Cant turn BT on Qosmio G20-118

Hi.
I dont got a clue whats happening.
I cant use bluetooth and i dont know why.
When i turn it on and click on " bluetooth settings" and "new conection" i got the message saying "bluetooth isnt ready".
I cant click on "device settings" also.
Do i have to configure anything? would be super if anyone could help me.
Susana

Ok lets try and get this sorted!
Have you the BT (BT for bluetooth) symbol on the bottom RHS of the task bar?
If so if you right click on it it should display a list of options incl. Enable BT radio.
If not then you need to locate the Bluetooth Manager program, mine is by Start > All programs > Toshiba > Bluetooth Settings
The program will load but more importantly the icon should appear?
Then do the right click over the icon and enable BT Radio
Hope this works.....others may have an idea and sure they'll help along.

Is Qosmio G20-118 Vista capable?

Hi.
I´m wondering that almost everyone is updating to Vista but my laptop was bought in November of 2005 and has no Vista Capable stick on it.
Despite not having a duo core processor, but a 760M Centrino, if it will run Vista and wich version?
Would it be capable of running Vista Premium?
Even if it´s only Vista lightest version capable..Will the processor get slower and if an update of 1G memory to 2G memory will benefict the machine time?
ps: Oh i have a Qosmio G20-118,Processor 760M Centrino 2G, 1G memory (512+512).
thanks in advance

I really dont understand why you write so stupid comments and sorry if you are not satisfied with my comment. I just try to be realistic. Few my friends have non-Toshiba notebooks and have the same opinion as you have but you must realize that all notebook models will not be supported. I can imagine that in the future you will be able to find some drivers for your Qosmio but probability not in next days.
I have Satellite M70. I have bought this unit last year as you your Qosmio. It is NOT Vista capable notebook but I use Vista over two month now. Sure I can not use some Toshiba specific stuff but I dont care about it.
Many Vista features allow me to use notebook well and I am pretty satisfied. Only problem I have is not enough RAM but it is not important for this discussion.
> I've never heard of software being so 'different' that makes it impossible to run.
Please buy some PC magazines and inform you about Vista and software compatibility before you write here such funny things.

Qosmio G20-118 and Active Sync via bluetooth

I cant make activesync to work when connecting my Pocket PC (With Windows Mobile 2003 second edition) via bluetooth. Can anyone help or post a link to a help page?
Thanks in advance,
Miguel Amaro

Hi
As far as I know the Pocket PC must be in the cradle.
1. "Tap" on start and choose the ActiveSync program
2. Then "tap" on "Tools" and choose "Options" in the ActiveSync Program
3. Check under "Enable synchronization when cradled using" to see if the setting is on Bluetooth
Important: Please remove the Pocket PC from the cradle and then return it to the cradle.
This activates the new setting
Bye

How do I recover my Qosmio G20-118 without loosing data?

Hi there,
I need to recover my system but have quite a lot of data in my D: HDD I would very much like to keep.
In this forum, Gipsyman said that I should be able to use the dvd recovery disc selecting the advanced recovery mode, however there are a lot of options and I have no clue. My HDD are independent i.e. not using the RAID mirroring.
Can you tell me how to recover system formating only HDD C: and leaving data in HDD D:?
Thanks!
Pedro

I would suggest you back up your D drive just in case, whatever you do.
I don't know whether it's because of the raid setup or just my carelessness, but when recovering my G20 in expert mode it wiped both my drives. Luckily I was sensible enough to have copied all the data to an external drive.
I find the default raid option a pain to be honest and would rather it weren't there as personally I'd like to made a ghost image of my system (C) drive but I can't seem to do it as the recovered drive always fails to fully boot. I'm told it might be due to the raid drivers, but don't understand why and symantec have no clue either.

Qosmio G20-115 - cant get to run BIOS update

I have Qosmio G20-115 which I am trying to run a BIOS update on because its not recognising nor charging the battery, its give an error message: The Ac adapter is not connected, or battery power not enough.
What can I do to run the BIOS update successfully or get the laptop to recognize the battery?

If the battery isn't charging, maybe it just needs replacing. Laptop batteries usually go bad after 2 years, depending on usage.

Qosmio G20: Can't read Roco brand DVD+RW disc

I have Roco brand 8x DVR+R and the Q G20 wont recognize the disc. I think it may be due to the Brand Roco since the Sony DVD+RW works fine except I cant save the video from the Sony to my HD.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I have solved this problem using Sonic Record Now!
I was able to copy my DVD using the Sonic Record Now that came with my Qosmio G20 to a Roco Brand DVD +RW. Once I made a copy of the orignal DVD, it did not work until I closed the Record Now and opened my media player. I could open using Real, Windows Media Player and WinDVD. None of these programs could read the DVD prior to recording and they could not format the disc.
Thanks

Qosmio G20-127: Screen blackout after closing the lid on Vista

Hi,
I have Qosmio G20-127 and I've recently installed Vista Ultimate Edition (32-bit). I managed to bring everything to its place (except the magic buttons, but the drivers are not out yet), but I have a problem that is seriously making me reconsider going back to XP MCE.
When I close the lid of my computer the display naturally goes off, but when I open it up again it does not turn on, but it stays black. And I can't make it turn on again no matter what. I have to turn off the entire computer and that is quite impractical.
Funny thing is that after restart for about 20-30 minutes I can open and close the lid normally, but after a little longer work on the computer the same problem occurs.
The problem persists even after I turned off every action remotely connected to closing the lid.
Does anyone have any solution?

Hi J,
thanks for your help but my BIOS update won't install. I get the message "[Error] BIOS Update is not supported OS. Unsupported OS or service pack is installed."
About the powersaver, I didn't install additional powersaver program as I was told it would conflict with Vista's Mobility Center (FranciscoJr's Guide to installing Vista), but all the options regarding closing lid are turned off (Do nothing option).
There are two more new things I observed and might be indicative of the problem, but I don't know what to make of it.
1. When I close the lid I hear 'disconnected device sound'
2. And the screen sometimes comes back if the s-video cable (leading to my tv) is plugged out (usually it was always in coz I use Q20 as a media center as well)
Of course that made me think that it might be a problem in Graphic Card, but I've installed the most recent driver.
So now I'm pretty much clueless as what to do.

Pinnacle installation on Qosmio G20

Im trying to install the pinnacle studio 9 on my Qosmio G20, but when u double click on the setup.exe, the arrow with the hourglass starts turning, it waits about 5 secs, as if the install wizard is about to launch, but then just does nothing. Theres nothing wrong with the install product, as ive just tested it on my other notebook,and works perfect! Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance!

Hi
I hope that you use original product. If you check the content of this CD there is probably many different folders. Are you able to click into any of these folders? Can you see the content of whole CD?
Try also to check task manager and all running processes. Maybe is the some process already started and it will not start second time. Restart the unit and try it again.
The latest solution is pinnacle support. Toshiba has nothing to do with usage of non Toshiba applications.

Qosmio G20-106 cooling system problem

I bought Qosmio G20-106 with XP Media Center and other cool stuff in Vienna a few days ago, and brought it home (Sarajevo, Bosnia&Herzegovina) yesterday and turned it on for the first time. It worked perfectly for first ten hours. After that I constantly get the message about "Cooling system problem" and to repair my notebook, and click OK.
My CPU temperature is 57C most of the time, and it raises up to 70-80C max. I also hear cooling fans running from time to time.
The system sometime slows down, but most of the time it works fine and fast.
Please give me some advice what should i do, cause I cannot take it back to Vienna just for this!
Thank you!

Hello Dario
I am very often on this forum but I have never heard about this problem on Qosmio notebook. I really dont know why this happen. Please check this page http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true .
There you can find an Authorized service partner in Sarajevo. Try to contact them and explain this issue with your Qosmio. I hope that they can help you. If not you must exchange it someday by dealer where you bought it.
If you find out more about this problem please let me know why this happen. I am very interested about that.
Good luck!

Qosmio G20 Vista drivers? Not needed to install Windows Vista

Hello,
I am new at this forum. My name is Francisco and I live in Brazil. I own a Toshiba Qosmio g20_105 and it is running Windows Vista Ultimate EN RTM 6000 without problems.
To do this, you must perform a fresh install of Windows Vista. The drivers for network (Intel PRO100),for audio (Soundmax), for TV (Toshiba PCI Tuner), modem (toshiba modem), Alps pointing device are installed directly from microsoft. You must install Toshiba nvidia display driver, Toshiba Bluetooth (monitor and stack), Toshiba texas flash media driver, toshiba RAID (driver and utilities), toshiba remote control manager and ConfigFree for Windows Vista.
You must have the Toshiba RAID drivers to install from the windows Vista DVD. Otherway, Windows does not recognize Toshiba RAID 0 and RAID 1.
Below some pictures of my G20 Desktop screen:
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen1.jpg
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen2.jpg
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen3.jpg
And here is an example of using deskscapes animated backgrounds with Windows Vista, called dreamscene.
It is in paused mode
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen4.jpg
To perform a fresh install of windows Vista:
Please, download the Toshiba RAID drivers from here:
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/raid.rar
1. Copy the contents of this archive onto a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
2. Insert your Microsoft Windows Vista Edition Bootable DVD.
3. Power on your computer and press F12 to display the boot menu.
4. Choose the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
5. On the first setup screen, choose your language options then press "Next".
6. Press "Install Now".
7. Type in your Product Key then press "Next".
8. Accept the license terms by checking the box then press "Next".
9. When asked "What type of installation do you want", press "Custom (advanced)".
10. When asked "Where do you want to install Windows", make sure your media containing the Toshiba RAID drivers is connected to the computer, then click on "Load Driver".
11. Browse to the location you have copied the RAID drivers to then press "OK".
12. Setup will return to the previous screen, but it will show that you have selected the TOSHIBA RAID driver.
13. Make sure the TOSHIBA RAID driver is selected then press "Next".
14. Continue the installation of Windows Vista as normal.
Now you will need the Toshiba drivers for your Qosmio G20:
See the Device manager info:
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiodrivers1.jpg
Drivers:
1. SD memory controller
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/SD_memory.rar
2. Bluetooth monitor and stack
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/bluetooth_mon.rar
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/bluetooth_stack.rar
3. Nvidia display driver GeForce Go 6600
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/nvidia97.52.rar
4. Texas FlashMedia controller
http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/flasmedia.rar
And finally the Toshiba utilities:
Toshiba Configfree
Toshiba Assist
RAID utilities
Remote control manager
Toshiba SD Memory utilities
That's it...
So I must tell to you that Toshiba Qosmio G20 is Windows Vista Ultimate capable, indeed.
Hope this helps people who need and want to install Windows Vista Aero on their Qosmio G20 machines.

How to connect Qosmio G20 to HD Plasma TV

Hi...I'm so confused!!!!....please can someone advise me......Been reading all the posts on this.....What is the best way to Connect G20-139 running Vista Home to a HD Plasma?????........Can i buy a D-video to HDMI cable (searched the net but not sure on what i'm looking for in a cable...LOL).....any help please....i'm no expert!!!!

Hello Pattayamad,
About your question:
Hi...I'm so confused!!!!....please can someone advise me......Been reading all the posts on this.....What is the best way to Connect G20-139 running Vista Home to a HD Plasma?????........
Right now you will not be able to connect your Qosmio g20 to a high definition TV. Not because the Qosmio, but because you are running Windows Vista on it. The actual nvidia drivers are not working properly to enable the Scan progressive output to your Plasma TV. You can use only the Svideo output, which is not so good. Lets wait for the new graphic drivers for the geforce go6600.
Can i buy a D-video to HDMI cable (searched the net but not sure on what i'm looking for in a cable...LOL).....any help please....i'm no expert!!!!
No, there is not a D-video to HDMI available. You can use the D-video to component cable (red, green and blue RCAs) or you can buy the SCART adapter to component, and use the cable supplied with your notebook (D-video to SCART) with this adapter.
but , if you want to output Scan progressive resolutions with the video component cable, you must use the windows media Center 2005 OS. Not working with Vista.

I have ios 7 and lately when im turning off cellular data for some apps when i leave settings and go back in they have turned on back again by themselves. It appears as if i cant turn off cellular data for the apps i want. Any tips?

I have ios 7 and lately when i go to settings-cellular and try to turn off cellular data for some apps it doesnt work. As i turn off cellular data for one app immideately after i exit settings and re-enter settings cellular data for that same app goes back on again by itself. That happens for most of my apps and is reqlly annoying. Whats more annoying is that when i am not using wifi even though the settings for cellular data for safari or facebook or some other app are turned on (since i cant turn them off as i mentioned) i get the message that cellular data is turned off for this app and i cant use the internet at all on cellular data. I have reset to factory settings and restored from backup and the problem persists. Is there some help or tips you can offer me?

Did you get anywhere with this? I'm considering wiping it and setting it up as a new device.

My lock screen button is not working and i turned off my iphone with assistive touch. Now i cant turn my phone back on!

I used assistive touch to turn off my iphone, because my lock screen button is not working, so now i cant turn it back on! What i did was, i went to assistive touch, then i held down the lock screen button to turn it off. Now i can't turn it back on.

To turn it back on when you use assistive touch, all you have to do is plug your iphone into a charger and it will power back on
