Bluetooth mouse disconnects on idle

Hi @Isaiah_Sellassie,

Probably your NetworkManager is setting the wifi device to sleep - power save, and the Bluetooth device is embedded inside your wifi card.
You can try to disable Radio power save editing this file :

/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf

[connection]
wifi.powersave = 2

As described here the wifi.powersave can take 4 values :

From the source code: wifi.powersave can have the following value:

NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_DEFAULT (0): use the default value
NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_IGNORE (1): don't touch existing setting
NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_DISABLE (2): disable powersave
NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_ENABLE (3): enable powersave

Please try it out. Good luck :slight_smile:
