Otg support for lenovo yoga 8

Hi,
I tried 2 to 3 otg cables for my tablet to use standard keyboard and mouse but otg icon is not displayed in my tablet. Can you suggest me otg cable that is compatible with lenovo yoga 8 tab.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Naveen

You don't say what firmware version is currently installed, but after I received the _028_ OTA update for my Yoga 10, I lost all USB functionality, including otg. I also lost the ability to charge while the unit was on, but I may have found a work around for that. I'll be documenting that in a separate thread for others who experienced "slow charging" after the OTA KitKat update(s).

Suggestions for sturdiest cases for Lenovo Tab 2 A10 tablet?

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a Lenovo Tab 2 A10 tablet and I'm also looking to get a sturdy case to put it in. The sturdier case (like military grade even) the better. I looked up many sites that all show cases for the Galaxy Tab 2. It looks pretty much the same in size, but I could make out judging only by the photos if all the port holes were also compatible with the Lenovo tablet. I'll also contact Lenovo customer support to see if the recommend a list of cases, but right now I was wandering if anyone knows/owns of a sturdy case that could do the trick. thanks.

Omg, where do I begin? First of all I can't even bring up the **bleep** keyboard to type this response. I'm using the tablet right now to type this message in another application so I can cut and paste. Lenovo Tab 2 A7-10F Android 5.01 Lollipop ROM bugs: 1. Update initially soft bricked the tablet at boot. (Hard Reset required (Power button + Volume Down boots into recovery mode) [Fixed issue] 2. Dolby sound was VERY low. (Wiped all Dolby app data) [Fixed issue] 3. Poor Wi-Fi reception & range. (Seriously you have to be right next to the **bleep** source of the Wi-Fi signal or else it's slow as F****. [Unresolved issue] 4. Bluetooth connection issues. Paired devices take forever to sync, I have to reboot the tablet and reboot the Bluetooth device or Remove the device and Pair it again from scratch. [Unresolved Issue] 5. In portrait mode regardless of the application in use the front facing camera, if oriented on the right hand, side turns the screen off briefly several times until you rotate the screen into landscape then it stops. I can't begin to tell you how F**** annoying this is and it happens often. This tablet does not have a proximity sensor and I theorize is using the crappy camera adhoc to shut the screen off. [Unresolved issue] Looking back I should have purchased a Nexus 9. I wasted more time and gray hair than I expected and still have issues unresolved. I will never purchase another Lenovo Tablet.

Support for Lenovo tablet A7-40 ?

Hi all,
Recently bought a A7-40 lenovo tablet since then got a few firmware update.
Now i'd really like to know if this tablet will get an upgrade to Lollipop because it's a pretty recent tablet.
Why Lenovo don't provide official image of the android system for each of their tablet and don't provide official roadmap of their upgrade plan ?
Feel like Lenovo means "selling a lot of products and then drop the support".
If any Lenovo officials stops by, a little answer would be appreciated !

Unfortunately your video is private....I can't watch it.
That being said...There's nothing wrong with your tablet,just got updated to Android 4.4 and Lenovo's Android 4.4 new UI=User Interface(you were running Android 4.2 before).
On the old 4.2 UI to remove/uninstall an app you had to long press on the app's icon and drag it to that RUBBISH ICON.
Now on the new UI(and on Android 4.4 devices in general) things are a lot simpler: Just long press on the desired app icon and then press the ''X'' situated on the upper left side of the icon.....That's it....No more ''RUBBISH ICON'' on Android 4.4 KitKat.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Subtitle Support for Lenovo Beacon

Hello,
I have bought a lenovo beacon NAS device to stream movies to my LG 42LA691S tv. Streaming works ok, but I'm unable to see the subtitles for the movies even though the subtitle name is the same as the movie name.
Is there a way to activate the subtitles from the included twonky media server?
Thanks!

RETRACTING MY SUPPORT for Lenovo (Repair Complaint)

Based on its warranty repairs service, Lenovo offers incompetent customer service and I will make sure all those around me avoid the company in the future.
I bought my Yoga 2 13 recently, and the touchpad was defective upon opening. I could not even see the cursor flickering on the screen. After confirming that this was not a software issue and most definitely a hardware defect, I got the service request processed and shipped the laptop off via FedEx to Texas shortly. I had heard about the subpar service people experience with the depot. I even considered using my computer with an external USB mouse for the remainder of its life. But why am I getting a not totally functional "new" unit when I paid good money for it?
FedEx shipping is great. No complaints there. I was promised 2-day shipping, and it was delievered within the time frame. THIS is what a good business does.
LENOVO, on the other hand, processed my repair only to come up with a "Your PC is currently on hold due to a service parts shortage." Parts ETA in Sept.! Lenovo will hold my computer for another 2-3 months while I've only had it for less than 2 days. At this point, I paid for a product that is still more Lenovo's possession than it is mine. If this is how Lenovo does business, then I don't want it. Since you want your product so much, take it. Give me back my money. I'll take it to a company that actually earns it.
For those of you who have successfully escalated your case to get a refund, please share what you did. I want a full refund. None of that whatever% restocking fee. Why don't you restock my time wasted on dealing with this? If Lenovo cannot uphold such an exchange for a product still a month into warranty, then I want the laptop back on my doorstep in the next 2 days so I can obtain a fair tradeback with the reseller. I refuse to believe that it takes 3 months for a company specializing in computers to get computer parts. Either the same parts are scarce because of repeat defects or the repair department is still struggling with keeping inventory. Both reflect poorly on post-sales. This is unacceptable.
I look forward to hearing from the community. If Lenovo doesn't resolve this soon, then I look forward to resolving it through other legal means.

If I'm not mistaken, it appears bgriffin2 has taken the necessary steps to escalate my case. Now I'm awaiting confirmation and response from someone able to authorize a refund/resolution.

S205 :Sad with Lenovo Driver support for Win 8

Sorry for my bad english, but I need to tell you my frustrating experience.
Due to low cost new windows 8 OS 64bit, I buy a lincense for mine Lenovo S205, conforted with some new Driver updated for 8 on Lenovo site.
I saw something strange in the Driver's page for ex. the wireless driver is called Cybertan\LiteOn and we have a Ralink RT 3090 wifi module.(or in some market Atheros AR9285)... Hummm realy strange.
I cross my fingers, I pray god and I start downloadin ALL the driver and start upgrading my system.
At restart I have my new Win8 64bit system and thank of god the most important driver (Ralink wifi) was autodetected and recognized by Win8 whitout install the strange Cybertan\LiteOn from Lenovo that doubt was working in a ralink device.
But at this point strarts the big issues with the unrecognized devices, that tahnks of god were less than expected but drivers fron Lenovo site were all wrong !!!!! Yes wrong, it seems a joke but was the true,
I think,(to tell the true I'm sure) no one from Lenovo tech checked the drivers in a S205 models, and I can explain why with the above sad experience:
- SOUND: windows only install generic HD drivers and the sound quality as expected was crappy. So I try the lenovo driver Conexant but it does not properly work, SmatAudio icon in the ControlPannel was not present, no conexant pannel to manage sound, and nothing changed, windows continue with is own generym Microsoft HD drivers. I remeber that Lenovo model U300S and U300E have the same soundcard I dowload their Conexant Win8 driver (with a different number so I hope it was teh latest) and my idea was great, the Conexant U300 driver works on my S205 lenovo and Win8 detect the conexant soundcard and SmartAudio is present and working. There is only a isse concerning SRS Sound that is present on my system but if I try to lounch nothing appens, so I think is not correctly working. But so far so god sound is better than before with generic MS drivers, but to do so I have to choose a different driver from a different Lenovo pc, not an easy step for a normal user.
- OSD: on screen display (FN+F keys) in 7 they was insert in the Lenovo Energy Mnagement, so to works you need to instal it. I make the same in win 8 with the new Lenovo Energy Management provides by Lenovo site, Lenovo Energy Management is working but OSD no !!!!
Windows 8 detect and show you in autonomy soud level and brightnes when you press FN+Arrow keys ant that are the most important but ALL the FN+F Keys are not showed on screen even if probably they are working (for ex. Fn+F6 correctly enabel1disable touchpad) but not icon showen on screen !! Well I can leave without OSD but once again seems Lenovo don't try EnergyManagement on a Win8 pc.
- CARD READER: Windows detect and unknow device called USB CRW and I though correctly was the card reader, in fact I try a sd and win8 was not able to read it. So I install the Realtek CardReader downloaded from Lenovo site, It was extracted and installed but I don't know why the driver seems bugged, the pattern contains only some icon but not exe ord driver, in fact the Card reader even if I try the driver more times it was not decetced. I tryed the old Windows 7 driver for my S205 and thank of god it was working and now my cardreader is detected and working. Once angain the win8 driver provided by Lenovo fails and I need the oldest win 7 driver that maks the job.
- TOUCHPAD: Synaptics touchpad was detected by windows 8 but all the basic features as the scrolling or 2 fingers was not working. So I try the Synaptics drivers provided by Lenovo and it was only for 32bit system even if is clearly showed as 32 and 64bit driver. The driver itself promp me that is not working on a 64bit system and i need to contact the producer :-(
Hahahaha very hilarious so I have to download the driver from Synaptics server that is so slow that I need 2 hours to finaly have my touchpad driver. Once again an epic fail from lenovo site.
CONCLUSION: Lenovo is the new n.1 pc producer in the world but it seems realy not professional when check his drivers and public it on the website. Could be s205 is the cheapest and not business line notebook but ... I am realy sad whit the way Lenovo put new drivers without any preventive control in the homesite driver's page.
It seems it was a lottery, extracting a number and put the corresponding driver on the S205 drivers page :-(
Sir this is not the good behaviour, is the bast way to loose users !!!! Very disappointed, very sad and I hope this post can help S205 users taht want use the new Windows 8 system to catch the correct solutions
I hope too some Lenovo developers can read this, try win8 on a s205 notebook and solve all the problems, because even if I solve with my 20 years pc experience all the issue, still remais some problems as SRS Sound seems not working (if It can work on our system, but if it can't why put in on our s205 driver too) and no OSD for every FN keys working.
There are not present some utility for win 8 as for example the CAPSLOCK keys utility that was present for 7 but not for 8 (I have to try if the older work on 8) or the Lenovo OneKey that seems not ready for 8..
So far so good winodws 8 works great on S205 and is a good choice if you catch the correct drivers as I explain here.
Hoping this help Lenovo not making the same mistakes in the future, and learn from their errors.
Once angain sorry for my language mistake but I'm not English
Hore this post can help in some case
Bye

Hi Romagnolo1973!
Thank you for posting all the things you learned, and how you got your S205 working with Windows 8! Hopefully this will help others.
To be fair to Lenovo, they list Windows 8 as not supported on the S205.

As you found, it is sometimes possible to work around the problems and get things working to your satisfaction!

U510 - does Lenovo offer support for standard issues?

Hi, I wonder if Lenovo offer any support for the very common issues that this product of theirs has?
1. This products energy management reacts to low battery by shutting down the wifi totally, and you ar not able to turn it on again in other ways than recharging the battery to a high percentage, plus shutting down and restarting the computer totally. This is incredibly disturbing, almost as disturbing as the fact that Lenovo seems to have put no effort in solving the problem. Does Lenovo not have aim to help its customers with this? No updates in the energy management system? No work-arounds? Some users say they have uninstalled Lenovo Energy Management 8 and installed version 7 but it does not install on my Windows 8.1.
2. This product has what Lenovo calls a "Mini-VGA" port. With my U510 there came an adapter for connecting standard VGA cables to the port. It did not work and I have found no evidence of anyone getting it t work, only problems with it. And not a single answer regarding the problems by Lenovo? Has anyone got an answer about how to get it to work, or has someone found that their mini-VGA works with an adapter? Did anyone get help by Lenovo? (Not me) Please share if !
3. The Touchpad of this computer might work in the beginning (or at least I have found some posts claiming that it did) but most seem to have the same problem as me, the touchpad being very coarse and clumsy, running away and not reacting to right-button clicks very often. I have found no answer by Lenovo regarding this problem. Getting a physical guarantee service would have taken more than a month, a time lapse which was impossible for me to take without a computer. Anyone got a software solution by lenovo for this one, or is it a physical error in this model?
Cheers Ben

answer to 2. if you had the adapter connected to your laptop and a cable from laptop to monitor make sure you press fn + f3 after that will let you enable so laptops screen appears on monitor or tv you connected to if it shows up as black pic

Still no support for multiple users!!

The only reason I recently updated to 5.0 is I was anxiously awaiting the addition of multi-user support to my Lenovo A10-70 tablet. I had bought it for my young daughter after she broke the screen on her Nexus. Well, without support for User Accounts, this tablet is useless to a parent. I cannot believe a large company like Lenovo does not offer this with its Android tablets! Mark, Cleo, Serene, Lenovo admins - I hope you are reading this. I am also posting this on Amazon where I bought my tablet. Such a shame - great hardware but such poor software choices. P.S. Major issues with the new update to Android 5.0. WiFi does not stay connected. Many Google apps will not run, including Gmail!

Multi-user support is not common in tablets - so far, the ONLY tablet I have found with solid multi-user support is the Galaxy Tab/Note 4 (and even it has issues if you mis-configure it). (Why do I refer to the Tab/Note 4? Yes - the Note 4 is a phablet, and is typically sold via providers AND has a taller resolution than the Tab 4; those are, in fact, the ONLY differences between the Tab 4 and Note 4. They have common features otherwise, and even their updates are released simultaneously.) Lenovo even did the same thing with the A-series - compare their phablet models (G, GV, and H) with their wireless-only F models - you'll find so many commonalities it's not funny. It's the phablets that are getting all the update love (especially when it comes to Lollipop); tablets (F subseries), not so much.Also, phablets are huge in Asia and India (look at sales of the G, GV, and H - the forums HERE are also rather obvious in those reporting successful updates - they are all from Asia or India); Lenovo doesn't push phablets in Europe or North America. (I have no idea whether it is provider resistance or not.) If you want solid multi-user support as a parent, look to Samsung (simply because they actually implemented it properly, which most tablet OEMs aren't going to be bothered with - it's not a knock specifically on Lenovo, because it's not specifically a Lenovo issue). On the Lollipop update issue; how many of us are still soldiering on with the same amount of storage that our tablets came with? (I'm referring mainly to us F-subseries folks.) The thing about the F subseries is that they all have small - if not downright miniscule - amounts of usable eMMC storage; out of the 8GB of eMMC storage the device has, only half that - 4GB - is usable from the start. And every app you install, and assorted things that go along with it, eats into that. Look at the size of the UPDATES that are being reported; S000023 alone is nearly 200MB. The big combo updates - and if you're coming merely from S000020, which is the North American starting place for the F - you're talking nearly a gigabyte just to get to S000027 - do you have that much usable storage? We may well have to bite the bullet and install medium or large (16GB/32GB) microSD cards in our tablets just because of the update-size issue. (It's not like 16GB microSD cards are all that expensive, even retail - I see them at the local Best Buy for - at worst - $15 for SanDIsk Ultra - that's the high end brand of microSD card.) We may be getting those "you have the latest version" due to available-space constraints - I've seen it happen on space-coinstrained WINDOWS PCs often enough.

Drivers issue for Lenovo u400 after upgrading to Windows 8

I recently upgraded to windows 8 an after that facing driver issue for ATI Radeon graphic card and wifi, and also cypress trackpad software is not working. All the supported drivers provided by Lenovo for windows 8 are fake and none of them are working. I even tried to search for drivers for graphic card from AMD website but unable to find any suitable drivers.
And to my surprise when i called lenovo technical support for help, the representative told that no such upgradation is possible for older system, but in Lenovo wesite it is clearly mentioned that upgradion is possible and they are provinding windows 8 drivers for this model which does not works at all :-(
Kindly some one suggest some workaround for this issue.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had the same problems with the Cypress driver after upgrading to Windows. Based on I did I downloaded the Windows 8 driver for the Ideapad U300s and it works GREAT. There were no compatibility issues, shows up in Device Manager etc. It also has and icon on the task bar that responds to the F6 key for disabling. Best yet this driver has a Palm Rejection tab. I set it for heavy and no wild pointer movements so I find I now keep the trackpad enabled. NOTE: the file name of the driver I downloaded and installed is: Ogt102w8. Hope this helps you and can't figure out why Lenovo has a driver listed for the U400 that does not work while this driver works great.

I have upgraded from 2gb to 4gb RAM (Vista bu 64bit) but T400 was still slower than the old MSI notebook. I had MSI 12", 1.8ghz sempron, 2gb RAM, 160HDD with UBUNTU 8.04. Now T400 with P8700, 4gb DDR3, discrete Ati 3470. What really helped me was NOT using Vista at all! I'm now on RC of Windows 7, it's much faster (boot, turning off, and aslo system respose is I think 4 times shorter than Vista has). Just wanted you to know how are these systems different. But if I had a choice, I would go for some linux distribution. Sadly fingerprint reader and thinkvantage software are not supported

How do I get support for Windows 7 on, and a W7 backup disk for, my new ThinkPad?

I know these have got to be stupid questions, since I am sure that they have to have been asked before (unless they are clearly explained somewhere that everyone else has found, and I am somehow completely missed it), but I did search the forums and was surprised NOT to find any info on getting Windows 7 technical support after it was factory installed in a month-old Thinkpad. I wonder if the apparent defects in my W7, or maybe a different problem in my browser, could be affecting my ability to search to forums?
I believe that my Windows 7 is defective, but calling Lenovo, they just talked about reinstalling Win7 from the partition, which makes no sense, if my W7 copy is defective, wouldn't the copy in the partition be defective too? My mom said she ordered a $20 W7 backup disk with the PC, but I never received it, and now Lenovo tech tells me those aren't actually available, and she must have confused it with the W7 upgrade disk, which didn't sound right, since I thought the upgrade disk was over $100, and I never received that one either anyway. If the W7 that was factory-installed is defective, I am assuming it's a copy of the same one in the partition, so that partition recovery is not feasible, is there any way to reorder a W7 re-install disk that will still register as Genuine Windows 7 on a Thinkpad? Now when I search the Lenovo site, I cannot find ANY W7 disks of any kind, neither a backup for factory-installed W7, nor for upgrade from a prior Windows version. Does anyone know how I could go about re-ordering the W7 backup disk when it appears to be missing from the online catalog? Unless this too is a defect in my browser search: can someone give me the link to page where I could select and re-purchase a W7 backup disk?
It has been a few years since I had a new PC, but I have never even heard of one before that did not come with instruction manuals and OS and support disks, and did not provide any tech support for its own factory-installed software or Windows, at least during the first few months of ownership. Where do new Thinkpad owners turn for individual W7 software support, since Microsoft swears it is Lenovo's responsibility to support W7 under its OEM license, yet Lenovo swears they only support hardware? It almost seems that new users are expected to know everything already, or be initiated enough with the product to know exactly what your problem is and what's causing it, in order to find an online fix. Who do you call if W7 or Lenovo software (but not an ISP issue) appear to be doing something to prevent online access, but there are no discernible hardware issues? Where do you call for individualized W7, as well as Lenovo software, support, especially after no one online has ever heard of your specific issues and has no workable ideas for fixing them, or when your problem prevents you from getting online at all?
Thanks so much
