Vodafone 3 G Broadband SIM question on Portege A600-122
I have a new Toshiba Portégé A600-122 - the version with built in 3G modem. I have downgraded to Windows XP.
I have a sim Vodafone Mobile Comms provided with a USB dongle, I used on a laptop earlier. £15 / month over 18 months, type of transaction.
When I put the fist the Vodafone Sim in the Tosh all was fine and I could surf the net fine and do everything which that needed me. I was happy because I think the Modem in the Tosh is by Erickson (who do not use Vodafone to dongles) and the Wireless Manager I thought that maybe was not a problem!
Unfortunately, something seems to go wrong. I can still connect, but when I look at a Web page, only half is displayed and no amount of waiting see fill. Its logical continuation in the present.
I've updated the Manager wireless version: 5.2.1047.63 and no change. The new version seems to insist that select you a profile. The only one that works is Vodafone UK - contract. Which includes:
Name of Access Point: internet
Username: web
Password: *.
I don't know what is the password - as he came.
As I tell a connection is established, are a few k installs and nothing. I tried to hang my firewall and antivirs package (Kaspersky) but no difference.
Edited to add: I took out the sim card and handed in the Vodafone dongle and tried on another laptop - and everything works fine. If the card Sim and Vodafone seem to work well. I mean I don't know what has changed on the Tosh between work and not - I do not have regulalry use 3 G comms and if his was windeos updated and some programs added - as you do. Don't think I did something weird!
Help everyone!

Hello
You said that you have downgraded this laptop to Win XP.
I guess that Vista was preinstalled everything first, then it would be really interesting to know if this issue would be to appear by using the Vista preinstalled Toshiba.
To be honest, I don't know why only half of the Web page is displayed
Maybe it s not a problem of 3G, but simply the software problem I mean internet browser (IE or firefox) problem

Vodafone 3 G Broadband SIM question on Portege R500
Hello
I try to use a Vodafone 3 G Broadband SIM card in my R500 and with difficulties.
The computer works fine and connects with Orange borrowed and O2 SIMs, so I know that there is nothing wrong with the installation. I also used the Vodafone SIM in its USB modem provided on another PC, so I don't know that works.
However, the Portege refuses to read the Vodafone SIM and an other SIM PAYG they gave me. I just get 'SIM not found. Check the orientation"in the software of Novatel.
Has anyone else had this? I noticed that the Vodafone SIM contacts are very small compared to others. Also the reader Toshiba SIM a "progressive" lines of pins inside - something I've not seen on another phone or modem. Maybe they are not aligned?

Thanks for the info it happy functions

Portégé A600-122: Wireless Manager 5: no Modem Mobile Broadband
I use the Vodafone SIM card in the slot mobile modem of my Portege A600-122. Wireless Manager 5 can't find the modem. Status message: no Modem Mobile broadband. Using Version 5.2.1047.46 driver 5.0.1047.15 with Prof. XP SP3.
Any ideas what could be the problem?
You have the drivers loaded in Device Manager? For example you see all references to F3507g in Device Manager?
Is the message even if you have installed the latest drivers and Wireless Manager 6 http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=3gdownloads

I could use Portege A600 as a mobile phone?
I have a Portege A600-139 with modem built-in mobile broadband. I have already downgraded to xp pro. My wifi, bluetooth works great. I am also able to surf the net using my SIM overboard. Given that my operator offers 3G yet, I not use it. I am able to surf the net by EDGE and also I am able to send and receive SMS using the Portégé A600.
Question:
Since my Portege has a microphone and speaker, I would be able to use as a phone of mobie portege when I am connected to the gsm operator that my sim card is inserted? If the answer is Yes, how would this be?Hello
I think that the answer is not as the card 3G support the audio coding/decoding required to be a cell phone.
The Ericsson 3 G card specifications mention nothing to support normal cell phone calls.

Portege A600-128 - no card detected WiFi and no sound through headphones
Hello
I recently encounter some problem with my portege a600-128. Not illustrated, wireless network adapters a so no wifi detection, more when using headphones, realtek HD audio software detects them being plugged, but no sound is not output - I was wondering if it is a problem with the software, or perhaps of a damage...Re: wifi, I tried to download the driver realtek_wlan_20100225.zip on the site, but nothing has changed. In fact, the single adapter in Device Manager is the adapter broadband toshiba f3507g mobile, and in network connections, I don't see this one. Try to "find the hardware changes" in Device Manager only managed the laptop to realize that my Alps pointing device (touchpad) is not installed (if she always worked and always made)-trying to install tpdrv-20081103180427. ZIP has not changed anything...
Thanks for any help!
Hey Buddy,
Have you checked if the WiFi is enabled by using the FN + F8 key combination? If your laptop is a hardware WLAN switch, it must be defined on IT!
In addition I recommend you load the default settings in the BIOS.On your sound problem, have you tried to update the audio driver?

Portege A600 Webcam software crashes when changing the settings with the sound muted
I have a problem with XP Toshiba factory build for Portege A600 and Portege R600.
If you try to change the sound properties of the Webcam using the Camera Assistant Software with the sound muted, the camera wizard app will hang & Windows fails to shut down or even stop. The only way to stop is pressed the power button until the machine stops.So far, the only solution I can come to is to increase the volume to zero rather than using the mute box. The problem is if you forget and mute rather than turning down and then try to change the sound properties, its "game over." In addition, it is not really satisfactory because politics is to keep the machines muted until the sound is required.
This does not happen with the Vista Build, build it only XP.
My guess is that this will not happen on any machine using the Chicony Webcam & software with the Realtek HD audio but I have not tried on machines enough yet to be sure. So far, I've recreated on two A600s and a R600. The machines are not defective and you can create the problem, "straight out of the box. Just do the following:
(1) use the provided Toshiba product recovery DVD for restore factory Toshiba Windows XP SP2 version
(2) once you have done the whole stuff, mute
(3) open the Camera Assistant Software application & to select Properties
4) click the audio settings tabThat of all, suspended. The Camera Assistant Software version is 1.7.209.0807L which seems to be the last being available for download on the websites of Toshiba.
Someone has encountered this or have any suggestions?

I have a Portege A600 with initially installed Windows Vista.
Due to a non hard drive work, I upgraded my hard drive and my operating system to Windows 7.
Installation went well.
Went on the Toshiba Support Site for drivers and eliminated all of the missing devices.
The Device Manager has more no unknown device. So far so good.
more I installed the fn feature, don't know what was the name of the package.
and more the Wireless Manager.
all the drivers are the latest versions.(1) the Wireless Manager told me after the reboot whenever the modem 3g is deactivatet.
so I activate it via the next reboot rem. I do the same thing. very irritating and annoying.(2) * this is the real problem.* even the modem was found, and I have to type in my code PIN of the SIM Wireless Manager cannot find all of the 3g networks. what I have to do a special configuration in Wireless Manager or elsewhere?
I have freenet as a provider of the Germany.Hi dude

Portege A600 - 15G - incorrect APN is set when using 3 G modem
I encountered a problem with my Portege A600 - 15G:
It has a 3G modem integrated with an installed sim card.When I use the MTS (Russia, 250 01 code network) mobile operator, it uses wrong APN: mts.internet.ru instead of internet.mts.ru.
When I change it manually in the options for Wireless Manager, it works correctly until the laptop restarts.
After the reboot it again uses incorrect APN.I scanned the registry, but did not find "mts.internet.ru". Possibly the Wireless Manager stores NPP in a dll.
Maybe someone had a similar problem? How can I solve this problem?
WBR, Alex.
Hi Alex
Find the ConnectionProfiles.csv file. I'm sure you know what you need to change. :) Reset.
You are using vista or xp?/Nifer

Portege A600-13D - webcam stopped working
Hello
I have a Netbook Toshiba Portege A600-13D old, I am very satisfied with it, but lately the WEBCAM does not work and I have no idea what to do. If I try to activate the camera, I have the answer:
The WEB camera could not been initialized
Systemcontrol is the message:
The camera could not been started, Code 10
If I look at the driver and try to update, the message is:
The optimal driver is already installed
Maybe someone has an idea of what I can do and how to proceed. Sorry my bad English!
Thanks in advance and best regards
gh_1929Hello
Error code 10 means that the device could not start.
This may be related to driver problem (software), but also hardware problem.Let's see if its a software issue: check that I recommend you to uninstall the software for a Chicony webcam first.
As far as I know, you should be able to uninstall the software in the control panel? programs & features.
In the case of the Chicony webcam software is not listed here, go to Device Manager and uninstall the webcam driver which you should find in imaging devices.After the system restart, go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download Chicony webcam software to perform the new installation.
You will probably need to restart the laptop once more to make it work properly.So lets hope that this accelerated procedure would solve your problem of course that if the problem is related to the problem of software.

Hello
I think that your keyboard is faulty.
Connect an external USB keyboard and check if both CTRL would work.
If both work correctly using the external keyboard, then your internal keyboard should be replaced to solve this problem. -
