Qosmio G20: How to disable/workaround SCMS-T for adiosyn with bluetooth headphones?

Greetings All,
I've recently purchased a set of bluetooth stereo headphones (Creative CB2350) and found that due to the inclusion of SCMS-T copyright protection I cannot audiosync directly to my laptops bluetooth stack (Qosmio G20). The headphones come with an audio jack adapter (bluetooth transmitter), however it runs on a single AAA battery and cannot last more than about an hour; so I need to connect without this.
Is there any way to disable or workaround the requirement for SCMS-T copyright-protection in the latest toshiba bluetooth stack? and if not why not?! I've paid good money for both my Qosmio and my Headphones and I'm quit infuriated at the deliberate inclusion of software/firmware designed specifically to prevent me from using my hardware for legitimate purposes (i.e. what they were designed to do).
Please Help Me,
Lee ([email protected])
PS: Frankly I didn't have much of a problem with DRM technology before this, but now I can see just how irritating and pointless DRM is; compare the number of people who actually use bluetooth devices for pirating (negligable) to the number of bluetooth headphones that do not support SCMS-T (alot if all my google searchs are anything to go by) and you see just how stupid the whole idea of DRM over bluetooth really is.
In my not so humble opinion big corporations like toshiba should railroaded over converluted pap such as SCMS-T as a matter of recourse; the end user doesn't want to spend several years downloading licenses and scouring the web only to find out his/her hardware is utterly useless. (sorry for the rant but that is how I feel).

Hy there deepblue,
Thanks for responding again.
Initially I had thought that the adapter/transmitter failed due to a dead battery, although I have since confirmed that the battery is not dead, in fact the adapter works fine (at least for a time). It would seem that the adapter simply shuts down at random intervals (it has happened a few times now) and I can't figure out for the life of me why; the adapter is designed to switch-off after 2 minutes of inactivity although each time it (randomly) switches off I have been recieving audio so perhaps there is something wrong with the auto switch-off function? or perhaps the batteries are in the process of dying?
I have can't recall seeing an estimate of battery lifetime for the adapter on the creative product website (that is not to say there isn't one) but the headset has an estimated continuous runtime of up to 8 hours (on its 2xAAA batteries) so I would assume that the adapter can last at least as long (on its 1xAAA battery); if not this amounts to a major design flaw in my opinion. Sadly the adapter doesn't come with an AC adapter, it is only little itself and I assume it would require one heck of a transformer. ;)
Bah, I'll try and get the blasted thing to work reliably over the next week or so and if I have no luck creative can sort it out. It would still be nice to use my headset without the aid of the audio jack, seeing that headset logo on my bluetooth 'radar' screen is a bit of a tease. ;)
Incidentally I have been probing furiously to find a set of bluetooth headphones which support SCMS-T and it would seem there is only one set on the market (by bluetake) and what's more it would seem that the SCMS-T is specifically designed to degrade sound quality (don't know to what extent but regardless this seems like 1 step forward followed by 5 steps back to me) which would seem incompatible with any bluetooth consumer audio products - Toshiba me thinks it is time to lock the proponents of SCMS-T in a cupboard somewhere and get to work on bluetooth stack v5.0. ;)

    How to disable the vibration feature for the Alarm?

    Hi guys , because we have no answer to our issue how to take off the vibration when alarm is on , and our other profiles like ringtones, messages , reminders and so on we need to keep them on vibrate mode , the best solution is to install a free application from store called "alarmed " ; I did put it down on my phone and now i can use the alarm clock without any vibration at all ! That's the answer to our issue , before Apple is going to find a solution !
    Personally , I don't think is going to be fix it soon , as long as the apple script made for pop ups is general one !
    Good luck everyone

  • How to Restrict Single Delivery Date for PO with Multiple Line Items

    Dear Experts,
    How to Restrict Single Delivery Date for PO with Multiple Line Items.
    System needs to through Error Message if User Inputs Different Delivery Dates for PO with Multiple Line Items in ME21N Tcode.
    Can we achive this by Some Enhancement in SAP or Not ???
    If so how to do it.
    Any Inputs is highly appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Selvakumar. M

    Hi Selvakumar,
    we can resrict the PO to have a single delivery date in all the line items by means of giving a error message or overwiting the delivery date keyed/determined in the line item.
    You can use the BADI -> ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST. In which you need to implement the method PROCESS_SCHEDULE.
    (for technical aid - This method will be called for each and every PO line item, From the imporing parameter im_schedule we can get all the details of current PO line, even we can change the data in the current PO line. )

  • How does one transfer CS5 actions for use with CS6?

    CS6 installation, which was uneventful, has transferred none of my actions from my copy of CS5. The CS5 actions are located in the actions folder of the APPLICATION/PHOTOSHOP CS5/PRESETS/ACTIONS.  The "actions" folder in application support/adobe in my library is empty, and has always been so.
    Only the CS6 default actions are located in the same folder for CS6.
    I use imac i7, lion.
    Note that i also have CS3 and CS4 on my machine. This due to recent upgrade to CS5 and recent upgrade to LION, and my general paranoia.
    Must i load each action into CS6, one at a time?
    thanks to any and all.
    vince

    Re: how does one transfer CS5 actions for use with CS6?
    On a Mac - There are multiple ways to do this.  I have done them both ways. In order to do this you need to know where you have your actions stored, and you can move them all at once if you have them stored in the same location.
    1. You can load an action ONE AT TIME into your actions palette by:
         A. Open up the action palette and click on the little arrow with 4 little horizontal lines next to it on the upper right corner of the actions palette.
         B. Select "Load Actions" and a Finder window will open up and you can search your computer through this window for your actions.
         C. Click on the action from the Finder window then click 'Open' at the bottom right of the finder window.
         D. To save these so that they appear every time you open up your actions palette, go back to the little arrow at the top right of the actions palette and when the drop down window opens- click on 'Save Actions'. It will select the location where the          actions are currently stored as the place to save them. If you want to change that path, you can do it at this time in the little path window.  I just leave it, since I keep all my actions stored in the same file.
    2. TO MOVE MULTIPLE ACTION SETS AT ONCE
         A. Open up CS6 (or CS5) and move the Photoshop workspace it to the right side of your computer screen so you can see your desktop on the left side.
         B. Open up your Finder search window from your dock (the square blue head icon thingy for those who are new to photoshop). Move this to the left side of your screen so you can see the Photoshop work space on the right and the Finder window          on the left. In the Finder window, navigate to the file where all your actions are stored, select all the actions in the file (command+A will select everything in the file if you are actively inside the open file) or you can select multiple files           individually by continuously holding down the command key and clicking on the different actions you want to move.
         C. With the Photoshop workspace visible on the right, and the actions palette open so you can see that the actions actually transferred - In the Finder window, click the selected actions you want to load and drag them over to the Photoshop           workspace.  I did this without an image open, I just dragged them onto the empty workspace.  The actions should all appear immediately in the actions palette that is open.
         D. To save these so that they appear every time you open up your actions palette, go back to the little arrow at the top right of the actions palette and when the drop down window opens click on 'Save Actions'. It will select the location where the           actions are stored as the place to save them. If you want to change that path, you can do it at this time in the little path window.  I just leave it, since I keep all my actions stored in the same file.
    I hope this helps. 
    and I hope there are no typos.

    Hi...
    you have to use the event:
    <b>AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON <FIELD> EVENT.</b>
    u have to give an error message in this event.
    Consider the following <b>Example:</b>
    <b>PARAMETERS : NUMBER TYPE I.
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON NUMBER.
      IF NUMBER = 10.
        MESSAGE 'Number vakue is 10' TYPE 'E'.
      ENDIF.
    START-OF-SELECTION.
      WRITE NUMBER.
    </b>
    in this if u give the value of number = 10, it will not proceed further, if u give some other value other than 10 you will proceed further...
    Execute this program once u will understand....

    You did not buy your iphone from an Apple store.  No Apple employee sold you anything.

  • Qosmio G20: How to get rid of large, green on-screen volume display?

    Hi,
    I have a Qosmio G20 which i bought in Japan last year and have since changed it over to English operating system and drivers. However one thing ive noticed that is different from the Japanese set up is that everytime i adjust the Volume level using the wheel on the right hand side of the laptop, a large green Volume level display comes up on the screen. I want to get rid of this cos it takes up nearly half of the screen. The Japanese version didnt have this problem.
    I checked all the settings in Control Panel and various Properties sections as well but couldnt find anything.
    Any suggestions how to remove it? Any other Qosmio users have this on their screen?
    Thanks.

    OK, here's how the volume bar works in all Media Center (2004-2005) and how to change it :
    Create a .txt file with the following :
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Media Center\VolumeDisplay]
    "Disable"=dword:00000000
    "FontSize"=dword:00000024
    "Color"=dword:00ffffff
    "Timeout"=dword:000003e8
    Don't include the --------
    Now here are what the settings do:
    Disable: (enable or disable the volume bar)
    - 00000000 (bar is shown)
    - 00000001 (bar is hidden)
    FontSize: (decide the font sized used to display the word "volume")
    - 00000024 is font size 36 (it's hexadecimal value), for exemple 00000014 is fontsize 20, etc..
    Color: (the color of the control bar and of the word "volume")
    00ffffff corresponds to white, 00000000 corresponds to black. also hexadecimal.
    If you want an easy way to find out, just check the color you want in HTML:
    If HTML is #00AAFF for exemple, then you need to put value 00FFAA00, or for HTML #556677, the value will be 00776655
    Timeout: (it represent the duration of displaying the volume bar)
    000003e8 corrsponds to 1000 ms = 1 seconde. For exemple, 1,5 second is 000005dc, or 2 second is 000007d0
    So replace accordingly the above with the value that you like, save as "bar.reg" then double click on it and reboot the PC!
    Enjoy, it was quite a hassle to find those keys because they don't exist initially! (and because for each try, I must reboot.. :/ )
    Later,
    Alcahest
    ps: it works on ALL Qosmio machines ;)

  • Qosmio G20 - How do I get the tuner to work?

    Hi There
    I have a Toshiba G20 Qosmio. :) It has windows xp professional installed on it.
    I can access the Qosmio Player (pressing the tv button) when the laptop is off. I get a snowy picture.
    I donnot have a remote. I am from South Africa.
    Can someone help with the following:
    - Do I need a remote to tune to a psecific frequency?
    - If no, how do I tune to a specific frequency without a remote?
    - How do I access the user interface on the Qosmio player?
    - Can the Qosmio player be accessed from Windows?
    - Is there a guide on how to setup and use the Qosmio player? If yes, please provide download link.
    Thanks

    Hi
    How do you want to watch TV?
    What Qosmio player do you have?
    As far as I know the Qosmio Player versions 4.3 and older do not support DVB-T signal.
    Furthermore Im not quite sure if you would be able to receive the TV channels in South Africa if this Qosmio G20 has been released in European country.
    The point is that the internal tuner would not receive the signals due to different PAL/NTSC settings.
    Regarding the channel scanning:
    Please check this thread:
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=25430
    In order to run scan you have to start the Qosmio player, press the F1 key and go into setup.
    There you can do a scan. You dont need the remote control!
    The other fact is that the Qosmio Player is not Windows based applications and you cannot start if from Windows. If Windows is running then you can use the MCE (Media Center) instead of Qosmio player.

  • Qosmio G20: How to get higher screen resolution on external 22" monitor

    I have a Qosmio G20 and today I bought a Samsung 226BW external screen. The Samsung has a max/optimal resolution of 1680x1050px. The Toshiba manual sais the laptop supports an external screen resolution up to 2048x1536 ...
    I have now tried all kinds of settings, but the highest resolution I get on the external monitor is 1440x900 (- same as the laptop).
    1440x900 on the 22" screen is not enough for serious picture editing; it simply looks unsharp.
    What am I doing wrong? I deeply appreciate any answers/feedback; because if 1440x900 is all I can get, I have to take the xternal monitor back to the store ...
    if anyone is so kind !?
    Espen.

    Hi
    The available screen resolution depends on the graphic driver. You cannot choose the favorite resolution of 1680x1050 because the graphic card driver doesnt support it.
    Maybe a graphic driver update could helps.
    By the way; a inf file should be supplied by the monitor manufacture. You can install such file making right click and choosing install.

    I think it may solve my problem. But how to do it??? I need your help from all of you
    Thanks for your support!!!!

    Hi,
    Let's verify your issue. Did you want to disable USB storage device?
    If yes, try this:
    1. If you have not ever already done so, you must connect a USB storage device
    to the computer now, and wait until Windows installs it and displays it in the Computer window with an assigned drive letter, then
    disconnect it.
    2. Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run dialog, type
    regedit, and press Enter.
    3. If prompted by UAC, then click on Yes.
    4. In Registry Editor, navigate to the location below:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\USBSTOR
    5. In the right pane of USBSTOR, double click on Start to modify it.
    6. Type in 4, click on OK.
    7. Close Registry Editor windows.
