  1st - when watching dvd movies, I observe that when it comes to an image of the sky or clouds, I see dots on the screen. This happens also with you guys? could this be a problem in high definition? Even on the film "nilo" which comes connected to media player... when it comes to an image of an egypsian walk to the horizon on the stones... If you look at the blue sky, the definition is not so good... Why is this?
  Despite this problem watching movies top it s super...
  all what I can change to make it better?

  2nd - I ve tried to watch TV and I can´t. I m Portuguese and have cable TV. from what I ve read the only thing I have to do is conect the cable antenna to the computer with the adapter tv right? It is a message that the signal is weak. can someone help me here?
  and how do I adjust a channel? I Don t see where I can grant automatly or manually!
  (maybe a Portuguese user can help me if West one here)

  3. how to use the bluetooth? my cell phone has bluetooth and when I turn on the bluetooth of the phone and activate the bluetooth of the qosmio one of them recognizes anything. I click on "bluetooth settings" and 'new Connection', and I got a message saying bluetooth is not ready. What should I do?

  Hello

  First of all, you are right. This very nice laptop s. I wish I would have a.
  Good on your problems:

  1.), you should try to change the display resolution. It would be very interesting to know if the black dots remains on the screen. In addition, I put t think that it s a pixel dead issue because you don t have problems if watch you movies.

  2.) have you used a Qosmio Player or a MCE? You should try to start the Qosmio player and try to launch a new search for TV channels. In the manual, you will find a detailed description of a connection and the use of the Q drive

  3.) have you activated the Bluetooth with FN + F8 key combination?
  Please check this post how to use a Bluetooth device:

• Qosmio G20 no longer works after trying to load the SATA driver

  My qosmio g20 was working until I loaded a driver sata intel (f6flpy).
  Now the lights are working but no attempt to access cd or hard disk etc.
  Is there a way I can reverse the procedure or reinstall drivers chipset etc I guess I corrupted?

  Hello

  I think that you have installed a wrong driver!

  The fact is that the Qosmio G20 supports RAID functionality and you must include the RAID driver and not the driver SATA!

  The RAID driver can be found on the European driver Toshiba page!
  Please choose your model of laptop (right series), download the RAID driver, install it instead of driver SATA and follow along with the Windows operating system installation.

  I think this should solve this problem.

  I'd appreciate some feedback from you!

• Qosmio G20-118: System start slowly - restore?

  Hi guys,.

  1 day to another, start windows on my G20-118 has become slower. Windows starts as usual, but all programs related to communication take 2 minutes to start until I can connect to the internet. If I open IE in the meantime it is not yet available for dial-up dialog box until the rest is responsible. Clues?

  I thought about restoring the system but would like to avoid it if possible. If I restore it, however, it will clean completely the two hard disks or can I save files in one of them?

  Thanks for your help.
  Pedro

  Hello

  There are many reasons why the operating system becomes slow.
  Sometimes if many background process runs on the entire operating system then BONES need a bit more to run applications.
  Also a virus or antivirus programs that are running on the operating system could cause such slow performance.
  But as you said earlier that the new installation of the OS could solve these problems.
  If you have 2 partitions on the HARD disk, so all that you back up important files on the second partition, and only the first partition is removed during the installation of the new operating system.
  On the recovery CD, you will find 2 options for recovery.
  Standard and expert mode.

  In expert mode, you can choose the partition where the OS is to be installed.
  Use the 'advanced search' to search for topics on the expert mode recovery procedure

• Qosmio G20-118: Multi drive is not burning DVDs

  Hi guys,.

  This day I have never been able to burn a DVD with music files from itunes (in the form of data) using my G20-118, although I have no problem what to do in my old office. I have tried several different DVDs without success. Everything seems to go smoothly until the last dry when there is an error. I had the same problem that burn DVDs with Sonic. Finally, my drive rarely reads CD of music stored on other computers. It also came with data CD, although rarely.

  Do I have a defective disk? This CD/DVD that you tried and must work on my system?

  Thank you very much!
  Pedro

  Hello

  I don't think it's a compatibility issue with the disks because the player accepts and then displays an error.

  For me, this looks like a bad drive, but perhaps you must first reinstall the driver or the whole system.

• Qosmio G20 - 139 flashing indicator power DC only used

  Qosmio G20 139
  System does not boot, gives a flashing orange DC power indicator only.

  No other indicator.
  Seems to be a code. If I read gives 332
  Battery is fully charged and tried more than one power supply.

  Checked the voltage on the inputs MB seems OK
  Have you tried all the combinations of battery and network combinations but nothing changes.

  Hmm... looks like a hardware problem on the mobo...
  Check the memory sticks.
  Remove one and try to power the unit using a module only.
  You should check both with different combinations means you should check also the two memory slots.

  My computer laptop didn t start because of the defective module.
  However, if this does not help, then you will need contact a local technician because the guy could locate the defective part.
  But I think it could be a motherboard problem, which means that the new Council would be necessary and this can be very expensive.

• Have not been able to get flash since the upgrade to 7.0.1 using the Linux Debian operating system.

  I was not able to get the flash player since the upgrade to FF 7.0.1 on Debian Linux. I followed the instructions in "How do you install the Flash plugin? (https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/installing-flash) several times.

  As I said this is a problem since the last update. I was able to get flash working in earlier versions. Flash works in the Debian version of FF "Iceweasel".

  You are running a version of Firefox 32 bit or a version of Firefox 64 bit-to-bit?

  You must use the same Flash plug-in to make it work (32 bit Flash with 32-bit Firefox).

• Monitoring the memory usage on iOS using the Stats class

  I was check memory usage on an application I'm developing for iOS using Stats class https://github.com/mrdoob/Hi-ReS-Stats ( http://help.adobe.com/en_US/as3/mobile/WS4bebcd66a74275c3-315cd077124319488fd-7fff.html#WS 948100b6829bd5a61637f0a412623fd0543-8000).

  I added the class Stats to my project and redeployed and, Ouch, reported in Stats memory usage ramp upward (quite slowly) even when there is nothing going on in the application (just displaying a loaded bitmap).

  To try to find the question, I created a project with a test class that extends Sprite with just this single call in the constructor: -.

  addChild (New Stats());

  I have deployed to the device to check that he didn't swallow all of memory.

  But I was surprised to observe the use of the memory to crawl upward and upward (to 5) before kicking in some garbage and takes memory down. I left it running and then he slipped once again more than 7.5 this time before being deported back down to just below 3.

  So 2 questions that I would be grateful any feedback/comments/thoughts on related: -.

  1 is this normal (i.e. memory creeping up when there is nothing else than to the Stats in the project)?

  2 - What is the best way to monitor the memory usage in an application? Good enough stats - is Stats itself causing the memory usage?

  All the best guys!

  See also thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4280020#4280020)

  My conclusions are:-

  -If you run an application and let idle, use memory slips gradually upward (probably in memory is used to perform the Calc/refresh the display, etc.)

  -Periodic garbage collection occurs and memory is brought back down

  -This cycle could be more than 5 min.

  Work with your real application and memory will increase and be published much more quickly/regularly.

  -It's probably worth making an initial check running on your desktop computer to smooth out all the initial problems

• How can I recover my Qosmio G20-118 without loss of data?

  Hello

  I need to recover my system but have a lot of data in my HDD D: I want to keep.
  In this forum, Gipsyman said that I should be able to use the dvd recovery disk by selecting the advanced recovery mode, but there are a lot of options and I have no idea. My HARD drive are independent and not not not using RAID mirroring.

  Can you tell me how to recover system formatting only HARD C: drive and leaving the data in the HARD D: drive?

  Thank you!

  Pedro

  Hello

  I agree with Gipsyman.
  You can use the standard mode and expert mode to recover the operating system.
  If you use the expert mode, you should be able to choose the partition or HARD disk where the operating system must be installed.

  Then simply choose the place of installation and start the recovery procedure.
