I tried everything. I send a lot of files between my desktop iMac and the Pixel phone both ways, no problems before Android 16.

I can no longer send Bluetooth files from Pixel 7 to iMac. Tried everything, I mean everything. The biggest problem is the iMac will not stay Bluetooth connected to the Pixel. It shows connected for a few seconds and then disconnects. However, when you send a file from an iMac to a Pixel 7, the connection holds.

Paired it again, deleted preferences, reset Bluetooth, etc, I can not make it work?

Bluetooth File Exchange works perfectly on the Mac, sending to Pixel 7, connecting, staying connected, and sends.


Why is this not working anymore?

Here are Pixel 7screen shots showing Connected devices, the iMac paired, and the Device Details showing it not connected.

Selecting the + does not connect the iMac. This used to be fine before Android 16, I think.

So here is the problem. Most recently, I decided to abandon my USB mouse and install my Apple Bluetooth mouse.



After reading about how Bluetooth devices consume the 2.4GHz frequency band, I decided to return to using a USB mouse. Now all my files work from Android to iMac. How do you fix this?
