IdeaPad Yoga Windows 8.1 OnScreen keyboard does not stay open

hi
I just bought a new ideapad yoga and upgraded from windows 8 to windows 8.1. Unfortunately, I can't open the onscreen keyboard. After it opens, it immediately closes itself. This problem has also been described here, but wasn't solved:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-tms/ideapad-yoga-13-virtual-keyboard-does...
Is this a known issue? Does this have anything todo with drivers? - What can I do about it?
Thank you!

Anyone got some tips? How can I contact the Lenovo support otherwise?
I am thinking of selling my Lenovo and buying another (definitely non-Lenovo) device. They always have troubles with their drivers (and have poor support)!! Something like that never happened to my Dell notebooks.
Thanks.

Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 Recovery Issues

I'm very disappointed from Lenovo for producing Laptop without complete recovery solution.
I mistakely formated the hard drive of Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13, so I lost the recovery, so I called Contact Centre and they pointed me to Jumbo Electronics Company in Abu Dhabi of which are aotherized to do services for Lenovo. I went to them to save time, and get my laptop back to the initial state of which I bought, instead of getting the original state of how I bought the laptop which was:
1. Windows 8.1 Single Language.
2. All Drivers are Installed.
3. At Start-Up, I should be getting to put in my sync account while it's preparing windows for first use.
I got the following:
1. Windows 8 Single Language installed. (Not 8.1)
2. Drivers are installed.
3. Recovery is supposed to be back.
4. Local User Account "Lenovo" was created.
OK, Skip it, it's fine. I thought about trying to do recovery to make sure of the recovery working before I do back up of it, here is what I got:
1. Windows 8 Single Language Installed (Not 8.1)
2. Not all drivers are installed (For ex. Wireless Driver which is very important for this laptop since no LAN no other connection except wireless)
So I thought they gave me the non-original recovery because of the missing drivers which was not believable to me.
I contacted "Service Centre for IdeaPad Within UAE" ended up telling me that that was the original copy of the Recovery and Yes, it does not Install the Wireless Drivers! And that he himself tried it at his side and confirms it!
Can somebody explain to me how come that I paid for recovery to recover the laptop to the initial state and I did not get the real initial state of the laptop?
How come at the service centre they don't tell me "Warning" about the wireless and that I have to download and back-up the drivers before doing the recovery of the laptop?
How come actually Lenovo produces a laptop with recovery missing drivers?
VERY DISAPPOINTING! VERY ANGRY AT LENOVO! If I CAN RETURN THE LAPTOP AND BUY FROM DIFFERENT BRAND, I WOULD DO SO!
BIOS FEATURES ARE POOR NO BOOTING FROM SD CARD AVAILABLE!
WIRELESS IS POOR IN QUALITY WHILE ITS THE ONLY AND MAIN CONNECTION FOR THE LAPTOP!
Simply you are SELLING half Quality Products, WORST RECOVERY SOLUTIONS EVER! AND EXPENSIVE FOR NOTHING!
VERY DISAPPOINTED AT LENOVO PRODUCTS FROM THE FIRST IMPRESSION OF LENOVO IDEAPAD YOGA 13!

I have the same problem. If I continually power cycle the machine (either via CTRL-ALT-DEL or the switch) combined with either plugging or unplugging it from power I can eventually get it to boot up. No idea how to fix it yet. I noticed that the fan doesnt seem to be running when it doesn't boot and it is almost like it has to "warm up" or something before it will boot to the hard drive. Any fixes would be greatly appreciated.

Install optional driver updates from Windows Update for IdeaPad Yoga 13?

Windows Update on IdeaPad Yoga 13 - Windows 8.1 (64-bit) suggests two optional updates:
Conexant - Audio Device - Conexant SmartAudio HD
10.01.2014
Intel Corporation - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3 - Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
Intel Corporation Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3 software update released in May, 2014
04.06.2014
Should I install those updates or should I keep the original drivers?
The original drivers from Lenovo "Drivers and software" section (http://support.lenovo.com/de_DE/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS032590) seem to be older/outdated:
Conexant Audio Driver for 64-bit Windows
8.65.3.53 10/22/2013
Integrated Graphics Driver for 64-bit Windows
Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
9.17.10.2843 10/23/2012
Intel Video Driver for 64-bit Windows
10.18.10.3282 10/22/2013

Windows Update has now another update for "Intel Corporation Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1" and still no updates on the Lenovo site.
So I tried the the drivers from Windows Update and it seems that every thing is still working fine.

Cannot type in password after awaking, ideapad yoga 2

Any one has met this problem? Is there anyone would provide a solution? Thanks!
I got the new ideapad yoga 2 yesterday. And this happens twice. When I awake the laptop from sleep model. I cannot type in password. The keyboard light turn on, but cannot work anymore. I have to sleep it again, then I can type again.
Why this happened.

There are also reports of touchpad driver issues and since both the keyboard and touchpad run from the legacy PS/2 port it's possible that the problems are related...

Intel Rapid Start on Ideapad Yoga 13

Hi and thanks for reading my message:
i have a problem with the Intel Rapid Start Technology on my Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13:
The IRST is not automatically starting after Boot. The "Intel Rapid Start Technology Service" Service is installed and set to automatic start and it's running without problems but the IRST Manager is still not running (cant's see it in the system tray of the WIndows 8 Desktop Mode). When i run it manually by calling the "Intel Rapid Start Technology Manager" (configuration window pops up), it works fine.
What i try to achieve: because IRST is almost as fast as sleep mode, i would like to use it always instead of sleep mode, so i have set the Timer in the ISRT manager to enable and 0 Minutes. So with the IRST running in the background, it is working to go to IRST Hibernate directly after sleep mode. But when i restart my Yoga, its not working any more
What i tried to do:
Install the IRST 1000 times
Re-Create the hibernate partition (using this manual) (id=D3BFE2DE-3DAF-11DF-BA40-E3A556D89593)
Check ISRT is enabled in BIOS
Do you have any other idea what to do?
Thank you very much for your help and best regards!

Problem with viewing video upload on Ideapad Yoga 11S ultrabook

Hi all, this may be a very basic question as I am not very technical... I have just today started using a Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11S. (It is Windows 8 with basic Office for home and students loaded on.
I've been sent a video quick link via Media Silo I need to watch and make notes from. For some reason, I cannot maximise the video so it fills the IdeaPad screen. The bottom half of it is off screen so I cannot ff or rw or use the slide to change position.
Any suggestions most welcome.

Ideapad yoga 11s WITHOUT a pen - can I get it to work with a pen?

Got the ideapad yoga 11s for a surprise gift on christmas. And just found out there is also a version of the ideapad yoga with a stylus/wacom pen. That would have made this apparatus just perfect for me. So my 3 questions quite simply are:
1. Can anyone tell me if this version can be "modified" to work in the same way (e.g. pressure sensitivity) if I can acquire the pen / a pen separately?
2. Can a pen indeed be acquired separately?
3. And what kind of pens would work?
Please help And thank you to anyone who can tell me the answers!
Edit: Suppose I need a digitizer. I presume this model does not have it? I don't even know what that is physically - so is it something I CAN accuire for this machine?

Only digitizer pens and digitizer displays have pressure sensitivity. If you want this, take a look at the ThinkPad Yoga for your next purchase.
You need a capacitive stylus pen, like the Wacom Bamboo Stylus

Ideapad Yoga 13 will only charge to 12%

Hello, if this is the wrong forum, please let me know where to post. I couldn't find anything for an ideapad. Anyway, I have the ideapad yoga 13 and it will only charge up to 12%. I've tried to reseat the battery, recalibrate the battery, reinstalled the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery under Device Manager, tried a different power supply, and uninstalled the power management software. It will charge, but only to 12%. The system tray says that it is plugged in and charging, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I'm not sure if this is a software issue, mobo issue, or batter issue. I'm comfortable reloading Windows 8.1 on it if I have to, but I don't want to waste anymore of my time trying to troubleshoot this thing. Has anyone had this issue or know the fix? Thanks!

Hi.
I don't know if an Ideapad has the same apps preinstalled as a Yoga 2 PRO. But I had almost the same problem, and found out that in the Apps section (the Lenovo section) there is an app called "Energy Manager" and within this there is an option called "Conservation Mode" - the last tab. This was turned on, and after I disabled it, it would charge the battery to 100%.
I don't know if this is a solutuion, but it is worth a try :-)
Kind regards

Lenova ideapad yoga 11s

i probably wont be able to explain this properly but i will try my best else i will be going to contact lenova via hte phone.
For some reason i cannot launch anything on my lenova ideapad yoga 11 s.
for instance i click on the internet explorer icon in my little panel or the camera or the calendar or the photo's icon and they do not actually open, what happens is that they appear in the bottom task bar as if they are open but they arent opened i cannot see or access them. To open internet explorer i have to go to the search field on the computer and click on it here once it appears and then it opens.
does anyone know what the problem is with the computer and why it has suddenly started doing this.
I am not sure where to post this query on the lenova forum so if its the wrong section could you let me know and i will re-post in the correct forum.
Thanks in advance.
Moderator note: moved it for you.

Just for your information...I recently returned the yoga 2 pro to Best Buy and bought a yoga 11s instead. I have it upgraded to windows 8.1 without having any problem. All you have to do is to wait until the system automatically download and install the windows updates. And after rebooting the computer, go to Windows Store, the free upgrade to windows 8.1 will be available for you to download. While waiting for windows 8.1 to be downloaded and installed you can just go to Lenovo support website to find and download all the updated drivers for yoga 11s, which are compatible with windows 8.1. Then when the system automatically finishes the upgrade to windows 8.1, just simply updated the drivers one by one. So yeah, in my case, I did not have any problem or error when upgrading to windows 8.1
Hope this helps.

Ideapad Yoga 13 bluetooth and wifi issue

My IdeaPad Yoga 13 has a problem with playing music via bluetooth A2DP profile. Audio plays well and without hiccups when I'm not downloading anything from the internet with high speeds but if I download something music playback starts to crackle and break. That is very annoying and I'm wondering why high wifi bandwidth would cause this kind of problem for bluetooth. If I've understood right, bluetooth and wifi modules reside on the same wireless card on Yoga but still, shouldn't they be separate in a way that they wouldn't be able to affect each other's performance? I'm using Nokia MD-310 Wireless Receiver with my Yoga.
My second problem is about the same wireless card, too. My wifi works otherwise well and I haven't had any speed problems with it (unlike many others on this forum) but after a few weeks of using my Yoga it started to have problems with reconnecting to my wifi after waking up from sleep. It doesn't find any wifis unless I run the wireless troubleshoot which resets the wireless card.
I've tried reinstalling the driver and setting windows 8 power management settings to maximum performance but nothing seems to solve these two problems.
Does anyone have solution for these?

I forgot to mention I used a fresh pair of batteries for the mouse (rules out simple solutions).

IdeaPad Yoga 11S SSD upgrade

Hello there.
I have an IdeaPad Yoga 11S, and the OEM 128GB SSD is running out of space.
I believe the OEM SSD is a 1.8-inch drive. So if I were to get a larger SSD, would it have to be 1.8" as well, or could I use a 2.5" drive instead?
I already have a 2.5" 500 GB hybrid drive that might work well, or I might just go buy a new SSD...but the 2.5" drives are cheaper and more widely available than the 1.8" drives.

This seems like a helpful place to begin:

Ideapad Yoga 11 with Windows RT - Issues

Got my orange Yoga 11 with Windows RT a few days ago here in the UK, and I have to say that initial impressions are very good. No fan at all, barely gets wam, switches on from connected standby almost instantly, and battery life is really impressive. Build quality seems solid - no peeling paintwork, and keyboard is securely fastened, screen is great quality, there's some backlight bleed on the right side, but only visible when at 100% against a black background (i.e. never). There's a bit more flex and 'give' in the screen than I expected, but nothing I can't live with. Wifi signal is also strong and connections don't drop like others are seeing with the Yoga 13.
So, Windows RT ... still getting used to it, but here are some initial niggles: there only appears to be one Lenovo RT settings app available in the Store, and it's fairly useless, since all it does is provide a switch to lock/unlock keyboard in different orientations (why?). No Lenovo drivers are available from here either, I guess these all come from Windows Update for the RT model instead?
The problems I'm having stem from not being able to tweak some system & hardware settings properly because of the above and the need to rely on stock driiver configs, specifically:
- Keyboard: it can be quite sluggish, and doesn't register repeat letters very well (like in 'tell' or 'soon') at my typing speed. I've never experienced this with any keyboard, nevermind a Lenovo one. The stock keyboard config under Control Panel does nothing to help this - changing the two options for Repeat delay/Repeat rate just make it worse. This is quite annoying, as I really have to slow down my typing speed to get any work done. It would currently be my no. 1 reason for returning it, depending on how I get on with it this week.
- Touchpad: no options are available to configure it that I can find. No tweaking multi-touch, like 2-finger scroll direction (which is reversed from the normal setting). It can also be very sluggish to respond sometimes, especially for pinch to zoom and similar gestures.
- Bluetooth: allthough I can pair with e.g. Jamboxes fine enough, the connection is dreadful - constantly skipping and dropping out with any audio source, basically unusable. The Jamboxes work fine with every other device I own. Again no settings I can tweak here beyond the installation options, and no way to debug the problem.
Any help or advice with these niggles would be much appreciated, especially the keyboard issue.

Just to add a few more passing thoughts to this monlogue for anyone who may be thinking of buying this model instead of the 13.
When it comes to Windows RT I'm finding myself more surprised every day by what I *can* rather than *can't* do with it. Partly this is because I thought it would be something closer to a gimped Android or iOS experience. Here are some things I didn't really expect to be available or usable, and that compare very well to those other OSes:
- Remote Desktop (& RemoteApps): this really works very nicely, so far if I need quick access to a non-RT app it's a doddle to remote login to a W7 machine. I was expecting this to be too slow to be practical, but actually it's very smooth, and no need to install a separate app (although the Store has a Metro version to complement the desktop UI).
- Windows Firewall with Advanced Security: I was expecting something dumbed-down, but this is the fully monty, completely configurable when you need it, otherwise less in your face than with W7. The same goes for Windows Defender, also included as standard.
- Local Group Policy: I'm still surprised this is included, given that it otherwise only comes with W8 Pro.
- Bitlocker: encrypts your drive by default OOB, no need to manage it at all.
- Network browsing & sharing: really it's just a doddle to set up, using HomeGroup or just browsing the local network, access to all your network files OOB without installing any apps.
- PlayTo: again, painless to set up and use, streaming all your media to DLNA devices.
- Flash support, works just fine, and easy enough to add 'supported' sites to the list.
- Explorer / File History / Disk management, really the whole suite is there without sandboxing or more apps needed for handling basic tasks. So refreshing after iOS especially.
- Admin tools / Powershell: the list of is impressive - full Task Manager, Event Viewer & Performance Monitor all included - and I was delighted to find Powershell in there too, especially since it's finally integrated into Explorer properly. Such a great, under-rated utility!
- Media support: although I do miss a desktop media player with previews in Explorer, and better codec management, I was surprised by how quickly devs are stepping up to support different media types. Free apps already support mkvs and the like, and a VLC port is planned. I'm optimistic that this will get better.
So basically, once you get past the point of accepting that you can't install legacy desktop programs or drivers, it's pretty much a solid Windows experience. I think the keyboard & typing speed is now my only major issue ... but I've almost convinced myself I can live with it so probably won't be returning it.
Thanks for listening.

Ideapad Yoga sent in two months ago and still no return OR repair

My beloved Ideapad fell down the staircase drom a bag and required majpr surgery. Thankfully, the warranty on it had not expired so I sent it in for repair in the second half of September. It is now end of November and no repair or udate has been provided. The representatives I called vaguely said there were expecting parts for it. Does it usually take such a long time??

What does it say in the Internet section on the initial Status page of the BrightBox? Omit your BB Username.
What lights show / don't show on front of router (count them off)?
Is this for ADSL BB or Fibre? BrightBox 1 or 2?
Does the phone work? Do you get a dial tone? Does it announce your correct no. when you dial 1470 17070?
