Bluetooth

[makk]

What works?

 

Intel W/BT combo card.

 

Wifi is spotty up and down,

BT no iPhone connection.  Unsupported is what the message reads. 

 

Is there a sure fix here?

 

Reading up on Fenvi Cards Apple version do these work on hacky's for Monterey and Ventura?

It seems Apple is really doing a fine job of reducing the use.

macOS Monterey and above will require native Broadcom cards, more specifically the BCM4360 variants (like Fenvi BCM94360NG) for proper full-fledged native BT dependent features like AirDrop, AirPlay, Handoff, Continuity, Personal Hotspot, Universal Control/Clipboard etc..

 

and yes these cards do work quite well on hackintoshes OOTB (i.e without any additional patches/kexts). Do note that mapping the BT USB port to an internal header (type 255) is still a requirement of course.

I can verify with my Fenvi T-919 Combo Card, FaceTime handoff to iPhone camera works perfectly, no special kexts or setup, works OOB. The handoff to iPhone is automatic whenever the phone is placed near the machine.

@eSaFmay I ask what menu this we're looking at? apology on name eSaF. 

 

Handoff works with iPhone here, but no BT with iPhone

 

Apple has struck.

@aben great news!  

 

Where to get such a card? I assume would need M.2 adapter ?

 

Looks like you're sporting Apple BCM94360CS2

 

Only reason I ask where to get one, is due to the many fonies out there who want bank accounts. trust worthiness.

 

Online is dangerous.

For laptops, your best (and only?) bet would be the Fenvi BCM94360NG - which basically houses a BCM4360 chipset (developed in-house by Fenvi) in an M.2 form factor (no adapter required just PnP)

The drop-down menu within FaceTime in Ventura. Even QuickTime in Ventura comes equipped with these Continuity features that allows selection of iPhone camera and microphone for recording purposes (works through USB as well)

 

NB: Only iPhones introduced in 2018 and later supports the Continuity Camera features in Ventura.

I use the BCM94360NG card as described here.  Note the performance limitations described here.

I prefer 'wired' over any.  even cells.

Also I don't accept this crock of an answer about have to have Fenvi cards. its a no answer.  

 

My Windows connects to My Hacky running on Monterey + Ventura + Big Sur on a Intel BT/ Wifi M.2 tiny card. PCIe mini.

 

Somebody obviously is not seeing with perfect vision, maybe they have third party glasses running around the planet foobar...
