Helix and X61 pen comparison

I am considering upgrading from my Lenovo X61 tablet to a Helix, and was wondering if people can answer a weird question about the digitizer pen input.
On an X61, the screen is about a milimeter deep into clear plastic.  This seems harmless but it means that pen calibration is only valid if you sit at exactly the same angle whenever you write.  Moreover, it tends to mean that you can calibrate for the upper part of the screen or the lower part, but not both simultaneously.  Is the helix screen closer to the surface?
(Sorry for the strange question by the way... these things don't go unnoticed when you write on a tablet as much as me.)

I've been using my Helix with OneNote for a couple of hours today. Taking notes in class and working on my homework. It's cool to be all paperless and stuff, but the Gorilla Glass does seem pretty thick. For handwriting recognition it works fine, but for drawing type stuff, like math notes, the calibration becomes tiresome. You get it claibrated just right, and then you shift in your seat and it's wonky again. Then you rotate the screen and it shot to hell. It seems like they should claibrate a few points in the middle of the screen, because the angle can change a lot and getting your hand to rest properly at the right edge (for righties) is tricky. I'm getting used to it, and I probably make as many corrections as when I used paper, but for fine work it probably isn't the best.

  • Problems with Illustrator CC 2014 in Sony Vaio Fit 15A with N-Trig touch screen and digitizer pen.

    Hello to everybody!
    Some times ago Adobe has updated Illustrator to CC 2014 version and now it support touch pressure\pan\zoom in Windows 8 tablets. I have Sony Vaio Fit 15A with N-Trig touch screen and digitizer pen with pressure-sensitive support.
    I was extremely disappointed that the brush in new version does not work correctly. Watch the video please that I did specifically for the demonstration.
    I use Adobe Illustrator CS6 and Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 for comparison. In the old version the brush is works correctly. You must do a lot of clicks to start the brush in CC 2014 version (please see video). What causes of the problem? Please help me!

  • Question on How to Use LI and NP Data Comparison Report

    Hi,
    We are trying to figure out how to make the Transaction Code PC00_M42_LLPD (LI and NP Data Comparison Report) work. What file type (.xls, .txt, etc) should be used?  Anyone who is familiar with the transaction, please help.
    Best Regards,
    Bry

    Somewhere in the Oracle 8.0 documentation it is stated that one
    enviroment per each thread is required if I want to ensure
    complete concurrency of different threads accessing databases.
    But isn't this a waste of resources since only Handle Alloc &
    Free functions use Enviroment handle, hence they should be
    mutexed for access from concurrent threads.
    But the most time-consuming functions are ServerAttach &
    SessionBegin which shouldn't be mutexed since they have each
    their own Server/Session handle.
    So my question is if a single OCI Enviroment is enough for the
    most demanding tasks or should I create one enviroment per
    thread?
    Most folks are happy with a single environment. The mutex on the
    env handle is only taken when the OCI library is allocating some
    memory for internal operations.

  • Battery compatibility between X31s and X61s

    Hi!
    I own a X31s and X61s, and would like have a spare battery handy for travel. Before placing the order, I am wondering if the following battery can be used on both:
    * ThinkPad X60s Series 4 Cell Slim Line Battery
    It is not cheap, so I would like to think twice before buying. Somehow I cannot find any information on the compatibility issue. Thank you for your help!
    Jenny

    jennyumaa, welcome to the forum,
    unfortunately the batteries are definitely not interchangeable between X31 and X61 systems.
    Sorry

  • Helix and USB 3.0 Dock

    Hello,
    I don't know were to post a suggestion so I thought I leave it here.
    I do have a Helix and use the USB 3.0 dock 0A33970 in my office. For at home... I thought the 4X10A06077 would be nice: HDMI and hard wired network and some USB for entertainment. The online chat told me the dock is compatible with the Helix, which is actually wrong... The onelink connector doesn't fit.
    It should't be too difficult to create an adapter to split the onelink connector in standard USB 3.0 and power to make it usable for the the Helix which would open a nice market for the dock. I was very surprised that it's not (yet) available.
    Best regards,

    Do you have any issues using the dock after you put the helix to sleep? I am having a host of issues getting the Helix to see the dock after waking up.

  • Cinema LED 24" and Cintiq pen tablet same time connection???

    Does anybody tryed to connect LED sinema display (via mini-display port and one USB), and active graphic pen tablet (Wacom Cintiq) as second display simultaneously?? Both devices required DVI or mini-display, how to separate a data signal to different monitors?? My application - retouch in Photoshop CS4, thanks in advance!

    For what you want to do, it is not possible through one mini-display/dvi port as the graphics card can only handle 1 output at a time. Check out this little device. It'll turn one usb port into an average quality video output. I have my second Cinema display running off one of these. I wouldn't recommend playing games or anything on these though because the output frame rate is much too low. Check it out.

  • Is there a way to disable touch on the Helix and get a power management for battery cycles?

    As the title describes.
    I've been drawing a fair bit on the Helix using photoshop but what to find a way to disable touch. I used to be able to do it on my x220t through the control panel>isd tablet settings. Windows 8 doesn't have that option. Please don't mention palm rejection as it doesn't always work.
    Also I'd live to know if there is a battery gauge to show the battery cycle of the helix. I know the battery is in good condition. What i'd like to know is the cycles of both batteries.

    So I have found a temp work-around that does the deed.  I have been using a lot of autodesk sketch, and its bomb if you don't have to worry about your hand touching the screen while you sketch.  Here is how I have been doing it.
    WIN+X >> Device Manager >> Human Interface Devices >> 
    Under this section you will find three USB Drivers installed.  I found that if I desable the second USB Driver, then the touch screen stops working, but the Digitizer still works 100%.  Just re-enable when you want to use the touch again.  I really wish Lenovo had software to take care of this out of the box.  But as I said, It works for the time being.

  • Helix and Microsoft Dynamics - performance question

    Dear all,
    I'm testing Lenovo Helix to work with Microsoft Dynamics CRM. A strange issue has occured during test: when the tablet is working on WiFi, MSD performance can be a bit sluggish. In the airplane mode, MSD gets a boost performing way better than when connected to the internet.
    I have been browsing the internet for a while now and cannot find any explanation on this but found nothing. Don't know if the issue is tablet-related or MSD-related.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Kind regards,
    Pawel

    I am assuming you are using MS CRM through outlook, not the browser.
    So when you switch of your internet connection and have the offline client installed, it will revert to offline mode. Which can be faster because of:
    1. Data is not traveling over the network, only to a local web server on your machine
    2. The amount of data/plugins etc. you have localy is probably much lower, based on how you setup your offline filters
    Try pinging the MS CRM server and see what the latency is. If it's higher than say 100ms this might be the cause of performance degredation. Of course it depends a lot on the implementation. If you have a lot of client side scripting / SL web resources which communicate with the server, the  connection speed (latency) between you and the server will matter a lot.
    In general if you are having performance issues with the Helix check what speed the CPU is running at. This machine, among other issues, has a tendency to get stuck at 0.6-0.8 GHz and not get any higher, which has a massive impact on performance.
    This especially happens when you allow it to run out of battery juice (like keeping it at sleep for a longer period).
    Solution is to do a hard reset of the tablet and the base through the small holes near the power ports.

  • Profile Editor and Olympus Pen E-P2

    The DNG Profile Editor don't recognize DNG Files converted from Olympus Pen E-P2 ORF files.
    I have used the latest DNG converter 5.6.0.148 and the DNG files I have obtained can be open in Lightroom 3 beta. But the profile editor can't open them.
    I have used the Profile editor for several Olympus cameras without any problem.

    I have found a solution : I open the dng file version 5.6 with Camera raw 5.6 and I choose to save the image using and older version (4.1 for exemple).
    The dng file that I obtain can then be opened with the Profile editor.
    It seems that the Profile Editor must be upgraded for the new version of DNG.

  • BT and Java - Btl2Cap Connection (Mobile phone and Digital Pen)

    Hi!
    First a short Introduction:
    For a project I have to stream data from Maxell Penit DP201(4.1) to a mobile device (over a midlet). Data Connection is built up over Bluetooth.
    My Questions are: Is btl2cap the right method for connecting digital pen and mobile phone?
    If yes, is the btl2cap string correct?
    The pens device adress is 00-07-CF-56-05-5D
    Does anyone know a sample application like this I want to program?
    Structure;
    package /
    Midlet
    Class extending thread
    Here's the code:
    public void run() {
        //Bluetooth
        //String connString = "btspp://0007808303AA:1;master=false";
        String connString = "btl2cap://localhost:0007cf56055d;ReceiveMTU=512;TransmitMTU=512";
        System.out.println(connString);
        try {
                LocalDevice local = LocalDevice.getLocalDevice( ) ;
    // build ServiceRecord
                local.setDiscoverable(DiscoveryAgent.GIAC);
    L2CAPConnectionNotifier service = (L2CAPConnectionNotifier)
    Connector.open(connString);
    ServiceRecord sr = local.getRecord(service);
    // accept Connection
    L2CAPConnection connection = (L2CAPConnection ) service.acceptAndOpen( );
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }Thanks to all who can help me to reach the next step in my project.
    Best regards

    Hi,
    The reason for the compilation error is that the IDE is not able to find the jar file where bluetooth api is packed. try to put the jar file in lib directory of the project. Some IDE generates class files even though there are some compilation errors in java file.
    So it is better to resolve compilation errors before putting it in the device.
    The reason why the app freezes in the device is that you have not used a seperate thread to do the inquiry, try to use a thread where the inquiry will be done so that the apps main thread will respond to the user input.
    Hope this help you.
