I have a Pumpkin 13-RQ0278E-UK (Pumpkin website | Amazon UK). touchscreen car stereo running 2014's Android 5.x (Lollipop).

 

I have around 25 apps on there.

 

Since it's just a car stereo that I use to play music, I don't need any notifications from any apps.

 

The device is not rooted (and won't be, as it's running on Intel's SoFIA platform).

 

Is it possible to disable notifications system-wide on Android 5.1.1 (Lollipop) without going into each app setting individually and turning off notifications?

I don't know about 5.1.1 but can't imagine things being too different, but I found the following

 

Settings > Notificatons > Cog icon > Change/update "On the lock screen" to "Don't show notifications at all"

 

When you say you have a touchscreen running a car stereo, do you mean that you mean that you have a phone/device running a few apps to stream music/radio to the car stereo or is it a built in device?

There is no Notifications sub-menu. I believe that was added in Android 6.x (As 'Sound & notification') but even that sub-menu only allowed you to change the notification sounds.

 

I see nowhere to disable them at once, only by going into each of the roughly 25 apps manually and disabling them there.

    • AMD 25.6.3 driver brings FSR 4 support for GTA V and Monster Hunter Wilds

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      AMD 25.6.3 driver brings FSR 4 support for GTA V and Monster Hunter Wilds by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe AMD's driver team is busy this June. The company just released its third graphics driver of the month, and this one is focused on expanding support for FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) upscaling tech. A handful of bug fixes are included in this release, too. AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.3 optional driver is finally bringing FSR 4 support for Monster Hunter: Wilds, the Capcom-developed action RPG that released earlier this year. The title is well known for its performance issues, so the FSR update should help RX 9000 series owners get more frames without losing too much graphics fidelity. Next, the driver also delivers FSR 4 for Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced. The expanded and enhanced version of the title featuring ray tracing and other features only hit the PC platform a few months ago, and now, latest-generation Radeon graphics users can use the upscaling tech to improve their frame rates. AMD has also fixed an issue with FSR 4 in this release that made the technology not enable properly on a bunch of games. They include DragonKin: The Banished, Blades of Fire, RoadCraft, The Alters, Star Wars Outlaws, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. A Black Myth: WuKong crash on the RX 7650 GRE GPU and a The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered texture corruption issue on the RX 9070 XT have also been resolved in this release. Here are the known issues that AMD is still working on: Stutter may be observed while playing games with some VR headsets at 80Hz or 90Hz refresh rate on some AMD Radeon™ Graphics Products, such as the Radeon™ RX 7000 series. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to change the refresh rate as a temporary workaround. Intermittent system or application crashes may be observed while playing Cyberpunk 2077 on some AMD Radeon™ Graphics Products, such as the Radeon™ RX 7000 series and Radeon™ RX 9000 series. Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Monster Hunter Wilds with Radeon™ Anti-Lag and Instant Replay enabled. Stutter may be observed while playing Call of Duty: Warzone Season 03 ‘Verdansk’ map on some AMD Graphics Products. Stutter and lower-than-expected performance may be observed while playing 4K resolution YouTube videos in Chrome. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to play videos in full screen as a temporary workaround. The new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.6.3 optional update is now available for download from the AMD Software app as well as AMD's own changelog page for the driver.

      So, basically, Windows 11 is the 'new Windows 7 'cause everyone's ignoring it? Guess my Windows 10 machine and I will just live happily ever after in our secure, familiar bubble... until four months from now. Then we'll figure it out. Probably.

      Are you sure you are not mis-understanding a use case for Windows 11 where it fails? Your experience does not negate another user's dislike of something. I.E. don't be dismissive just because you haven't experienced something they have. That makes you look bad.

      How about linking network storage and or external storage and then Explorer becomes a game of waiting and waiting and waiting. Windows 10 was not nearly this bad at that task.
