Re: Remote Buddy, OSX Lion and BD Remote

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
Thanks for the feedback.

Unfortunately, the bug that already plagued users of 10.7.2 and was fixed in 10.7.3 makes a re-appearance in 10.7.4, although in a slightly different manner. These are the results of my tests so far:

- Sony PS3 BD remotes set up under 10.7.3 appear to continue to work correctly 
- "new" Sony PS3 BD remotes either 
a) can't be set up at all under 10.7.4 due to the re-appearance of the PIN request bug in the OS X Bluetooth stack 
b) or, due to the same bug in the OS X Bluetooth stack, OS X brings up the PIN request dialog when the remote tries to re-establish a connection via Bluetooth.

I've filed a new bug report with Apple and have updated the hardware page accordingly.

Since this is a general bug in the OS X Bluetooth stack itself, it can only be addressed by Apple themselves. Remote Buddy does not cause this issue and - since the bug is situated at a very low level inside the OS X Bluetooth stack itself - also has no way of working around it.

Since I have no insight in or influence on Apple's development team, I can't provide any information as to whether or when Apple intends to again address this bug. Therefore, please contact Apple if you have questions regarding the availability or timing of a fix for this bug.

Or, if you'd like to increase chances that Apple prioritizes a fix for this bug, file a bugreport (at http://bugreport.apple.com/) regarding the issue and "duplicate" the bug I filed in it (radr://11440611) by referencing it in your bug report.

Best regards,
