Satellite P50T-A016. how to disable edge swipe gestures

Hello,
I have Satellite P50T-A016 laptop runing windows 8.1 and I'm attempting to turn off the charm bar. After researching various websites/forums, it appears the charm bar is hardwired into windows and Microsoft provides no option to turn it off directly.
These websites/fourms also suggest disabling edge swipes gestures will indirectly turn-off the charm bar.
After I de-select "control pannel -> mouse -> enable edge swipes" and reboot the laptop, edge swipes are still being detected.
Why is edge switpes still enabled?
How to disable edge swipes?
Regards
Graham

> I have looked at the link. It is address multifinger gestures and sensitivity. I also noticed that the link leaves the "Enable edge swipes" option selected. So I'm not sure how this link helps.
The link and the HowTO helps you to find the touchpad Synaptics settings!
It shows you where to disable or enable settings which would be also related to the touchpad edge swipes.
> Regarding the charm bar, as a desktop mode user of windows I don't use it. The only time I have used it is when I have inadvertently turn it on when I switch between mouse (default), touchpad and touschscreen. It just get in the way even when hot corners are disabled.
Well, buddy you are not alone with this opinion but this is how it works and Microsoft decided to design the Win 8/8.1 system in this way
> When the "Enable edge swipes" option deselected then right-edge gesture on the touchpad no longer triggers the charm bar opening. Great!,
Thats right and this is how it works
> However, the right-edge gesture on the touchscreen is still enabled.
Dont mix touchpad with the touchscreen! The edge swipe settings in touchpad are NOT related to touchscreen!

  • Satellite P50T-A016 DVD turns on perioically when computer is idle

    Hello,
    When the computer is idle, I have noticed that my new Satellite P50T-A016 laptop is DVD drive turns on and checks for a disc is present. I want to prevent this behaviour, however I am unsure if it is OS (windows 8.1) or an installed program. What is triggering this DVD drive activation? How can I identify what is causing this behaviour?
    Regards
    Graham

    Yes, when the TPCH service is disabled/stop, the periodic activation of the DVD drive stops.
    When the "PC Health monitor" application is started, the TPCH service is automatically restarted. Looking at the application, it gives no information about the "health" of DVD drive, yet it checks the DVD drive. Strange. It would be nice for the "PC Health monitor" application to have a setting that can disable the DVD checking.
    Thanks for the information.

  • How to enable Touchpad edge-swipe gestures on Windows 10

    Hello,
    Since Windows 10 no longer has the charms bar, I was wondering if it were possible to assign edge-swipe touchpad gestures on Windows 10.
    I have Control Zone type touchpad on my non-touchscreen HP laptop and it looks extremely ugly when the left and the right of the touchpad is darker gray but has no distinct purpose than the middle part.
    I couldn't find any way to enable edge-swipe gestures in the Control Panel or Settings app. (Maybe there is but I failed to find.)
    Is there any way to have edge-swipe gestures on Windows 10? On tablets, swiping from left if the screen brings up Task View and from right brings up Action Center. The gestures could at least be like that on the touchpad, too.
    Is HP (or Synaptics) planning to release updated drivers for such thing?
    Is there any way to create our own touchpad gestures, perhaps?
    Thank you!

    Problem fixed . For anyone who needs help.
    Go to contol panel>Mouse>Touchpad settings Tab>Touchpad settings
    There you should see 'Palmcheck Enhanced'. Click on the settings button next to it and then turn it to Minimum or Off. Simple thats all.
    No need for installs or reinstalling drivers just follow those steps.

  • Travelling to Canada...how to disable EDGE?

    Heading to Canada for a few days. I plan to do the following to save money but don't have a perfect solution yet for EDGE
    -phone calls - my wife has north america plan from legacy network so all my calls are auto-forwarded to her cell (which is a us number). eats into my minutes but no long distance or roaming
    -for email I will have some wifi access. but how do I disable the edge part so emails don't come in through edge? even if I set the request email frequency to manual or every few hours when I do access them with wifi I have no guarantee that they will not first look to the EDGE network and cost me money. Is there anyway to shut off the phone/edge part so I just have wifi?

    You have to call AT&T and ask them to disable Edge for the time that you'll go, there's no other way. I went to Canada for 5 days, checked some e-mail, some maps, not a big deal, got a bill for $749.00, so I learn my lesson the hard way so you won't have to.

  • Blackberry Curve 8520 how to disable Edge and surf on WIFI only

    Hi,
    Could anybody help me to disable Edge network on vodafone and only phone connects to WIFI when using internet on Blackberry Curve 8520.
    It would be great help!

    Just turn off Mobile network. Uncheck the box. Doing that means you can't make phone calls, though. That's the only way. If they're both on and a wifi connection is present it is supposed to use that first but some say it still uses mobile data sometimes.

  • How to enable triplefinger swipe gesture on Windows 8.1?

    I've tried to modify the about:config section with no success.
    It works only the ALT+TwoFingerGesture to go back and forward on history.
    In explorer I can go back and forward with a three finger swipe gesture, can it be enabled on firefox?

    Due to low use, the Firefox for Metro interface will no longer be released. If you would like to read more about this you can see the [https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2014/03/14/metro/ blog post]
    The three finger swipe may be an add on, but I do not know.

  • Satellite P500-193 - How to disable multimedia panel?

    Hello!
    I've just bought a Toshiba Satellite P500-193. It's great but I've got one problem. During online games and other games my hand sometimes 'click' on the multimedia panel and then the windows media player stars and game is minimazes to system tray :(
    How can I temporary disable this panel? Picture of this panel: http://yfrog.com/87toshibasatellitep50002j

    Hi buddy,
    I have checked my Satellite P500 and it seems that you cant temporary disable these illumination buttons.
    You can completely disable the illumination buttons in BIOS (BIOS setup > Advanced > System Configuration). There is an option called Function Button. You must set it to disabled.
    But Im wondering about this problem, I dont have it while playing games. Alternative you can connect an external keyboard for playing games. :)

  • Satellite C55-B5353 - how to disable touchpad sensor?

    I'm using Windows 8.1 on a Toshiba Satellite C55-B5353. I need to disable the touchpad sensor. It's driving me crazy.
    I never use swipes or touchpad gestures...I rely exclusively on keyboarding and manual use of a mouse. But on this computer, because of the touchpad sensor, I cannot type, keyboard, or use my mouse efficiently. That's because the sensor makes my cursor jump, or causes pages to scroll up and down, etc.
    I've tried using the F5 key and the FN+F9 keys. It doesn't work.
    Can someone please tell me what to do about this problem? I can't get any work done until I find a solution. I don't know if the problem is the Satellite C55-B5353 or Windows 8.1.

    Satellite C55-B5353
    I've tried using the F5 key and the FN+F9 keys.
    It should be either F5 or Fn + F5. See the top of p. 146 in the User's Guide.

  • Satellite U300-152: How to disable Narrator from Ease of Access in Vista?

    Everytime I log on the narrator dialog box shows up automatically. I just try to use this Ease of Access tool in Vista home premium but now I dont want it to be there automatically when windows starts. I went to control panel and go to Ease of Access but there is no button to disable it. Any ideas on how to do it? Thanks in advance.

    I found it and did it. From the control panel, go to Ease of Access Center, then optimal visual display, then uncheck the box where the turn on narrator is checked. Click Apply or Ok. Viola its done. Then if you want it to apply to all users in the notebook, go to administrative settings and tick the box changes apply to all users then save it again.
    .....Uncheck the box also on the turn on narrator inside the ease of access button to disable it when the screen is where you choose to click the users. it is shown below left of the screen.

  • Satellite L450-188 - How to disable ACPI.sys and update BIOS?

    Hi, hoping someone can help me with a slight problem i'm having
    I recently bought a Satellite L450-188 (part number PSLY0E-03K019EN) running Windows 7 64bit
    I use the laptop with a DJ program called Rane Serato Scratch Live, i've been having usb latency issues, getting usb dropouts when I try to use the program on its lowest audio buffer setting (which I expected to be able to do)
    When I contacted the support team at Serato with my problem, they suggested I run a program to check the DPC times on my laptop, when I submitted the report to them, they said ACPI.sys was causing the issue, and suggested I might want to disable it, but i wasn't too confident with doing this.
    The other suggestion was to try and find bios updates for my laptop, but I'm not too clued-up with this sort of thing, and I'm worried I might damage the laptop by maybe installing the wrong thing.
    Can anyone give me any advice on this, as I'm not sure what to do
    thanks
    jim

    Hi jimbob_1,
    Normally ACPI means Advanced Configuration and Power Interface and controls some power saving options.
    So if something is wrong with ACPI.sys file I would recommend reinstalling Windows using Toshiba recovery disk.
    By the way: Are you running preinstalled Windows version or another one?
    As Akuma wrote you can download BIOS update on Toshiba website. http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/ > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
    Your notebook belongs to PSLY0E series, therefore you can download newest BIOS.
    Before you start the BIOS update, close all running programs and extract all files from zip-archive. You start the update as Administrator and connect AC/DC adaptor. Make also sure that battery is fully charged.

    Hi, vazovsky
    To be honest, i have never met such problem. As said Xardas, does it appear running with preinstalled Os settings?
    hi, Xardas
    > dont have any idea what it could be because its not English language. Maybe you can translate it, this would be useful.
    it sounds like, pressing this button you may play film on multimedia player connected to your network,, :)

  • Want to completely DISABLE the 'swipe' gesture (done it before, replacement phone) :( :( :(

    For the love of Pete...can someone tell me HOW to turn off this annoying "swipe" requirement.
    I've turned OFF swipe to wake in the display settings..but if I recall I have to "somewhere else" turn off something else to prevent the situation I now have where I can use my power button to turn the screen on but I STILL have to swipe after that.
    I DON"T WANT TO SWIPE lol...and it's irritating as hell because my friend is set this way..and my phoen WAS but it died on me and was replaced now neither of us can figure out how we did it last time.
    NO MORE SWIPE grrrr

    Are you using a password for your device? .
    If yes, then after hitting the power button, you have to swipe to punch in your code to unlock the device.
    If not, then you don't have to swipe.

  • How to disable the "turn page" event triggered by the scroll/swipe function?

    The problem is as follows.
    The default behaviour of Acrobat Reader (both stand alone and browser plug-in) is to allow scrolling/swiping with the mouse wheel/trackpad. This is useful when the pdf's page length is greater than the screen's own length, because you can read the pdf with no need to distract your attention from the text to the scrollbar button. However, the same scroll/swipe function turns into a usability problem when the pdf is embedded in a html page and the pdf's page length is smaller than the browser's length. In this case, the scroll/swipe turns the page, distracting your attention from the text to the unintended behaviour of the browser. What happens is that you are so used to scrolling/swiping that you did it unintentionally in the pdf's caption area. You really did not want to turn pages in the pdf. Furthermore, if the pdf takes the whole html page, being a website, the scroll/swipe function flips the website pages in ways that neither the reader nor the writer had ever intended. Hence the question. How to disable, in this case, the "turn page" event triggered by the scroll/swipe function? A JavaScript should do, but the SDK documents did not help so far...
