• Recently bought a laptop computer; A few questions about the offer Upgrade to Windows 8

  I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

  (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
  (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
  (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
  (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
  Thank you very much!

• A few questions about the use of data and Cliq

  I have the cliq, however I chose to not get 3G (so I bought full fare). So I have a few questions about the phone and the use of 3G / 2 G/Edge:

  1 - is possible to disable completely the 2G / 3 G/Edge? I know you can switch between them, but are anyway just tell the phone to stop using them altogether since I'm not subbed to the service?

  2. when the update takes place, I guess we'll have to reconnect motoblur and etc, but if I don't have 3 G will I have motoblur connection problems after the update? Or he keeps the latest wifi settings so that it would connect to wifi to connect. When I first got my phone it was not a problem b/c I had 3G for the first month.

  I hope that makes sense, thanks!

  To stop all the data, I would like to download an application called APNDroid. He cut them all down. When you log on to blur you have 3G or WIFI doe this without getting a timeout error. During the process of setting up your Blur account, you can press the menu button and set up your wifi to work, this will connect you to Blur and your phone will be connected to the blur. If I were you I would be rethinking to do a data plan since you are really losing out on most of your main features of phones. It's your choice, however.

• a few questions of the use of image previews

  Here are a few questions.

  1 Overview of the image created by "option of previews of 1:1, which is used in the module?

  2. If I create "1:1 previews and, 'Insights into Standard' is not created & used?

  3. If 'Standard previews' is generated and used, it will be used for any purpose?

  4. I know that Lightroom uses the Adobe RGB in the library module and the use of Melissa RGB in the develop module.

  then ' 1:1 previews are produced by two types?

  If it is not two kinds, color previews space is not specified, preview image is shown color space of image rendering applied in each module?

  Internal preview of Lightroom image handling is difficult for me.

  Previews are displayed in the library modules map, book, slideshow, print and Web with Adobe RGB

  Previews are shown to develop using Pro Photo RGB. 1:1 previews are used to zoom in with, for example in the development of control and sharpness.

  You can limit the size of the cache of previews, if you prefer.

  Reach:

  Edit > catalog settings > file manipulation

  You can choose to ignore the insights 1:1 for example, after 30 days, or never.

  In Ligtroom the working color spaces have been set by default. But you can choose a different color to export space. For example:

  sRGB for display on the web accessories or email

  AdobeRGB for some printers

  ProPhoto RGB for some equipment top of the range, but only with 16 bit images

  A specific profile for printing

  Windows 8 uses the same drivers as Pro

  Hello

  Here, a few questions about the number:

  (1) usually, you should get the Vista Toshiba Recovery DVD. If you didn t receive this DVD then you can order it here https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or you could install the disc of Microsoft Vista.

  (2) of course, you can do this. I think that Win XP drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

  (3) Yes, you can upgrade the RAM. For more information, see your manual or search on this forum for similar topics

  (4) maybe it s associated with the graphics driver. Check if you can update. I would recommend additional check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS

• A few questions on Satellite P100-188

  Hi, I have a few questions about my new machine I bought recently so please bare with me during their reading...

  (1) I already owned the P30-145 and the sound was superb. The P100-188 is supposed to have the HD + sound stronger. I don't think so... This thing is much quieter and more slender compared to my previous machine!

  (2) the Nvidia badge sticker is missing inside! Normally I would not be embarrassed, but there is a small indentation carved especially for her with nothing on it! - and so a strange look.

  (3) in the bios, there is an option to change the amount of "fan noise" makes the machine. I've set it to 'performance', which is the option to forget noise and go full steam ahead. However, the fan harldy lights! Every now and then, he gives a quick 2 second air burst.

  The other day, I was playing the new game 'fear' that works amazingly I would say. But STILL the fan doesn't seem to turn on a large part. I worry a little bit, I must say.

  If anyone has read the lot of this right, thank you. Also could you please answer if you had similar problems with yous P100s.

  Thank you

  Hello

  1. as far as I know this unit P100 speakers are placed under the keyboard.
  On other units, the speakers are placed above the keyboard. If you use the keyboard it of possible you hands cover the speakers. It is also possible that the volume of the speaker is a little lower because of the miniaturization of portable. However, you cannot compare different notebooks series because strains have another advantage than the other series.

  2 I read your first assignment on the missing sticker and I can t believe that such thing is a really a problem for your. I'm don't know if all the P100 was delivered with or without the sticker, but you can contact the dealer where you purchased this device and ask him a label. However, my laptop has not even a sticker, and it's not a problem for me.

  3 if the fan is set to performance so that means that CPU notebooks will run with a full performance, which is possible. In this case the CPU is going to produce a lot of heat and the cooling module must run with maximum performance to cool the CPU and decrease the temperature. If temperature decreases the arrested fan or run with low performance. It is a simple fact.

• A few questions re W4 820

  Hello...

  New user here just got the Acer Iconia W4-820 and love. Have a few questions

  Yes, the Evo would be a better deal if you plan to use in the W4. This is probably what I would have bought if the Pro has not been for sale when I got it.

• A few questions that I need some help to answer to. (Sony Xperia z5 Premium)

  Greetings from Norway!

  Just bought a Sony Xperia z5 Premium, coming from a LG G3. (What is a fantastic phone)

  I'm enjoying my first Sony phone (I had HTC, Samsung, LG), and I'm liking it a lot.
  But I have a few questions.

  How to pass the soft keys around so that the previous button is on the right side of the phone? If this isn't a feature, it must certainly be.

  How can I activate vibrating it on the keyboard when I press a letter?

  So far, that's all I had. I don't know that I'll have more questions, more I use the phone.

  Thanks in advance.

  -Voltagetweak

  Related to the keys, it is not possible by default switching. You could look for a 3rd party launcher.

  And on the vibration press button activation, go to language settings and keyboard input-xperia rational and entry.

  -J' like the album moments, but sometimes the timestamp is wrong (as it is set incorrectly in the devices, like a relfex), is it possible to change it so that the order of the photo is good?
  -Photo can manage the raw file? If this isn't the case, you have an application for mac that you advice so that it works with icloud as well?

  Thanks to you all!

• A few questions about recovery on P100-400

  Good evening everyone,

  I have a few questions on the recovery of my laptop...

  So I thought that if the only way to clean my entire drive is to use the recovery DVDs?
  I ask this question because I think the computer becomes too 'heavy' applications, with which he came. So I was wondering if I can format the hard drive rather than get it back.

  If I format the drive I lose warranty? Is there any future problem with genuine software?
  It is possible to install Windows XP Pro (and not the real windows xp media center) with the original operating system product key?

  Thank you.
  Best regards.

  Hello

  I'll try to give you some answers and I hope this will help you.

  I don't understand what you mean I can format the hard use rather than retrieve it but you can follow: install OS using delivered support recovery and after having done this remove all applications, you do not need. After that it maybe your laptop won't be heavy more.

  > If I format the drive I lose warranty?

  > Are there any future problem with genuine software?
  I don't know what you mean exactly

  N ° something like this is not possible. Product key belongs to the livery and pre-installed with the OS.

• Satellite L650-11R - a few questions about this

  Hello there :-)

  I have a few questions about my new L650.

  I've never had Toshiba notebook before so I apologize if some of these "quirks" are actually quite normal on this laptop. I really want to hear the views of other users L650.

  1)
  First of all, by the time I turned it on I saw gradient thin (1-2 mm) along the right edge of the screen that goes from the bottom up. Maybe "degraded" isn't the right word, but it seems that since two or three pixels are kind of discoloration or lose brightness/sharpness to the edge along the straight bezel. It is not really that visible, looks like the colors are desaturated a bit here or brightness is a bit lacking. He can be seen everywhere (bios or no color in Windows, but better in the lighter background).
  The left side (or other) seems ok, all this along the right edge is somewhat suspicious. If one can compare? I don't know if it's something to worry about or is just supposed to be like that.

  2)
  The other thing I noticed heating of the processor (Intel i3 330M) and GPU (ATi Mobility Radeon 5650). It's pretty hot here right now (I would say that the temperature is around 28 degrees Celsius when using cell phones). He is sitting on the hard surface (table) and nothing is blocking the vents.
  However, at "rest" (surf the web & regular light stuff), average CPU temp hovers around 58 ° C. It usually goes from 45 to 62 in just a few minutes after starting, and then I can hear and see (Toshiba PC Health Monitor) evacuate the kicks in. Temp goes back to 50 +, event stops and then the temp rises to 60 + until the vent is used again.
  During load full (Prime95 or some games), CPU is going all the way up to 75 degrees (the highest being 77). Fan runs at 75 to 77% during this time, never go faster.

  GPU idling is usually around 5 degrees above temp CPU (62-65). During full load (for example. Benchmark of Far Cry 2), I see a lot of stuttering with the latest drivers Catalyst and DX10 (not sure if the stuttering has something to do with heat), otherwise it is ok (no artifacts or anything like that). Temp of GPU during the loading goes up to 74-75, fan speed is locked at 30%, the frequency of the heart 5650 is 450 MHz. left side of the laptop (vent and below) is pretty hot, while the keyboard is warm (or slightly warmer who who).

  These time seems correct and safe in the long term? I'd rather events works all the time (they aren't really very strong) and keeping time less than 50, but there are just wishful pious bios control events and I can't control not the bios. :-)

  3)
  This is just General related products. :-)
  Official specifications of Toshiba L650 say ATi 5650 (between other low range GPU), but I saw a few specifications calling for there 5730 (same model 11R). Is there really a Satellite L650 with ATi 5730 GPU models?

  Sorry for the long post, I tried to include the best possible description that I could do. :-)

  Thank you in advance.

  Thanks for the additional info!
