used bluetooth before, then I reinstalled windows 7 and it stopped working. 
    Any ideas?

    I got the same problem and it seems like Lenovo just don't care about it. I've already installed all the updates from Lenovo and Windows and newest Bluetooth drivers from Broadcom....still nothing.

    This has never been a feature of iphone/ipod/ipad.
    Bluetooth is supported for handsfree telephone, stereo speakers/headsets, some keyboards, some apps, tethering if provided by the carrier.
    File transfer has never been a feature.

  • Installed iOS7 update and now wifi and Bluetooth not working

    My daughters 4s has never skipped a beat - perfectly reliable. Just updated iOS7 with update and now both wifi and Bluetooth not working. Wifi is greyed out and when you go into bluetooth the busy twirly symbol is constantly going round. Can someone please help me as I'm pulling my hair out! My other Daughters iphone 4s is fins BUT she has not downloaded latest update - and she won't until this is resolved. If needs be I will take to store and DEMAND for it to be sorted out - either by repair or replacement as it is wholly a seemingly software issue and nothing wrong with the phone.
    Gutted really as I am a huge Apple fan and customer with ipods, phones, iMac & iPads all around. If this is not resolved I fear an Apple drought may begin!

    ..... ty for the link, however this is the first result googling the issue..... of course it did not work....
    it is really unbelivable that plenty 4s devices suffered the wifi troubleshooting just after upgrading to ios7, and finally.... i should burn wifi and bluthoot, and another hardware problems should cause % battery value is disappeared....
    all this in one shot....
    firmaware is not well working or is somebody bombing our devices to force us to switch to newest?

    Apple does NOT accept phones sent in from another country.
    You will either need to take the phone back to the UK yourself, or mail it to someone you know there to have him or her bring it in to Apple for you.

  • WINDOWS 8.1 BLUETOOTH NOT WORKING AFTER UPDATE ON ACER V3-571......Solved!!!!!!

    Hello everyone, if anyone has had the horrible task of trying to get his or her bluetooth working after upgrading to windows 8.1, then look no further.  It took me hours and hours of faffing and fist raging, but in the end, there can be only one.  Anyway...Here is your solution.....Ps! I already upgraded to Windows 10, but went back to 8.1 as it trashed my PC and cost me 3.5 half days of painstaking re-install to get my laptop to work again.

IF YOU UPGRADE THIS LAPTOP TO WINDOWS 10...YOUR DOLBY V4 WILL STOP WORKING...was the start of a new nightmare for me.  MICROSOFT UPGRADE YOUR ACER WITH THEIR OWN DRIVERS WHEN YOU UPGRADE TO A NEW OPERATING SYSTEM, OFTEN THIS LEADS TO STUPID FIDDLY THINGS LIKE APPS AND APPLICATIONS NO LONGER WORKING.... SO here we go!!! SOLUTION TO BLUETOOTH NOT WORKING V3-571 ACER WIN 8.1 64-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------1) Switch off your bluetooth    .........search top right screen > Settings > Bluetooth > Toggle off!2) Right Click your windows logo on the left hand side of your screen > device manager > Bluetooth >Uninstall totally the bluetooth driver and or delete.3) Exit device manager.4) www.google. > find acer drivers > acer website.  On website to find drivers, use auto detect serial number > go to your downloads folder >open downloaded auto detector > copy serial number> back to asking box for your serial number >right click > Paste serial number.5)Select operating system from drop down menu (typically windows 8.1)6Drivers > Select Bluetooth Qualcom Atheros Driver 647) Go to downloads on your pc8) Right click the downloaded bluethooth qualcom atheros zip folder >  > extract here9) Go into unzipped bluetooth folder > Double Click the installer Icon > Run installer10) Restart PC11) Boom!!!  Happy Days.....Nightmare over.  YOUR BLUETOOTH WILL NOW CRUISE  Hope this will help other people, I had a nightmare for a good few hours trying to get my bluetooth to work again after upgrading to Win 8.1 FROM Win 8.     

    I am not bothering with windows 10 my friend, it is too much of an newbe baby at the moment and there are just too many bug fixes need doing in my opinion.  I did manage to get my dolby home theatre to work again in windows 10, but it was an awful dulled down version with only half the features of the original that came with the version that was on my pc. My plan is to stick to windows 8.1 until it's death.  When they withdrawl all the security patches for windows 8.1 and it becomes obsolete, then I will be forced to trash my pc again and go to windows 10, was not much fun mind spending 3.5 days putting everything back to its former state.   Hope they do make windows 10 more stable and fix a lot of the bugs.  I tried opening videos and pictures in windows 10.... result = missing element errors.... and  error, error,  error,,,  So I think I will wait until 28 July 16 to when the last day of my free upgrade and reservation to windows 10 becomes mandatory.  (This is I day before my year to upgrade expires). Thanks for your post.  Will
