A question re go71
.
Hi, all: Several years ago I bought the go71 app for my Android smartphone and had no trouble using it, though eventually it got stolen and by the time it was returned to me I'd gotten another phone and forgot about it. Now, recently, I was presented with a gift Samsung tablet (Android too, of course), began to install various apps and remembered go71 so I bought it (again !), installed it and proceeded to test it. I knew in advance that the app is not optimized for tablets and so it uses the big 1920px screen as if it were running on a phone so I wasn't surprised by the XXXL keys, etc. but I've run into a serious usability problem, namely: - go71 comes with the Hp-IL and Math Roms and plenty of configurable RAM, which is great - but it runs incredibly slow, some 10 times slower than the real physical HP-71B (a simple loop from 1 to 100 takes 10 seconds !?) - it seems that it can emulate a multi-line display but it only shows the emulated LCD I've consulted the scarce documentation and it mentions that there are some configuration menus to select the running speed, the multiline display, the amount of RAM, the installed ROMs, and all kind of goodies, but the instructions to access this configuration seem to only apply to smartphones, not tablets, and so I've been unable to access the configuration menus from my tablet go71, which makes the app next to unusable. I've tried everything I could think of but to no avail. I've sent messages to the author but no reply so far, so if any of you have installed go71 on an Android tablet and/or can tell me how to access the configuration menu from my Samsung tablet in order to increase the speed and use the multiline display, I would be very grateful indeed. Thanks in advance for any and all help, much appreciated. Regards. V. . All My Articles & other Materials here: Valentin Albillo's HP Collection |
