Can't active internal bluetooth with Host Controller Selector > "None"

[badben]

Hello,


I got MBP 2016 with Mojave.

I tried to plug an USB BT dongle because my BT antenna is down.

So I use the "Bluetooth Explorer App" to select another BT device by installing the Host Controller Selector.


In the first try I saw the Internal BT device like this which my other BT Dongle. (This is a screenshot from another computer)

After trying to switch to another ACTIVE device, I lost the Internal BT device from the list.


Now if I click on "Pick a Host Controller" I got nothing > "None".

That's weird because I see the Bluetooth activated

I don't know how to select the internal BT in the list.

I tried to reboot, reset the SMC, the PRAM, etc.

Welcome to our forums.

I'm trying to follow what you've done with regard to BT.

What is the Blue Tooth Controller app? Or do you mean the "System Information.app"?

You've installed the "Host Controller app" which allows you to choose which BT device to use. It also appears that the built in BT is not working (as you stated above).

Apparently, the Blue Tooth Dongle that you installed is not being seen by the system or the "Host Controller app". My guess here is that the Blue Tooth dongle is either not compatible or not working.

Have you tried to use it on another computer? That would be a good test. Sorry, I don't have any other idea to explore for you. Blue Tooth dongles are difficult to get working on a Mac as it is.

Hello,
This is not the same topic as you can see.
I'am talking about deactivate the Internal BT on Bootcamp not on OSX.
