I have the wifi and bluetooth card however the bluetooth is not working even though the internal usb is plugged in. is there anything i can try to fix this

I read numerous bad reviews and wanted to make sure I was truly making a good decision to trade in through phobio before I ended up doing it so that I don't get screwed out of my money. if anyone has any info or experience with them that would be super helpful!!!

An old iPhone won’t update and I would like to keep the data on it however I only get two options wipe it or update and if we don’t update it the data is lost, drive savers is too expensive is their any other options? 
 

edit: the data on it is photos and other types of files like that however the backup before the update didn’t take and save to the computer to restore to

Yes he does use two separate drives both installed with windows, one for work, one for games, however he installs his games on both so there is no point to what he did. Is there anyway to safely combine them into two users on one operating system so that he can save more storage? 

Edit: yes they are both windows, not even a different OS

I mean, for sidetone the usual option is the behringer MA400 but that relies on a wired analogue connection, I'm not too sure if there's any option without major latency issues for wireless headsets.

is there anyway to change it, there was no latency on my old one

I just bought a corsair virtuoso it is great so far however the sidetone seems to be completely muffled and extraordinarily quiet, My old void pro has super clear sidetone and is amazing. is there anyway to make it less cloudy and less muffled of a sidetone? cause it doesn't seem to be doing its job correctly

Big Sur runs at least as good, if not better than Catalina did for me, if that's anything to go by.

 

Either way, you could always create a backup in case you decide to downgrade to an older version of macOS.

im backing up right now, i cant do a clean install because i share the laptop but theoretically i can still downgrade and restore from back up correct?

If I were to update it would it lag or cause problems with my MacBook pro since it is fairly old at this point its currently on Catalina.

Under 100%? Like 55 or something?

 

If you have low CPU and GPU usage, you have some kind of software problem. If you have high CPU usage and low GPU usage, the CPU is too weak 

I meant it is 100 percent load

Have you checked GPU usage in game? Not surprised if a low clocked 4c/4t CPU is pegged at 100% in that game.

Yeah it is under 100 percent, any way to fix it without a new cpu 

I have an i5 6400 16 gigs of ram and a 1060 6 gig but still get lag on apex even at lowest settings possible. I can’t figure out why?

Then if you aren't wanting to upgrade, just buy a new battery. It'll be cheaper than a new headset.

would it be difficult to replace though

Do you like the headset?

i mean yeah its nice, theres a few things i wish were better but they arent horrible or anything

Should I replace the battery in my void pros, or just wait till they cant hold a charge at all and buy a new headset?

It's normal for steam shortcuts to be url's afaik. You need to have steam open in the background for them to work.

steam is open in the background, this has never happened in the last 6 years of me having steam, and even when steam was closed my short cuts still showed.

All my steam shortcuts turned into .url files and will not launch the games and creating a new shortcut through steam also is not working, i use shortcuts quite frequently and was wondering if there is any solution to this other than going into my 50+ game files to make shortcuts manually.

Edit: it wont let me go in and do it manually it gives me an error when i try to use the shortcut i make, my steam is fully up to date i tried restarting steam and my computer neither has worked.

i have Catalina on a 2012 MBP running perfectly fine, a 2015 is more than capable. 

I saw on the apple forums that people with the 2015 had issues with crashing and such though so I was curious if that would happen

Is it worth it to upgrade on such an old mac, does it make it run slower or is it the same as mojave? mojave runs great so i just don't know how much of a risk it would be to go up to catalina. definitely won't be going to big sure though.

Transfer them to a PC or some other external storage. Even if you were not having problems, willfully having only a singly copy of irreplaceable photos on your smartphone (you know, the single most abused piece of tech) is a very bad horrible moronic  dreadful unfortunate decision, and should be remedied ASAP.  
 

Back up your data, preferably to at least two separate places for stuff you want to keep. Then we can talk phone fixes here. Data recovery is $$$ if, by some small chance, your phone is actually broken. Ask Linus about the hard lesson he’d learned with his company data. 

so far ios 14 beta seems to be way better i havent had any major lag or unresponsiveness like had before im gonna keep it for a few days and see how it goes

If an app is causing it, a factory reset with a fresh slate (no apps to start, adding them back over time) should kill off any potential software issues in one shot. The heat coming from the phone tells me the SoC is working full throttle.
 

If this was a throttling mechanism due to the battery, the heat would be minimal as the SoC would be held back to avoid voltage sag (reducing power consumption and heat at cost to speed), but it isn’t the case here.  Something is forcing the SoC to crank away. 

i would do a factory reset but i have almost 9000 photos on my phone and other things i cant risk losing, i tried to do a reset of all the settings but still nothing happened

Yea that's not normal... my SE first gen is on ios 14 beta and is lag free. Have you tried a factory reset?

im updating to the beta rn to see if it helps, i dont see the point of a factory reset if its a software thing wouldnt me restoring from a backup just cause the same issues?

If you want a jailbreak will help, you can also downgrade to an older version of IOS

Would trying the beta help? What tweaks would make it work?

well, mine is 66%, apple batteries really suck.

I have had an iPhone 6 and a 7 and in both the battery has lasted less than 2 years.

The performance is also crap and the phone overheats constantly, if I try to shoot 4k video the battery lasts percisely 4 minutes and I'm not even exaggerating

So I guess my phone is basically done for now then.... rip
