Lenovo A3500 tablet warranty issue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, my situation is totally surreal. I bought (in Thessaloniki Greece) in 19/5/2015 the tablet Lenovo A3500 from an online shop. In 26/5/2015 I tried to check if the 3G feature works (I used wifi until then) so I placed my sim card in the sim card tray and I noticed that the sim couldnt stay inside it pop out (didnt lock inside so I could close the small lid). In 27/5/2015 I went back to the store (they have some stores to collect your products) they said we wil tke a look at it but as it seems since it is brand new we will send it to the dealership. In 3/6/2015 the store informs me that they send it to lenovo greece dealership. Yesterday 5/8/2015 after two months they called me back to tell me that the dealership cut off the warranty and that they wanted me to pay about 55 euros extra to fix my problem because I mishandled the tablet. Are they serioussssssssssss????????????? I built my previous laptop from scratch and I couldnt handle a sim card????? Can you please tell me how can I proceed I am so mad I got to deal with this brand, and the thing is here in Greece they only have a telephone number which I will use today, but I was hoping whether another buyer had a similar issue so I could get an advice

I own a Lenovo A3500-FL with A3500FL_A442_01_25_140823_BG and I have exactly the same issue. I do not believe there is something the user can do to fix this problem. Lots of Android devices had issues with wifi (Samsung Galaxy S3 is one of many) which have been solved with firmware/driver updates. As you can tell, it's been more than 2 weeks and you did not receive any reply yet. What we (users/owners) have to do is find a way to "raise awareness", inform Lenovo with other means and make sure that this issue is going to be officially confirmed and resolved.

Lenovo A3500 FL wifi issue

I bought a Lenovo A3500 for present to my sister.. After a week se notice that even if the wifi signal is seems strong the tablet cannot load internet pages etc. She turns off/on the wifi and can load anything instantly.. After 15minutes again the same problem..
What can we do?

Hello from Greece .The official greek Lenovo support told me that they
could not help me because the greek e-shop that i purchaced it import them
from Romania !!! and I told them so what? its a Lenovo product ! can you
help me ? I still wait a reply that never came. So I put the tablet back in
its case and only in special occasions work's (as a game machine or picture
frame). Final this particular machine in public wifi with android 4.2.2 has
a problem and Lenovo did nothing. So I recoment to anyone I know do NOT BY

How can I install BBM on Lenovo A3500 ?

Hallo All,
I have searched BBM using google play store and lenovo A3500 tablet. But I could not find it. It seems google hide it. Maybe google thinks the application is not compatible with the tab.
My question : Is it true that the tab is not compatible with BBM ? So we can not use BMM on it ?
Thanks in advance

X121e hinge warranty issue - please help!

Dear community,
The left hinge on my x121e suddenly came apart, due to no fault of mine (see picture). I sent it to Lenovo and they are saying it is not covered by the warranty because it is customer damage. Does anyone have any advice on how to confront them on this issue? The same problem has occured to many others - see here:

Hello moblid,
Please see my post regarding a fault in a Thinkpad which Lenovo claimed was not covered under warranty:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X220-Plastic-strip-loose-no-warranty/m-p/76206...
Bottom line: according to EU-regulations you are entitled to a product that works normally -under normal conditions-for at least two years, if you didn't do anything out of the ordinary with your Thinkpad it should be covered.
You should contact Lenovo and request they escalate the matter and have the EU-warranty team review the case

PScs4 and Lenovo x61 Tablet Detection

Hey,
I currently have a Lenovo X61T Tablet PC and I am testing out Photoshop CS4.
When I try to set the brush to be pressure sensitive I get the little "!" icon displayed saying that I must have a tablet installed for this feature to work.
I also have the FREE program of “Paint.net” installed on this tablet pc and that is able to detect the pressure sensitivity perfectly. So I would have thought this would rule out any driver issue as the functionality is working its just that Photoshop doesn’t seem to detect it and enable it.
Does anyone have any ideas / suggestions?
Cheers

"Onsite Next Business Day Warranty" - Current Warranty Request/Warranty Issues/Poor Service

TL;DR at the bottom of the post, detailed information in between. I have had a T430s for a little less than three years. I have called the warranty/customer service ~5+ times and every time gotten extremely poor service, whether it be because parts were "backordered" for weeks at a time, or because "Next Business Day" service has been anything but. I have decided to take a different route for my most recent warranty request, I will keep an up to date account of my request via this forum, with the intent of informing as many as possible with the current state of "Onsite Next Business Day Warranty". I called the warranty ~1hr ago and filed a service request. The outcome of the request was that "I should receive a call in the next day or so, no later than 5:30PM tomorrow" when the employee I spoke with arrives in the office. I pressed as to who would call, the employee would not answer definitively, but hinted that it would be his manager, because my warranty request apparently contained "so many parts that it required approval". The parts have not been shipped, and it was abundantly clear that the subject of the call would be whether this warranty request would get approved. Hopefully, readers can already tell where this is going, next business day onsite repair apparently means in the next 24 hours, you will receive a phone call letting you know if Lenovo will honor their warranty obligations that have already been paid for. To detail my issues:1. The fingerprint scanner has stopped working for the second time. 2. I have had an issue where when I pick up the laptop on the lefthand side, the screen turns to 'snow' and will not return to its regular condition until next boot. The laptop is unusable in this condition. I have been attempting to get this fixed essentially since I purchased the laptop, however, after 3 technicians came to 'fix' the issue, it has not been solved. I have asked/suggested every time I have called the warranty line that the issue is the system board, and it needs to be replaced. Every time, they have refused to replace the system board, instead opting for other parts, some of which were on 'backorder' for over a month (remember, "Next Business Day Onsite Repair"). The difficulty in obtaining warranty service from Lenovo has caused me to only attempt to get this fixed when other issues pop up, as they have in this case. Frankly, this issue alone should have caused Lenovo to call this laptop what it is after warranty request #2, a lemon, and they should have/should send a replacement model. 3. The laptop will not 'awake' from sleep mode - when the lid is closed, the keyboard/power button will not respond, and all power sources (battery, charger cable) must be removed and the laptop restarted. 4. When the laptop is booted up, there is a 'CMOS' error message - I have never had a BIOS battery 'go' in this short a time frame. Issues 1,3, and 4 have cropped up in the last week. The warranty employee suggested that I might need to send my laptop in for 'Depot' repair instead of onsite, which in this instance will not work because of the significant delay that may entail. I have a professional licensing/certification exam this month, and would greatly prefer that my laptop be in tip-top shape for the exam. The need to have the greatest level of uptime is what caused me to pay for the NBD Onsite Warranty in the first place. My previous (horrible) warranty experiences and requirement for expedient repair have led me to seek a better method for resolving issues, namely airing them in a public forum, which hopefully will elicit a response from someone who can actually get things done in the warranty department. I have 0 hope of receiving next business day repair (or even repair by Friday, as the warranty explictly says calls received after 4:00 PM might take 2 business days). I am skeptical that the issue will be resolved in the next week or two. Likewise, I have little hope that [some of] the problem(s) will actually get resolved after "repair" has been made, as historically that has not been the case for me with this laptop. I will be voting with my dollars after this, as I have been uniformly unimpressed with Lenovo customer service/warranty/etc. The laptop has been very nice when it doesn't have issues (and when I don't forget to grab it in a certain way), however, everything else about Lenovo has been exceedingly frustrating. The TL;DR of this is:1. If you work for Lenovo and can help, or if you don't and can help, please do!!! I will be extremely grateful for any assistance. 2. DO NOT under any circumstances purchase the Onsite NBD warranty thinking that the warranty will live up to the title. I have never received NBD Onsite warranty service, despite repeatedly 'giving' the option to Lenovo to provide such service. 3. If you are considering purchasing a Lenovo product, please read some of the stories people have on their dealings with the support side of the business. I will speak for myself and say that I will almost certainly never buy another Lenovo product again, and will strongly encourage everyone I know to do the same - after recounting my issues with them.

Hey burgerbone,
Sorry to hear about your troubles getting your machine issues resolved. I am not sure of the onsite policy related to your symptoms but I will be happy to look into it for you.
Do you mind sending me a PM (Private Message) with your machine/case info?
Thanks!

Limit on replacing phones for warranty issues?

Is there a limit on replacing iPhones due to warranty issues? I've returned one phone already because the silent switch stopped working, and now on the new phone the camera is in the "infared" mode that's been discussed on the camera forum.
I'm hesitant to take the phone back for every little problem because a lot of places have a limit of how many times you can take a product back and still get a free replacement.

I don't believe that there is any limit set on warranty phones. I think as long as the product is still within it's factory one year warranty phase, they will swap you for defective iPhones.

Lenovo 1 Year Warranty Status appears incorrect on H430

I am new to Lenovo and this forum...
(Thank you to Andy for getting me started with my other problem, "H430 Recovery Disk".)
My next problem:    The One Year Lenovo "Warranty Expiration" is not correct as displayed on the Lenovo on-line "Warranty Status" web page.
My new Lenovo model   "H430"   machine's warranty status is listed as July 2013 on the Lenovo Warranty Status web page.      However,   I purchased the H430 machine only 3 days ago on 21 August '12.
Background info:    By telephone, a Lenovo rep in Atlanta told me my "H430" was   "idea"   branded and he gave me a phone number for "idea"...      which connected me with Miles at the Lenovo center in the Philippines.    It was difficult to understand Miles... but I understood him to say that I should send a "scanned" copy of the receipt by email to Lenovo.     Again,   difficult to understand but I understood Miles to give me the following email address: [email protected]
After emailing the scanned receipt to that address,     I received a message from my Hotmail.com email provider which said something to the effect of:
"Warning, your email has been DELAYED.   You do not need to re-transmit your email"
Can anyone tell me if    "[email protected]"    is in fact the correct email address I should use to send the scanned receipt with my purchase date...    ie. to allow the Lenovo Corporation to correct the one year warranty status date as displayed on the "warranty status" web page ?
Thank you for any insights you can offer.
/mike

Thank you for the follow up...   I am sorry about not responding sooner. For some reason it took a while between the 1st Hotmail error message which said "my email was delayed"   until the 2nd Hotmail message which said my email with the scanned purchase receipt was "not deliverable".   Unfortunately because of my concerns regarding obtaining warranty service on the Lenovo H430,    I have already exchanged the H430 for another computer.    So... since I no longer own the H430 I will not be following up on obtaining the correct email address to transmit the "scanned" purchase receipt to correct the warranty status expiration date. Thank you for taking the time to follow up on this for me.   /mike

Lenovo x220 tablet pc with ubuntu 12.04 Shuts down and starts up unexpectedly

Hi
I bought a lenovo x220 tablet pc and installed ubuntu 12.04 with GNOME 3 a while ago.
It was working fine at first however recently:
1. the computer shutsdown unexpectedly, the shutdown dialog appears (the one that gives you the option of restart, cancel, or shutdown); I try to cancel it however the laptop would just power down (without going through the proper shutdown routine). Once it powers down it would try to reboot on its own but halfway during the reboot it would power down again.
2. At times when I do shutdown normally, I would just close the lid and the computer would start back up again, without my pressing the power button (just moving the monitor makes the computer startup)
In addition I dropped the computer on the battery side at one time and cracked the plastic casing a little. The above mentioned problems still exists when I use the laptop without the battery.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about finding out what's wrong and how to fix it.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hey mate,
sorry to here about that. Here may be a path to the clearing where a possible solution is waiting: Nowadays it is standard to let the pc (or more exactly the power manager of the OS) listen to the ACPI bus for messages like power button pressed and such things. If such a message surfaces and your power manager picks it up it is possible (if you have this configured as an action) that it shuts down you computer or restarts it. To eliminate this possibility you can try one of the following to things:
1. stop your power manager from working
2. get yourself superuser rights and use acpi_listen to listen to the acpi bus (if not working then install "acpid", shut down your power manager and start acpid as service)
3. open your system log (e.g. /var/log/messages) and search for things connected to your power manager or acpi
Please tell me if it worked! If not you could also post the content of your system log for analysis.
Using x230t (i5-3320M, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 80GB mSata-SSD) and loving it!

Lenovo A10 tablet deleting apps and putting them in folders

I recently got a Lenovo A10 tablet and i've been trying to make my home pages less cluttered. Everywhere I look it says to hold an app icon and drag it to the trash can to delete it, but there is no trash can, only and x at the top left of the icon. I get that that is how to delete, but I wonder why every manual and most of the info I googled said there would be a trash can. That isn't really a question, but it seems strange.
That being said, I assume I can't delete apps that don't have an x appear when i hold an icon. Is there a way that i can put them all into a folder? Putting them on top of each other does not seem to work. It does for the deletable apps, but not for most of the others. My android phone has a separate app menu that holds all of the apps and i only need to put the ones i want to see often on the homepage...i guess this tablet does not have this feature?
Thanks anyone who can help!

To make a folder you have "quickly" slide one icon over another. Actually works with a little practice. Until Kitkat, there was a garbage pail at the top of the screen for delete. Now it's very much like BlackBerrey OS 10 -- instead of an X BBerry has a tiny trash pail.

How to root Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 pro

I want to root my Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 pro (android version 4.4.2), but I dont want a bricked device. So, can someone please help me? Send a tutorial, download link..? I would be so greatful, thanks.

just reflash with intel's phone flash tool, and all is getting back to stock. no need to clean or other stuff... just select the flash.xml (not others xml). if you peek inside the file you will see that he is creating and formatting the partitions again so whatever was on your emmc (tablet's equivalent hd) is gone. as long as you didnt mess around with bios reflashing with that xml will get you back in time to the place you were when you first started your tablet (assuming you are flashing the same rom)Lenovo implemented Secure Boot (or as we know it better as 'locked bootloader') so as long you didn't mess with bios (and i don't think you did) theres no way anyone could tell that the tablet was rooted sometime. the rooting method used now is "online" after the secure boot has done his job of starting the kernel.not my case coz i will sodomize my bios to bypass the secboot (i want to install linux and windows, just for fun, and this tablet would be fun for me running linux and a chroot with android, so that I WILL SECURE BOOT android ) and anyways i can get back anytime (worst case i have a flash burner)
