[SOLVED][Toshiba Laptop] Volume Wheel never stops generating events

I have this volume wheel on my laptop which I like to use to control the volume of the audio on my laptop. However I run into a problem:
The Good => Using xev I verified that It does generate keypress and keyrelease events (two different ones for either up or down). I would still have to remap those to XF86VolumeLower and such...
The Bad => Once I turn the wheel I keep getting keypress/keyrelease events continously even after I've stopped turning it...
The Ugly = > this makes it completely not usable.
Anyone seen this problem before? I googled around, most people seemed to have a problem getting events from volume wheels...
Edit:
Sorry for editing such an old post. This got fixed in udev-159-1.

I'm still having this issue running the latest kernel and xorg. Since the event seems to be reported by xorg, would this most likely be a xorg bug or misconfiguration (and such should I report it as a bug to xorg)?

Little wheel never stops

I
During the whole day, when i'm on the main menu of my iphone the little white "wheel" is running over and over. Just never stops. But when i go in an app, it immediatly disapears...It looks like i'm downloading something but nothing is allowed to run on backyard on my settings and nothing is updating...
Someone has an explanation? Sorry for my english I'm a french guy!
Thanks to you!

Try this
Boot holding down Apple/S and don't let go until you see scrolling text.
When that stops and you see a root#: prompt enter
*fsck -fy*
Let it run through all the checks and repairs.
If it fails first time, at any time, or finds and fixes a fault - run the command again and keep doing so (some fixes can take several passes) until it says "Appears to be OK" then enter
reboot

[SOLVED] Volume Wheel on Laptop Not Working

Hello everyone, installed arch for the first time a couple days ago and have pretty much everything setup to the way I like. However, I can't seem to find how to get my laptop's volume wheel to work. Sliding the wheel simply doesn't do anything.
I've looked around on the wikis and haven't been able to find anything.

Firefox (latest and greatest) has been giving me synaptics scroll wheel errors. It has worked fine up until 3 days ago. I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit). Have tried it on other browsers, and works as it should. The last add-on i installed for Firefox was "Fox Filter" so my kids couldn't accidentally stumble onto sites of immoral tastes. I can't see why that would have any effect, but it was the last update/add-on i installed to the browser, but even then,.......it was working fine for a week and a half afterwards until now. Please help.

Hello Steve.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
If you detect a faulty add-on, you should contact its author for support. You can also search for alternatives. Site filters are relatively common in the add-ons gallery: [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org].

My ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop. The ipod touch starts charging then stops. This keeps continuing. Please help.

my ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop or itunes. Its not being shown on my computer and its not shown as 'unspecified' in the 'devices window'. The ipod touch starts charging then stops this keeps continuing like a ongoing circle. Please help.
I have tried on my family members laptop and its seems to be picking up. So the ipod or the usb wire is not the issue.
I have tried everything from reinstalling itunes and updating windows.
I have tried the diagnostics test and its still says the ipod cannot be found.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

[SOLVED] how do i get laptop volume control to function?

On my toshiba laptop, my sound "works" however the rotary volume control at front of the laptop does not affect the volume. When I turn it the volume bar appears on the display but nothing happens. This used to work but I have been "playing" with my arch system to try and gain knowledge of arch et.al and now I have broke something and cannot remember how to revert back.
I am running kdemod(4.2). SystemSettings->Multimedia shows four "cards":
HDA Intel ALC268 (analog)
HDA Intel ALC268 (digital)

p.s. I can only get sound of the Analog device. The "test" button doesnt do anything with the other devices selected.

Having problem with appletv iTunes Radio. Music stops, get spinning wheel, never restarts. If I switch to another station it plays immediately, but it too sometimes stops for the same reason. Wait for 10 minutes for it to restart, then switch stations again. I've tested my download speed when it happens it's fine.

What was the connection speed when you tested
Make sure DNS is set to automatic
Reboot ATV and router
If on wifi try ethernet

Toshiba Laptop Stopped Recognizing Nano

I have two laptops both running windows 7. One laptop still reads and syncs nano, the other stopped. This is an ipod Nano multi-touch. Recently, the Toshiba laptop had the motherboard replaced. This is when it stopped responding to the nano when I plug it in via usb. Absolutely nothing happens. No error, no funny logo on the nano, it's like nothing was plugged in to the laptop. The nano and laptop just look at each other like "what?" My first thought is it needs drivers cuz that's how pc's work. Eveyrthing is about drivers. Other devices are recognized when I plug them into usb such as android phone, mouse etc. The nano is also recognized by other computers. Any suggestions?

Recently, the Toshiba laptop had the motherboard replaced.
Check also to make sure that your BIOS and chipset drivers are up to date for the new motherboard. (Toshiba USB connections to Apple devices can be a little cranky if they aren't up-to-date, although it's not as common an issue as it used to be.)
If no joy there, the following (old) document might also be worth a try:

Volume wheel on Toshiba Portege M700-S7005X doesn't work

I had to reinstall windows on my computer, and everything works perfect, except for the fact that my volume wheel no longer does anything. I have to adjust volume using the system slider. Anyone know how to get my wheel working again? Thanks!
-Daniel

Thanks for your answers so far.
@Xaver:
No I have win 7 clean install (instead of Vista), which is the reason I tried the workaround I linked to.
@nifer:
No yellow bangs in the device manager, and, even more important only one entry called something like "Toshiba virtual modem" under "modem" in the device managaer (I thinkthat the four entrys for the 3g moduldrivers should be under "modem" in the device manager)
- Is it possible to check this powerrail without having to disassemble the whole notebook? Where is the modul located?
@xardas: I think it has, at least the guy who sold me the (used) notebook said so. The model Number begins with ppm70e, which I believe is the specific model of m700. There also is a sticker with a "wireless WAN IMEI" and a number at the backside and a slot for the sim-card behind battery-pack, which both would be very suspicious for a notebook not having a 3G modul.

I been having ploblems with Photoshop generating actions where the wheel will not stop generating

I need help in why only on Mac photoshop will get stuck generating an action and be force to force quit and restart the mac and loose all unsaved work!
This issue only happens with Mac, I have Creative suite 3 on my PC and works great but my Creative suite 4 and now the trial Photoshop CS5 Extended has the same problem.
Example:
1-If I Create a Text and make duplicate layers and select both layers then choose the 3D tool, "New Volume From Layers" the Generating wheel will get stuck rotating generating and not complete the funtion forcing me to force Quit the Mac and loosing all unsaved work.
2- If I try to edit, scale, etc the same happens with the generating wheel getting stuck! This is fustrating and Only happens with Photoshop and not Illustrator, Flash..... on the same Mac. This problem is happening to me and my student friends at Class. Thank God I have my PC and CS3 allowing me to complete assignment but CS3 doesn't have the 3D tool and now is Hell since CS4 and the trial SC5 are on my Mac!!!!!! HELPPPPPPPP Please......

Cloning Toshiba Laptops with sysprep

Hi,
We have many different makes and models of laptops and have a sysprep image which we use for all of them and up till now have had no issues other that having to put drivers in after the laptop has been imaged.
That is until we started purchasing Toshiba laptops!!
After we have imaged the laptop it blue screens with either
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Stop: 0x00000050 (0xF0000223, 0x00000000, 0x806BAF76, 0x00000002)
or a
Stop 0x0000007B
Even after repairing the image it blue screens.
Thus far we have had to build a new image for every model of Toshiba laptop and then image.
Any ideas on how I can get my sysprep image to work?

@crystalreef
What do you wrap the sysprep image in? wim file? ghost file? clonezilla image?
I have had 100% success with sysprep by using wim file method. First I prepare the image with newprep method and capture the image with imagex. When we deploy the image we use either bartPE or winPE 3.1 image from PE boot which uses imagex to install wim file from samba share. In the same PE session it then injects the hdc drivers using fix_hdc.cmd script from that samba share. This is responsible for fixing the 7B errors. Additionally there is a program which I wrote in autoit which detects the model of the machine and pulls the appropriate drivers off the network and puts them in c:\drivers. There is then another routine in mini setup to inject lan drivers and on intial boot another script which goes and installs the drivers from the c:\drivers etc..
Anyway what sysprep method do you use? If you can I recommend to use the newprep method as it does not involve adding any mass storage driver entries to sysprep.inf and is very clean sysprep method. From then I am sure you will never have problems syspreping Toshiba laptops.

Laptop batter does not stop charging

Hello,
I have a new problem. The last two weeks I have been trying to solve a problem with my laptop (Pavilion dv7) battery not wanting to charge when battery had less then 9% life time left. I solved the problem by calibrating the batter again (although still not satisfied; battery does start re-charge when 9% life time is available, but when 6% life time is available it does not).
However now I have another problem. After re-charge the laptop description, it now stops at 99% life time available!! and battery continues on charging, even though it does not need to. In other words the laptop is now never 100% charged and the light on the laptop that indicates the battery is charging remains on.
What can I do to solve this problem??
Regards,
Simon J.

Try to troubleshoot the AC power supply, system board and the battery are functioning correctly. If not,I'd guess there is break in the connection where the whatever it's called that the charger plugs into is soldered to the motherboard of your laptop. There's no good fix. It's a difficult thing to resolder. So you have a broken connection that will sometimes work if things are wiggled around just right. You might find a repair shop that can check the connection and resolder it, a tv repair shop would probably be cheaper than a computer shop. It really sounds like you have a broken connection on the motherboard.
