Hello,

I've been scratching my head for a quite some time and I can't figure it out.

I've installed http://www.osxwifi.com/apple-broadc...-bluetooth-4-0-with-adapter-for-pc-hackintosh into my hackintosh. The card, as probably everybody here knows, should work OOB for most things. Well, it doesn't :)

Making and receiving calls via iPhone doesn't work.
Sending and receiving text messages via iPhone doesn't work.
Handoff/Continuity doesn't work.

The most frustrating thing is that text messages and handoff did work for a short while but stopped for unknown reasons. I didn't test making calls via FaceTime at the time.

I tried the usual things. Logged out/in on both the hackintosh and my iPhone. Tried the CAT tool. I have yet to try logging out of all my iDevices including a MacBook and iPad nearby.
Also, I've noticed that turning off bluetooth causes it to become unresponsive until reboot.

If anyone has some helpful tips, I would be grateful.

Here's some info:
OS: MacOS High Sierra 10.13.1
CPU: Intel i5-3570k at stock speeds

I had the same problem, and I solved when I changed to iMac system definition 17.1. I do not know if you worked and you self.

Thanks for the tip. Sadly it didn't work. With iMac17,1, it boots to black screen (prolly some nvidia issue)

For black screen you can try this Kexts in clover folder. EFI/Clover/kexts/Other. Lilu.kext and NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext
sorry for my English.

I believe you need to either use Pike's board-id to board-ix patch on AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext to resolve the issues with booting to black screen with that system definition or rename GFX0 to GFX1 in DSDT(SSDT) Shouldn't need Lilu.kext and NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext

This issue I think is a problem with macOS not your hardware, it's working for me but I don't have that specific card, so i can't be sure. I'm sure you tried already but i'd say start by checking the preferences of FaceTime and iMessage and making sure they are working in general first.
 
Thanks guys for the help but it looks like the problem got resolved on it's own.

I was playing with iMac17,1 system definition trying to make the video work. After yet another try, I had to boot with old clover config and suddenly all the handoff / iPhone features started working. No idea why - the config is exactly the same I posted above.

It kinda looks like it indeed was more macOS / iCloud problem than clover / hardware.
I won't mark the topic as solved as theres no real solution here. If anything the BCM94360CD card works as advertised - it was iCloud that needed to properly register my hackintosh or something.

Lets hope it'll keep on working.

Thanks
