New Yoga 3 Pro owner

Hello all, I just made the switch from Mac to Windows and purchased a new Yoga 3 Pro and I love it. I want to remove some of the pre-loaded programs and apps, but am not sure what to keep and what to trash. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! P.S. if you have any recommendations on programs, feel free to let me know!

Hi muhith, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
There should be no clicking. Sounds like it's coming from the area of the fan?
Since it's brand new your choices are to return to the seller and exchange, or contact Lenovo support for repair. I would try the former first if it's still within the return and exchange period.
Hope this helps!
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

Warranty expires on new Yoga 2 pro

Hello, so I bougth new Yoga 2 Pro from a local dealership on 2015-06-13. Recently I registered my pc using Companion app and saw that my warranty will expire in one month. It says: Start date: 2014-06-27, End date: 2015-08-25. I asked the shop about it and they said its ok, I still will be able to use my warranty with papers they gave me then I bought it.To honest I would bother about these things but laptop feels really slow with i7 proccesor, it lags and just feels like old pc. My four year old gaming laptop runs alot better...So basicly how do I know if they sold me used Yoga 2 Pro and what should I do with my warranty? Have a nice day!

Welcome to the Lenovo Community !
No, you were not sold a used computer. With retail sales Lenovo will start the warranty date on the day the retailer purchased their shipment of computers. Generally Lenovo will add an additional month to the warranty to compensate for the time the computer sat unsold in a warehouse or on the store's shelf. In your situation the computer sat longer than expected. Not a problem. Just use the email link below to contact the Lenovo Sales Team and report the warranty date problem. Be sure to include a scan of your sales receipt or invoice. The Sales Team will then adjust your warranty starting date accordingly.

No Keyboard backlight and flashing Pixels New Yoga 2 Pro

Picked up my new Yoga 2 Pro 13 from BB last night with the i7 and 8gig of ram. Ive been waiting months for this thing to come back in stock and Im getting sad.
So far Ive noticed about 20 flashing pixels in various places in the screen. No bright or dead pixels, these guys are flickering. Some are single but I have some groups as well. They are super noticable in the LENOVO screen at boot, in GRUB while loading Ubuntu and In my black wall paper in Win8 so I dont think its a software issue. Also my Yellows are muddy as hell even with the rocket, but thats common I know.
Also I cannot get my keyboard backlight to come on. I have updated all my drivers, Im running the current bios, and Ive reloaded windows8 once already. No backlight in BIOS, Win8, or Ubuntu. Ive tried turning it on with Fn+Space, Ive tried disabling and reenabling hotkeys in the BIOS as well.
Im trying to avoid returing it as this was the last one availble in the state apparently and who knows when they will come back in stock but I wont keep a broken computer either. Any Help?

I think your right. I was hoping there would be some solution in the community thats just like " oh yea run this utility and hold your tongue to the left while you press ctrl+alt+shift+~+esc and it will turn everything back on and refresh your pixels

Problems with new Yoga 2 Pro (battery, fan noise, yellow, screen orientation, on-screen keyboard)

I purchased the Yoga Pro 2 on Thursday October 17. I love the computer for so many reasons, (especially since it replaces my 4 year old Compaq that was 6.5lbs!) however, I am also having a few issues with it.
It is the i7/8GB/256GB model from BestBuy. I am experiencing the same yellow issue as is mentioned by many on here. I didn't realize it, though, until reading these forums and then comparing to my old computer and my ipad and iPhone. A little disappointed, though it looks like Lenovo may be working on a solution.
But the real reason I originally came to look at this forum is because of 2 things: my fan and battery.
The fan (on the right side of the keyboard) is always on! I didn't expect this, and am wondering if mine is a lemon or if others are noticing the same thing. It's pretty noticeable, especially in a quiet room. I was showing off my new computer to a friend and the very first thing she said was that it was loud! She was using a MacBook pro, which wasn't making any noise at all.
The second thing is the battery... I am attaching 4 photos all taken within a few minutes of each other. If you cant see them, they are all of the battery meter on my screen. I am listing the time of day (to show how much time passed), percent remaining, and time remaining:
10:04 (88%) 306 hr 15 min
10:05 (88%) 8 hr 48 min
10:09 (86%) 4 hr 54 min
10:29 (81%) 5 hr 12 min
I feel like my computer just cant make up its mind!!
Another issue I had... I turned on my computer to show it to a friend (same friend who said it was noisy) and the screen image wouldn't flip when in any of the modes. This means I showed her the stand mode with an upside down image. Even in tablet mode I couldn't get it to flip. I turned the computer off and then on again, and luckily it decided to work, but it was frustrating, and I hope it's not something that becomes an issue.
Also, when I have the computer in tablet mode, the keyboard automatically pops up when I click somewhere to type... but this doesn't happen in stand mode or tent mode. Is this normal? I would have thought that the keyboard would appear in any of those modes, since the real keyboard is not accessible in any of them. And of course now that I am testing it out while writing this, none of the modes (including tablet) is having the keyboard come on screen. Of course, I know I can always choose the icon on the task bar to bring up the keyboard, but it would be nice if the computer did it automatically since it knows there is no other keyboard accessible in those modes. Is this an issue anybody else has had?
I really do enjoy using this computer, but some of these issues really need to get worked out if I am going to keep it. I'd love to hear if anyone is experiencing anything similar, and if there are any good fixes!

I just got a Lemontine Yoga 2 Pro i5/8GB/256GB from lenovo.com and the silver one from BestBuy in the same configuraiton. The silver one has no issues except for the crazy number of hours remaining on the battery which is fine, doesn't bother me. The fan noise is very quiet, and you can only hear it if you put your ear up to the vents in a quiet room.
Now the Clementine one...It was heating up pretty good. I put my ear to it on many occasions and can hear nothing at all, the fan is either missing LOL or doesn't work. I had an issue where I left the thing on for 4 hours, but sleep is configured after 5 hours. When I tried to use it, it showed me the screen brielfy, then blank. Tried hard reset, called Support, nothing. Support says its dead. Ok, an hour later, it turned on. I'm guessing it was too hot and was in some mode to protect itself, like a smartphone that is left out in the sun for some time, it won't power on till its cooled down.
I'm still in process of trying to get a hold of Lenovo to swap it, but since they no longer sell this configuration, I doubt they'll be able to get me a new one.
The silver one from BestBuy us solid though, love it, best in class in my opinion...actually got it from Future Shop sorry...from Canada, but they're essentially the same store.

SSL authentication using client certificate failing on a fresh new Yoga 2 Pro

I am a doctor and using a laptop to login into an SSL server for secure communication.
I was using an old asus with win 8.1 without a problem. 2 weeks ago I got my new Y2P installed the certificate I got from the IT guys and all worked like a charm! What a wonderful laptop.
And then, my SSD vanished suddently from the system could not boot, so I replaced the first Yoga with and identical one from the store. This time- win 8.1 an IE cannot recognize the newly issued ceertificte and getting an SSL error so cannot open the htpps website.
Tried onekey recovery, isntalling all windows updates, using a new user nothing works. Back to the old ASUS all working fine. The IT guys said they never had such a problem, after hundreds of certificates issued the same way.
First Y2P worked without a glitch second one does not.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem with my new Yoga Pro 2 when trying to connect to some https sites that worked fine with my previous computer. I asked a friend that's a systems administrator for help and he had me look for marketing / adware type software that came pre-installed on my machine. He warned me that more and more new computers are coming pre-loaded with this type of software that many people would consider malware. He said that such software can cause this type of problem because of how it sits inbetween you and the sites you visit (how your information passes through it).
I found Superfish Visual Discovery, which fits this description, was pre-installed on my machine. As soon as I uninstalled it my https connection problems went away. You should check your list of installed programs (go to your Control Panel > Progams > Programs and Features). If you see "Superfish Inc. VisualDiscovery" in your list of installed programs, that is likely the casue of the problem (at least it was for me). Hope this helps...

Dear Yoga 2 Pro owners - should I buy this for business use?

I'm a Lawyer and looking for an ultra book to do the majority of my work on.
My only requirements are good keyboard and trackpad, durability, high quality screen to make reading and creating documents as friendly on the eyes as possible, great wireless connection, speed, and for it to last hopefully 2 years before needing an upgrade.
I use acrobat pro and office 2013 extensively.
Will the Yoga 2 Pro be a good choice for me, or should I wait for the thinkpad x1 carbon to be released in my country? (UK).
Thanks for any help you can provide

The 1800p resolution is a gimmick since programs are not really capable with this resolution. That said, you will probably reduce the resolution to at least 1080p or worst. I use 900p because some programs even struggle with 1080p.
This model has wifi issues which is present on certain models of routers using 2.4 ghz band. Many have been lucky to be around new routers. However, you cannot tell a hotel, airport or coffee shop to change the router just for you. I personally suffer from wifi issue at my school. I have already made a batch file to reconnect instantly but, this is utter BS for a $1200+ laptop (don't forget tax).
The yellow issue is better but not perfect. In some modes, the mustered color is still present. I solved the issue by deleting those power plans from my computer. However, this is not an acceptable solution. That said, even on the fixed power plan, there is a slight green tint on the yellow. Also, Microsoft Office yellow (like the highlighter) looks like crap on all power plans.
The backlight on the keyboard is really dull compared to many backlit keyboards.
The trackpad deselects what you selects, if you crank up the trackpad speed. For me, the default speed is too slow. (However, it can be fixed by using a dell driver)
The micro HDMI slot is too recessed. You will need to buy special cables or cut your cables to fit the yoga.
The SD slot has little depth. This means there is not a SD card in the market that will sit flush with the laptop. This is a deal breaker if you want to have an SD card act as a semi-permanent extra storage solution.
The trackpad is a grease magnet and will look bad within 72 hours of use.
You cannot lock this version of OKR. This means that unlike the previous version (which cannot be installed), anyone can be a di** and reformat your computer with a push of a button.
The fan goes crazy within about 30 min of light use.
The screen flickers at low brightness.
Almost everyone has light bleed on their screen, to some degree.
It is impossible to clean smudge marks on the yoga's back shell.
There is an overheating issues when the yoga is placed inside a bag, while in sleep mode.
The edges chip easily.
The Bluetooth constantly disconnect and a Bluetooth mouse is practically un-usable, useless you have a USB receiver (taking up 1 of 2 USB ports).
Speaking of which, 2 USB ports.... Really? Also, why can't they both be USB 3.0? Or the USB 2.0 also be an eSATA/USB combo jack?
Part of the keyboard driver, built into the Utility.exe file of the Power Management software, sucks. There are certain keys that will do nothing 1/2 the time they are pressed. The airplane mode key is one of them.
Lenovo custom install makes upgrading to a different version of windows difficult. To upgrade to Windows 8.1. Pro for example, you will need to jump through hoops and suffer from a failed update(s) to actually get Windows 8.1 Pro. I am lucky the feature I wanted works (in spite of the failed updates) but, I would not be surprise if certain features don't work since the upgrade failed 3x.
Oh and if you are a Dargon users, I hope you don't plan on updating your program. However, I will leave it at that since software can be uninstalled, like the buggy phone companion software (which sporadically works on limited ICS versions and rare JB versions).

Dismal performance of new Yoga 3 pro (with Win 8.1): will Win 10 improve it?

Dear all, As I said in another topic, coming from years of Macbooks, I just bought a new Yoga pro 3 (the version with the latest processor, 8Go am, 512 G SSD) and I find it very slow in daily usage. I usually have Chrome, Outlook open all the time as well as Evernote and when I try to play Hearthstone in the mean time, it gets very slow: the game (which i not very demanding) lags (and not because of internet issues), and if I want to switch to Chrome and browse, it is agonizingly slow. Sometimes, I even have the impression that loading pages is slower than on my Maacbook (tried both at work where the Wifi is quite fast and at home). I have run onekey optimizer, removed some unecessary programs like MacAfee (truthfully, I have added stuff in the background like Avast, Listary, launchy but nothing big...) I wonder what else I can do to improve the performan. Maybe remove Aero? Also, how can I checck the performance ? I looked at system monitor while the system was slow and it was telling me that the processor was used at something like 80% but nothing more, and memory about 50%. I am wondering wether installing Windows 10 might improve the performance. Any feedback? Thanks for your help!I have to admit that I am a bit dispirited and I am considering sending it back (and maybe try a Dell XPS, because I really would like to try Windows 10). I don't have huge computing needs anymore (apart from some excel of Rstudio from times to times, but I haven't even tried that on the Yoga...) but if even those needs cannot be satisfied...

Specifically Chrome, Windows 10 is a huge improvement. This may be due to the improvements with DPI scaling and GPU optimizations.
I've done a couple of custom, highly not recommended changes to see if I can get around the thermal limitations of the system, but it looks like it can only be tweaked through a UEFI update. In the end, disabling the thermal system in the BIOS aided the throttling impact.
The performance sits solely on the Core M chip. Used in other machines (noteably, the Macbook 2015), this architecture has been criticized for sacrificing performance for its low power profile. However, this is also its greatest benefit. I can watch Netflix on my Y3P for at least 5 hours on battery, where other machines would maybe give me 2 hours. When a program uses the hardware acceleration on the HD 5300 built into the CPU, it works great. It's no performance GPU, however, it handles format decoding amazingly. However, if there's an app not optimized for GPUs, the CPU has to render a display with a resolution of 3200x1800, 4 times the size of a 1600x900 display. This is why Chrome is honestly a disaster in Windows 8.1. It's not optimized for Intel GPUs.
If you want to stick with Windows 8.1, try using IE. You'll lose add-on support, but it runs great. If you move to Windows 10, Microsoft Edge will be getting add-on support in the future.

New Yoga 2 Pro BIOS 76CN41WW 01/20/15

It looks like Lenovo released a new BIOS update for the Y2P.
BIOS Page
Summary of changes
==================
General Information:
76CN41WW
1. Add security patch for UEFI

Shortly after the release of v1.5.0.23 in December that version was replaced by our good old 1.0.1.51
Seems that 'newer' version was a miss:
version numbering was very strange and the yellow mustard was back again; bad QC by Lenovo.
Still I see much better yellow reproduction on laptops that use the same Samsing pentile display.
So I hope they will come up with a beter Energy 'Manager'.
And a BIOS that supports more different SSDs and WLAN cards.

Yoga 2 Pro - Screen not rotating on new Windows 8.1 install

I got my new Yoga 2 Pro last week and the screen rotation worked properly.
I decided to wipe the partitions and install my own version of Windows 8.1.
Since then the screen rotation doesn't work. The screen rotation button doesn't do anything and I don't have the 'Enable auto-rotate' checkbox in the resolution screen
In my device manager I have an error on 'HID Sensor collection' saying "This decice cannot start" (Code 10). Failed to initialize sensor from HID collection descriptor". I am not sure if this is related.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I was able to fix my problem and would like to share the solution with others in case this also happens to you.
I basically installed this Media package (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42503) and after that the auto-rotate check, button and functions works properly.
Hope this can also helps others.

Yoga 2 Pro audio jack problem

Greetings,
Please know that I am not tech-savvy....at all! I have been researching this prpblem for about a week, and did find some posts here that are similar to my problem but the 'fix' didn't work I have owned my new Yoga 2 Pro 64 bit with Windows 8.1 (which I am not really enamored with) for two months. All was working fine until last week. I had been using the headset which had not given me any problems. But when, the next day, I plugged a larger speaker into the audiojack, as I'd done before with no problems, no sound came out. I realized that it was my laptop and not the speaker or the cable, and the speakers in the computer were workig fine.
Yesterday I plugged the headset jack in just to see if it would work, and suddenly it did--as did the larger speaker I plugged this Yoga 2 into. But there is no sound at all if there is nothing plugged into it, i.e. no headset or external speakers are plugged in and when I play something with sound, there is none.
Additionally, the screen warning comes on and goes off at random times, stating that I just unplugged an audio device, or that I just plugged in an audio device--neither of which I did at all..
What to do? I ran the test where I clicked on device manager, sound game etc, realtech etc, and it sai the driver is the correct one and does not need to be updated.
Thank you.

Yoga 2 Pro Touch screen not working

I've had no problems with my yoga 2 pro for over a month, but last night I decided to do windows updates. This is the model with the i7, and 8gb of ram. I let it update and then restarted it. After it started up, I tried to swipe the cover screen up, but nothing was happening. I then decided to use the mouse, and soon realized that the touch screen was unresponsive. I've tried to restore the computer to before the updates, but it hasn't fixed the problem. I can still switch to tablet and stand mode, etc. and the screen will rotate, but I can not get the touch screen to respond to anything. I tried to install some drivers, but none of them are for the touch screen as far as I know, and nothing else seems to work. Does anyone know a fix, or maybe know of a driver I need to install?

Hey mgollery,
Sorry that you are having this issue. Do you know what might have caused this at least? Did you plug in any USB devices recently or does the touchscreen disable after you plug it in? Did you install any programs recently? Do you have the most updated drivers? Do you leave it on long enough for it to go into sleep mode?
Btw, you should check out this other thread here:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tablets-and/Yoga-touchscreen-not-working/td-p/902131/...
Some people got it working by uninstalling recently installed software, updating video card drivers, and others have just had to get it replaced.
If none of the uninstalls, updates, drivers stuff works, I would do the following (like the others have said in this list), but please be careful (stuff might break):
- Do a system restore (to a point where it worked before)
- If that doesn't work, do a windows refresh
- If that doesn't work, I'd call Lenovo and see what tech support can do to help. They will try to update stuff for you and if that doesn't work, they will literally try to reset your computer basically to factory settings (Lenovo actually has their own program that tries to reset stuff)
- If that doesn't work, and you can't live without a touchscreen, I'd call up Lenovo or if you are still on the phone with them, get them to replace it. They handle all the shipping and while it sucks to not have it for a couple of weeks, you at least get the computer you paid for.
Ultimately, what happened to me was that none of the little tricks worked. System restore didn't work. Windows refresh didn't work. Then I called them and they basically told me to do the same things. This time though, during the refresh, some bug happened where it screwed up the refresh so I couldn't even start Windows anymore and it bricked my computer. Then they even had me go through the Lenovo refresh thingy which didn't work. At the end, I ended up shipping it back to them to fix and I think they basically just gave me a new Yoga 2 Pro. The whole process sucked, but at least now my touchscreen works and I never plug my fitbit into the USB port anymore.
Hope that helps.

Yoga 3 pro : problem connecting to HD TV with micro/mini HDMI to HDMI

I purchased a YOGA 3 PRO (512GB) and couldn't be happier with how light and slim this jewel is. The CPU works fast and overall it's a gret UltraBook.
BUT
I just can't connect my Yoga 3 Pro to my TV. I purchased this Ultra Book at BEST BUY (this model is apparently an "exclusive" of Best Buy), and since I knew i need to connect it to an external monitor to do real work on photoshop, I also purchased an INSIGNIA micro-HDMI to HDMI cable.
As shown below, my 32" HD TV (one of the latest models from LG / ref. 32LB5800) is recognized by Windows 8.1 and the INTEL HD Graphics 5300 Display driver (which i updated to the latest version 10.18.10.3960), but unfortunately the TV says "NO SIGNAL".
Link to image
I've tried to connect the Insighnia mini-HDMI to HDMI cable in all 3 HDMI inputs on my TV, but same pathetic result. The first input is HDMI ARC, the second one is regular HDMI and the third one is for mobile devices (HDMI MHL), but all 3 returned the same "NO SIGNAL".
So I figured maybe it was the TV. Thus i plugged my Yoga 3 Pro to a Pioneer Plasma TV that was about 3-4 years old, straight to one of HDMI inputs and same thing, no image. However, Windows 8.1 found the TV and even suggests the ideal resolution.
In both cases the TV model was found by Windows 8.1 and shown under the "Screen Resolution" menu. I selected "Extend these displays" to use the TV as a main monitor, but of course this doesn't help the case.
So i started digging this forum and read a lot of coomplaints about the previous version of the YOGA PRO and that the micro-HDMI plug was poorly designed and the cable connector needed to be "trimmed" a little by 1mm or so to allow it plug fully into the port. So i tried that too, and even though i succesfully removed 1mm of rubber around my Insignia cable connector, it didn't help whatsoever since apparently, the new YOGA 3 PRO doesn't have this issue any longer, its design solved indeed that weakness of its predecessor.
So I'm asking: what the hell is the problem then? it's driving me crazy. I've literrally spent the past 6 hours trying to figure it out, but without any success. This forum has ZERO post about a problem of connection of a YOGA 3 PRO to an HDTV. I know it's a very recent model, but still, I can't believe to be the only one experiencing this issue.
If I don't find a solution quickly I'm afraid I'll have no other choice but to return it. It's unbelievable that both the latest iterations of the LENOVO YOGA PRO are having issues (likely different) connecting to an HD TV using the mini/micor HDMI port.
Not sure if this is a hardware or software problem, but LENOVO better get their act together and fix this stat!
UPDATE: i also noticed that when the cable is plugged into the micro-HDMI port, there's no more sound on the ultrabook. I played a video while the cable was plugged in and NO SOUND. I'm not sure if this is normal or not. I would assume connecting the Yoga 3 Pro with the cable into the TV makes it believe that the sound shall be directed towards the TV now, hence the disabled sound on the Ultrabook, even though on the receiving side, the TV still doesn't get any signal from that cable, neither video nor audio.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

well it turned out the culprit was the INSIGNIA Micro-HDMI to HDMI cable sold by Best Buy. I tried another cable brand and now it's working just fine! Go figure...

Yoga 3 pro - WIFI low signal

On a brand new Yoga 3 PRO 1370 -
I am getting very low WIFI signal on all my routers.
Compared side by side : Think pad yoga and yoga 3 pro - the first one have full bars on signal , the 3 pro have only 1-2 bars and disconnect all the time.
Only when the laptop is very close to the router - getting full signal bars.
Already removed and update the drivers twice . tried all configurations and power options - still very very low signal reception.
Any ides ?

Yoga 2 Pro Draining Battery Fast in Sleep Mode

I have a new Yoga 2 Pro with i7 processor. It works great and normal battery life is about 4-5 hours. But with a fully charged battery, i can close the lid at night triggering sleep mode, and wake up to an almost dead battery.
Why is this happening? It's really dissapointing and I'm going to return it if I can't find a fix. I'm on the latest BIOS with all current updates. I am not using Hibernate mode.
Closing the lid shoud not cause battery to continue to drain at normal usage rates.
I'm hoping it's the WINDOWS 8 software but I've tried all the settings I can find.

the OP said battery was draining overnight because y2p was not going into sleep mode. then op changed some settings and, as i understand it, now his y2p does not drain battery overnight because he pushes power button and it goes into hibernate mode before closing lid.
I would like to raise the issue of the difference between hibernate and sleep mode. I too find that if i put my y2p (and my mbp-bootcamp) into hibernate mode then my battery does not drain overnight. however, both my laptops drain the battery overnight in sleep mode... anyone have clear understanding of this? i've look at many articles on the web, but haven't found any that specifically indicate how fast sleep mode should drain batteries. I think my gf's mba-OSx also drains overnight in sleep mode and OSx doesn't even have a hibernate option (correct me if i'm wrong)...

Energy Manager interface with Outlook on Yoga 2 Pro

I have a new Yoga 2 Pro and also have Outlook installed with two mail profiles defined. Whenever a reboot the machine I get a mail popup asking which profile I want to use. I have turned off the option in settings to use outlook so I'm not sure why this is still happening. I know it is energy manager because if I uninstall it it goes away. I need energy manager however for the yellow issue and the battery conservation mode.
Any help is appreciated.

This problem has been a pain-in-the-neck to me. Every hour, suddenly up pops a prompt for an Outlook password.
To partially deal with it, I wrote a very simple Python program that I start at system startup and runs every two seconds afterwards. It checks to see if there is an Outlook password prompt pending without the main Outlook window open behind it. If it finds this situation, the program clicks the Cancel button on the Outlook password prompt dialog box.
Here is the Python program (give it a pyw suffix so it doesn't clutter up your system with a window):
import os, sys, glob, time
import win32gui as w32
from win32con import *
if __name__=="__main__":
    INTERVAL_DELAY = 2
    while True:
        hwndPswdDlg = w32.FindWindow(None, "Outlook Data File Password")
        hwndOutlkWindow = w32.FindWindowEx (None, None, "rctrl_renwnd32", "Microsoft Outlook")
        if (hwndPswdDlg != 0 and hwndOutlkWindow == 0): # password window without main Outlook window
            w32.PostMessage(hwndPswdDlg, WM_COMMAND, IDCANCEL, 0) # press cancel button
        time.sleep(INTERVAL_DELAY)
