Portege Z930 - slow Wi - Fi on battery under Linux

Hello

I just bought a Z930 and I run Linux Mint and Windows 7.
I have a problem under Linux that I have on Windows.
When I put my computer on battery, there is a significant signal drop.
Do someone why there is such a problem? We can solve this problem by setting up my network device?

Thanks for your help!

Wifi pilot would need updating, looks like maybe try a Ubuntu Live CD v12 and see how it goes. Ubuntu is very friendly Toshiba.

  • Portege Z930: How to keep the battery alive as long as possible?

    Hello

    Got a Portege Z930 recently, I do not know how to manage the recharge of the battery in order to maintain 'live' as long as possible.

    I'm mainly using computer at home, to leave the battery and then recharge, but I'm not sure it's a good idea. I had an A-200 before satellite, also use it at home and keep connected all the time; After a few years, the battery capacity decreases

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    > after a few years, the battery capacity decreases

    It's nothing unusual after a few years of any battery would start to lose performance.
    Generally speaking after 500 times charge cycles the battery begins to lose clean performance.

    Of course you can remove the battery and could use the laptop only connected to the power adapter, but in this case, the laptop would shut down when making connection interrupted.

    To extend the battery work, you will need to calibrate the battery from time to time.
    To calibrate the battery, you must discharge the battery until it is completely empty. Then connect the power adapter and charge the battery up to full charge. Repeat this procedure two or three times in the line.

  • Portege Z930: The update of the BIOS with LINUX/UNIX OS

    Hello.

    I manage a COMPUTER company, and some of our facilities are portege z930.

    We use Linux as main OS, and in order to use all the disk space, we erased the Windows partition.

    How can I update the BIOS of a Linux operating system? I asked a support company official technichal, and they told me that they use a special live linux CD managed by Toshiba.

    I don't know if I can get this cd somehow live. If this isn't the case, I would like to know how to upgrade our Bios without having to reinstall the Windows operating system.

    Thanks in advance!

    As far as I know on the download page of the BIOS that Toshiba offers the Windows version only. Of way General Linux is not supported.
    Try to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Maybe they can get this special CD.

    By the way: why you didn t prepared machine (BIOS update) before starting to install Linux?

  • Portege Z930 - use of the same fingerprints under 2 different OS?

    Hello

    on my Z930 I use Win 7 64 bit and Win8 64-bit on two different partitions.

    I tried to use the biometric for complete starting and the connection on the two parallel functioning of sytsems, but it does not work.

    If I use my right index finger for Win7, it works. If I try to use the same finger with Win 8, I get the message, that this finger is already used and I can't use it once more.

    Then, I tried to export the foxgloves in Win7 and import it into Win8 - it did not work. I could not import, the system denies.

    I think that the biometric is regardless of the operationg systems in hardware from Toshiba. So far I can't find, how can I assign in Win7 already stored digital to Win8 user?

    There is a workaround to use different fingers for different operating systems-, but it should work more intelligent.

    Kind regards

    > If I use my right index finger for Win7, it works. If I try to use the same finger with Win 8, I get the message, that this finger is already used and I can't use it once more.

    I think you need to use different fingers for Win 7 and Win 8
    In my opinion the reason for this is that you cannot import fingerprints of two different systems: Win 7 to 8 win as two tools seems to be a little different.

    If you have already saved the fingerprints for Win 7 and therefore you cannot use the same finger to win 8.
    I recommend you to use another hand to Win 7 and the other hand to win 8 (IE for Win 7 and right to left to win 8)

  • Portege Z930 - process 'System': high CPU when on battery usage

    I have a Portege Z930.
    A process called 'System' will appear in the Task Manager when I unplug the PC from the AC.

    I would like to know why is - this high utilization of the processor (from 9% to 18%) and keep my time above 70 ° c.
    It is very annoying, not only because of the temperature that hits the PC itself, but also because of the battery, which can not go over 1 hour and 30 minutes because of this process.

    It is not a virus, already CHECKED, don't ask.
    In addition, I don't know when it started, or why, so please don't ask.

    Thanks in advance,
    Nicolas.

    Until we start the discussion can you please tell us if you use the original pre-installed OS that you got with your laptop and use Toshiba eco mode when the laptop is running on battery power?

  • Portege Z30T.-a. -from the battery shows "fair."

    I recently bought a new PORTEGE Z30T-A PT24CE-01600EN5 a few days ago

    It is pre installed Win7 and I upgraded to:
    Microsoft Windows OS Version 8.1 Pro 6.3.9600 with their CDs

    In any case under PC Health monitor battery health shows always fair.
    I just bought it and I'm a little leery because I had TOSHIBA PORTEGE Z930 before and even after a year, he showed for the battery.

    What is a normal situation? Could check you your if you have a similar model?

    A new laptop and I take the battery isn't calibrated correctly and therefore it does not reach the full charge capacity.
    You will need to calibrate the battery charge and discharge until it would be entirely empty.
    Repeat this procedure three four times in the line and then check the status of the PC monitor once more.

  • Portege Z930 - BSOD kernel data by page fault

    Recently (3 days ago) my girlfriend bought Portege Z930, and she becomes BSOD kernel data in error page, randomly (battery or AC).

    Hardware config is: Core i3 Mobile i3-3217U, DDR3 4 GB, HD Graphics 4000, SSD 128 GB
    Software: it didn't install new programs, using the trial version of office, Google chrome and windows 7 64 bit which was pre-installed. Anyone have any idea, what could be the cause of bsod? Preinstalled software from Toshiba? Hardware malfunction?

    Also because off-topic information autonomy point is up to 5 hours (wifi on, light off, bright screen keyboard: 40%)

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem. In my opinion, you should make data backup and install the OS by using HARD drive recovery option.

    After that do what you will have new own preinstalled OS. Test a few days without having to install anything just to see if the error appears again.

    Installation of HARD drive recovery operation, you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  • Portege Z930 - display driver does not work properly

    Hello

    We have a Portege Z930 with Windows 7 64 bit in use where the Intel display driver seem to work fine.

    First problem is the slow presentation on screen - if we open a (simple JPG) photo and move the window, the frame window break during the move and showed very weird.

    Then, we have installed a U3.0 dynadock docking for the use of two external displays more. This method works even worse. To the docking station, we used the driver from the CD supplied in the delivery and connect to a USB 3.0 connector.

    On starting switching on 2 screens instead of internally for computer laptop screen does not work - and we use workaround of using an extended desktop on all 3 displays (2 external and internal display for laptop as the third).

    In Internet Explorer, it should turn off GPU Rendering and use Software Rendering rather because otherwise, we observed critical irregularities on the external screens (with 2 Windows Open the screen froze or could not display Windows Mobile). However the display isn't satisfactioning.

    We have tried 3 different versions of the recommended Driver Intel which is also offered by Toshiba to download; We loaded it is there and also 2 versions more (a more recent, one older) Intel directly.

    So, how can we get this working properly?

    Thanks in advance and best regards,
    N. Cochems

    More importantly. Make sure you have Service Pack 1 installed Win7. New laptops have problems running in win7 RTM (without service pack).

    It seems that Windows uses the standard VGA driver instead of the Intel driver. Uninstall all display drivers from Control Panel-> programs and features and then go to the Toshiba website and install the utility Intel Chipset then the Intel display driver, then go to DisplayLink.com and install the latest DisplayLink driver for the dynadock. The new software v7.xx DisplayLink driver fixes several issues found in v6.xx drivers.

    Verify that the Intel drivers are installed properly in Device Manager.

  • Portege Z930 cannot start with installed RAM module

    My laptop Toshiba Portege Z930-108 has stopped booting with any module of RAM installed in the support.

    If I remove RAM module, laptop computer starts and works fine, but if I install any module of RAM (4 GB 1600 original or a new 4 1600 CL9 or 1600 8 CL11) the computer cannot start.

    The screen stays black and power led flashing two green and two orange and a few seconds later, 3G indicator also on blue.

    This is the only problem I have with this computer, but it's strange.

    I updated the BIOS to the latest version and the problem is not resolved.

    I tried to reset the hardware (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB3B03J90000R01.htm), also I tried to reset the equipment with power button 30 seconds without battery but button without success.

    Any idea on this problem of strage?

    Kind regards
    Lito.

    I guess you used bad RAM or not fully compatible modules.
    It's the only plausible explanation.

    I recommend you to order the RAM modules recommended by Toshiba that are:

    4 GB DDR3 - 1600 PA5037U-1M4G

    2 GB DDR3 - 1600 PA5037U-1M2G

  • Portege Z930 - new Windows 7 and installing the driver

    I have a Toshiba Portege Z930 Ultrabook.

    I don't use it for a while because he was very very slow when navigating or attempt to perform other tasks. I scanned the system with several antivirus (now I have Avast and Fixila, but I also used Kaspersky and Norton) and nothing came.

    Now, I decided to reinstall Windows.
    So, I received a kit of Windows 7 Pro (it's the license granted with the laptop) and I'm fighting for a week to make it work properly.

    Now seems as graphics card does not work, I have most of the hard disk full some old files of windows, etc, etc.

    1. How is the right way to install a new version of windows on this laptop (without the old installation files) and use the accessories available on the laptop (graphics card, fingerprints... tool)

    And YES, I tried all THE drivers available on the Toshiba support successfully section only for the wireless card.

    2. have you had problems with the speed?

    Thank you
    Victor

    Hello

    > Now looks like graphics card does not.

    Does that mean exactly? Graphics card is recognized correctly in the Device Manager?
    In case it is, the driver is installed and works of the GPU.

    What Portege Z930-xxx are you?
    The exact part number might be useful to check the specs of the laptop.

    By the way: the driver / software installation is not very difficult.
    Forget the other Toshiba software if you n t want to install it
    Pick up the pilots only...

    However, some parts of the software as a value-added Package must be installed because this package installs a range of important public services.

  • Portege Z930 - 12 H - update of the BIOS and McAfee Endpoint Encryption?

    The update to the latest BIOS (Ver.6.70) for my laptop Portege Z930 12 H comes with the warning:

    «If you use the BitLocker Windows Drive encryption, please temporarily suspend (or turn off) before BitLocker Drive Encryption updated BIOS.»

    The same caveat applies to McAfee Endpoint Encryption, which is used on my laptop and I can * not * pause or stop? Or can I apply the upgrade of the BIOS safely?

    Thank you.

    As much I know Bitlocker isn't related to Antivirus from McAfee software and two security tools are not connected to each other. BitLocker is a tool for Microsoft Windows and McAfee is a 3rd party software preinstallation on the device.

    I found a nice how doc on the update of the BIOS.

  • Portege Z930-146: BSOD running Win 7 64 bit - support pointers and advice

    Hello

    First post following the latter (academia / business) purchase of a Portege Z930-146 (serial number XC141056H, short PT235E part number).

    Configured the pre-installation software 64 - bit W7, local installed, delivery to the primary user (the boss).

    User reports 3 BSOD in a few days - I have the mini-decharges and made first order analysis using blue-screen display:

    PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA (ntoskrnl.exe)
    SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (dxgkrnl.exe)
    MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (ntoskrnl.exe)

    We really are the guys from UNIX, so it is not familiar territory.

    I just updated the BIOS but now have a long (50 +) list of possible drivers also be updated. One at a time to download and install?

    I ran the diagnostics memory and disk - without errors or warnings that are reported.

    Can someone identify a likely problem, or direct me gently in the direction of the road to official support of Toshiba please or suggest next steps?

    Thank you in advance,

    GLM

    Ntoskrnl.exe is a Microsoft kernel boot and the dxgkrnl.exe seems to have something to do with the chart.

    I recommend to check if the update of the display driver would improve the performance of the system.
    Then visit the Toshiba UE driver page, select the Satellite Z930 PT235E and download the latest display driver Intel.
    Z930-146 was equipped with chip Intel HD Graphics 4000, so you need the Intel driver.

    You can also try to download the driver directly from the Intel page since they always provide the latest version.
