Bose QuietComfort 35 II support

[statham-stone]

It always shows "20%" . (Even when actually it is 100%, tested on other devices.)

After restart, the bug disappeared.

Sometimes it shows"can not connect", restart bluetooth sovles the problem.

It doesn't report battery status. The same happens with Airpods. Every time I have to reconnect it.

how to reconnect it?

@statham-stone Reconnect the headphones. I mean, turn off Bose and turn it on again lol

I have the same problem, Bose QC35 (version 1) does not work... Bose Application can see the battery status...

@lisoant Are you referring to the Bose iPhone app? If there is an official Bose app for macOS, I've failed to find it. :(

Otherwise I can report somewhat the same results here. There is partial support for Bose QC35 II. But the battery information does not seem to be sent regularly? So most of the time it says "No reported battery state (yet)", even though it likely has, since the headset reads the percentage aloud, and shows it on the iPhone. Maybe the packet is sent so early in the process that Akku misses it?

Often, some trixing with enabling/disabling Bluetooth, turning on and of the headset, etc, will make the battery state appear. And when it does, it do seem correct.

@jariz I'm not sure why you closed this. The problem is still there. Akku is a nice program, but it's not really trustworthy when running with the QC35. :-(

Is it too hard to fix? Then please acknowledge this in the documentation that QC35 is not fully supported.

Hi @magicus , I have decided to sunset Akku and wanted to clean up all issues to draw focus on my announcement of this, see #122.
I can't easily add a comment on all issues it seems, so sorry for the confusion.

As for your issue, I recommend upgrading to MacOS Monterey, which will very likely support your headset.

Aha, I see. It's great that this functionally (finally!) is coming to the OS, where it really belongs.

Thank you for Akku; doing what Apple ought to have done, years ahead of them! :)
