Hi pcarq007
The Yoga 3 Pro has a "paper display" setting.It's meant to help you read stuff (reducing eye strain) giving the display a yellowish,book page like tint.
You can turn it on or off by pressing "Fn"+"Esc".
Let me know if this solves the issue.

I not sure if any other facing this problem also, but my Nokia 5800 XM screen color will change for a while from time to time then back to normal since after I have the firmware updated to v20.0.012.

Minor screen color changes when background in tota...

I just got myself lumia900 and i found that my lumia screen at the bottom corner left part have the color changes a bit instead of having full black color background... As if the screen is leaking..
Dont think its normal, but anyone has the same experience??

Hi lumia900_ina,
Thanks for your feedback!
As the Lumia 900 has an AMOLED screen it does not use backlighting. If you do notice some bleeding from e.g. the backlighting for the Windows Phone buttons I suggest you contact your supplier or visit a Nokia Care Point for further assistance.
Hope the helps,
Kosh

Screen Color change after Safe Boot

I did a safe boot in order to install software for new graphics card. The ATI ROM install called for the safe boot. When in safe mode, the screen color turned a blue-green. After restarting, the same blue-green screen (though not quite as dark) remains. I've powered off completely, unplugged, and restarted. Still, there is something wrong.
Additionally, I noticed that my Netscape Communicator would not open up and I couldn't find the application.
Can anyone help?

Elements 6 screen color change

Is there a way to change the dark color of the program on my computer? The dark colors make it difficult to see the brushes menu as they are in black and other menu items?
Can the print be made larger also?
I could not find any controls to change the program's color or text size.
Thanks.

There is no way to change the colors of the PSE 6 user interface. This was such a bad design that Adobe fixed it in PSE 7. Some palliatives:
1. Adjust your display's brightness and contrast using a grey-scale chart such as this:
http://www.photofriday.com/calibrate.php
2. Calibrate the display using a device such as the Huey or Spyder, which is a good thing anyway to get accurate colors.
3. When you open the brushes pallette, click on the double right-arrow in the upper-right corner and select Stroke Thumbnail:

On-screen color changes when rendered

I have this workflow mastered in Photoshop: When I work on an RGB image, I assign my monitor's color profile. Then when I save a GIF or JPEG, the resulting image looks identical in a web page as it did in Photoshop.
I can't figure out how to do the same thing in Final Cut Pro. The video looks like I want in Final Cut, but when I render to QuickTime and view in QuickTime Player, the colors are washed out and less saturated.
I could not find anything in the FCP manual having to do with ColorSync profiles. What am I missing?

What your seeing is a gamma shift in Quicktime. This especially happens when viewing h.264 videos on a Mac with Quicktime. Here read this:
http://ahrengot.wordpress.com/category/tips-and-tutorials/
I just started using x264 to encode my h.264 videos. As for now I've been happy with it's results. This x264 codec is (a lot) faster than encoding h.264 with Compressor or Quicktime. MyComet x264 encoder has been an in development for mmmm...4-5 years. So it's not a fly by night project. Updates come very fast....too.

Screen color settings changes when certain software is launched.

Since today I noticed the screen color settings of my Macbook Pro 17" (beginning 2011 model — Running OSX 10.8.4) is changing when certain software is launched. In this case, Indesign CS6.0 gives a strange blue hue over my screen, but when I check my screen color settings, nothing has changed, everything is set the same as when I don't run the softwares that change my screen color settings. I don't recall changing any settings that could have triggered this action. I didn't change any settings in Indesign CS6.0. I do regularly use CleanMyMac 2 to clean out my computer, maybe this has changed some settings? How can I change this back to normal? Google didn't help me neither.

Ah right, don;t use laptops much and always forget about that one, good catch. Switching graphics cards would definitely have an effect.
Just remember with that unchecked you will decrease battery run time so you might want to switch it back on when you are not doing graphics and you are on battery.

Apple iPod Touch Screen Color

Will Apple iPod Touch Screen Color Change? Will there be a white screen version soon? Since the apple iPod touch accessories are mostly white, it would be nice to have a white screen instead of a black screen to go with that; especially around the Christmas holidays. Many people are expecting to purchase them as presents for their families and friends. If apple was to change the screen color for the ipod touch 4G, it would get more people to purchase them just because of the color.

Hello Cora1983,
I meant screen frame. It is black, will there be a white screen frame version coming soon?
Nobody here would know for sure since this is just a user-to-user forum. Personally, I haven't heard of such, so as of now, probably not. Perhaps you can suggest this to Apple through this link.

Yoga 2 Pro REAL Screen Resolution

SECOND THREAD on this HERE.
I've just discovered that the Yoga 2 Pro seems to be fudging its screen resolution claim. I wouldn't care, except ... it actually has become a small problem ... and one that I presume will get bigger over time
The Y2P has a "3200x1800" screen. It's beautiful. And in most regards its also overkill, since there's no such thing as 3200x1800 content, AND because it cause some issues with size of things on the screen. For this reason, and because pushing fewer pixels will tend to improve battery life, I run my Y2P at 1920x1080, or "normal full HD" resolution.
I recently tried to log into an on-line app I use, as was greeted with a strange error message:
Well, since I'm running 1920x1080 and using a current version of the Chrome browswer, none of that made sense. I tried Internet Explorer as well ... no luck.
I installed Speccy, a tool to check things out inside a computer, and when I got to the display settings, here's what I found:
That's right; I'm "set to 1920x1080", but something is seeing that the REAL resolution is 1280x720. Oh, and elsewhere in Speccy I found that the Y2P is reporting itself as a tablet rather than as a computer ... which probably isn't the issue here, but still unsettling.
So I changed the resolution to 3200x1800. Good news: I was able to get to the web app I need. BAD NEWS: The real resolution appears to be 1600x900:
I called Lnove tech support and got a representative who tells me that this is a Windows 8.1 problem; Windows 8.1 cannot support resolutions higher than 1920x1080, so even though the actual hardware resolution of the Y2P is 3200x1800, it needs to scale itself so Windows doesn't cry. This appears to be false (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/03/21/scaling-to-different-screens.aspx), but I don't really know.
As such, my conclusion is that the representative told me something that was actually the opposite of correct, with correct SEEMING to be that the maximum REAL resolution of the Y2P hardware is in fact 1600x900, with Lenovo's claim of a 3200x1800 resolution being a software/upscaling/interpolation trick.
If that's so, it's really distressing, because it would appear to be a lie about hardware capabilities.
I didn't start out caring about that, although obviously as this point I feel like I've uncovered a smoking gun and would like an answer from Lenovo. But at the end of the day, since I don't need or want that 3200x1800 for the reasons I explained at the top of this post, I just want to know the truth—whatever it is— and to know how to get Windows to report the same resolution to "the world" that it's reporting to me, the user.
And I guess I wouldn't mind knowing why the scaling between real and interpolation is different depending on the settings one selects, too (do the math).
Anyone know anything conclusive? And even better, anyone from Lenovo have an ideas what the truth is here?

I don't know if any of these settings (resolution and/or item sizing) affects battery duration. But you could do a battery test: set it to one mode with full battery charge and then leave it on unused until the battery is 50%. Check how long that took. Repeat for the other mode and compare the time difference if any.
As to why there are these two layers of settings I think this is the answer: Windows metro apps and some Windows desktop application and the new elements in Windows 8 (the new start screen, the charms bar and all metro apps) have smart scaling of user interface elements (text, buttons and so on) designed to support very high resolution screens like ours. So buttons and text in such programs will adapt in size to fit the resolution. But older desktop applications, including the Windows 8.1 desktop taskbar and its icons it seems, does not do such smart scaling. So running them full resolution mean that everything is really tiny. To work around that everything can be scaled up to 200% (or 150% or 125%). I suspect that future versions of Windows or some Windows update may improve these things since the settings and the button descriptions in the settings aren't very user friendly.
But I'm not sure about this. I hope someone in the know jumps in this thread and gives more details.
It is a pity that Lenovo doesn't provide new Yoga 2 Pro users with a user friendly guide with information and tips on good ways to deal with resolutions and these scaling settings.

Yoga 2 Pro Cracked Screen and more....

I ordered a Yoga 2 Pro direct from LENOVO very late December - delivered around January 1st.
I didn't have the time to unpack and examine for about a week.
I unpacked and first turn on the computer around January 7...and over the next few days spent just a brief amount of time setting it up, updating, etc.
My time playing with the computer was brief...just 30-45 minutes every other day or so..nothing more than a general look and feel.
I was impressed with the look and feel...the build quality and performance.
Over the weekend things changed for the worse....I was working with the unit in my living room in the morning....closed the lid...placed in on the coffee table.
Later in the afternoon - some 4-5 hours later....I sat down, picked up the Yoga 2 Pro, and in short order noticed a crack extending from top left - just at the end of the LENOVO name - down to the middle of the bottom.
The Yoga 2 was treated with white glove delicacy the entire time since it left it's box.
I currently have numerous laptops (including 2 LENOVO) and tablets...from APPLE, ACER, LENOVO, AMAZON, etc.
I have never experienced anything like it.
The ONLY ideas I can come up with fall into two categories:
1 - the design is inherently flawed.
There is noticeable flex in the unit - both the keyboard and screen - yes - it is minimal (I never twisted or stressed it in anyway beyond gentle normal operation. Perhaps the glass can't handle it? Maybe theglasssize / installissuchthatitcan'thandlethenormalstress?
2 - The unit has issues with thermal expansion.
During the 4-5 hours when the laptop was on my coffee table - the sun had come through the window and warmed my coffee table and everything on it. The Yoga 2 was noticeably very warm when I sat down to work on it. I thought I heard a very faint 'crack' or 'snap' sound as I was opening the screen..Though I can't be sure.
Wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?
I called LENOVO this morning and have shipped the unit back for a full refund.
The other 'issue' was the native resolution - running programs and apps.
The screen is very hi resolution and looks good. (though it was on the dark side .... even with max brightness darker areas of photos / videos loose distinction...everything goes to black...maybe I could have adjusted otherwise but never got the chance...)
Chrome browser running as a WIN 8 app is useless....the font is so tiny you need jewlers loops to see anything - and trying to use a fingertip for navigation is impossible.
The same for other funtions...yes, the very high resolution is great -but usability is very limited and will require running in a lower - non native resolution if youy want to run applications / software.
Thanks

Hi, I too have had the same problem. I had received my Lenovo Yoga 2 "Pro" today and when I first put it on my lap and opened it, I heard a crack. Oh what a traumatising sound it was. I investigated further and found that I had the same crack as yours. From the Lenovo sign all the way to the middle...
I'm pretty sure the Yoga 2 "Pro" isn't so much of a Pro after all. The build quality is something out of a $500 laptop. The ridiculously thin glass and the bendy plastic isn't ideal at all, the Lenovo team clearly did not know how to design a laptop. I mean afterall, this is Lenovo "the king of laptops".
The reason why I am so offensive is because I had an unforgettable experience with my Surface 2 a couple of months ago. On the same day I received it the device crashed. I took it to a separate serviceman because Microsoft couldn't be bothered to have proper worldwide support. The Nvidia Tegra processor was faulty. You know, it always baffles me why Apple is considered the best. It's because it is, come to think of it. I have NEVER heard of a hardware issue out of ANY Apple device. The build quality on Apple devices is so professionally made, so professionally examined that it is completely out of Lenovo's league. No company can compete with Apple on build quality.
Apple are professional unlike Lenovo.

Screen dims randomly with Mac Pro - NOT a Macbook

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my screen will dim randomly when watching movies or YouTube. This is on my early 2008 Mac Pro - not a Macbook Pro which seems to have this problem commonly. I've searched and searched and lots of people have this problem with a Macbook Pro (battery saving feature or something) but there are no options to defeat screen dimming that I can find for a Mac Pro!! Mountain Lion just keeps getting worse and worse!
HelP!

Hello, thanks for taking the time to help me out!
This is a 2008 MacPro (2x2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) running Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.4.
I am running two monitors: a HannsG HH281 and a Hewlett PAckard HP w2408h.
When this first was happening back in March 2013, I thought it had something to do with the ambient light sensor on the HP (the HannG doesnt have a light sensor), but it also might have has something to do with the dynamic contrast on the HannsG. I had shut those features off, and I actually hadn't had this problem in a while and there has been a few Mountain Lion updates since then.
I just tried to reproduce this by turning on/off the dynamic contrast on the Hanns G - did not get the problem
again. I also just turned the ambient light sensor on for the HP, and again, the problem did not occur.
So it is hard to say if the problem is gone away or not or if it just is not showing itself at the time being?

Best feature of Yoga 3 Pro? What would you change?

For those who have Yoga 3 Pro systems, what do you think are the best features after having used it for a while?
What new features or changes would you want to see on future models?
Thanks!

Hello,
I have mainly used my Yoga as a document creation station (Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, etc.), so I am looking at it from that perspective.
The Good:
Screen is bright and high enough resolution so that I can see a full page of information.
System does not weigh much (but see below)
The Meh:
function and meta keys missing. making it harder to use Microsoft Office
yet another keyboard layout to learn
no TrackPoint (I find the touchpad so abhorrent that I use a Lenovo N700 wireless mouse)
Micro HDMI port
yet another one-off power supply connector
I'm concerned about how this notebook computer will last over the long-term; while it seems fine, so far, it is so thin that I'm concerned it is not very durable
the external AC adapter (see below)
The Asks:
Frankly, I would be happy to have a thicker, heavier unit. Adding a few millimeters to the thickness and a few 100 grams to the weight would be fine by me. It would make the unit appear more solid and less likely to break.
Can I have te function keys back, please? Also meta keys (PrtScn, ScrollLock, SysReq, etc.)
Can you please standardize on a power connector and use it across multiple lines and models?
Standardize on one video conector so each laptop doesn't have to get a bespoke set of adapter dongles. My preference would be MiniDisplayPort, as adapters for that are much easier to locate than for Micro HDMI.
The "wall wart" style AC to DC transformer is very small and does not take up a lot of space. It is also impossible to plug into many AC outlets that use decorative outlet covers, like my local coffeeshop chain does. As a result, I now have to carry an additional short AC power extension cord with my notebook computer. Frankly, I'd just rather have something like Lenovo's own Ultraslim AC adapter, with a detachable AC line cord. As an added bonus, if I travel to a new country, I can just get a new AC line cord conformal to local power outlets, and be up and running in no time.
Recovery media would be nice. Even DVDs are okay, since external USB DVD±RW disc drives are plentiful and inexpensive.
That is all I can think off off the top of my head.
Regards,
Aryeh Goretsky

My Macbook display changes color when I open applications. It looks like there is a light blue layer over the screen, thus changing the color of my display. This layer goes away when i quit the applications.

I am facing a problem and I am not sure if its a graphic card malfunction. When I open applications like Chrome, VLC player, and most apps, my display suddenly changes color. It is as though the Theme was changed. The normal grey panel on opened windows turns to light blue and everything else seem as though there is a light blue layer on top of it. When I close these applications (quit) the display returns to its normal self.
My MacBook Pro is 2 years old, and I have an extended warranty. Will Apple replace my graphic card if it is actuall the graphic card's problem?

I had that problem, too, and it's been documented both here and on the Adobe forums. What happens is that when you have dynamic switching on, when an application that uses your discrete GPU kicks in, the screen will change color. My problem lasted for a couple of weeks then just vanished.
What you need to do is download Cody Krieger's gfxCardStatus and turn off dynamic switching and leave your GPU set to discrete only. That's the only fix that I know of at this time. I don't know why it happens or why mine stopped.
Good luck,
Clinton

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.

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.
