radeon 7990 on XP... why so dang hard?

As quickly as I can summarize...

Rather frustrated. AMD on its own site, lists drivers that are supposed to support the dual GPU monster on windows xp. I previously assumed the gtx 690 was supported, failing to realize it wasn't. I made a point to look to be sure there were drivers for the 7990, and simply, the catalyst driver download installs everything BUT the video drivers or control panel to operate it accordingly.

AMD customer support seems to be employed exclusively by people with the critical thinking and reading comprehension skills of a senile earthworm, as the only thing they keep parroting is "pls uze windows 10", like that is going to solve the problem.

XP was a good era of gaming for me. I wanted a dual GPU card since I wanted sli (or crossfire), and it would be easier with a dual GPU card than trying to find a matched pair of anything on eBay. And last but not least, I wanted a card that at least had semi competent drivers backing it. Radeon fanboys kept insisting that gcn was it. And yet, here I am with an apparently working card, but can't get it to accept its own drivers in XP.

Arrrgh!o_O

Make phone understand to call automatically

Hello


Im working with my phone+computer as my main tools, and i make around 60 calls from my phone per day, with phonenumbers i get from a webbased system in Google Chrome Browser.


Today i read the numbers and write it manually from the web-based system to my phone.


I was recommended to use a plugin app from crome witch syncs the google crome brower, google account and my phone so i can send the numbers to the phone from the computer, but still i have to pull up the phone and press the green phone (dail icon) to make a call, witch is pretty irritating to do 60 times a day.


So now I have a nut to crack, beucse I really want to skip this part, and improve my work instead, by maybe make my phone to understand and tall automaticity and instantly every time I send a phone nummer from my computer.

Help Huawei M2-801L problem/flash firmware problem

I am having issues with my Huawei M2-801L. I have tried doing a complete reset and everything with no avail.

So basically when I start the tablet, it brings up a white screen, I can't press the home button or anything, I can't swipe on the screen, only thing that works is me pressing the home button to shut it down.

It also keeps rebooting itself.

See image attached.

I tried to flash firmware on to Huawei MediaPad M2-801L.

I have a number of issues:
  • Can't get into device to enable Developer Options, there is a firmware problem not allowing me to do this.
  • I don't have an unlocked bootloader
  • Using fastboot commands to flash device keeps giving me this error: FAILED (remote: 'Command not allowed'). (I have installed Android Studio, and I am doing the commands within the "platform_tools" folder, with the relevant files to flash the device with).
  • I have even tried to install twrp with no avail
I have researched the internet for hours yesterday, trying different methods to try and get my tablet back up and running again. Every method I tried, I seemed to bump into many errors along the way.

I can get into fastboot mode and download mode. I have tried using QFIL, however I don't have a RawProgram and Patch file.

Is there something I'm missing? Can anyone guide me in the right direction if possible?

Thanks in advance!

How to reorder icons on Google TV?

On my new TCL Google TV, the home screen features the icons of streaming services that are pre-loaded at the head of the list--many of them inactive--but I have to scroll to the end of the horizontal row and click "View All" to get to the streaming services I've loaded myself. Not surprisingly, I'd like to put the ones I use most often at the front of the list, but I can't find any way to reorder the icons. Anyone know if this can be done and if so how?

Yes, I can use voice commands, but it's sometimes simpler to click.

What is this app that I can only see in data usage!!!

There is a system app that was showing up and using large amounts of data and after looking it up for specifics, I couldn't find anything other than a lot of recommendations that I should reset my device. Well I did and I no longer saw this system app. Well now all of a sudden it's back lo and behold!!! It shows up as a system app without a name, it simply has a long number designation. Specifically this one is named "15010243" if that helps at all. There will be several instances and different instances will have higher sequential numbers, but there's always one that has large amounts of data while the rest are insignificant amounts.

I've looked all over to try and find out what the friggin HELL this is, I cannot open it to even find out any details. Or force close or anything!!! I'd really love to know wtf this is, and how to get rid of it if need be.

Anyone who could help would be my goddamn hero! Lol!
Thanks for your time

Help Looking for testers for hands-free helper app

Not sure if this is the right place to find testers for an app that facilitates using a a hands-free device connected to your phone.
If you think this app could be useful to you, and are interested in testing it, please send me your email address in a conversation on this forum, and I will add your email address to the closed testers list in Google Play Console.

The app addresses the following problem, which I believe is relevant only for the more modern phones (at least 2020?): The hands-free device cannot dial out when the phone is locked

A recommended approach to addressing this problem is to make your hands-free device to be a trusted device on your phone. Thereafter, whenever you unlock your phone when connected to the device, the phone remains unlocked for several hours as long as the phone stays connected to the hands-free device.

Of course, things don't always work so smoothly. For example, if your phone happens to already be unlocked when it connects to your hands-free device, the phone will automatically lock later on, likely when you are driving.

The app, BtLos, works as follows, and only when the phone is connected to the hands-free device:
-- Gives a certain style beep when becoming locked
-- Gives a different style beep when becoming unlocked

It is convenient to combine BtLos with the fingerprint unlocking feature of your phone, so that you can unlock your phone without looking at the screen -- the BtLos beep tells you when you have succeeded in unlocking the phone.

Help Re-Format SD Card

Nokia 4.2 running Android 11

I fitted an sd card and (by accident) formatted it as internal drive. I have not added any apps or photos since I did it, all I have done is downloaded a Google offline map.

How do I change the format of the sd card so that it can be used for portable storage (external) which I can then use to add files via a pc?

Is anything lost or broken by doing a simple re-format?

Just joined

Just joined the forum. As many people, I belong to several forums to get help with issues and provide help to others where I can. I have a A12 mostly because the 3G support was going away and I do, at times, need a cell phone. I am trying to create a file structure that will allow an app to find a down loaded support file so I've asked for help on this forum on how to create such a structure.

I'm sure as I become more involved with the features of the phone, I'll need more help. Thanks in advance.

File management on A12

I am trying to move a downloaded file on my phone to a specific folder on my A12. The folder is something I am also trying to define and create. The app I'm downloading the file for wants the file to be stored in a structure called: /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/menion.android.whereyougo/files. I've tried to create such a structure but it seems the string is appended to /internal storage/.......... As a result my app doesn't see the file. I am no expert at any level on creating file structures on a cell phone. I'd prefer to do it on my PC but when USB'd the phone to the PC all I see is the phone's name in Windows file manager but no way (or nothing) to edit. There is no structure under that phone name.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Root [SOLVED] How do I root my phone?

Okay so here's what happened. I was running Android version 6.0.1 and I wanted to root it so I went through a bunch of forums to find out what I needed to do and it turns out you can't root Android 6.0.1. Currently I'm running Android version 5 because I got a full image restore .zip file and installed it from my computer. Now I want to know how to root Android 5. I think I saw on some forums that maybe I can downgrade to Android version 4.4, root my phone, and then upgrade to Android 5 again, and I'll still have root?

I am using a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5.

Thank you!

Text Notification Pic

Hello all,

On my old phone contact pics would show up when I got a text. Like the contact picture was where the badge usually is. I loved that!!! I don't remember how I got that. Most likely a 3rd party app. I doubt it's a native setting. If anyone has any ideas, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks, guys!!
