Question for you all: Does anyone know a way to pull SMS/Text messages from a phone (android) to pc? I may need to do so for court.

[Aklyon]

I know you can email to text message addresses, assuming you find out what it is, or reply to a email sending you a text from your phone's texting function, but I don't know if you can pull out the messages.

My provider (Verizon) keeps three months of text activity online - when I thought I had to do this I would log in every few months and copy everything to a file on my computer - you may want to see if you can do something similar. Not sure if this would have been admissible in court as I ended up not having to use it.

I haven't tried this but this will export all your sms messages to either a text or csv file.

There are also forensics tools that can directly pull them from the phone. A quick Google search brought this one up. but I'm not sure how difficult they are to use.

They aren't but that one costs money while mine is free.

Huh. I could have sworn the website said it was free. Ick, yeah, do that!

Take screenshots of them in Android or just type them out.

Or copy and paste them in Android from sms and email them to yourself.

[Tellemurius]

Its very simple to copy your sms messages over to somewhere. For to be court admissible, they might require some expert to extract it out though so best check with a lawyer just in case.

Thanks all. Wound up not having to use them.

I recently received my video card back from ASUS for the second time, allegedly having been repaired. This time it runs for a short while, properly, before the screen begins to flicker black every few seconds. This will continue for a while before the card gives out, showing only occasional noise. GPU-Z indicates it's not getting over 50C during this.

I suspect that the card just isn't fixed (there's been an improvement, it used to crash almost immediately) since this computer works great with a similar card I borrowed. I also downloaded the latest appropriate drivers.

However, I'd really like to find out that this is my fault and reparable. Is there any driver/clock setting I may have missed which would result in these symptoms?

i assume sufficient power?

[Sensei]

I havea 550 watt supply. I'm pretty sure that should be more than enough. The card is a radeon HD 7790, Ive tested a 7770 on the same rig and it ran great. The 7790 uses a little more power but not much.

[gimlet]

You really have to look at the 12v rating of the power supply and its connectors, 550w is gonna be right at the margins for a 7790 if it's a no-name PSU.  A real quick google says  an MSI 7790 needs 21A of 12V, make SURE your PSU can supply that to the power connector for the card.  ie it's conceivable that the PSU has enough *total* 12v rating, but it could be split over multiple rails - well worth making sure that's not the case before trying anything harder...

[Lord Shonus]

Equally importantly, the output on cheap psus drops massively after only a few years of use.
