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.

UVC Support for Yoga tablets?

I recently purchased a Yoga 8 and love it. I upgraded to Kit Kat. However, the tablet appears to lack support for UVC external cameras.
How can UVC support be enabled for Yoga tablets? I know rebuilding the kernel and flashing it is one option, though that seems like overkill. Another option could be to flash stock Android, but I am not sure what that would do to the tablet.
Are there any easier options for enabling UVC support on a Yoga tablet?
Thank you,
Saish

I rang Lenovo Support to see if I could get any further clarification on this and the person I spoke to cast doubt on whether KitKat would be coming to anything other than the soon to be released Yoga 10 HD+. It was suggested that model would be released in May and receive the KitKat upgrade in June.
I mentioned media articles claiming that KitKat would be coming to all Yoga tablet models, and he gave the impression that support and updates for the original Yoga 8 and 10 models could end on release of the new model and that they may not even be capable of handling KitKat in any case.
I don't know whether that information is any more reliable or accurate than what has previously been posted, or is perhaps just more confusion and contradiction to add to the mix.

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).

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!

it supports only Fat file system, ...so it will support pendrives bt it will nt support Hard disk.. If you want to make HDD work you have to root it.

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.

Make clear FM app on Lenovo Tablet

Hello,
I am looking for a tablet which has the analog FM (not the one over WiFi).
In the beginning I was looking for
A2107 which seems have the radio ad default:

Also a2109 reports a radio in the documentation

s6000 / a3000
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Android-based-Tablets/Lenovo-S6000-radio-FM-works/td-p/1331217
In the end, is Fm radio supported by lenovo tablet ?
Is it market dependant (e.g. only available in south america countries ) ?
Can someone shimmer a light ?
Thanks,
rosma

Install A3000 FM tuner on S6000 - I found a link to the A3000 FM tuner software which was easily installed onto the S6000.
I can't remember where I saw the reference - maybe on this site but google for A3000 FM tuner apk or software and you should find the article and link to the software.
It works great and is the best FM tuner I have used, ever! Very sensitive, easy to tune with lots of preset slots for quick tuning.
Please remember though that you must have the earphones or a link cable plugged into the S6000 earphone socket to work as an aerial. If I recall correctly, you can switch playback between earphones and the onboard loudspeakers or use the bluetooth function to transmit to offboard loudspeakers.

Lack of support for the Android Tablet Forum

It seems there is a lack of Lenovo involvement in the Android Tablet forum. I'm posting here in order to point this out as someone with Lenovo really needs to follow up on the issues there. Many of us are waiting on the Lollipop update for our tablets and the roadmap states that an update was released, yet no consumers have it. It even went so far that a Lenovo employee told people that their Lollipop update would be released country by country starting that day, and almost a month later, no one on the forum has it (possibly no one worldwide). This lack of support will drive some customers away. We don't ask for much, just keep us up to date and let us know that our issues are not ignored. Right now, we feel ignored. The hardware of the tablets are very nice and extremely capable, we just need some guidance and answers.

Lenovo just doesn't care. All they want is a quick sell with absolutly NO SUPPORT !!.They may well sell good hardware but it is all useless without some support. Are all companys this bad?

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.

No Direct support for BlackBerry PlayBook tablet - why not I just bought it?

I've just bought a playbook. It says it comes with complimentary technical support for 90 days form the date of purchase. I have attempted to register the device using the S/N number as required and I get the following:
Unfortunately, your BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet does not qualify for Complimentary Support. You can, however, get assistance using incident based support from Research In Motion.
Why? grrrrrrrrrrrr

It should be. The complimentary support is just for help setting it up.
If you visit http://blackberry.com/support and follow the link for PlayBook you should get a phone number you can call, and RIM support will be able to help you.

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

Lenovo Tablet 2 Installation Problems - Help would be GREATLY appreciated as Lenovo WILL NOT HELP.

Hi everyone. I've been pulling my hair out with this and I'm just about at my breaking point after 15 some hours of messing with this but I thought I would give it one last shot.
I have a Lenovo Tablet 2 that originally came with Windows 8 and later was upgraded via the store to 8.1. When I went to do a complete format and re-install it asked me for media. This product does not come with media. I figured the worst thing was that I would have to go the long way and install Windows without the recovery partition and reinstall all the drivers manually. Boy was I wrong. I booted to my UEFI enabled USB Windows 8.1 installer stick which was created using the new Mediacreationtool that Microsoft released to make either an ISO or USB stick. Knowing this is UEFI only (more on that later), I downloaded the ISO and created the USB stick using RUFUS. That booted fine and i blew away all the partitions and started the install. Install goes fine until the very last step and says "windows could not update the computer's boot configuration". The end. Game over. I can't get past this. I've tried the following:
1. Created a DaRT disc and did a complete clean of the drive
2. tried a Windows 10 Disc - same thing
3. Tried to edit the BCD using bcdedit command (more on that later) and nothing.
I've probably done a half dozen other random things and I'm still back at the same position here. The big issue with this device is that it is 32BIT UEFI only BIOS. Terrible to work with because everything considers UEFI to be a 64bit only function so there isn't much that I can even get to boot.
Back to BCD Edit. Anything I try to do just gives me the result of "The boot configuration data store could not be opened. The volume for a file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer valid.". I cannot createstore, edit the store, or do anything with it.
Again, i'm at wits end here. I contacted Lenovo and it's out of warranty so they told me to pound sand. I asked them just for a recovery media which every device should come with and **bleep** the OEMs for not doing that aymore and they told me to go pound the same mound of sand. Help would be GREATLY appreciated. This thing is slowly walking it's way to the trash can. It's a mental thing at this point now and I have to get this working. Please help. Thank you.

Yup, we had to do a clean install and same issue nothing will work after a stock clean install of windows 8.1 pro or 8 pro or 8n or 8.1n or any 8-1 for that mater we tried 6 loads with same issue on the IO file for the atom CPU Chipset...When you try to download the drivers from there site for the IO drivers and install it stop there and does not work with there Leveno drivers and if out of warentee they do not even care if there own leveno drivers for 8.1 do not work with 8.1 for the IO drivers on Leveno download site...When we called Microsoft they even sugest getting another tablet from another better supported MFG. WOW I own 4 Leveno products and almost got a new tablet a few nights ago but will not get any more leveno products till I research the issues they have with stock roms! Reinstalls should be much more friendly and updates should be listed correctly on the web site...They do not say it is a ported win8.0 frankinstien windows load when you buy their tablet. But they should say it is kinda windows 8.0 almost and that only there usb key will let you reaload the hack-up windows the tablet needs.
