KitKat roll-out for Yoga Tablets starting June

Well, first of all I think, that this news deserve a separate topic, so please don't merge it with another one. Finally a Lenovo employee from Poland provided information about the KitKat roll-out for Yoga Tablets. For Wi-Fi version starting 9th of June and for the 3G version starting 23rd of June. Check out this link: LINK and here in German: LINK 
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I rang Lenovo Support to see if I could get any further clarification on this and the person I spoke to cast doubt on whether KitKat would be coming to anything other than the soon to be released Yoga 10 HD+.  It was suggested that model would be released in May and receive the KitKat upgrade in June. 
I mentioned media articles claiming that KitKat would be coming to all Yoga tablet models, and he gave the impression that support and updates for the original Yoga 8 and 10 models could end on release of the new model and that they may not even be capable of handling KitKat in any case. 
I don't know whether that information is any more reliable or accurate than what has previously been posted, or is perhaps just more confusion and contradiction to add to the mix.

  • UVC Support for Yoga tablets?

    I recently purchased a Yoga 8 and love it.  I upgraded to Kit Kat.  However, the tablet appears to lack support for UVC external cameras.  
    How can UVC support be enabled for Yoga tablets?  I know rebuilding the kernel and flashing it is one option, though that seems like overkill.  Another option could be to flash stock Android, but I am not sure what that would do to the tablet.
    Are there any easier options for enabling UVC support on a Yoga tablet?
    Thank you,
    Saish

  • Roll out for new plant need some informations

    Hi,
    We are going to roll out for our 2nd plant. So I need your help.
    I am explaining the scenario,
    Current scenario is: we have two manufacturing plants (ex:-one in noida and another in gurgaon) and in both plants we have six product line (in A plant=3, in B plant=3).
    For both plants we are using one Company code (1000). and we are not using the business area.
    But now the problem is this, that management wants separate reporting (P&l statement and Balance sheet) Plant wise and Product wise.
    We decide to create a separate co- code for 2nd plant and six business area for product lines.
    (In this regards I need your suggestions that how can we define the enterprise structure)
    Please tell me
    1. what new configurations we need to be done for new co-code?
    2. In which areas business area will be affected and how and where we will assign the business area?
    3. As we are doing transaction in sap since last year and we are doing this roll out in mid of 2008 so what will be the impact on the business.
    4. How we will transfer the transactional data from one co-code to another, because data of both plants lies in previous co-code(1000).
    Data like:- A. Transfer of General ledger balances
              B. Transfer of open line items of General ledgers
              C. Transfer of asset and accumulated depreciation from one co code to another.
              D. Controlling transfer postings.
              E.  Customer / Vendor open items and balances transfer posting. Etc
    If someone knew about something more to be taken care of, please guide so that we can successfully complete the roll out.
    Please advice me, its urgent. if any one can give me his mobile to make me understood i can call to him .
    Thanks and regards

    if they want to a seperate P&L and B/S the why dont you make them as profit centers where you can take a P&L n B/S. at this level

  • US based implementation roll out for France and India

    We have a U.S. based implementation that is rolling out to France and India , and we have the U.S. chart of accounts set as the leading ledger. I knew France and India has their own country reporting format. Is it OK to just have country chart of account without activating the non- leading ledger? What needs to be considered for this country roll out .
    Thanks

    Hi  Arvind
    I have same requirement for  India roll out implementation ; If you have implemented  non leading ledger  then share your experience

  • Alternate charging cable for Yoga tablet 2

    Today, while i was re-organizing i had moved my Dropcam and noticed the cable is fairly heavy gauge like the short Lenovo cable. i decided to plug the cable into the lenovo and it started charging without a problem. so for those of you looking for another cable option, I'd thought I would let others know. the bonus is that the Dropcam's cable is 10' long.

    I really wanted this to work so I looked into this when I got the tablet 6 months ago. You can find other posts about this if you go back several months in the forums. The usb connection cannot operate as a data connection and charge at the same time. This is apparently the way lenovo has designed the Yoga and it's other tablets. 

  • Android 5 update offered and now missing. Has it been pulled for Yoga tablet 2-1050F?

    I had received a notification that the lollipop update was available for the past few days. I decided to update today and the update notification is now gone. I checked for an update and am being told my tablet is up to date.   Has this happened to anyone else? 

    Hey guys, am I getting it right that Lenovo stopped sharing the new Android 5.0.1 update via OTA due to some user reported incidents regarding the new software?

  • Multiplatform roll out for RDS

    This may seem as a trivial question but can you have multiple versions of Windows Server when you rollout RDS. My plan is to stick with a base rollout for the component servers(ex RD Gateway and Licensing server...) probably Windows server 2008R2 or 2012
    R2, however for the Session Host am i able to have a farm of 2008 and 2012 servers? I ask this because some applications that we have run now in 2008 but have not been tested on a 2012 server. I am kind of under the gun with this since our licensing for Citrix
    is expiring and we are moving forward with RDS rather quickly. I would like to know your thoughts. 
    THanks

    Hi,
    The RD Session Host farms/collections need to be separate, however, you can share some components (RDG, RDWeb, RDL).  For example, you could have 2012 R2 RD Gateway, RD Web, and RD Licensing, and have it so that the RemoteApps on your 2008 R2 farms
    show up in the 2012 R2 RDWeb.  That way users will see RemoteApps from both your Server 2012 R2 and 2008 R2 in the same place and can launch them as needed.
    You need to have separate broker(s) for each version.  2008 R2 broker for your 2008 R2 RDSH farms, and 2012 R2 broker for your 2012 R2 collections.  There is some planning needed to give the best experience to the end users as well as understand
    how to administer/configure both but it is doable.

  • When is roll out for my Area MK7

    I have checked on the BT where and When site.
    It says Accepting orders but no one seemes to be taking them, can any one help.

    The accepting orders only relates to the exchange your phone line is connected to and not to the street cabinet. To check to see if you can get Infinity enter your phone number into the following link, if it mentions FTTC and a speed then you can order Infinity: http://dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/adslchecker.welcome
    Note: The street cabinet has to be enabled as well as the exchange.

  • Yoga Tablet 10" - update to Android 4.4 and further problems with Google Music

    Hi everyone.
    I've just upadated my Yoga Tablet 10" to Android 4.4. Whole process went smoothly but afterwards I'm experiencing some problems with Google Music. Playback is "skippy" or "choppy", even if whole song is downloaded. Every 15-25 seconds there small pause, which is quite annoying.
    Local music files (uploaded through usb) seem to work just fine.
    I've even tried resetting whole device to factory settings but without any success.
    I also have an impression that youtube playback is not so smooth as it used to be in Android 4.2...
    Has anyone experienced something similar? Any hints or sollutions?

  • Ideas needed for easy java runtime roll-outs

    On the cusp of Sun's newfound enthusiasm for Java everywhere I felt I had to post a few questions on the state of the runtime installers. We've been having awful problems getting the runtime installed on clients; Windows XP boxes are a particular problem as users have a very restricted set of privileges and write access - meaning that the runtime installation has to be run by someone with Administrator rights. This just isn't practical when we're trying to roll out a Java Web Start solution enterprise-wide.
    In an ideal world I suppose the runtime would be delivered pre-installed and big pat on back for getting Dell & HP to agree to this; but even with their support they'res still going to be a lot of Java unfriendly PC's out there.. Anybody got any clever ideas on routes around these problems.. I've tried to document some of our frustrations in the first part of this document
    http://lopica.sourceforge.net/services/ . During the process of writing the same I stumbled across Microsoft's Windows Installer Service WhitePaper which states:
    Operation in Lockdown Environments
    To decrease support costs, many
    organizations have locked down their
    desktops by controlling people's ability to
    write to the file system and registry. While
    this prevents a person from accidentally or
    intentionally modifying their configuration,
    it also requires administrator intervention
    whenever a new application needs to be
    installed. Since the Windows Installer
    operates as a system service on Windows NT
    4.0 and Windows 2000, it has the ability to
    run in one of two contexts:
    - As the Local System account, which
    has greater privileges than the user
    - As the user, which is the default behavior
    In a Windows 2000 environment, using the
    Group Policy-based Change and Configuration
    Management, the administrator can approve
    certain applications, specifying that all
    configuration operations on those
    applications (installation, uninstall, and
    repair) run as the Local System account. In
    this manner, administrators can lock down
    the file system and registry as described
    above, and the Windows Installer service can
    still perform installations on the person's
    behalf. Only those applications approved by
    the administrator run with elevated
    privileges.
    I've also run across "Provide .MSI file for Java, to deploy Java using active directory" (http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4854974.html). It appears Microsoft Installer might be the answer to both enterprise installation and the admin rights installation bugbear which really prevents us from offering users an easy install path. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has found any ways around these problems, are their any ms admins out their who've already repackaged the installers as msi packages and got the above deployments to work? Comments? Anyone?
    ..Finnaly (and can't resist a winge here) I find Sun's renewed interest in Java on the Desktop all very laudable; but the runtime support for Java Web Start and the Window ActiveX AutoDownloader are completely out-of-step. Web Start users still can't access
    1.4.1_01, 1.4.1_02 or 1.4.1_03 runtimes from Sun's servers (as per the jnlp specs) (http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4827788.html) and support for other versions is very limited and always painfully slow coming online (http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4836169.html) (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=38&thread=366655).
    I understand these are special installers and require extra development alongside the better known .exe versions (which have they're own chequered history with XP & InstallShield issues). But come-on Sun, a little more forethought and support - please..
    - Richard

    Does your msi just unpack the files or will it attempt to make the registry changes / os bindings that java plugin & java web start need?
    The way around the privs issues with msi's needs some security policy settings being made - I'm assuming these can be done by the domain administrator for all its users - but I'm out of my depth here; this is only a solution for organisations with enforced polices ~ but very important nevertheless.
    Sun seem to have attempted this in the past, but they're seems to have been a regression since; the following bug report suggests some manual registry settings that might effect the required changes.
    Bug ID 4431060 Installer quits when run as restricted user in windows 2000: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4431060.html
    But I couldn't get these to work with the (purloined) 1.4.2beta msi, nor the java update beta test (v5.5.5). What I'd really like to know is how to setup a group policy to achieve the same with an msi package that really works.. and have the details about how to setup an msi deployment domain-wide.. the whitepaper suggests both are possible with windows installer.

    To lenovo.   The reason I bought this tab is that I believe it has good quality and its performance is excellent especially from lenovo. But if lenovo reasons out that they cannot override the code that is in apk  itself from Google playstore. Can u provide a link or procedure how to go back from lollipop to KitKat until it is resolved? Because we cannot do the things we should do especially work related if we can't download or update any apps tnx.
