valhallen282 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Long term usage update. The machine is working well so far. Bluetooth works with a Magic Mouse perfectly while also being able to transfer files and data to and from other devices simultaneously. However, it does not detect my iPhone for some reason while using AirDrop. Sleep works ok. For the most part. There are two problems I've noticed. The first one is that if the screen shuts off by itself the only way to get the laptop on again is to close and re-open the lid. But there are random times when this will not work and instead only a hard reboot gets the machine going again. But this is rare. The second problem is that sometimes shutting down the laptop it remains in what seems like a "BIOS standby"Fans running at full. Screen off. Keyboard off. system off. This happens once in a blue moon; without reason and I am not able to diagnose it at all. Battery life is impeccable. Between 4-7 hours depending on usage. Four normally while streaming FullHD Netflix. So all-in-all a sweet machine! Question now is SHOULD I update to 10.12.5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 21, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 21, 2017 No issue updating if you're currently running 10.12.4 with no issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abhishekraj Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Can someone help me patch my clover acpi files, please? Whenever I patch the files I get audio but my hack becomes terribly slow. My laptop is dell 3446 (the version @valhallen282 has). Origin.zip from clover is attached. Origin.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abhishekraj Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Thanks everything seems to work now. I am on 10.12.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhallen282 Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 Update - managed to get a MUCH better file for the AR9565 from this thread HERE WiFi works like a dream. Also picks up the device as Built-In. It's a direct drop into Airport Atheros 4 kext. So the stock IO80211Family V1 and V2 Kexts are necessary. Bluetooth works like a charm. Power stepping is perfect. Still having sleep issues but I can live with that. Wondering if I should update to High Sierra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
