T440s fn

Hello,
I am new on the forum and not so good with my Thinkpad T440s....
I would like to choose the parameter of my keyboard and fn butons that are now unused.
Do i have to download a driver because in the panel control of the computer, there's nothing.
Also I would like to print screen without use the snapshot
Thanks for your help

Defective t440s and the worst customer support I've ever received

2 months ago I purchased a t440s that arrived defective. Notably, the screen was the upgraded FHD IPS panel. My unit came with the LG model, which is notorious for being defective. The screen had bad viewing angles (its main selling point...), about 1.5 inches of light bleed along the bottom, and significant yellow tinting outside of a medium-sized circle in the middle of the screen. Additionally, the trackpad was too far left in its housing and would ocassionally *get stuck beneath the case* and ALWAYS scrape against it.
After waiting 3 weeks for my laptop to arrive, I requested a repair after owning it for 2 days and sent in my laptop-- at the end of September. I didn't receive any updates on the status of my repair until several days ago. I was unable to answer the call and the voicemail Lenovo left only said that my repair was pending. After attempting to contact support myself and being placed on hold for absurd lengths of time, I gave up.
Earlier today I received another call. The rep told me that my laptop wouldn't be able to BEGIN being repaired until November 24th, at the very least. This is due to a backorder on replacement screens. I'm assuming that's because they're having to replace more than just a few.
The rep offered to have my laptop swapped with a new unit, yet I'll have to speak with another person who won't be calling me until "sometime next week" to actually have this done.
The girl I spoke with to initially request my repair was very kind and knowledgeable. Everything following that has been unacceptable at best.
I purchased from Lenovo after being told by numerous peers that their quality was legendary across the board. I don't think I'll ever purchase another Lenovo product in my life and I will definitely try to dissuade anyone from making the same mistake I did.
You suck, Lenovo. You really **bleep**ed me here.

I gotta say that when I was dealing with customers services I thought they were fantastic, and this was back in June. Now my player has sadly broken again...ugh...twice in a year...which is making me consider just buying something else, I know all mp3 players are reportedly like this, but its just not right... ...and I'm pretty sure Creative just have a big warehouse of faulty Zen's which they put all the faulty ones in when they get returned, and then they just pick up another one and send it out to you. I also find it ridiculous that there is no telephone support for everyone...which would solve alot of problems... I sent Customer Support an e-mail, so when should I hear back? My Zen doesn't charge properly, and for the past couple of days any time i turn it on it just freezes...Message Edited by Kid-Eternity on 2-0-200608:23 AM

Ubuntu 13.10 on a T440 - Wifi, Sound, Fingerprint reader and TrackPoint issues

I recently got my t440 and put Ubuntu 13.10 on it and have had a few problems pop up. Hopefully someone here can help, or I will find solutions and post here as things get working again.
Wifi - I have a Thinkpad 11b/g/n 2x2 wireless card. I do not believe there are currently Linux drivers provided for this card. According to thinkwiki, the 1x2 version of the card works with real tek's rtl8192se driver; I have tried to load it with modprobe, but it does not work for this card. There might be a solution to this with ndiswrapper, but I haven't been successful. I have ordered an intel wireless card to replace this one.

Sound - The sound works when ubuntu boots, but usually crashes shortly thereafter. There are some known sound issues with 13.04 and 13.10, but I haven't been successful stopped the problem with their suggestion.

Fingerprint reader - All previous thinkpads had AuthenTec fingerprint readers; this generation ships with Validity readers. Info on thinkwiki is describes installing fprint, but fprint does not recognize the validity reader. This post looks promising.

TrackPoint - The trackpoint pointer works fine, but lenovo did away with the physical left/middle/right click buttons. The top on the touchpad can be pressed (in windows) for left/middle/right click, but I haven't gotten this functionality enabled in Ubuntu yet. Might be able to fix this in the xorg.conf file
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Synaptics_TouchPad_driver_for_X

Fingerprint reader- above links do not resolve the problem. fprintd and frprint-demo do not recognize the Validity fingerprint sensor. My issues are the same as described in this post.

How do I reliably select text or highlight text with t440s trackpad?

It's astounding to me that you remove so many buttons that most users rely on regularly, and then don't provide any obvious instructions or tutorials on how to use all this functionality.
So I'm trying to do something incredibly simply with buttons -- select some text to copy or paste or cut. I'm using Windows 7 on a t440s.
Apparently the only way to do this -- unreliably -- is to hold the trackpad down (press it all the way in -- not easy to do with one finger!), and try and get the whole thing you need to select in one swoop. If you've mis-positioned your finger on the trackpad to begin the operation, though, you'll run out of space before you get to the edge of the trackpad. And then you need to start over. And keep trying to do it, until you get it.
So now an incredibly simple action I did a dozen times a day before the t440s has become nearly impossible. The 3 times I've tried to do it so far, it's taken me a half dozen times each time. It's not gotten easier.
Which makes me believe I'm missing something here...
So what's the easiest way to select some text on a page, and quickly copy it?
If I get find a simple way to do this, sadly, this laptop might be going back. I can't believe this trend to remove the trackpad buttons amongst manufacturers. If I wanted to buy a Mac, I would've bought a Mac.

You can start by selecting a small portion of text, then release the clickpad, then hold down a Shift key and single-click at the end of the text to be selected -- the selection will expand to encompass the whole text segment ending at your last click.
If you prefer tapping to clicking, in most apps you can start by double-tapping on a word (word gets selected) then use Shift in the same way as above, ending with a single-tap.

T440 or L440 for a student - not sure which to buy!

I'd like some opinions please...
I am a student in the UK looking to buy a laptop around late August/early September 2014. I will require the following from it:
Haswell i3 or i5
8GB RAM
1600x900 or 1920x1080 display
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Good build quality
Not too big or heavy, so a 14" display would probably be more ideal than a 15.6"
A touchscreen may be nice, but is not essential
I will be doing a lot of programming on it, so a good keyboard is a must, and I will be doing photo editing and web design on it too, so it needs to be powerful.
I would really like this laptop to last for a long time (and by that, I mean around 5-6 years) and to be well-built. I don't particularly have a budget, but the T440 specced out below comes to £835 and I'd say that is the very top of my budget.
I am keen on a ThinkPad (used to own an A31 and an R40) and looking specifically at the L and T series. I'd like to buy something new and with a Haswell processor.
I've specced out the following machines, do you think it would be worth paying the extra for the T440? Or would the L440 be perfectly adequate and last me as long as I'd like it to last?

I could possibly buy a 256GB SSD for this to speed it up, or upgrade the i3 to an i5 4200M (but I think the only difference between the i3 4000M and the i5 4200M is the slightly higher stock speed on the i5 and the turbo boost?)

I don't think I can spend more than this on a laptop.
My only worry is with buying the T440 is that it may draw attention and I may risk getting it stolen. I'll need to think about that.
Is there any massive reason to buy a T series over an L series?
I have looked that the L540 with a 1080p display, but I'd prefer to stick to the 14" laptops for portability's sake.
I am genuinely interested to see which you think would be better.
Thanks!

I recently acquired a T440s so I may be able to speak on some points, maybe not on others.
My specs:
i5 4200
4gb RAM upgraded to 8gb
Win7 64
256gb SSD
Integrated 4400 graphics
1600x900 HD+ screen
3 cell battery (plus internal 3 cell)
Other stuff..
I do not do anything worth mentioning with photo or video editing, but I do quite a bit of programming, typing, circuit simulation, etc...
The keyboard is very good. I have an R61 with what I always considered to be one of the best laptop keyboards I've used. This one is 99% that good. The trackpoint/trackpad combo works very well for precision visual programming like LabVIEW. The new trackpoint/trackpad setup is a point of contention among Thinkpad users, but I personally like it just fine. It is still WAY ahead of most cruddy touchpads out there no matter what you think of it.
Even though everyone raves about the new IPS 1080 screen on Thinkpads, the 1600x900 HD+ screen suited my needs fine, and I used to funds that would have been put towards the FHD screen to an external 23" IPS 1080 monitor. I will say, the 1600x900 TN screen really doesn't have the best color reproduction. I would not want it for photo editing. I would say either spring for the 1080IPS FHD display on the T440, get an external monitor, or both.
The i5-4200 with 4400 graphics has never left me wanting for more. It does all that I ask of it in simulations without any problems. The only CAD that I do is the occasional circuit board mockup so I can't speak to the effectiveness of the integrated graphics for your needs. I would look further into whether or not the integrated 4400 would be acceptable.
I am very glad i got the SSD. I picked up an external 500GB hard drive to handle backups and excess media. It's kind of a personal taste type thing. If you are OK with spending the extra money for less storage and a little pickup in speed then go for it. The fact that the SSD is not susceptible to damage from moving the computer around was important to me.
I find the computer extremely portable and light, though I am coming from a ~5.5lbs R61 that necessitated carrying around a 2lb power adapter due to nonexistent battery life. I get at least 5 hours out of the battery, usually more like 6 or 7 if I'm not doing simulations.
I don't know what it is like there, but I don't worry about theft in my college atmosphere. I guarantee if you put a Macbook next to a Thinkpad and walk away, the Macbook gets stolen. The Thinkpad is just an under the radar machine, and most students don't seem familiar with them. That said, my computer is never out of my eyesight. If you must leave it in a dorm room, get a good lock for it.
It's possible to save ~$40 and upgrade the RAM yourself. This procedure is not fun, but doable on the T440s. I have heard that the T440/T440P are easier to deal with.

T440s - one year after

Since it's back to school/college time a friend asked me what laptop to
buy and my opinion of the T440s I'm using now for one year. I wrote him
back the following, which may also be interesting for some of you:
*** the good ***
- The formfactor.
~1.5kg is IMHO the upper limit for a laptop and this is fine.
I really don't care about thickness. And I like the "sharp" edges.
- The snug fit of the battery, nothing sticks out.
I like it when protection sleeves "just fit".
- The HD screen.
The picture is great - but maybe I was just lucky to get an AUO panel.
- The keyboard.
I like it overall. There appear to be different versions, the keys on
mine feel just fine. I like the position of PageUp/Down on the side of
the cursor keys. I would like to have "delete" also somewhere near... hmmm.
- Integrated WWAN.
Best money ever spent.
- Integrated smartcard reader.
Thank you for supporting easy security on the go!
This is a thing I miss in smaller laptops the most and I don't want
to carry around a USB reader.
- During low/medium CPU loads fan does not run. So when one just does e.g.
text editing work you can easily do this in bed and not worry that the fan
sucks up dust fast.
*** the meh ***
- Only one light, on the power button.
Can I have please at least another to indicate current (de-)charging status?
- I miss the thinklight, but the backlit keyboard does its job.
- The speakers/headphones are noisy. When audio is off you don't hear anything,
but if one hears audio you constantly hear a background hiss. I'm aware that
with such tight integration some electric interference is possible, however
I'm still disappointed compared to my previous laptops.
- The keyboard.
Who had the glorious idea to combine two rows of keys into one and to make media
keys the default instead of F-keys?
So I set F-keys as default. Now my keyboard has 3 lights always on:
F-lock, audio mute and microphone mute. This is annoying.
- The keyboard wears out over time. Now, after about one years, the keys begin
to feel a bit mushy. Its still ok, but... well, ask me in a year again.
- The keyboard. It gets greasy very fast and in summer it is impossible not
to sweat. So one has to clean it very often, or the screen gets dirty
from the keys also fast. Unfortunately, cleaning the keyboard is delicate
as wiping sideways one has to be careful to not apply too much force.
- Battery length.
I would prefer a longer battery runtime. I would accept more weight and
a thicker machine - however, no batteries which stick out at the back.
Maybe a thin battery slice at the bottom?
- Bottom cover.
Removing the bottom cover and servicing the machine is painful. The plastic
latches break too easily. My machine had the HDD replaced with a SDD, then
the WWAN was installed, then the clickpad broke and had to be serviced.
Every time another latch broke (yes, also by the Lenovo serviceman...) and
now it does not close properly on one side.
Ok, one seldom opens the machine, but still.... this can be done better,
see other brands.
- My screen has developed a white dot.
I very much care for my machine and always transport it in a neoprene sleeve,
so I'm quite sure no force was applied. But it's in a corner of the screen,
so I don't care much.
- My Samsung 840 Pro almost got killed (only half-erased, haha...). It's the
SSD's firmware fault, but still, such a thing should not happen with such a
popular device on the market.
- I was just lucky to not trip on any of the other BIOS suicide bugs, like
booting an UEFI Linux... no one in quality control tried Linux before shipping?
- Lenovo service hotline is very friendly. However in Europe they appear to
be far away in an Eastern country. The phone line is always noisy and even
spelling one's own Email address does not assure that it is recorded
correctly. The service line works, but is a pain.
- Replacing the back battery while the machine is on sometimes works, sometimes
not. If not, a workaround is to hibernate to ram, wake up again and then it
gets detected. Again, why are machines shipping with such a basic bug?
*** the bad ***
- Build quality.
We bought several machines end of 2013/beginning of 2014.
Three quarters of them developed a hardware problem (screen bezel, mainboard
faulty, palm rest broken, etc.) and had to be serviced (one was nearly half
a year in depot for repair!)
In early 2014 our sysadmins blacklisted Lenovos of the *40 series as they
produced just too much work for them. Now no one gets a Lenovo unless one
has a _very good_ reason and personally speaks to admins.
We now buy all our laptops from a different brand.
Many years ago a friend proudly showed me his IBM Thinkpad. He deliberately
shoved it off the table on the floor. I was shocked, but he shrugged his
shoulders and said "they are built to survive that". Today, IMHO the
Thinkpads are no longer better than other brands.
- Screen.
My screen has the known production defect that the right bezel comes off.
I have on-site service so this should be fixable under warranty easily,
however I'm too afraid to call Lenovo for a replacement because I might
get a LG panel. Lenovo is earning money because customers are afraid to
call service they paid for.
- The clickpad. And no hardware mouse buttons.
Seriously, what are/were they thinking?
If you just need to left-click from time to time stationary at a desk it is
fine. All other uses are a constant pain. Right clicks, middle clicks,
combination of clicks, click and drag, in the train, in a plane, anywhere
mobile.... essentially every mobility use case a work laptop is intended for.
Also, by design, a huge pad which one has to mechanically click down is
just a stupid idea. You never get any good precision with that in the long
run, and the resulting noise in a conference meeting - embarrassing.
Also, the constant software driver issues.... seriously?
Make it smaller, no pressing down of whole pad, silent, 3 hardware buttons...
...make it "just work"!
....ok I stop now...
Overall, this will probably be my last Thinkpad (after many years).
As soon as the new Broadwell generation comes I will get rid of this thing.
Thinkpads are no more premium build quality than any other brand and the
clickpad was the last issue which essentially makes buying another Thinkpad
impossible.
Hope this rant helps someone...
...and everything is IMHO of course, your views may differ and I respect that.

Are you asking how much the Creative Cloud Photography Plan will cost after the initial year? AFAIK, it'll still be $9.99 USD/month (or $119.88/year), minus inflation.

Lenovo T440 left-klick not working properly

Hi!
3 weeks ago, I bought a new T440 laptop. It is one of those that have the buttons for trackpoint users painted on the touchpad. Because I prefer the trackpoint, I've disabled the touchpad function, so now it is only used for left- and right-clicks. Unfortunately, in the last week or so, the left-click function has become poorer and poorer. Sometimes it works with the first click, but often I have to click twice for something to happen, sometimes even 3-5 times. When it doesn't work, I have to use some force and not just click, but rather hit the touchpad with my thumb. That usually gets the click through. But it's time consuming and annoying, because I never know how many clicks it will take to open anything. Right-click seems to be working fine, but I also don't use it that often.
I have 3 years of warranty on this computer, but I bought it in Estonia, as I was visiting my family for a week. Now I'm back in Germany where I study and I'm not sure I can use the warranty here.... Right now, the only solution would be buying an external mouse, but I have to be mobile with my laptop and a mouse would be a nuisance anywhere other than at my own desk.
I would be very thankful for any ideas on how to solve this problem or even just for information on what might be causing the problem.

If you open the Lenovo Solution Centre, should normally be a red "blob" on the taskbar, it will show your system details. You need to enter the first four numbers / letters of the "Product" on the IWS site. Alternatively you should be able to find the number in the battery bay after removing the battery.

T440 - DWM service is crashing in windows 7 64 bit after installing drivers for USB Replicator

Dear All,
Good day!,
This will be my first post to the community and looking forward for an expert advise on the issue am facing with Lenovo ThinkPad USB Port Replicator with Digital Video drivers in Enterprise 64bit running on T440, following are the details:
Environment:
Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit installed on T440 where all drivers are up to date for all devices though (System Update 5) tool.
Requirement: Usage of Lenovo ThinkPad USB Port Replicator with Digital Video (M01060) which will be connected to .
Steps followed:
Connected to the port replicator before installing the device driver.
Download and installed device driver from the link: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-73088
3. Issue: After installing the device driver above, system reboots and after logging back using the local admin account or any other windows account (DWM service) crashes along with any other software installed (Ms. Office, Lync, IE9, ...ext). Tried uninstalling the driver, rebooted and Windows runs smoothly again back with no errors.
4. Questions:

Which USB version Lenovo ThinkPad USB Port Replicator with Digital Video has ? (2.0 or 3.0) ? did I missed some special drivers for USB ?
Any other links for the above driver can be found for Win 7 Enterprise 64bit ?
For 3 days, am searching the web for a similar issue, found and followed all troubleshooting steps mentioned by others but none of them helped. I will really appreciate your support if any expert can advise. Thanks in advanced

I have the same problem with my T400 updated to Win 7 pro. Not happy.

T440s & Windows 7 in UEFI mode

Hi,
I try to install Windows 7 on my T440s. However, I fail booting the USB stick with error code 0xc000000d ("An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data"). I created the USB stick as described in the Forum here (http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-Knowledge-Base/Prepare-an-usb-thumb-drive-to-boot-windows-7-in...). Also, the USB-Stick boots fine in UEFI mode on my old (HP) Laptop. Also I can boot on CSM-Mode Compatibility Support Module. I tried several other how-tos and what else Google answered search fo that error code (e.g. disabling USB3, disable nearly everything the UEFI BIOS could disable etc...). It really seems to be an issue in conjunction with that UEFI implementation...
I'm using latest UEFI BIOS (GJET64WW, 2.14).
Anyone successfully installed Windows 7 on that model? Any help would be appriciated.
Best regards,
falstaff
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
What do you mean by Also I can boot on CSM-Mode Compatibility Support Module ?
Windows 7 won't run in UEFI mode without CSM enabled. IIRC it may boot but won't run.
I don't have a T440s to test with, but here's how I make and boot a Win 7 UEFI installer: format a flash drive as a single partition - FAT32. Use an (un)archiving tool like 7zip in Windows to extract the contents of a Win 7 SP1 installer ISO to a flash drive. (or just copy a DVD to flash).
Boot it and install. IIRC the file manipulation required to create a bootable flash drive applied to pre-SP1 Win 7.

T440s Win 8.1 Remote Desktop two finger scrolling

Two finger touchpad scrolling in Chrome desktop mode has been pretty bad on my T440s until the recent driver update. But after the update, I've noticed now that in the tiles version of remote desktop, two finger scrolling no longer works. It acts as a right mouse click and hold to select text or drag. In the desktop version of remote desktop on windows 8.1, two finger scrolling works fine.
I saw an article about editing the Synaptics config file to get two figure scrolling to work in the desktop version by adding a lince that references mstsc.exe, but that line is already in my Synaptics config file. Not sure how to get Synaptics to pass gestures when using the tiles/metro version of RDP.
Any ideas?

Well, I've confirmed it. This is a Synaptics driver issue. I went back to a 16.X version and the scrolling within windows 8.1 tiles version of remote desktop works.
But, I can see what Synaptics did between these two drivers. In the latest version of the driver, two finger scrolling is now handled like trackpoint scrolling now. With trackpoint, if you hold the center button down and mobe the trackpoint vertically, a vertical scroll icon appears and scrolling works well in windows 8.1 and within a remote desktop session in using the tiles version. The vertical scroll icon appears in both cases. And when you do two figure scrolling in the desktop, the vertical scroll icon appears, but when you go to a remote desktop session (tiles version), two finger scroll does NOT work, no vertical scroll icon appears. In the remote desktop session, the two finger scroll is treated like a right click and drag. This is horrible because if you try to two finger scroll in an explorer window, you can accidentally move files or folders into other folders!!!! FRUSTRATING and dangerous!
In the desktop version of remote desktop, this is not an issue, when two finger scrolling happens, the vertical scroll icon does appear and scrolling works!
In the old version of driver, the two finger scrolling must be handled independently of the way trackpoint scrolls... there is never a vertical scroll icon but scrolling always works, albeit herky jerky and buggy in some programs. In the new version of driver, the bugginess is now fixed, except this new two finger scrolling issue has been introduced.
I think the suggestion about modifying the Synaptic tp4table.dat file is a good one except that I can't seem to add a windows 8.1 tiles app to this file... have no idea how to do that as the tiles apps are OS protected and are not exactly .exes. UGH! Ideas about this??
Just got off a horrible telephone support session trying to report this... tech kept asking me about my boot issues... I don't have boot issues! I don't expect any help to come soon... I guess I hope someone at Lenovo or Synaptic actually reads this stuff!
Please Synaptic... this should be a simple, quick fix.

Lenovo Settings Dependency Package for Windows 8.1 - fails on T440s

Hello everybody,
I just tried to install the Lenovo Settings Dependency Package for Windows 8.1 on my T440s and it repeatedly tells me that it fails because mfplatt.dll is missing. Has anybody experienced that and knows how to proceed in this case?
Thanks for your help

I confirm the problem on T510 too.
I have Windows 8.1 PRO N.
I installed the windows Windows6.3-KB2835517-x64.msu windows media package.
After this, I can restart Lenovo Settings Dependency Package and it works wright, without the error on MFPlat.dll
And after it works, my camera started to work correctly!
Bye

T440S OSD Brightness control failure after resume from Sleep

Hi,
I have owned a T440S since late 2013.
Relevant Details:
T440S
Model : 20AQCTO1WW
OS : Windows 7 professional (original installation by Lenovo)
Latest Drivers installed as of June 2014 - including HotKey and Power Management
HotKey ver : 8.30
Power Managment : 6.65.1
Since receiving this laptop, OSD birightness control has always failed to work, i.e. does not appear on the screen
when using the Fn+F5/F6 key combination nor does it control actual screen brightness AFTER FIRST resuming from sleep
mode.
Sequence of steps that demonstrates the above symptom:
1. OSD brightness works fine after reboot
2. Putting the machine to sleep (I do not use hibernate) for a duration longer than a few minutes
3. Open lid the first time, hit Fn to resume machine
4. Pressing Fn+F5/F6 key combo does not display the brightness slider nor does it control brightness
5. Closing the lid and opening it again, causes OSD brightness slider to flash brifely and is now fully functional
using Fn+F5/F6 keys
Your tech department should easily be able to re-create this issue on any stock T440S/Win7pro machine, as
I have seen others comment about this very issue across other T440/OS variants.
This very same behavior has been there since the beginning.
When is Lenovo going to FINALLY FIX IT ONCE AND FOR ALL?
Thx,
--Alon

Installing windows 7 on Lenovo T440s

Hello guys,
I'm having a problem to install windows 7 pro on my Lenovo t440s ( that came with windows 8 ) using a memory stick.
I went to the windows 7 installation menu and formatted the Windows 8 partition, so now I have :
Disk 0 Partition 1: WINRE_DRV 1GB OEM
Disk 0 Partition 2 : System_DRV 260MB System
Disk 0 Partition 3 128MB MSR
Disk 0 Unnallocated Space 225GB ( it was the old windows 8 partition )
Disk 0 Partition 4: Lenovo_Recory 12.1GB OEM
However, when i try to use the free space to install the windows 7 i get this error :
" Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partitions style. "
I tried to bot using Legacy Boot Only and after using UEFI/Legacy Boot and nothing changed, I'm still receiving the same error.
I read that I have to select each of the partitions on the drive, and select Delete. Then the drive will show a single area of unallocated space that I should use to install windows.
My question is, there is any problem in delete all my partitions of Lenovo T440s? Can I delete the OEM partitions?
What will happen after?
Thank you for the attention.
Solved!

IIRC, you need to use UEFI with a GPT partitioned disk.
If you wanted to keep Windows 8, you should have made recovery disks before nuking it. Otherwise, just nuke the partition table and start from scratch with either Legacy + MBR or UEFI + GPT.

T440s in Windows 7 Pro loses Wifi connection after sleep 7260AC

Hi guys,
I keep having issues waking up from sleep with my T440s. It WILL NOT connect to wifi and the wireless adapter under windows adapter settings disappears. Only thing that fixes this is a reboot. I have removed "allow windows to turn this device off" under wireless settings.
Driver: 17.12.0.4
Dated: 28/08/2014
Software: Lenovo Access Connections
I do not use windows to connect to WIFI. I have dedicated profiles for each of my wifi networks at home and work.
This is a serious productivity killer.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

This is a well-known issue with the AC card. Go take a look at the Intel forum.
You don't necessarily have to reboot to get the card back. Right click it in Device Manager and then disable/enable. It will come back online.
Some tips that have worked for many:
-DO enable the power saving setting. If I disable it on my T440p, the card is offline upon wakeup.
-Ditch ProSet and let Windows manage your wifi. Profiles might be convenient, but...
-Ad Hoc QoS - WMM enabled. Enable it on your router(s), too.
-Ht Mode - VHT
-U-APSD support - this one can go either way. Some leave it on and don't have an issue. Some have to disable it to have the card work after sleep. You have to play with it.
And, I really believe that the router/modem type can make a difference, too. Some just don't work right with this card no matter what you tweak on the card. With this card, I think an AC router/modem is the way to go.
Another thing is the driver itself. I had wake issues when I first got this ThinkPad about 10 months ago. Then, Intel released v 16.6 and that one fixed it. I've tried all of the 17s released since and all of them caused sporadic failures to wake. So, I have always rolled back to 16.6 and it always wakes.
Note this: If you use Lenovo Update, it won't create a restore point in Windows so your "Roll Back Driver" button might be greyed out in DM. Always manually create a restore point before you update a driver. And, if it's working, whatever it is, leave it alone. If the release notes don't address an issue you're having, skip it.
Driver updating is way oversold here and elsewhere. If you're determined to update anyway, at least don't be an early adopter. Let other peeps do it first and then come back here and see about the complaints! Also, you can download the driver at Intel in their Administrators sets of drivers. Bare drivers and no software overhead.
Good luck.
