pokenguyen Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 HANDS OFF/CONTINUITY/AIRDROP FIX HOW-TO For anyone using Yosemite and iOS 8, here's the summary of how to make those new features work. I tested it on some system, please report if it's not working for you.Continuity: Enable you to receive/answer cellular call and SMS from Yosemite. Requirements:- Internet access in same local network with iOS 8 iPhone.- Working iMessage/FaceTime- Enable "iPhone Cellular Calls" in FaceTime preferences. AirDrop Mac-to-Mac: Send files between Mac systems.Requirements:- Working PCI Wifi card, not USB. AirDrop Mac-to-iOS: Send files between Yosemite system and iOS 8 devices. You can check by going to AirDrop in Finder, if you have option AirDrop:Off/Everyone, you're ok. If you only see Airdrop with older Macs, you're not supported.Requirements:- BT 3.0+, I don't have BT 2.0 to test.- Loaded Brcm4360.kext for PCI BROADCOM Wifi card, like BCM4322/43224/43225/4352. You can check the loading kext by running this: kextstat | grep AirPort If you're using BCM4322, you have to remove its device id in AirPortBrcm4331.kext and add it in AirPortBrcm4360.kext. The remaining 3 kexts can be injected by WifiInjector.kext.Or you can use Clover's FakeID/DSDT to fake your Broadcom card to one of id in AirPortBrcm4360.kext. Hands Off: Some cool functions like sharing the current Safari page, Maps location on iOS 8 to Yosemite. You can check if it's available or not by looking for Hands off toggle in System Preferences > General.Requirements: same as AirDrop Mac-to-IOS + the Handoff patch http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/302410-patch-enabling-handoff-for-non-apple-bt4-devices 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokenguyen Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 I don't seem to find this option in FaceTime preferences. Where should it be? My mistake, it's "iPhone Cellular Calls". You have to enable FaceTime on iPhone iOS8 to have this option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wern apfel Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I've interchanged the IDs and enabled handoff, on the laptop all seems to be ok but no button on the iphone 4s settings, is this phone not handoff compatible ? On early dp releases the slider was there, anyone with 4s and working handoff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Works perfect with this WIFI PCI http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WDN4800-Wireless-Express-Low-profile/dp/B007GMPZ0A Nice! Thanks for this information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhaeuser Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Works perfect with this WIFI PCI http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WDN4800-Wireless-Express-Low-profile/dp/B007GMPZ0A Which SMBIOS do you use if I may ask? If I'm not a complete idiot I have the very same card and it doesn't work at all here... well, "at all" is a little over-dramatic as the "Call from iPhone" functionality is somewhat present, however AirDrop Mac-to-iPhone and Handoff are not. Thanks! EDIT: OS X version would be helpful as well as DP7 changed stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agostino9446 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 why i don't see handoff option ?i updated my iphone to ios8 and continuity works perfectly but no handoff and airdrop...i'm on PB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronxteck Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 you have to slide up on the iPhone screen from the bottom and in the airdrop change from contacts to everybody then you will see the iPhone on the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agostino9446 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Already done...but nothing...i don't see nothing v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokenguyen Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Already done...but nothing...i don't see nothing v Do you have enough requirements for Airdrop in #1? Btw, hands off stopped working since DP7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luxinhaus Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 I am still hoping there will be a hack on non-supported device to connect ios8 and OS X. like the terminal hack to enable airdrop on non-supported device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agostino9446 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Do you have enough requirements for Airdrop in #1? Btw, hands off stopped working since DP7 No i have only wificard (tp link wdn4800)and no Bluetooth...do you know a working Bluetooth adapter to enable these functionality ?

mnfesq Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 AirDrop Mac-to-iOS: Send files between Yosemite system and iOS 8 devices. You can check by going to AirDrop in Finder, if you have option AirDrop:Off/Everyone, you're ok. If you only see Airdrop with older Macs, you're not supported. Requirements: - BT 3.0+, I don't have BT 2.0 to test. - Loaded Brcm4360.kext for PCI BROADCOM Wifi card, like BCM4322/43224/43225/4352. You can check the loading kext by running this: kextstat | grep AirPort If you're using BCM4322, you have to remove its device id in AirPortBrcm4331.kext and add it in AirPortBrcm4360.kext. The remaining 3 kexts can be injected by WifiInjector.kext. Or you can use Clover's FakeID/DSDT to fake your Broadcom card to one of id in AirPortBrcm4360.kext. I used a third option for my BCM4322 wifi card, a DSDT patch to my wifi device at _SB/PCI0@0/RP01@1c0000/PXSX@0 Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) { Store (Package (0x12) { "AAPL,slot-name", Buffer (0x08) { "AirPort" }, "device-id", Unicode ("*"), "device_type", Buffer (0x08) { "AirPort" }, "model", Buffer (0x36) { "Broadcom BCM4360 802.11 b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller" }, "subsystem-id", Buffer (0x04) { 0x2B, 0x43, 0x00, 0x00 }, "subsystem-vendor-id", Buffer (0x04) { 0xE4, 0x14, 0x00, 0x00 }, "compatible", Buffer (0x0D) { "pci14e4,43ba" }, "IOName", Buffer (0x0D) { "pci14e4,43ba" }, "name", Buffer (0x0D) { "pci14e4,43ba" } }, Local0) DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0)) Return (Local0) } } This patch just tells the system that pci1434,43ba is a compatible hardware id for my device's ids (14e4,432b). It is the first hardware id listed in the AirPortBrcm4360.kext's info.plist so it uses that kext instead of the AirPortBrcm4331.kext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoYelloW Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 This looks very interresting and promising, im deffo gonna built this into my hackintosh! Hardware question thou, Would a combo of the TP-link TL-WDN480 and a IOgear BT 4.0 adapter be sufficient (most cost efficient i assume) Or do we need hardware like this Apple Branded adapter Probly both will work but i want to be sure edit: i found this card, which seems cheap and neat, but wondering if the bluetooth part will work on this for handoff/continuity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokenguyen Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 I THINK BT is not important, the problem is in Wifi. Can't be sure until Final version is out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
