Thinkpad Yoga: Digitizer only? Deactivate finger input

Hi everybody,
quick question: my Thinkpad x201 Tablet provided the option to deactivate finger input, i.e. use only the digitizer, which I quite like when making presentations, as this way no accidential input occurs when resting your hand on the screen while writing.
I now bought a Thinkpad Yoga 2. Couldn't figure out yet how to deactivate finger input there. Any ideas? Any workarounds?
Thanks a lot.

Okay guys, I just figured it out: finger input is automatically disabled as long as the digitizer is near the screeen. Quite fancy...

  • ThinkPad Yoga Digitizer Question

    I learned that the digitizer with Helix cannot be used as an eraser, does the ThinkPad Yoga digitizer have the same problem? Thanks

    Download and install the Wacom Feel driver from the link below, then go into your control panel and select 'Pen Tablet Properties'.

  • ThinkPad Yoga - Digitizer is not working

    Hello,
    I just received my new shiny TPY (again). The first time I got it, the digitizer wasn't working. After a bit of research I realized that it probably was a hardware issue (No digitizer, pen or wacom device in device-manager). So I send it back.
    The mainboard got replaced and today I have my machine back. It was all working fine including the digitizer.
    But from one minute to the other it stopped working and I can't find any wacom or digitizer devices in the device-manager.
    Now my first thought was, that the Windows updates messed something up, so I've done a rollback but it's still not working.
    Am I doing something wrong or is it a hardware issue again?
    Thanks for advance.

    Hello. It isn't a Hardware Problem. It seems to be a software problem after Windows 8.1 Update.
    I have the same problem :-( When I start the PC it works perfect, until I used it as Tablet. After that the Digitizer Pen didn't work. So I reinstalled all drivers. After that the pen worked.. so I tested it again as Tablet, after that. the Digitizer Pen didn't work. Now I installed all drivers again but the Pen didn't worked.
    It is a big problem at Lenovo, because Lenovo has problems with the pen software a long time. It is soooo sad because I love the Thinkpad Yoga but with this Problem the price isn't acceptable. So I am going to send it back and wait for the Surface Pro 3. Because Thinkpad stands for the perfect Business Notebook and now... Lenovo has with the digitizer pen more problems than all others. And this is very sad :-(

  • Thinkpad Yoga w/ active digitizer

    I've read that the 20cd0032us and 33us Thinkpad Yoga models are the only ones without an active digitizer.  However, this appears to be all that is for sale on Amazon and other places.  Any idea of where you can but a Thinkpad Yoga with an active digitizer??

    I recently acquired a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga, fully loaded except for one thing.
    I was told this unit was refurbished but actually had the active digitizer technology in it. Once the device arrived it had no pen and the slot where the pen is seems to be sealed shut, I attempted to check device manager and was greated with this:
    http://imgur.com/oJ7ChKR
    So i went to best buy to test a Wacom Pen on it
    It would register single "click" like presses, but it was choppy and dotted when drawing.
    Tried drawing a 5 inch line. It wouldn't form solid, it was just a point every inch after a solid stroke
    Since it registered input does it mean it's gonna work and just has to be calibrated or?
    I only bought this laptop because I needed to be able to do graphic design on the go so it is worthless if it doesnt have the technology.
    Please help, a very frustrated user.

  • 20C0001HUS Thinkpad Yoga with digitizer?

    Hi! I would like to buy this Thinkpad yoga model and I would like to know if the screen is digitizer enabled and it comes with the pen. What is the storage capacity on this model?
    I asked various vendors from this site and everybody tells me something different...
    http://www.shopbot.ca/pp-lenovo-thinkpad-s1-yoga-i5-4300u-20c0001hus-lenovo-price-483964.html

    So the majority of the vendors told me that the storage is 180Gb SSD and that the digitizer pen is not included. Anyway the screen is an fhd
    1920 x 1080, so my question is... If I buy a pen somewhere willl I be able to use the digitizer stylus anyway?
    Thank you

  • Digitizer to fit in thinkpad yoga

    Hello,
    I have one question, I'm planning to buy thinkpad yoga from online Netherlands... and I'm not sure whether the digitizer is included or not.... its not written anything on the list about digitizer while customizing the product.... does anybody know from where I can buy the correct wacom digitizer which can also fit in the holder of the thinkpad yoga...??? Thankss
    Solved!

    the wacom digitiser should be bonded to the LCD, and does not come as a separate part.

  • Thinkpad yoga 3rd party pen not working

    So i bought a thinkpad yoga, and it came today - which I am really happy about. There's a problem though - I bought the computer thinking that I would get a pen with it and an active digitizer. I bought the computer over the phone, and i got a confirmation email saying that the base was a FHD 1080 screen. Since the only two options for the computer are either with partial HD and NO pen or with FHD and a pen, i assumed I was getting a pen or at least a digitizer with the computer.
    After all, I paid for it in full. 
    The pen did not come with the computer, however i was told that if i bought a thinkpad pen separately, it would still work. I have a digitzer pen already, but it doesn't work on this computer. 
    I tried to download the firmware update for the digitizer, which didn't work. I got a notice saying
    Current version: ????
    New Version:
    and then it said that a connection could not be established. I also tried to download the wacom feel driver, but it said that a compatible tablet was not detected. 
    Does anyone have any inkling what is going on here? somebody please help!!! I really don't want to have to return the laptop and have to purchase a new one.

    When I bought my Yoga, on the Australian Lenovo website it explicitly states it as a Wacom digitizer:
    http://shopap.lenovo.com/au/en/laptops/thinkpad/yoga-series/
    Pretty much every Lenovo machine that carried an active digitizer in the past has been Wacom (apart from a couple times I think they used N-Trig, a comptetitor to Wacom).
    What lead_org means is B - the Full HD 1080p screen can be had with or without an active digitizer - if does have one, it is guaranteed to be a Wacom. 
    Techinically speaking, a touchscreen is a digitizer (passive rather than active, since it only works on contact with your finger or a capacitive pen as opposed to hover capabilities etc.). The active digitizer panel is a seperate component from the screen.
    With lesser quality, there is the possibility that there are some differences between each Wacom digitizer panel - however, they won't have another manufacturer's active digitizer panel in the mix with the same product.
    ATM, there are four different active digitizers that can be had - Wacom, N-Trig, Atmel and Synaptics. 
    The technology that drives each company's active digitizer is fundamentally different and won't work between different brands of digitizer. (e.g. a Wacom pen won't work with an N-Trig active digitizer panel, and vice-versa.) So you won't find a Yoga that has N-Trig or any other digitizer.
    Wacom and N-Trig are the main players - Atmel and Synaptics just aren't on the same level as them yet.
    Wacom - common on Lenovo, Fujitsu, Samsung (under the name S-Pen), Toshiba tablet pcs
    N-Trig - common on Sony, ASUS Taichi tablet pcs
    Atmel - so far on HP products only
    Synaptics - Dell Venue 8 and 11 Pro
    Sorry if I sound like I'm rambling on - I'll stop it here. You can always do some Google searches and read up about this a bit more. Below is a link that might help.

  • Issues with Thinkpad yoga on Windows 7 64-bit

    I uninstalled the windows 8.1 that came with my Thinkpad Yoga to installe windows 7 64-bit because there was no support for Power Manager ( a tool that allows you to charge your battery only upto a certain percentage (eg 40%) which helps reduce battery aging when the notebook is mostly operated on AC power).
    Doing that required me to fully clean the Hard-disk during the installation process.
    I installed almost all of the drivers available on  http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-yoga-series-laptops/thinkpad-...
    for thinkpad yoga and windows 7 64 bit.
    Happily, this provided me the Power manager, and I can use it just as I wanted.
    However, all these has brought in additional issues which are listed below:
    1. The touch pad right click doesn't work. Only two finger tap works as right click.
    2. The touch pad gestures for zoom and scroll doesn't work at all.
    3. The screen auto-rotate doesn't work.
    4. The touch screen gesture for zoom doesn't work.
    I did install the ultra-nav and screen-rotate drivers, but I get error messages regarding synaptics ... not working and also sensor driver not working during the windows startup.
    Any help please?
    Thank you.

    Just when I was happy that major issues have been resolved by constant updating, I am now experiencing this frightening problem. Mostly during startup, and lately in the middle of working, the screen freezes, shows very damaged image (like TV noise), produces the most unpleasant sound through the speakers and nothing works. I need to restart and hope that it will be ok. Sometimes it requires 2 or 3 restarts, going to safe-mode and returning back to get the issue resolved.
     This has happened three or 4 times within 24 hrs. I searched in the forum and for another model it was suggested that epresscache might be the cause. I disabled the service, but the problem reappeared even then.
    Any help please:
    This is what appears on the screen when the computer freezes and produces loud unpleasant noise sound.

  • Thinkpad Yoga - screen wear when using the pen

    I've been using penabled laptops for about 8 years now and bought a ThinkPad Yoga about 10 month ago.
    The pen turned out to be disappointing - it's a lightweight job reminiscent of the pens they include with Samsung Note and like phablets rather tha a proper full size Wacom pen.
    Just like other people I was also disappointed by the non removable plastic sheet protector on the screen in place of proper Gorilla glass screen cover.
    But well, overall, apart from the awful touchpad, it was a decent laptop and I've been always happy with my previous Thinkpads, so I kept it.
    Now, I'm using the pen a lot, incliding for scrolling. It turned out that the nib is not replaceable and that the plastic sheet protector on the screen is not hard enough to resist wear from the included pen - after 10 month of use it's pretty badly worn, especially in the scrolling area on the right.
    I've never had this issue with my previous penabled tablets, even after 3-4 years of use, so I must say I'm rather disapponted at Lenovo selling this as a penabled laptop when the screen could not stand up to daily use with the included pen.
    Does anyone else have this issue? Should I send it back to Lenovo to get the protective layer replaced while it's still under warranty?

    I had this very problem with my Yoga S1 display screen. The anti-glare foil/protector became scratched by the digitizer pen. After reading a bunch of posts about removing this film layer, it looked easy enough, so I decided to JUST DO IT.  My steps:
    I grabbed a sharp razor blade and started in the corner where the "Lenovo" logo is placed (bottom left). Very gently, I slid the blade edge under the film being careful not to dig, pry, or lift the blade any more than necessary -- just keep is as flat as possible and glide slowly about 1/2" or so making an equilateral triangle shape. The corner of the film will lift up losing its adherence and, in my case, I experienced zero damage. 
    I elected to continue sliding the blade along all four edges only 1/8" or so deep - just to make sure that the film was lifted across the entire perimeter. No problems whatsoever - smooth as silk. 
    I went back to the starting corner and slid the blade a little further (approx. an inch) so that there would be a triangular section large enough for my fingers to grab without cracking or breaking the film layer. 
    I began pulling from that corner slowly and gently making sure that my other hand was resting on the glass as a brace. Note that you should pull level with the screen not upward. I did not use a blow dryer and, as it turned out, it wasn't necessary. 
    When I got to the point  where one edge of the film was about at the center of the short width, I started pulling down that side until I reached the opposite corner. 
    I then continued pulling lengthwise working from edge to edge, then center, always keeping my other hand pressing lightly on the display screen glass (for leverage). If you want to avoid palm prints, wear a soft glove or put a microfiber cloth under your hand. 
    In no time at all, the entire sheet of film was removed in one piece - no cracks, breaks, or other problems. 
    There was no glue residue on the glass, so I just took a microfiber cloth and rubbed it to a gorgeous shine. 
    I fired up the laptop and was amazed at the extra clarity and color -- and NO SCRATCHES!
    Is there additional glare? Yes, of course, but I just tilt the screen to avoid it as I do with all my other devices. 
    I started working with the digitizer pen and, thus far, I see no evidence that it will scratch the screen surface which, I have been advised, is gorilla glass. 
    This entire process took less than 15 minutes. It has taken me longer than that to write it up!  
    I would be happy to answer any questions if there are any. Good luck!

  • Form Factor on the Thinkpad Yoga S2 15.6

    Will it be the same as on the S1?  If so, can anyone give their real-world experience with using it as a tablet?
    Since it will have a digitizer option, I'm inclined to go with it over the 12, although I never had any complaints about the screen real estate on my Surface Pro.
    The waffling between the two is driving me nuts.

    Z.
    if you type ThinkPad Yoga in the search box, and click on ThinkPad Yoga 12 in the result list, you will get an error, it has been going on for a while, probably a bug in Lenovo's database, it happens every once a while.  submitting ticket to their web admin usually doesn't help, i have tickets closed saying it is fixed and it wasn't, haven't bother for a while.
    Anyhow, the workaround is to use the Machine Type for search instead, you can get to the page, e.g. 20DK or 20DL would get you to

  • Problem with Thinkpad Yoga screen

    Some days ago I received a new Thinkpad Yoga. My problem is that the screen is not manufactured very well. The left bottom corner is ~ 1 mm standing out of the case. It seems that it is not glued very well. If I press the corner into it it remains there for some time. But after some minutes it rises again. It's not so large but I can lift it with my finger nails.
    After having a phone call with Lenovo support they told me that the dealer is responsible to replace it. My dealer tells me that Lenovo has to handle this.
    What should I do? Nobody feels responsible? Is there a special glue available so that I fix it myself?

    well, I thought they would need to do that. but Lenovo support just told me that they are not responsible to "repair" or replace such flaws. They do this only in the case of defects.
    I'm really angry. I paid EUR 1600 for this pc. EVen more than for different apple notebooks. And I don't think that I would have those troubles with Apple. Lenovo was always a product for business users, I'm very disappointed ...

  • Thinkpad Yoga - Insufficient external display resolution over the Onelink

    My local Lenovo Partner just confirmed the data in "User Guide" of the TPYoga, that the external screen resolution will only be 1920x1200.  
    "User Guide"  Page 10, http://www.lenovo.com/shop/americas/content/user_guides/tpyoga_ug_en.pdf
    "Display resolution:
    – LCD: 1366-by-768 or 1920-by-1080, depending on the model
    – External monitor: up to 1920-by-1200, depending on the monitor model"
    I mean what do I want the OneLink Dock / OneLink PRO Dock for??
    Of cause to connect a large screen and this not with a worse ppi than the intern display. So I need at least 2560x1600
     (we don’t even talk about all the disadvantages of a 16:9 screen, cause that’s off topic).
    Idealy I expect of cause a 4k resolution possibility together with the OneLink Pro Dock and multi stream (daisy chain) possibility at the display port.
    But 1920x1200 external graphic output can’t be meant serious for a 2000US$ device?? 

    Ok, let’s accept that the new Thinkpad YOGA Manual includes misinformation.
    Actually I’m sitting in front of my 2048x1152 Display which is connected to my 8 years old Asus Notebook via DVI. Does this old jalopy perform a higher resolution via DVI than the Thinkpad Yoga via “OneLink PRO Dock-DVI” does? 
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/options/tp_onelink_pro_dock_ug_en.pdf
    Page 13
    (I’m guessing in the first line (behind "One monitor") it’s supposed to mean DVI instead of DP”
    (1) Lenovo, are these technical details of the NEW OneLink Pro Dock also wrong like the Manual of the Yoga regarding the maximum resolution?
    Would be very helpful for me to plan with correct information..
    (2) And is it definitely true that I can't connect two displays at the OneLink PRO Dock with a higher resolution than 1920x1200??
    That would mean I send the Thinkpad Yoga back and better stay with my 8 years old ASUS jalopy.. smileyfrustrated:

  • Thinkpad Yoga 13 keyboard and mousepad don't work

    Hello people! 
    Last time I went  to US, I've bought this machine from Amazon: Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga Signature Edition - 12.5" 2-in-1 Touchscreen Notebook PC - Intel i5 Haswell / 8GB RAM / 128GB SSD / WiFi / Webcam / Windows 8.1 - Black
    I love it! At least until two weeks ago... after a windows/lenovo update things starts to be really hard.
    My keyboard and mousepad simple don't work anymore, totally unresponsive. If I hit "del" to access the bios, the keyboard does work, after that, when windows is loading and fully loaded, I've got only the "tablet" mode. 
    The only thing that works correctly is the touchscreen, as it only recognize itself as a tablet, not as a ultrabook. The screen also rotates automatacly when windows is fully loaded, so I have to use the tent mode with an external usb keyboard/mouse or type in the screen keyboard...
    I leave in Brazil, got in contact with lenovo suport team here, after a lot of procedures, that didn't solve the problem, they told me to get in contact with lenovo US and ask for an original dvd recovery.
    Is there anyone with a different approach to solve this problem?

    First try SMC and PRAM resets:

    If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free diagnosis.

  • Connecting Thinkpad Yoga to Dual VGA Monitors

    I recently received my Thinkpad Yoga, and would like to connect it to dual external monitors (I will only be using those two monitors, not the laptop monitor) that both have VGA connectors. My original thought was to get the Thinkpad Onelink Pro Dock but as near as I can tell that only has the DVI connectors on the back. I suppose I could get that, then get a DVI -> VGA connector, but just wanted to check in here to see if anybody else had any better / less complicated / less expensive solutions to this. 
    Many thanks,

  • Thinkpad Yoga microphone not working

    I've just recently recieved my brand new Thinkpad Yoga, and everything seems to be ok except the microphone. Under Recording Devices of Windows 8.1, the meter is showing no activitiy even with the boost and volume turned right up. Apps like Skype etc are showing no audio being received either. I've uninstalled the audio drivers completely and reinstalled which has made no difference. The driver reports that everything is ok too. I ran through the windows audio troubleshooting tool which reports no issues as well though it is clearly not working. Any suggestions of have I received an expensive duff laptop?

    Hi! I bought my Thinkpad yoga in December last year and I didn't recognise that my microphon isn't working (because I usually use an external headset) since I tried to call somebody at skype and it says "Problem with your recording device". I think it is the same problem as yours, because the microphone is recognised but I don't get any input.  Did you find an solution for this? I don't wanna sent my notebook in because I need it daily for work :/.
