My G20 don't have dig/tv.
I use a box for free tv through S-VIDEO.
The images quality is excellent.
I think just the G30 can receive(perhaps...!) the dab-tv.

On a morning woke up and inbox empty of old mails - 100s. Can scan and find some but no idea what happened. First time.

I can send and receive email but on a morning inbox was empty except for items received that night. I can search and find old emails but inbox virtually empty. Never happened before and i certainly did not knowing do anything. Hope someone can help. Thank you

Hey!
I have tried holding down the home and power button countless of times. It doesnt respond at all. Plug my phone to a charger and hold down the power button and my phone switched on. But it said Activation Required and said connect to Itunes. As e screen remains on the connect to Itunes screen, I disconnect the charger from my phone and my phone went dead instantly. My battery is full btw. Tried connecting to Itunes through my Macbook Pro but iTunes doesnt detect my device and the apple logo flashes for about a few seconds on my phone and then disappear and then came back on again. My Iphone has been connected to my laptop for about 30 mins and the apple logo has been coming on and off for 30 minutes now and Itunes has not detect my device yet.
SIGHHH.

Qosmio G20-115: TV Tuner is missing 1 or 2 channels

Hi
Our qosmio g20 tv tuner is missing 1 or 2 channels, I'd understand if it doesn't get the channel with a bad reception on our normal tv but the channel it's missing is one of the clearest one.
I've done the scan twice and still no luck.
We have an antennae on the roof, and its been checked by a proffesional person and came up in perfect order.
Anyone got any ideas on how to solve this issue?

In this forum,I can see a lot of people that have problem with the G20 tv reception.
I can look all the English channels but the quality is very poor.
If you use the G20 as a desktop computer like me,forget the G20 tv tuner and buy a (£35/40) freeview box.
I receive marvelous images from a satellite/free box with a parabolic antenna, via 'S-Video-in port'
and marvelous images too,from a 'freeview terrestrial digital box' with a very normal antenna, via 'Monitor-in port'
If the antenna work fine with digital transmissions that are notoriously more difficult
to receive, it would must to receive fine the analog transmissions and, in my case, it's true for a normal television,
but it's not true with the G20 TV card!
Is possible that you need a 'Scart to phono' adaptor, depend which exit has your top/box.
I can jump from one top/box to another by using the utility:
"All Programs/TOSHIBA/Utilities/Picture Enhancement Utility"
then I click to: 'Monitor input setting' and I can choose: "Monitor-in" or "S-Video-in".
The G20 is a wonderful machine with a wonderful screen, but in my opinion it has a low tv card.

Qosmio G20 - sound and tv tuner drivers (digital)

Hello all,
I recently purchased a Qosmio G20 (490ls) in Japan and have had nothing but problems thus far.
The original OS that came bundled with the computer was Windows XP Home (Japanese). I can not read Japanese but I have an English version of Windows XP MCE so I didn't think this would be an issue.
I could not install it correctly so I handed it over to a tech and he accidently wiped everything (the OS, drivers etc) and I do not have a recovery disk from the original.
Anyways I gave it to a new tech to install and they are almost finished except they are missing 2 drivers --- the sound driver and the tv tuner driver. The European drivers are analog and do not work on the Japanese version, however, it needs digital drivers.
I am in desperate need of a "digital sound driver" and a "digital tv tuner driver", if anyone could help me out or point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated =)
Thank you

Hello Michael
I am very happy that you are there. Maybe you can give us very useful information. I have heard that just TV tuner from Japan can be used in whole world without any standard restriction.
Do you know something about that?
Maybe it is the reason why you can not configure it properly. I am pretty sure that the driver for your unit is designed just for Japanese market and it is possible that our European driver doesnt work properly. Check the driver from US download site

Qosmio G20: Qosmio Player and Tuner FM

I have seen a question about the tuner FM in the Qosmio G20 series (and other notebooks with Qosmio Player). Users have answered that Qosmio Player hasn't the tuner FM! This is wrong!
I have made a manual scan in Qosmio Player using the scan by frequency and it's possible to scan the range of frequency of the FM. So I have found some radio stations that I can save. The resolution is not the best but you can easily find some radio stations!

Hi
I agree with Togan. The units are delivered with different hardware configurations.
Therefore some units support a tuner and are delivered without the tuner.

Qosmio G20: Questions about MCE Recovery CD/DVD

I bought this Qosmio G20 laptop few months back. Its cool. I live in Asia where media centre edition is not launched with this series. I have a Windows XP home edition with this laptop. Can anyone tell me whether its possible for me to format this OS and install MCE on this laptop? And where could I get media centre edition's recovery cd/dvd ? What is the procedure to install Media Centre Edition from recovery cd if I get one? And anyone would like to share their media centre edition recovery cd with me would be great.
pls contact me on this email address [email protected]
Thank you very much (:

Hi
In my opinion the only solution is to install Microsoft WMCE (full version). I dont believe that you will be able to get original recovery DVD because the hardware is bundled with software and you can just order the same if you lose one.
Like I said you can try to install full version but you must be careful because this unit support RAID and you must install RAID driver at the beginning. The Qosmio player should also be installed before you start to install MCE. Please check Qosmio area on this forum and you will find a lot of useful topics about Qosmio G20 installation.
Use also option Advanced search.
Good luck!

How to find Vista drivers for Qosmio G20?

Hi All...
Has anyone managed to get qosmio g20 working correctly with vista drivers yet??? (or even have you managed to find any vista drivers!!!).
Video and sound running in slow-mo... do i need to install monitor drivers ??? (if so where are they??)
Please., please., please., someone help...
Leighster

Well... finally had some joy worth writing about. The 1st version of Vista i installed was an 'Upgrade' from my MCE 2005... the results were that the video and audio played slow (among other problems)... anyway, after much frustration i decided to try a clean install of vista instead of the upgrade. ... ... ... ... ... ... WOW... it worked...video drivers installed, everything works fine (except the Qosmio buttons above the keyboard. NO SLOW_MO AUDIO OR VIDEO :)
Hope this is of some use for others...
(now to find the Vista compatible Qosmio player drivers!!!)

Qosmio G20-139 [UK] Freezing DIGITAL TV

Hello Toshiba,
Have you solved the problem with Freezing Digital Pictures in the UK?
It is driving me crazy!!!
Is it a Toshiba Hybrid DVB-T CARD Problem or a Media Centre one?
And when will Qosmio Player be able to show DIGITAL transmissions, because analoug ones are on the way out here in the UK.
I need answer.
Here's hoping !!!!
cheers
Ogilvie

I've had an update from Toshiba:
"We a currently aware that some users with Qosmio G20/F20 notebook computers are experiencing signal dropping off whilst using the internal DVB-T digital tuner. We have collated data in respect of these users and the issue is currently being worked on by the support team. Customers who receive signal from transmitters in the horizontal polarisation format are currently experiencing these issues. Given your location "CR0" you receive your signal from the Crystal Palace transmitter which broadcasts in this format.
Therefore please be assured that a resolution is being worked towards and I will keep you updated accordingly. "
Fingers crossed that they can sort the problem out with an updated driver, rather than a hardware change !

Qosmio G20-109: First tv channel in white and black, then in colour

Hi,
I bought a Qosmio G20-109 in France one week ago.
It works perfectly except the TV.
When I launch the Tv set, the first channel is in white and black.
If I change the channel, the next ones are in colours.
The drivers are ok;
Have you an idea to fix this problem ?
Thanks a lot;
CoolChris

Hi Chris
Your problem is one country specific problem. It is not easy to say what the problem can be. The only thing that I can suggest you is Manual Channel Programming. Maybe you will able on this way to find a exact frequency of this channel.

Downloading and Installing Tuner driver - Qosmio G20

Excuse my ignorance, but I have downloaded a zip folder from the Toshiba site containing files for installing a tv tuner driver(date last modified 11.24.05) for my Qosmio G20 - 139(PQG21E-01500NEN). The instructions say: '...check the contents of the zip file for installation details', but I cannot find/recognise a file that offers such instructions (there are a few I've clicked on that offer up a warning about opening files, so, being a novice in these things, I chose not to continue).
Can anyone advise me upon what file contains installation instructions, or how I should go about installing this driver?
Thanks in advance for any help given.

Hello Feliks. Thank you for your reply. To try and answer your questions:
1) I am not really sure the TV Tuner must be installed. I, in my innocence, thought it might be an update.
2) Under Device Manager entries (and thank you for telling me where to look!) there is a listing: TOSHIBA PCI DVB-T/Analogue Hybred Tuner.
I am presuming this is the entry that relates to the TV Tuner. I tried updating the driver from there (just out of interest) by entering the path to where the dowloaded driver resides, and the message I got was (paraphrasing) 'No newer version of the driver already installed found'
So, perhaps I've just been leading myself (and those who have tried to help) up the garden path.
Once again, thank you for your help.

Integrated digital TV on Qosmio G20-156

My husband has a Qosmio G20-156.
Can anyone tell me if there is digital TV reception available on this model. I am hoping to get him a DVB-T USB for fathers day, however on looking at the product specification it states that it has digital capability integrated.
I am certain however if his machine did then we would already be hooked up !
Can anyone clarify for me, as I would love this to be a surprise.

Hi
According to the Qosmio specification site the unit was delivered with DVB+T Analog Hybrid TV Tuner and DVB-T Antenna.
I dont know where do you live but the fact is that you cannot receive the digital signals everywhere. The signal must be strong enough to receive the digital channels.

Qosmio G20 Beeping a lot and dimming screen - why?

Occasionally my Qosmio G20 starts beeping a lot and reducing the brightness on the screen.
This happens while it is running on AC power and with the power option set to highest level.
Simoultanesly there are some blue lights above the keyboard that starts blinking.
The only way to stop this behaviour is to press the key below the blinking blue light, and then go to the control panel an manipulate the power settings. To do that, I have to change the brightness, press apply, restore the brightness and press apply again. After that it may work for a long time before the next incident.
I have the latest Windows updates, I have an anti virus installed, and I have spyware removers installed, so I don't think any of those are to be suspected.
Usually this happens while the PC is playing a movie, but occasionaly it happens while I am playing a game or when I use it for work.
Any help will be appreciated.
regards
Olav

Hi
I would recommend to check the Toshiba power saver.
Select your power mode and check the setup action settings.
Please check the Alarm level settings.
You should take a look also on the basic setup. There you can check the screen brightness.
Please be sure that the unit uses the Toshiba power saver schemes in the Windows power options properties.

Qosmio G20 and Windows 7

Hi there,
I've got an old Qosmio G20-115 that uses the RAID controller for the two hard disks. I've tried installing both Windows 7 (RC1) and Windows Vista but I'm always getting stuck at the point of Windows installation detecting the hard drives. After reading various reports from this forum and other sources around the web, I've tried on numerous occassions to get the installation to detect the disks using drivers from various different sources but to no avail.
Is there something more fundamental I'm getting wrong? What should the RAID settings be set to in the BIOS when trying to install an OS? Has anyone managed to get Windows 7 (RC1) working on their G20? Has anyone got some drivers that they've tested and managed to get Vista/Windows 7 onto their G20-115s?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Boarder,
Thanks for your reply. The G20 is old, but the hardware (aside from the RAID controller) is still very generic isn't it? Is there a specific piece that won't work with Windows 7?
List of drivers I've tried so far (both XP & vista)

All to no avail. I've even tried installing Vista but keep getting the exact same issue - none of the drivers seem to pick up the hard drives.
Thanks.

Thank you very much!
I cant believe this little comment has been so helpful!
But yes it is:
I explain, despite my efforts to find, googled it, forums, faqs, etc...
no where it mentionned the manifest.fm file is... INSIDE the .jar!
Your comment "a zip" made me attempt to open it with winrar, and I found a manifest.fm file inside!
So far I was editing the one at the "source" of my project and rebuilding it with netbeans.
I am going to try that now.
Actually.... :( no its mentionning my main class!

Oh and I felt on your comment "dont ask us" as if I was suppose to know... i'm a beginner, I did not know that! And I tried to give you so many infos so you dont lose your time if you want to help, especially as after my own research I found many, many results for this "main class" and I tried a few solutions!
