crasti Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Hi, I have problem with Handoff working on Hackintosh. I am logged to iCloud on both devices, but in general settings still I don't have option to switch on Handoff. I found out in my system report that My bluetooth donge doesn't support handoff (highlighted text), but it seems to me that is not true. Hackintosh spec:CPU: Intel i5-6500 3.20GHz 6MBRAM: HyperX 16GB 2133MHz Fury Black CL14 (4x4GB)MBO: MSI B150M MORTARGPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING X 6GBWifi: TP-LINK Archer T6E wireless card PCI-E AC1300BT: ASUS USB-BT400 USB 2.0 Bluetooth v.4.0SMBIOS: iMac17,1 My kexts: Does anybody has solution for this? Thanks in advance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foskvs Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 To enable Handoff/Continuity you need a combo WiFi/BT card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdoormagic Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Similar issue here. Everything was working fine (using a Fenvi WiFi/BT card), then suddenly, some services stopped working. I can't figure out why; only recent change was the latest update to Safari and iTunes. Running 10.13.3 (17D47) and patched Nvidia 104. System Profiler still shows Handoff as Supported and lists the channels used, both in WiFi and Bluetooth.

Do any of the wizards have some magic to share? Thanks I had the same problem and the way it worked for me is: turn off handoff on both hack and iphone and then log out of i cloud on both your hack and your phone and restart both, and log in to i cloud on your hack first and enable handoff, next log in to i cloud on the your phone and then enable handoff. this is how it worked me good luck and next Edited March 17, 2018 by newsman1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdoormagic Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Thanks. I thought I had tried that, but tried again. No go. What did finally work was not fixing the Hack, but fixing the MBP and iPhone. Updating the MBP to High Sierra solved everything. I now have Handoff, Continuity, and all that. Conclusion: OSes must be of the same "family" (High Sierra) to be sure. [I was fine with Sierra on MBP and High Sierra 13.3 on Hack, but 13.3 broke it].
