Ideapad s210 Touch - money refund

Hi,
I bought a laptop Lenovo ideapad S210 ,S/N-xxxxx Touch on 25th DEC 20112 in new Delhi India. after 1 week only i found that the audio jack is not working,i mean when i m plunging the head phones i can hear the sound from both head phones as well as from the speakers. I raised a complaint against it and your executive raised a ticket for that(Ticket no.7005866484 date -10.01.14),the other problem with this laptop is its working really slow some times,again i raised a complaint against that (ref no.206799174 date- 19.01.14) your executive asked me to install a software called Lenovo solutions and do a hardware scan,i did that but it shows there is no problem with the hard ware.
i asked your executive what should be the next step to resolve this issue he said he can't raise more than one complaint at a time so due to unavailability of the audio jack it will take another 2-4 days more to reach to me ,after that only the other problem can get resolved.
yesterday (Jan 22nd 2014)they said the audio jack will reach to me within 2-4 days,now today (Jan 23rd 2014) one guy named Prashant said it will reach by 1st of feb 2014.
this is the first time i m using LENOVO product and i must say the service you provide is very poor.I just want to refund the money.
its not been a month also i bought this system and the performance i m seeing is very poor. i need to return this system and request you to refund my money back,please do the needful.
Product-LENOVO S210 Touch ideapad

Purchase Date- Dec 25th 2014

IdeaPad S210 Touch - Problems booting from USB

Hello,
i have a issue with the Lenovo S210 Touch. I want to install Ubuntu parallel to Windows 8.
I try to install Ubuntu from USB. There is the issue. I tried UEFI and legacy mode. In each case i prepared the USB Stick. But all i get are two reactions from the IdeaPad.
UEFI Mode = The Lenovo logo appears shortly and goes away. This reactions is happening in a loop till i disconnect the USB Stick.
Legacy Mode = The IdeaPad just freezes as soon as i insert the USB Stick and start the IdeaPad. I ll have to hard reboot the IdeaPad.
Strange thing, there is no USB Boot Option at the Boot Tab in the BIOS.
The BIOS version is the newest i could download on the lenovo page.
The USB stick is working on other machines.
Does anyone have a solution?

Hmm, that's odd. I'll go fix up the subject lines.
According to the hardware maintenance manual, F12 should do the trick. The timing window is pretty narrow, IIRC.
Another thing to try is to access the advanced startup options from within Windows 8:

S210 Touch Windows USB Recovery Drive does not boot

I have an S210 Touch and I am looking to swap out the existing hard drive for an SSD. Looking to do this in a "sanctioned" way from the discussion forums i.e. create a recovery USB drive WITH the Recovery Partition and boot from it - this would be the same use case if the hard drive crashed and I want to recover to a blank replacement drive:
http://lnv.gy/Y0hlMU
which is similar to this set of official instructions:
http://support.lenovo.com/en/documents/ht076024
There are also other official posts on creating the recovery USB drive, and pressing F12 at POST to boot from the USB drive. In the BIOS, Secure Boot is turned off and the Optimization (last tab) is set to Others.
When I try to boot from the Wndows Recovery USB drive, however, the USB drive would start, then the Lenovo logo would come on, and the process repeats itself until I pull the plug F12 does NOT work. Apparently, this symptom has been experienced by others looking to install Unbuntu, though it is happening WITH the Windows RECOVERY DRIVE.
Is there something inherently wrong with the S210 Touch that it won't boot the Windows Recovery Drive?
Being curious, I also tried a DOS (Win98) - formatted USB drive, and for some reason, IT BOOTS!!!
Some more sanity checks (Secure Boot is OFF, Optimization is Other):
1. Created a recovery drive from a working Window 8.1 machine (Retail version installed on a Dell) and attempted to boot. This time, F12 does bring up the boot screen, but USB is NOT a choice to boot from.
2. Created a recovery drive from the S210 WITHOUT the Recovery Partition - the USB Boot - Lenovo Logo cycle goes on. Perhaps there's a problem with the preinstalled copy of Windows on ALL (!!!) S210 Touch machines???

Long story short, I finally moved my Windows 8 installation to an SSD using a 3rd party product's boot CD to back up the factory hard disk to an external USB hard disk, swapped in the SSD, tthen restoring it to the SSD. Futzed around with moving / reducing / deleting unnecessary partitions so my windows partition is maximized.
Trying to get OneKey Recovery to work would be an academic exercise (in futility) as the recovery and image partitions take up valuable space on the SSD and I now have an offline backup / restore method. Now the laptop is running MUCH FASTER (8 seconds to Metro Screen) and much cooler. Now it's upgrading to Windows 8.1
The takeaways from this misadventure:
1. Booting with USB Flash Drives simply DOES NOT WORK, and I cannot tell whether the fault lies with with system tools (Microsoft) or the UEFI Firmware (Lenovo) or BOTH. I was lucky to have a USB hard drive and DVD around.
2. Dropping support from CD/DVD Recovery Disc creation from Windows 8.1 is simply taking scissors to a safety net given that booting from USB Flash Drives DO NOT WORK consistently across all hardware, especially ones running UEFI Firmware.
3. OKR is nice to have, but not mission criditical if the disk space is limited, especially if alternatives exist.
4. Windows native tools for backup and restore DO NOT WORK with this particular Lenovo model and its UEFI Firmware. I'm pretty sure it doesn't work others from Lenovo or other major brands. Value Added tools like OKR do not restore on Bare Metal.
5. SSDs absolutely ROCK, and the trade-off between speed and storage is well worth it, especially now that storage can be offloaded on to NASs or the cloud. No mechanical storage issues to worry about (had 2 drives crash within the last month, each dying just after the 2-year warranty expired), runs much cooler, and it's a no brainer - 120GB drives can be found on sale for $60-$70, the crappiest of them will still run many times faster than traditional hard drives.
Bottom Line: things that SHOULD WORK often DON'T WORK.

IPod Touch newbie questions - pt. III

Last questions:
1) I downloaded a few apps from the Apps Store and noticed that a few would not load. They kept cycling and cycling and never completed. I then realized that I had to connect to a Wi FI network, which I am lucky enough to have at home: Verizon FIOS.
Could Apple consider marking any Applications for download, free or for sale, that requires a WiFi connection to the web as such? This is very user unfriendly and should be info that we have up front. There may be some people who don't have such WiFi connections at hand depending on where they live and if they download one of the fee based apps and find out they need an internet connection to work it, they will be royally ticked off.
2) The Progression "scrubber bar" - could this be linked to the playback controls in a future firmware update? On my Classic the info was always viewable and one did not have to enable it. I feel it should show automatically and be disabled as an extra step.
By the way, what do they mean by "scrubber?" Nothing is cleaned or erased in my estimation. This is needlessly confusing. Must be a slang term I'm unfamiliar with.
3) Lastly, not sure about this but is there a way to download lyrics for songs into iTunes/iPod? If so I guess I've missed this somewhere. If not it would be a great extra to have on the player, particularly, for jogging one's memory or clarifying words to a new song that some singer mangles badly.
** I would just to to reaffirm that I may seem a little picky in my posts here but considering the complexity and variety of functions this machine can handle, the beauty of design and interaction with the user and other factors, Apple has done a great job developing this PDA/music player/etc. I only wanted to clear up some issues and maybe submit possible improvements for the future.
It's been a long time since I've been so impressed by a new piece of technology and I've been around for some time.

Hi,
1. I kind see your point and it would not be difficult to implement but generally you can tell how an app works and what it will require from the description. I do know some Apps have virtually no description with them which is unforgivable but then I probably wouild not spend money on them in the first place.
2. "Scrub Bar" industry standard term for that particular item, just because it does not erase as in your sense of the word "scrub" does not mean it is wrong. To any Video/Audio tape editors it makes perfect sense.
I don't think having to touch the screen to summon it is that big a deal.
3. To view lyrics on the Touch they need to be added to the track in iTunes.
Right click > get info > lyrics, then cut and paste into the box.
I fear you may well become irritated once more as to see them you will have to summon the "scrub bar" while the track is playing...
Regards,
Dud.

Ipod touch internet question???

i have two questions:
1. can you view videos online on a ipod touch that are on websites using safari (excluding youtube)like movie6.net, ign.com, tv-links.co.uk or google video.
2. as well does it cost to use the internet on a ipod touch my friends say that you do have to pay to use it.

In no way are there fees linked to Apple or AT&T for internet use on the iPod Touch. As Trey said, you may have to pay to use a public access point, but this is very rare and costs little, when it costs any at all.

Scrollview with Tableview, Tableviewcell touch feedback question

I am trying to make a scrollview with some tableview in it so that I can slide new tableview with drag&slide. Does anyone know if this is all possible? I tried to implement this but scrollview blocks all the event and doesn't let the table view to scroll up&down.
My second questions is if it is possible to highlight the some portion of tableviewcell when touched? The whole cell is highlighted to blue but I would like only some part of the cell to be highlighted to blue. Would it be possible?
Thanks.

Never assume they will fix it immediately. You have no way of being certain that they will even be able to fix it at all without sending it off to a service centre.

[S210 Touch] One key recovery not working

I have a 1.25 year old S210 Ideapad Touch. I made a 100GB partition with EaseUS and had no problem with onekey recovery. I tried to merge that empty partition with my C drive using EaseUS software but it did not work saying there were errors. After that attempt One Key did not work. Tried to open One Key with compter turned off, error message said damaged partition. Next I used Control panel Administrative Tools: Disk Management to return C drive to almost its original size less 350 mb. one key still did not work. I reinstalled one key from Lenovo website and still did not work. Still indicated damage partition. What can I do now?

LCD Touchscreen Question

Hello,
I have a 42" LCD Touchscreen (from Panelworx) with a integrated CPU that connects to the screen via HDMI. I am running a Flash Projector file in 100%, Fullscreen mode, developed using AS2, CS3. The problem/question is when we shut the monitor off and turn it back on the Flash Projector file is completely white, but if we dont have it in fullscreen and turn the monitor on/off everything comes back just fine. Turning the monitor on/off is necessary for the customer so I have to figure something out. I know it is a unique question//problem but I was hoping someone would have some insight, suggestions, similar story...
Thanks in advance for any advice!

SD feeds into an HDTV will look like SD.
Not necessarily. There are a number of LCD HDTV's that sport features intended to "pull" the primary objects in a picture "towards the audience," which can add a great deal of depth to even SD programming. Although such options don’t result in a higher resolution being displayed, they do typically mean that you might have an easier time distinguishing people and moving objects from static backgrounds when compared to watching the same image on an old CRT model. I believe that Philips calls this function Pixel Plus 3 HD on their TVs, but different manufacturers will obviously call it by different names.

U330 Touch - SSD Question

Hi, I recently bought a U330 Touch i7. I hadn't realized that it shipped with a HDD/SSD combination drive. When I booted it up I found the main OS installed on the HDD along with a load of other applications, then on the SSD drive was only McAfee and a load of drivers. The HDD is 500GB (or near enough) and the SSD 25GB. The unit is ST500LM000-1EJ162. THe SSD appears as a separate driver in file explorer but seems to be a partition of the main HDD in disk utility.
I have a couple of questions that I can't seem to find answers to by looking around on the site:
1. Should I just install the applications I am most likely to use straight onto the SSD - so MS Office, Chrome, Unity and a couple of steam games - assuming the benefit on having them on the SSD is going to be worth it.
2. I was told by someone it might be a hybrid drive and the migration of software from the HDD to SSD would be handled by some software. Is it a hybrid drive?
3. Can I actually reinstall the OS directly on the SSD and would the benefit be worth the hassle of the reinstall?
4. If I do re-install can I get the installation files for the OS and associated software that shipped with the machine from Lenovo direct?
Sorry for so many questions, but its my first SSD and there seems to be a lot of conflicting information out there.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You don't want to use the WD as the recovery drive, you want to use a flash drive. Recovery and the factory load should fit on a 16 Gb flash drive. This will be used to refresh or repair the OS if you ever have the problem of not being able to boot.
The WD should be used to backup your current configuration since it will be so large. As you do Windows updates and install more programs and save more files, this backup should be replaced on the WD on a regular basis.
The recovery flash drive will only be used to boot and install the original OS that your machine came with, or to repair or refresh the OS. Then you will use the backup from the WD to put the current OS back on.
Once you make the flash drive, I would test it to make sure it boots and goes into the recovery environment.
Again, the WD will only be used for backing up your current configuration and should be updated regularly.
I've never tried to use an external hard drive as a recovery drive, it might or might not work. The instructions are pretty specific so I doubt that it will
You're welcome to try it though.

IPod Touch 2G Questions

I just bought an iPod Touch 2G. It's used, but works great. I have the latest version of iTunes. Here are several questions that I'm having trouble finding the answers to:
1- When you drag your finger UP the screen, it scrolls DOWN (as if the iPod was a book or piece of paper). I prefer thinking of it as a "digital viewer", & would like to be able to drag my finger DOWN the screen to scroll DOWN (like using a mouse-cursor on a scroll-bar). Is there any Setting or Application to do this?
2- The Main Menu has 4 Icons at the bottom for "Music", "Videos", "Safari", & "App Store". Above that are 14 Icons for the Apps & Programs that the iPod came with: "Mail", "Calendar", "Photos", "Contacts", "YouTube", "Stocks", "Maps", "Weather", "Voice Memos", "Notes", "Clock", "Calculator", "Settings", & "iTunes". Is there any way to remove any of these Apps, or at least remove their Icons from the Main Menu? Some of them like "Stocks" & "Voice Memos" I have no use for, & I'd rather not have them clogging up the Main Menu.
3- Does the iPod Touch 2G support a Folder System (either initially, or through an App)? If so, how do I create & edit it?

2) No you cannot remove the apps that come on the ipod. You can move them to another home page.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_3.1_UserGuide.pdf
3) No. You can look for Apps in the app store that will store data via wi-fi.

IPod Touch 5G question

Ok, this doesn't happen with my iPod Touch 4G, but it does with my 5G. Every time I connect it to my laptop to charge, it asks 'Trust This Computer?'. Every time. If it did it once, it wouldn't really bother me, but it does it repeatedly. It will ask me at 2-4 times - sometimes more - every time I plug it in. My laptop is the only computer I connect it to, so why does it repeatedly ask that question?

Perhaps you need to try rebooting it:
Rebooting your iDevice
Hold down the Sleep (On-Off) and Home buttons together for about 10-15 seconds or until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears - then let go of the buttons. The iPad should begin to start up.
If this doesn't help then try restoring it:
Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
7. iOS - Unable to update or restore
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
