IdeaPad A10 1GB partition limitation

Hello everybody. Just bought a IdeaPad A10 laptop and had a major surprise, a nasty one in fact!Apps partition is limited at 1 GB storage! Even if total storage space is plenty to spare, for 16GB, why even think to do somethig like that?NO WAY!Can't anyone do something about it? We know it is a low budget and a dead device as production stopped but still there are users over there who use your product.Maybe A10 Laptop was an experiment that went wrong and left it to rot (or Chromebooks took over...)?Still you sell it.But no support for users.Shame on you...ASUS are better optimized in this matter. My FonePad has all 16GB available to user... But Asus invest in software development a lot, LENOVO don't??? I just felt like buying another cheap, cheap, low end/ low budget device... Thanks... for nothing LENOVO.

Yeah, I reckon that someone cut a deal with them to kill the A10. Why would you release a product like this? It an ideal prodcut for me, if it worked, but it seems the industry is really keen not to produce something like the eee pc again. They want to keep prices up and not produce cheap, semi-disposable machines.
I liked the A10 because of its price point. I can take it with me in situations where I wouldn't want to risk a more expensive machine like the beach or on long haul flights. I can just chuck it in a backpack and not worry too much about it getting damaged.
This is the first the lenovo I bought. Its definitely the last too.

  • Ideapad A10 - Internal storage capped at 1GB

    Hello, The internal storage on my Ideapad A10 is set to 1GB with the remaining space on the SSD being labeled as "NAND storage". Is that really the intended configuration? Is there a way to expand the internal storage portion of the SSD at the expense of the "NAND storage"? Otherwise, can anyone recommend an app that automatically moves non-system apps to NAND?

    Whoops... Should have read the posts regarding other Android-based products first.
    So apparently a firmware update is supposed to fix that internal storage issue.
    My firmware version is JDQ39.A10_S020_131203
    The software update widget claims this is the lastest version. Am I missing something?
    (By the way Kingsoft has stopped supporting the version of their Office suite that ships with the A10)

  • Ideapad A10 32GB version?

    Hi everyone,
    I've spotted the Lenovo Ideapad A10 on sale in the UK at various online vendors. The version currently I have seen has 1GB RAM and 16GB storage. Can anyone tell me when a version with 2GB RAM and 32GB storage (as stated in the original announcement spec) might come out? I'm waiting keenly for this!
    Thanks

  • Disk utility does not allow to restore Macintosh HD after I deleted a small size (1GB) partition

    Hi, when I tried to create a new 1GB partition (on my Mac mini 2011, using Mac OS X 10.7.3) and then to delete it I could not restore (increase) Macintosh HD size using Disk utility (diskutil list shows the same value for Macitosh HD (498,17GB) partition before and after I deleted a new created 1GB partition).
    Please help, how I can restore the original size of Macintosh HD when Disk utility does not allow to restore Macintosh HD after I deleted a small size (1GB) partition?
    Thank you.

    The bottom right corner dragging does not help in my case, because it shows that Macintosh HD partition size is maximal, but its real size did not change after I removed 1GB partition.
    Maybe any other idea can help me, for example some built-in tool like diskutil which allows to view and manage unused partitions in terminal?
    Thank you.

  • Language change : Lenovo ideapad A10

    Hi,
    I bought lenovo ideapad A10 serial no. UB02114387 from Oman. There are only three language options given viz, Arabic, French and some other language. How can I change to english. I called technical support in India but could not get a satisfactory reply. Please suggest.

    It's a totally your problem. I think you messed up your tab by rooting and by using wrong app from playstore. Make sure permissions to systemui.apk and .odex are rw-r-r.

  • Ideapad A10 - Internal Storage 1G Limitation Major Problem

    I have had the A10 Ideapad for less than 2 days and have installed a handful of apps. I am now told that there is not enough storage for additional applicaitons. The 16g internal stoge has been divided up into 1G internal storage and the remainder "nand" storage.
    This seems to have been spetacularly short-sighted as now I am out of storage for apps which insist on being instlaled on the internal partition. How can I resize the "internal storage" partition or at least force apps to install on the "nand" parition or to SD card. I would prefer not to root the device and not to have to install any move2sd apps.
    thanks

  • IdeaPad A10

    Hallo, ich habe eine Frage und hoffe das mir hier jemand weiter helfen kann. Ich habe mir eine ein A10 zugelegt und eine eine 64 GB MicroSD. Mein Problem ist das sich die Apps bei Nutzen der Einstellung auf SD-Karte verschieben zwar verschieben aber nicht auf die SD-Karte sondern auf den NAND Flash. Hat jemand eine Idee wo man was einstellen kann da mit es auf die SD kopiert wird oder ob das Generell möglich ist. Danke im Voraus togo42 

    Habe versucht das ganze bei comtech zu reklamieren, weil beim Kauf nirgends ein Hinweis zu finden war, dass effektiv nur 1 GB Speicher verfügbar ist.Der IdeaPad wurde dreimal nach Rücksprache mit comtech an Lenovo eingeschickt. Immer wieder die gleiche Antwort, der Speicher ist im Gerät vorhanden. Dass er nicht nutzbar ist und nach Installation von ein paar wenigen Apps schon voll ist, dieser Sachverhalt wird nicht kommentiert. Antwort Comtech:Sehr geehrter Herr Müller,der Hersteller bat um Fotos aus der Speicherverwaltung des Gerätes und hat diese geprüft. Bei Ihrem Gerät ist zweifelsfrei alles korrekt. Der erweiterte Speicher wird korrekt als NAND-Flash Speicher angezeigt.Foto des internen und des NAND-Flash Speichers anbei.Welche APPs auf den externen Speicher gespeichert werden können etc. ist von der jeweiligen APP abhängig. Das Gerät hat jedoch den Speicher und ist mangelfrei.Eine Wandlung ist in Ihrem Falle daher nicht möglich.Mit freundlichen Grüßen
    Best Regards
    Kevin Keller
    RMA Team Ich wies erneut darauf hin, dass ich ein Tablet mit 16 GB internem Speicher gekauft hatte und ich die Apps nicht auf den externen Speicher verschieben wollte, sondern auf den "internen" Speicher. Kurzum... Lenovo hat ein beschissenes und unbrauchbares Gerät hergestellt. Comtech hat dieses scheiss Gerät ungeprüft verkauft und möchte nicht auf den Kosten sitzen bleiben. Das war das letze Gerät, das ich über comtech gekauft habe. Von Lenovo ganz zu schweigen, ich werde jedem davon abraten sich für ein Lenovo-Gerät zu entscheiden und meine schlechte Erfahrung mit Lenovo noch in weiteren Foren verbreiten.

  • Partition limitations

    Are there any limits on number of partitions a tbale can have in Oracle 10gR2?

    Thnx

  • Is it possible to bypass the number of partitions limitation (no more than 2) when trying to boot into windows by not using boot camp assistant, and instead just partitioning the drive manually?

    I can't find a specific answer to this question.
    I did have a functioning Windows 8 installation on my MacBook Pro previously. I tried to make a third exFAT partition so as to have a drive mutually readable/writable to both operating systems. This made it so I could no longer boot into my Windows installation.
    I know I'll need the boot camp drivers installed on the Windows installation after the fact, but would manually creating a partition and installing the OS without Boot Camp Assistant work? And would I be able to boot from it while having a total of 3 partitions?

    That's the spirit! 
    Just be sure to have your OS X junk safe in a tested backup, in case the whole thing craps out and you end up having to do a low-level partition and erase of the entire drive.
    And like I said, the problem is not OS X. I've set up mine at least once with 4 partitions holding as many flavors of OS X as can run on the hardware, all perfectly bootable on demand.

  • Boot Camp Partition Limited to 99GB on 3GB Fusion?

    I have a new (refurbished) 27" iMac with a 3TB Fusion drive.  I am attempting to install Boot Camp.  When attempting to setup the Boot Camp partition, I am presented with a default of 20 GB but CANNOT extend above 99GB.  Again, the internal drive is 3TB which has seen no activity outside of a time machine restore.
    I have run a series of terminal commands and have included the information below.  Is it possible that it's only allowing me to partition the Disk0?  I thought that was the flash drive and would be exempt from the Boot Camp process?  Any help would be appreciated.

    I worked with Apple Support.  Something appeared to be incorrect in the partitions of the Fusion drive as shipped from the factory.  We deleted the drive via Terminal and Disk Utility was then able to recognize a damaged Fusion volume and correct it.  After a new install of Yosemite I was able to partition Boot Camp as desired and install Windows.
