Does anyone get a non-Apple WiFi/BT card working with 2-way Handoff on macOS 12+?

Since Monterey(up to 12.7.2), my DW1830 only works one-way Handoff only from iPhone to MacBook, yet no problem with Facetime/iMessage.

I have been searching and researching every forum/github/reddit... to find a solution.

To note: DW1830 has native Wi-Fi support so not a Wi-Fi chipset issue. BT under System Info shows the chipset as "THIRD_PARTY_DONGLE",  there must be the problem indicator! Although BT has no problem connecting BT mouse even after wake.

PS: The related issue has been noted at https://github.com/acidanthera/bugtracker/issues/1821

 

I wonder if anyone could help me to understand Handoff key requirements/mechanism or

how to diagnose BT via e.g. Console>message board or debug BrcmPatchRAM etc. ? => what/where is blocking sending the copied text to my iPhone?

 

or could anyone tell me a successful implementation of non-Apple WiFi/BT card working with 2-way Handoff on macOS 12+? (which would encourage my further tinkering 🙂😂

e.g. DW1560? DW1820A? DW1830? or even a intel WiFi/BT card?

 

Thanks in advance

------- WIP  ------

It receives constantly the ERR: "sdp attributes is empty".

SDP = Bluetooth Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) cf: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41290114/bluetooth-sdp-where-is-sdpd

does it mean SDP daemon is not started, or the daemon is started yet nothing. How to check if it started and what content inside?

Recently I noticed Apple music not fully playable via external bluetooth speaker, does this also relate to authentic bluetooth card as OP mentioned, or related to DRM like Apple TV even within hackMac?

Update:

replace DW1830 with BCM94360CS2, now 2-way handoff works! WiFi at full speed.

(all WiFi & BT related kexts and config.plist entries redundant/removed)

 

also unlock mac with Apple Watch works.

yet the issue that Apple music is not fully playable(=skipping songs) via external BT speaker, does not resolve, although AM via internal speaker doesn't have this issue.
