S230u reinstallation and auto-rotate lock button
Some time ago (after switching to SSD) I reinstalled Windows 8 and upgraded to 8.1. I have made a fresh installation as I could not get the image copying from HDD to SSD to work properly.
The OS has been working great so far, but the one thing I am really missing is the auto-rotate lock button next to the power button. It does not work at all and never has.
I do have the System Update 5 software for installing packages from Lenovo and have installed all of the drivers it recommended except for Password Manager and IRST which I do not need.
I have also manually installed the 'Hotkey Features Integration for Windows 8.1 (32-bit, 64-bit) - ThinkPad' package which I expected to be the thing I was missing.
Is there any additional software that I should install or something that I should enable to get the functionality?
I know Windows+O does the same thing, but when you are in tablet mode that key is not that handy.

Yoga 2 Pro tent mode and auto-rotate not working
I have had a Yoga 2 Pro since June. Recently the Tent mode and auto-rotate features do not work.
When I put the Yoga 2 Pro into Tent mode the keyboard and touch pad are still active underneth. However, they shutoff when in tablet mode. Lenovo Transition starts automatically and is running.
Auto-rotate does not work at all now. The screen is un-locked.Dear NX3
Welcome to Lenovo forums
Please try to uninstal the Lenovo transition program and download the version in the below link and instal it

I just bought my iphone 4 a few weeks ago from a friend and now the lock button/power button is unresponsive. It worked fine when i bought it, and i havent dropped the phone or gotten it wet at all! what do i do?
You can try Restoring it in iTunes but I have a feeling the switch is broken and you will have to get it serviced.

My centre button has stopped working and my top lock button has stopped working too. I've had this iPhone 2 years now, can I take it into apple and swap for another phone or am I not covered? Thanks
The standard Apple warranty is 1 year. I believe you can purchase AppleCare+, which extends the warranty to two years from the date of purchase. This extended warranty needs to be purchased within 30 days of the purchase date for the phone.
If you have the extended warranty, you may be able to get a replacement phone at no cost. You will need to make an appointment at an Apple Store Genuis Bar and have them take a look at the phone.
If you did not purchase the additional warranty coverage, you should be able to purchase an Out-of-Warranty replacement, which is $199 for the iPhone 4S.

my iphone 4 turned black today and my sleep(lock) button doesnt work. I have tried to let it charge to see if it would restart but still nothing. what else can i do to turn it back on??
Unless somebody else has a micracle workaround I don't know. Probably get the phone in for repair since it has been living on borrowed time so far and now you absolutely must have a working button.

How to unmute and disable rotation lock the ipad 2 at the same time?
I can't seem to unmute without enabling the rotation lock, and vice versa. I want to unmute and disable the rotation lock. Resetting the settings doesn't work. It's really fustrating. Help?
The side switch is the key. Depending on your settings, it may affect the mute or it may affect the rotation lock. Whichever function it supports, the other function is performed by a "soft switch." This support article from Apple provides detail.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
In case you're wondering, here is the history. Originally, the mechanical switch affected only the rotation lock and the mute was a software switch elsewhere. In IOS-3, it was changed to be the mute switch and the rotation lock became a software switch. This was done to ensure consistency among IOS devices. Unfortunately, a large quantity of users complained loudly, alleging that they turned the rotation lock on and off several times every hour and the convenience of the mechanical switch is essential. In IOS-4, Apple bowed to the whiners and made the switch function selectable and now we're stuck with a mess. -
Since the installation of 8.0.2 my iPhone 6 will not auto rotate in any app. I have locked/unlocked the feature in settings several times using the command bar but to no avail. I read using the Kindle app and it also is locked in portrait whether the lock is on or off.

Your auto lock got turned on. Swipe up on the screen and tap the upper right icon. This will allow it to work again!
Actually, the OP tried that (six months ago) and it didn't work. They resolved the issue (six months ago) by updating their system software (six months ago). -
Screen locking up and auto rotation not working on phone wakeup
Since updating to iOS8 my iPhone 5 and 5s will lock up when waking the phone. I also have noticed that the screen rotation does not work riight away and is sluggish. Certain apps tend to freeze which could be that they need an update themselves. It is a shame that Apple has resorted to using its customers as beta testers for their software. As a die hard Apple fan it is getting harder to stay true to the company. Apple should be leading not playing catch up which is why I think theses major software issues develop.
Model Name: P55W-B5112
Part Number: PSVP3U-003003 Support site here If it is brand new and not working correctly then I suggest bringing it back and requesting a replacement or refund. It should work perfectly brand new without having to fuss around. -
Yoga 2 Pro Auto-Rotate Disabled (button is gray) on Win 10
Hi all, Upgraded my Yoga 2 Pro to Win 10 today, and the auto-rotate feature stopped working. The enable auto-rotate button on Win 10 is disabled, and in the display settings, the auto-rotate is switched on, but this doesn't make a difference. Don't know if the problem is with Lenovo or Microsoft, but would appreciate any help I can get...
Folks - any of you restored back to windows 8 to see if it still works? I did after my win 10 upgrade (with no rotation) and to my dismay, rotation no longer works in the factory image. I spoke to Lenovo and they are treating it like a hardware failure (apparently the factory reimage is the smoking gun for them). I'm starting to wonder if the Win 10 upgrade could have hosed the sensor!? FWIW - I have installed windows 10 about 5 times now on my Yoga 2 Pro, and in every case, the rotation lock function appears as a option (after the graphics drivers are updated by windows update) and pressing the button causes the on screen display to indicate that the autorotate is being toggled.

Rotation lock button no longer works for iBooks
I just uploaded the new iOS4 to my iPad and then tried to read a book on iBooks while lying on my side. Apparently, the old rotation lock switch on the upper right side is now a mute switch. Have I lost the ability to prevent rotation of the screen?
I'm having the same problem and tried double clicking on the home key twice. There are no button on the left of the screen.

X61t upgrade and auto-rotate not working
I just bought an x61t off trademe for $50. I've always coveted one because my old x60s was the best thinkpad I've ever owned. This one is solid and underused. I intend to upgrade to win 8 later, and add some more ram and swap in a SSD. Just use for text input and browsing.
My problems are finding a user manual/guide, finding any thinkvantage legacy upgrade and, the biggest problem is auto rotate and tablet interface buttons don't seem to be working.
Looking on Lenovo sites hasn't been helpful in finding any of this information or solutions. It may be obsolete and unavailable.
can I download button drivers from anywhere? Any other solutions you can help with are appreciated.Hi syrahnose,
Here's your Hardware Maintenance Manual and here's a Service and Troubleshooting Guide .
You could also run TVSU and see if it comes up with anything for your tablet.
There are quite a lot of guides and manuals here .
Regards,
Dave
Edit: Windows 8 should run fine on your machine. I'm running Windows 8 on a non-tablet x61 and it runs fine.

Where is the rotate lock button so my keyboard can turn sideways?

Aloha, apple-community
It seems like i have a very big problem. A few months ago, i noticed first, my iPod wont rotate properly if i tilt it to the left or right sometimes. i had to tilt it twice and than it worked. But after a week, it completly stopped working. Whenever i turned my iPod to the right or left side, nothing happened.
So i had the idea to restart it, which fixed it for a short time. After the restart was done, i was able to tilt for about 2-5 mins, later the problem appeared again
Today, nothing is working. Even in Games my iPod wont tilt or even react to any motion i do...
Well, kinda novel, i know, but i want to be as precise as possible...
so here are the things i already tried:
- Updated iTunes to 10.5.2
- Restored to a Backup
- Restored to the factory settings
- Jailbreaked my iPod to downgrade to an earlier Firmware (from 5.0.1)
- updated again to 5.0.1
- i made sure, the rotation lock is off, so please don´t give me the advice to double tab the homebutton, swipe left and tab on the lock
- started crying and thinking about throwing the iPod out of the window
by the way, my warranty is not active anymore...
so please guys, do you have a solution or even an advice for me?
Greatly appreciated,
EliasI just searched the board and it´s funny to see, what i found out:
This Error ONLY appears with : iPod Touch 3Gen 32GB 2009 Models

My iphone 5 locking button broken so i want to make it fixed . And i bought it thailand in 10.12.2012 and i am living in turkey so do ı have to send it thai or somewhere near turkey
You have to bring it to Thailand or send it to a friend/relative there to
take in for you. Apple Thailand will not accept international shipments
for repair/replacement nor will it ship out of the country after repair/replacement.
iPhone warranty is valid only in country of original purchase (EU is considered
one country for this purpose).
