Bluetooth only partially working BCM94352Z (DW1650)

[RehabMan]

I don't quite know how to proceed with the "CPU PM not implemented" problem.

Ok, so i think i managed to get through the guide. Unfortunately with no discernible difference. I must admit i don't feel confident i am able to distinguish wether or i got it all right. If you would take a look once more i would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

Not sure what "difference" you're expecting or looking for.
But your ioreg shows CPU/IGPU PM working.

Ok, thanks for that info. I apologize if i was unclear. I'm referring to the fact fixing CPU PM problem did not help with my current issues with the bluetooth module. Handoff, mouse pairing and universal clipboard is still not working.

Maybe you have another path/fix i can try?

CPU PM not really expected to fix problem with BT.
Your problem is likely a BT firmware incompatibility.

Ok, thanks for that tip. I know that many have had 100% success with BCM94352Z (DW1650) card so i'm not quite ready to give up on this issue.

Do you know if there is any way to control/change which firmware version is loaded in BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext?

Not really.
As far as BT, some are better than others. Each BCM943252Z tends to come varying BT controllers.

Look at the github source.
Last I checked, we have latest firmware (from station-drivers.com).
You can check your Windows driver properties to see if that is still the case.

Ok, so basically you're saying i shouldn't count on getting it to work?

I simply don't get how my BT Apple Wireless Magic Keyboard is working/pairing flawlessly but i can't even pair my BT MX Master Mouse. Doesn't seem logical to me.

Edit: Tried pairing my Wireless Might Mouse. Also pairs right up and works flawlessly... Tried Pairing my MX Master to my 2011 Macbook Air. No issue what-so-ever. I don't get it...

I'm saying you should not expect perfection with non-native hardware.

Did you check in Windows to see if we have the latest firmware for your BT controller yet?

Ok, it's the first time i've had these kinds of BT issues with any Hackintosh i've built so i assumed i would be fixable.

Unfortunately i'm not dual booting so i don't have access to Windows on the machine.
