G505s Touchpad buttons not working properly while gaming?

This is the second time i am posting this due to no replies:
I recently bought a Lenovo G505s about a month ago. Everything is fine with it until i downloaded Steam and downloaded some games. 3 of the games i downloaded are shooters and therefore require the left mouse button. But when i click it to shoot, it doesn't respond sometimes and is very laggy. This is not the fault of the game as i tried it in different ones but the problem is still there. i tried to switch round the buttons (so that the right button is to shoot and the left to aim) and it works fine. I would prefer to have it the usual way around so does anyone have a way to fix this? did this happen to you?
If it is needed here are some specs for the pc:
AMD A8
6gb ram
WIndows 8.1
also the buttons and trackpad work completely fine with everything else except games including Minecraft. it seems that when i am moving with WASD the button doesn't work but the right click button does.
Can someone please give me a reply?
Solved!

hi AdreesInator,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
There is a feature on Touchpad software and driver to lessen the touchpad Sensitivity when using the keyboard to prevent touchpad movement when typing,
I believe this is the cause.
First try to open Control Panel and look for Hardware and sound then Mouse
Then you will find a TAB at the top right for your touchpad.
Click that and select Settings or properties, This is how it looks.
Click the settings and once inside look for Palm check Option, This is the feature that changes the sensitivity and response accuracy of the touchpad
If you can't find this Palm check inside the touchpad settings, you might need to uninstall the touchpad driver and just use the WIndows Generic driver as the Driver does not support changing it.
If this is the case
Open Control Panel and look under Mice and other pointing device and uninstall your Synaptics or ELAN then go Open COntrol Panel / Add remove Programs / Uninstall a program and uninstall Synaptics or Egis tech ELAN.
Then try your Games with the touchpad and it should work fine
Hope this helps
Cheers!

Pick activity is not working properly while creating two or more file adapt

Hi,
pick activity is not working properly while creating two or more file adapter for bpel process.
bpel process compiled and deployed succesfully but while observing the wsdl file of deployed process you can find only one file adapter. so it polls only from that location.
can anybody help on over this? or it's limitation of jdev to use only one file adapter at time while using Pick.
Thanks
sagar

Does anybody tried this?
Thanks

Touchpad Buttons Not Working

I purchased this Toshiba Satellite C55D-B5102 last week, I installed Windows 10 last night. After installing Windows 10 the touchpad did not work. I have since fixed that issue. However, now the buttons for the touchpad are not working and I'm unable to find a solution to this issue. I am able to use a wireless mouse for functionality, so that helps, however, this is a very hindersome problem... Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Hi I´m not sure if this gives any guide but this what I have done to "Win 10 + touchpad problems". I have a Satellite P30 W-B which is brand new. I installed Win 10 yeasterday and my Touchpad didnt work any good after that, I only had the cursor function and a click function working, no right click or so. I checkad all possible solutions here and there and what I finally did was to uninstall the ELAN tocuhpad driver and a ree-start. I thought the touchpad would be dead after that but it works fine! Now its a MS softwere instead automaticly, quite old. Now it works like before. THe ELAN driver came with he Win 10 package. I might have lost some functions incoperated in the ELAN driver like scroll or so but I wont install any new driver unless its working properly with Win 10 so I can wait for that. I hope this can be something for the moment.

Button not working properly.

Hi I bought my new HP Envy k112tx its capslock button is not working properly when pressed softly. It has to be pressed hard so that it could work, Its minor.What should i do?.

if it's not bugging you then you can safely just leave it, there is a small risk of causing damage to the keyboard though. If you contact HP they may be able to replace the keyboard for you unless it's less than 30 days old then you should be able to return it for a replacement unit, you'll still need to contact HP first though cause that's where the retailer will refer you to straight away

Touchpad is not working properly on Satellite L30-X10

Hi to all of you.
I've got the following issue: On my notebook the scroll on the touchpad is not working. If somebody can tell me how to fix this problem it would be kindly appreciated.

Hi,
I am not sure if this can be a good solution but maybe its worth to try it:
1. Download the latest touchpad software from here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
2. Remove the old software
3. Reinstall the downloaded software
4. Go into your mouse properties and check if everything is configured (especially the scroll function)
Give some feedback in case of further questions..
Cheers

Touchpad Scroll-buttons not working properly

Hello all,
I was not sure if this is actually a Desktop Environment or Hardware problem, but since it's hardware related I will post it here.
The problem:
On my touchpad (on Acer Aspire 5610Z) I have scroll button for up/down/left/right and until a recent update the scroll buttons need to be clicked repeatably in order to scroll. Before the upgrade and the way I'm expecting to behave is that when I click and hold a button - it should repeat the scroll (I hope you are able to understand it). So basically my problem is that to scroll with the scroll-buttons I have to click it numerous times in order to scroll, instead of just holding the button pressed.
At the same time all other features like two-finger scrolling, gestures etc. are working, but I'm not used to scroll with two fingers and would like to have my scroll-buttons working.
Here is some information about the configuration:

I thank you in advance for your suggestions

I'm afraid the problem is in driver.
I compared sources of input-synaptics 1.6.3 and 1.7.0 and it seems that author has cut off the functionality of "repeating" scrollbuttons
Here's the announce of this new version:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/x … 55593.html
And we can read there: "Purge scrollbuttons (repeat)".
Strange decision I think...

EliteBook 820 - Synaptics smbus touchpad buttons not working. Compatibility issue with Windows 7?

Just bought a new HP EliteBook 820 G1, and because we have standardized on Windows 7 that's what we had installed at the factory, although I believe it was probably engineering for Windows 8, which I believe to be the source of my issue. The Synaptics smbus touchpad mouse works, but the buttons do not work. I have tried updating the drivers from Windows Updates, Synaptics, and HP websites, only to go have it not work, or tells me that I have the latest driver. Is this a compatibility issue with the device and Windows 7, in which I am going to be required to upgrade the device to Windows 8 before I deploy it to the end-user?

Hello @PinkPaper
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the HP EliteBook 820 G1 is a commercial product. You can do this here Notebook - HP ProBook, EliteBook, Compaq, Slate/Tablet PC, Armada, LTE

I hope this helps!

HP1044NR Touchpad Button not working

I have updated my driver to the lastest driver (1.00C), and the button does not work to de-activate the Touchpad. Please help.

You would have to replace the whole touchpad as there is a ribbon cable connected. I feel you on the beer too, dropped a Miller Lite in my Macbook once, opps!

Ipad dipped in water and sleep/wake button not working properly?

My son dipped my ipad 2 in the water bucket for like half a second the ipad,before this ipad was out of battery and was off! i quickly took it out dried all the excess water and even used a blow dryer to dry it,after a quick dry i tried to swtich it on and everything is working okay till now except the wake/sleep button,its not locking the screen or not switching off the ipad. it did turned it on but its not locking the screen or turning off the ipad!
when i tried reseting it from the general menu in settings it turned off and then the apple logo kept on coming for like 5 seconds and then going away this keeps on happening till i dont keep a hold off the sleep/wake button to switch it on or till the ipad runs out of battery,then if i hold the wake/sleep button to turns it.
One more problem im facing as soon as the ipad turned.it gives me power off option everytime then iv to cancel it to use my ipad.
so the main question is my sleep and wake button is turning on my device but not working while its on,what would be the problem and whats the solution?
p.s. i was tensed about it so i quickly turned it on to check whether its working,i know i shouldnt had turned it on :/
currently my ipad is off and iv put it under a fan to dry,thinking this might might help but im feeling it wont now its too late:(

Hello:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
That resets the iPad. If that does not work, I am afraid it has been damaged by the "water dip."

Automator not working properly while setting comments and moving files to folders, how to proceed?

So, this is my workflow, i've converted it into a folder action and applied it to a folder called "Automator" in my desktop:
i've turned "show this action when the workflow runs" so I can see what is going wrong
here's what I get (each action happens to have a problem to it)
1) Get specified finder items
2/3) Filter / find finder items
those are there just to work for this simple porpouse: identify that i've dropped a pdf file in the "Automator" folder
I move the PDF
The workflows starts
4) Ask for a text
this would be a prompt for me to add a comment to go to the "Spotlight Comment" section when I click on "get info"
put instead I get this...
that's the directiory that the file is in!
so I type some random text that would go to the spotlight comment section
then click OK
5) Set Spotlight Comments for Finder Items
that's the actual action, it should have the text that i've inputted in the last step, but instead it has this:
(Text is the variable that i've setted up to be shown on the ask for text and set spotlight comment...)
so, I have to manually input the comments I want to be on the file
and click continue
6) Label Finder Items
That's the action where i'm suppose to choose the label color, so I do that and click continue
this should work, but the file doesn't change label at all
nothing happens.
7) Move Finder Items
It should move to the "untitled folder", but again, it doesn't.
and that's it.
It's a PDF file, but it's not recognized by the system as a PDF.
When it is recognized, if I move more than one PDF file, the workflow works for just one PDF, instead of working for all of them!
I would reeeeally appreciate any help
the whole point in this was for me not to buy Hazel, but I think I will end up buying it :/
thanks for any help anyone can give me!

hey red_menace, thanks veeeery much for your support, I really appreciate it
as you can notice, i'm new to the automator, i'm actually new to the whole software thing, I have no idea what I'm doing so I really appreciated your help, changed my life and made my day
BUT, it didn't work...
well, it did, partially
I still don't get any comments on the "Spotlight comments" area and when I convert the workflow to a folder action, it does not recognize the file!
here's my workflow:
here's what I did, step by step:
first I added find finder's items, that worked really well, but it labeled all the finders files that were in the folder AND subfolders (the ones that were suppose to already be labeled right)
then I removed the find finder's items and tried, worked well, but I hadn't checked the "ignore the input", so the comments weren't working
so then I ignored the input on the actions that didn't require an iput, so my workflow is the same as yours now… and It's not working.
at first it worked for only 1 pdf, but no comments
then it worked for 50% of the pdfs, with comments
then it stopped working at all.
added the find finders items
worked while testing with one
saved
tried with 7 at the same time
worked… but didn't get any spotlight comments
went back on automator
checked "show this action when the workflow runs" for the spotlight comments action
added the variable as an answer on the "ask for text"
the variable ran as expected, I had the same input I've inputed as an answer for the "ask for text" on the "spotlight comments" action, label went okay and stuff, but i did not get any spotlight comment on the spotlight comment section!!
went back on automator and checked out the "append to existing comments" on "set spotlight comments for finder items"
and still didn't get any comments on the files!
btw, I went back on the automator and removed the find finder items
then tried again with only one file, dropping it in the application. it worked, but I still didn't get any spotlight comments!!
I also tried deleting the ask for text and tried just
but it did not work
I also converted the workflow that working for all expect the comments to a folder action, and it DID NOT recognize the pdf I dropped in the folder, what do I do?!
