Lenovo Settings Crash

I was able to run the Lenovo Settings app when I first got my Flex 3-1120. There was an update available, I applied it, and the app hasn't worked since. It gets to a prompt asking to share my information, but freezes there. I cannot chose either 'Sure' or 'No,' I can only wait for the app to close itself after sixty seconds or so. I've tried uninstalling the dependency package, rebooting, reinstalling, and rebooting - no avail.I've tried uninstalling the dependency package, uninstalling the Lenovo Settings app, rebooting, reinstalling, rebooting - no avail. Dependecy Package Version: 2.3.1.34 Suggestions? Questions?

I agree with hpholm
the symptom of your described crashes
is your memoryupgrade is the faulty ...
i bet you can easily install all systems xp,mint,ubuntu with the onboard 512 mb memory .. without any fault...
when you plug in the extra memory 2GB stick, the system will crash...
i prefer a corsair memory 2GB 667 MHz ...for the lenovo s series

Windows 8 Freezes after last "Lenovo Settings Update" anytime the pointer goes to a corner

After the most recent "Lenovo Settings Update", my Windows 8 freezes for a few minutes (minimum of two) anytime the pointer hits one of the hot corners. The system also freezes for a couple of minutes or less when certain apps are started or the mouse clicks on certain apps. This is a repeatable error. I can restore the system to the setpoint previous to the "Lenovo Settings Update" and everything works fine. re-Install the update and the problem comes back. The system also freezes for 5-10 seconds when an e-mail message comes in and the notification appears. Also happens under other different circumstances but the worst is when the mouse pointer goes to any "Hot Corner". I can reset the system to the last restore point and have everything work fine but anytime I go to "Lenovo Settings", it forces the update which then creates this problem.
Has anyone else seen this issue? I have all the updates for Windows 8 and Lenovo installed including all new Bios updates that are published. The model is a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge S320u (otherwise known as the "Twist". The error is repeatable in all screen modes, tablet modes and multiple monitor modes.
For now I will go back to the latest restore point but would like to see the issue resolved.
Thanks.
Bob

I had the exact same issue with the same computer (Thinkpad Twist)! Am very happy to have come accross this page through a web search.
After installing some updates through Lenovo Update App (because of a message that critical updates are available on the Lenovo Support App from Startscreen), my whole system would freeze for about two minutes when moving the cursor over any corner. This is very troublesome not only because it effectively disables the Windows 8 "hot corners" (which I didn't use much anyway, preferring to launch the tasks thus accessible differently), but mostly because it is necessary at times to access the corners, notably to close any document, webpage or other instance of any program that was open in full screen (which usually all of my docs/programs are, considering the Twist's small screensize...).
Afer reading rbagnall's post I first tried uninstalling updates through the Lenovo Update center. But there, once installed, updates don't seem to be removable. Why Lenovo? You can look at the list of installed updates but not make any change. Now I have followed rbagnall's advice and restored my computer with a restore point, sufficiently far back, as I didn't know exactly which update caused this. It worked! Not exactly pleasant, because I had to reinstall some programs and change some settings again, but the problem got resolved.
I went further and tried to see which update causes this by installing them one by one and seeing when the problem appears. The culprit seems to be "Display Mode Orientation Update for Windows 8". One needs to install the "Lenovo Power Management Driver" with it (which is actually listed under optional updates, whereas the Display Mode update is shown as a critical one, but the former is selected automatically when the later is chosen, and one cannot unselect it, a message appears then that it is necessary for the other update). So it could be that one as well (haven't checked whether installing it without the Display Mode update creates the same problem). In any case, once these are installed, the problem appears.
I have now restored my PC again to the restore point, and haven't installed any Lenovo update, not even the other critical one, as I don't know what it's for (Critical patch to fix TVSU UTS issue - I haven't had this issue, and any web entries on this I found dated back to 2009). In the optional updates there is also a BIOS update, which I had installed previously, but I don't know what it's for either. If there is anything terribly useful in either (or other optional updates), please tell me.
For now I have uninstalled the Lenovo Support Startscreen App (which seems to be more annoying than helpful), and will refrain from updating any Lenovo drivers from now, which seems to do more harm than good (everything was working fine before the update)...

FN Keys not working - Lenovo Settings error

Hi, I just upgraded to windows 8. I've noticed that my hotkeys are not working or are not working as they used to. These are the problems I'm having:
My mute mic button still lights up and appears to work but no notification is displayed on screen.
Volume buttons still work but it's the windows 8 volume display that shows the volume changes the display not the lenovo on screen display (not much of a big deal).
Mute button works, but I have to press it once then press one of the volume keys to mute and same process to unmute, on screen display also doesn't show. Before I could just press the mute button and my speakers were muted.
Pressing Fn + F6 to open communications utility gives me message that says "This key combination opens the Lenovo Settings program. You do not have the Lenovo Settings program installed on your computer. To launch the using this key combination, install the program first." The thing is, I have access communication installed so it should work. Can someone me?
I having a SL510, I'm running Windows 8 Pro.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Since there is a Windows 8 Settings app available now, and I have it installed, it is bugging me, that I still get the error message telling me "This key combination opens the Lenovo Settings program. You do not have the Lenovo Settings program installed on your computer. To launch the program using this key combination, install the program first".
The App is starting without any problems (but I can see the dialog popping up just before the fullscreen app starts) and I have the latest version and everything works just fine. I also have the latest Lenovo Settings dependencies installed and so on.
In fact there is no "real" problem, except when I leave the app and return to the desktop there is still the dialog I just quoted.
I think its a problem regarding desktop applications and metro apps.
Anything I can do about that?

Lenovo Settings Dependency Package for Windows 8.1 - fails on T440s

Hello everybody,
I just tried to install the Lenovo Settings Dependency Package for Windows 8.1 on my T440s and it repeatedly tells me that it fails because mfplatt.dll is missing. Has anybody experienced that and knows how to proceed in this case?
Thanks for your help

I installed the windows Windows6.3-KB2835517-x64.msu windows media package.
After this, I can restart Lenovo Settings Dependency Package and it works wright, without the error on MFPlat.dll

Mail, Contacts and Calendars in Settings crashes; Contacts app is blank

First issue - since upgrading my iPad2 to iOS5, the Mail, Contacts and Calendars in Settings crashes. All other options in Settings are fine - only issues is with Mail, Contacts and Calenders crashing.
Second issue - I am using iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks. Everything (except Contacts) sync perfectly between my Mac (home), Win7 PC Outlook (work) and iCloud, but I am unable to see the contact data on the iPad. When I open the Contacts app I get the 2 page layout but it is blank with no data, no buttons, no groups and no formatting. After sitting at this blank view for a few seconds it crashes to the Home screen. I know the contact data is in the iPad as contacts can be found through Message, Mail and through the iPad Search. It has not however synced with any changed data.
I have performed a hard reset numerous times, and restored the iPad. I have manually closed the Contacts and Settings apps through the task bar. I have also attempted to manually sync the contact data via USB with my Mac, but Contacts are still out of sync and crashes on launch.
Any advice or solutions appreciated.

Hi UTNick
Seems like there is a few dramas with syncing through iCloud at the moement - hopefully Apple get this sorted with an update ASAP. Im using Outlook 2010 and didnt have any worries at that end, all the unsynced data and crashing was on the iPad. Good lesson in all this, make sure backups are in place - thanksfully I didnt lose any data either.
I managed to fix my sync problems and crashing Settings. Not sure what the specific solution was but it involved -
Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings
Reset iPad to factory and then restore from back-up
Turned off iCloud
Reset my Apple id password
Backed up all my contacts from Mac Contacts and then reimported them
Synced my iPad through iTunes, syncing the contacts (with the option 'Replace everything on the iPad')
Re-enbaled iCloud sync on the iPad
The Mail, Contacts and Calendars panel in Settings no longer crashes, and all my data is again syncing perfectly across the Win7 Outlook 2010, the Mac Contacts app and the iPad Contacts app.
It felt like a bit of a black-magic solution, and I'm still not sure what the underlying cause of my issues was. Fingers crossed it all hangs together until the next iOS update.
Good luck!

IPad 3 Settings crashes when trying to enable iCloud Calendar

Hi all,
Being a Apple fan, I am getting peeved by lack of quality.
I bought the new iPad on launch day in March and the Calendar app has rarely worked. Matter of fact it crashed almost constantly. To try and fix this issue, I had turned off iPad > Settings > iCloud > Off, to try and stem the offending code or sync session. Now when I try to re-enable (turn on) iCloud Calendars on the iPad, the iPad prompts me with a message "Merge Calendars.......Your calendars will be merged with iCloud". When I tap the "Merge" button the iPad Settings app crashes and shuts down. URGH!
I have tried a full restore as recommended in the Support communities; however, no dice. Calendar crashes, and Settings crashes when attempting to re-enable to merge iPad calendar with iCloud.
Anyone have a similiar experience or solution to share?
Thanks,
J

....update.
I found a site that suggested turning off all iPad > Settings > iCloud (services). When prompted to save data on iPad, I tapped "Yes". I then powered down the iPad completely and restarted it. Then it took me two tries to re-enable ONLY the iCloud Calendars setting.
It worked!
Amazing what happens when dick around long enough to make complex device synching work.
Hope this helps others!

There was a problem enabling icloud backup (settings crashes)

I have an iPhone 4S with IOS 7.1.2 and i've been able to backup my phone prior to updating to IOS8.
After installing IOS 8 my phone became really slow and unusable and I went back to iTunes and did a full restore.
I've been able to get everything working again except the iCloud backup.
It was enabled after a fresh install but never actually backed anything up:
"there was a problem with icloud backup" and a daily backup is never performed.
The phone is fully charged
Connected to wifi
Whenever I try to backup manually it also fails.
I tried to disable icloud backup and enable it again but that didn't work either as now SETTINGS crashes everytime I enable the icloud backup setting.
any suggestions?

Make sure to change your backup selection in iTunes to icloud...you can't backup your phone to icloud unless iTunes is set to icloud.

Lenovo Settings - Windows 8.1 App

Hallo zusammen
Habe die App "Lenovo Settings" installiert.
Dieses versucht immer eine Aktualisierung durchzuführen. Diese Aktualisierung wird jedoch nie beendet und ich kann dann die App auch nicht mehr öffnen, sobald die Aktualisierung gestartet wurde. Sie startet automatisch nach jedem OS-Start nach ca. 3min. Selbst wenn ich in der APP die Einstellung für die automatische Aktualisierung deaktiviere, versucht Lenovo Settings die Aktualisierung durchzuführen. Auch die Deinstallation und anschliessend wieder Installation der APP hat keine Besserung gebracht.
Weiss da jemand Rat?

Hallo Yanick,
ich empfehle dir, das aktuellste Settings Dependency Package manuell von der der o.g. Downloadseite zu installieren. Du kannst dann diese Komponente als Grund ausschließen, warum sich das automatische Update der Settings-App nicht installieren lässt.
Die Versions-Änderungen sind weiter unten auf der Downloadseite aufgeführt:
Version 2.3.2.27
(Fix) Fail to launch Fingerprint reader SW on Fingerprint reader section click.
(Fix) The "Privacy" mode of camera is turned on unexpectedly after sleep or hibernation.
(Fix) Sound Effect profiles may not be controlled properly while voice communication is active.
(Fix) Camera Plus features may not work after the system shutdown.
(Fix) Sound Effect profile setting may not be recovered after changed automatically.

5 crashes after upgrade to ios my address book immediately and I can not access emails, because the password is wrong and when I go to mail settings crashes the application immediately from

Same issue also. Occurring both on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 after upgrading to ios 5
By the way, Mattban and Sancasslano, are either of you also experiencing any of the following issues:
* Problems with Contacts either crashing or listing no names
* Problems with turning iCloud on or off for application under Settings->iCloud... On both mine I just get a pop up saying that iCloud is being turned off but Contacts then just locks up.
* General problems when trying to synch applications on the iPad or iPhone over iCloud?
I am wondering if all these issues are in someway related to and whether it is worth trying to turn off iCloud somehow, though I cannot work out how this can be done once set up.

Aplicacion Lenovo Settings no arranca

Hola!
Hoy al intentar arrancar la aplicación Lenovo Settings descubro que no abre.
He desinstalado la aplicación y reinstalado las dependencias (Lenovo Settings Dependency Package for Windows 8.1 (32-bit, 64-bit), 8 (32-bit, 64-bit) - Laptop) y vuelvo a instalar la aplicación desde la tienda de microsoft y sigue igual.
¿Como se soluciona este problema?
Mi equipo es un Lenovo B590 con Windows 8.1
Gracias por vuestra atención.

Quizás quitando la app y quitando el setting dependecy para verificar si existe alguna actualización de Windows en general e intentar de nuevo con la instalación.
Cuando utilizas la app de Lenovo esta te indica que descargues settings dependency te indica esto?.
Sucede lo mismo de que se quede colgada con alguna otra app?.
De las funciones que ofrece Lenovo settings que es lo que necesitas de ella?, para algunos modelos esta es limitada solo poder controlar ciertos aspectos de audio, micrófono, hostpot, planes de energía aunque solo es un acceso que te lleva a las configuraciones de Windows que ahora se encarga de esto para tu ordenador.
Un saludo.

Mail App and Mail, Contacts and Calendar Settings Crashing

After upgrading to 2.1 on 3G...
I posted a response to a post for Mail settings problem here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1708101&tstart=0 but noticed that after restarting my phone now the Mail application crashes and in some cases the Contacts app if open more than 10 seconds.
I've noticed a few posts and possible fixes on the forums like updating the Region but none of those solutions worked for me. I'm hoping an Apple "Genius" would read this and offer a fix!

I'm having a similar issue;
I go into Settings -> Email, contacts, etc.
Then i scroll to almost the very bottom. I see the first two items of "Calendar settings", but if I scroll further settings crash and I'm shoved back to the homescreen. EXTREMELY frustrating since I'm in sweden and the time zone is london I think - all my meetings are pushed 1 hour ahead.
I have an iPhone 3G with the latest 2.1 firmware.

Mobile Hotspot in Lenovo Settings does not start sharing

I have a X1 Carbon running Win 8 64. The Mobile Hotspot used to work when I got the system for couple of months. It is very useful when staying at hotels which allow only one device per login ID. I usually update drivers on regular basis using System Update 5.02. At one point I noticed that Mobile Hotspot will not start sharing. My network adapter is set to share the connection and I also disabled the Intel Connection Utility that came with one of the WiFi adapter updates. Updated Lenovo Dependency Package and Lenovo Settings Dependency Package several times. Still, the problem persists.
Any ideas? Thanks
Just updated one more time. After Start Sharing does not go anywhere a message comes, "Failed to start Internet connection sharing. Please check if another application is hosting or check your network setting"

I had an X230 with Mobile Hotspot. I found that the Intel application had to be enabled for Lenovo Hotspot to work. Hotspot woudl error out if Intel was not running. Enable the Intel Application, restart the computer and then run System Update again. After all that, restart and test again.

W530 with windows 8.1 - how to enter Lenovo settings app?

I made the big mistake of putting 8.1 on my W530. I have manged to banish 99% of metro and its apps, to turn the machine back into a developers work station, but one thing I have not worked out how to deal with is the levovo settings. I can launch it, and it launches a metro window, but it says "an update is available for this app" or simlar, and gives a ok and cancel button. Theither buttons are clickable, and there is no way to "exit" or run this app, or to update it. I have all automatic updates switched on, but I can find no way to actaully update this god forsaken metro abomination to use it.
I would pay if someone brought out the essential lenovo apps as proper desktop apps for windows 8, like they are for windows 7. Why would lenovo abandon its desktop power users?

When you start Lenovo Settings for the first time, it will notify you of the missing dependency package and launch your default browser straight to its download location. But since you removed 99% of the ModernUI apps, I'm guessing you broke some links in the process, thus it doesn't launch for you.
To my knowledge, the TVSU doesn't fetch this package, and shouldn't, because not everyone uses the Lenovo Settings app, and therefore it's controlled by the Settings app itself through its Auto-Update functionality.

Automatische Aktualisierungen Lenovo Settings

Auf meinem neuen Rechner (Lenovo Z70) führt Lenovo Settings "Automatische Aktualisierungen" aus, "Aktualisierungen werden installiert. Bitte warten ..." Nun das geht so seit Stunden und kommt mir komisch vor.Brauche ich dieses Programm überhaupt oder kann ich es runterschmeißen? Für was ist das gut?Über eine hilfreiche Antwort freue ich mich sehr

Hallo pegasos, willkommen im Forum.
Lenovo Settings ist eine Lenovo-eigene Systemsteuerung mit schnellem Zugriff auf die System- und Geräteeinstellungen. Deinstalliere die App am besten nochmal per Rechtsklick auf die Kachel im Startbildschirm. Danach kannst du die App wieder aus dem Windows Store installieren.
Dort gibt es auch noch eine kurze Beschreibung, was die App überhaupt kann:
http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/de-de/app/lenovo-settings/3078e868-a336-4a13-af40-8f37982cf591
Bitte teile uns mit, ob die automatische Aktualisierung nach der Neuinstallation wieder festhängt.
Gruß - Sebastian
