Thinkpad yoga pro 15 w/3D sense

In case someone was curious as how the Windows 10 upgrade went on a Yoga Pro 15 w/ 3DSense.
Windows 10 installed the latest graphics card drivers for Win10 but installed a slightly older version Intel driver 10.18.14.4049 instead of 10.18.15.4248 for the 5500. I have no issues with the Intel driver so I'm keeping it this way for now since it's running fine. Probably install soon.
Upgrade was pretty smooth. Only Driver hitches that I had to download after install were the 3D Sense camera driver (Camera was inoperable at first start of Win10 but no issues after installing Lenovo's Intel Win10 3D drivers) and lenovo Power Management Driver.
All in all it was pretty trouble free from what I can tell so far!
I first made sure to update as many drivers as I could from Lenovo site before the upgrade. I did have to force start the update in windows as it kept failing on it's own everyday like others have experienced.

I did not update drivers that were solely for Windows 10. I did update all other drivers listed for Win10 and Win8 you know the same driver works for both. I made sure that all drivers for Win8 were updated and no I did not uninstall any software. I did turn off my antivirus but in hinesight I would recommend uninstalling your antivirus before upgrade and download the newest version for Win10. I ended up uninstalling mine after the upgrade to install the latest verion Kaspersky. Doh! Actually should have known better. It didn't screw with the install but Win10 right away said, this Kaspersky has limited use. The one thing that freaked me out when I upgraded was the 3D camera was inoperable but I downlaod the driver firmware for windows 10 it's backup and working. So far everythings running smooth still playing around with stuff when I have the time to see if there is any glitches but so far looks good. Edit: I did update the Bios to the newest version before upgrade and that actually stabilized some issues I had with my yoga before the upgrade, lol.

[New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015] enable Hyper-V feature on Windows 8.1 pro

Hello,
i am a french customer, and i am very interested in the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 2015, especially the version available with Windows 8.1 Pro. and processor Intel Core i7-5500U.
As an IT expert in Database technonlogies, i used to create virtual machines with the 'Hyper-V client' feature available in Windows 8.1 Pro.
- I saw that the Intel Core i7-5500U processor is compatible with the Intel VT-x and EPT virtualization technologies.
- i saw that the Bios menu offers to enable/disable 2 virtualization parameters (link : http://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/yoga_12_ug_en.pdf)
Do you know if the New Thinkpad Yoga 12 allows to enable the 'Hyper-V client' feature under Windows 8.1 Pro ?
It is very important for me to have this information, because a computer without the 'Hyper-V client' is not usefull for me
So before buying this computer, i have to be sure that it will be able to enable the 'Hyper-V client'.
Thanks a lot for tour reply

Good day.
Please recall that this is a peer-2-peer support community. It's quite possible with the newness of the 2015 ThinkPad Yoga 12 (gen2), that no members with appropriate information have seen your post yet.

Actualizaciones windows 8.1 pro Thinkpad Yoga S1

hola , qusiera su ayuda en esta condicion sobre las actualizaciones de windows Update de Windows 8.1 Pro , mi problema es que hace un mes tengo un Thinkapad Yoga S1 y como trae presinstalado Windows 8.1 se bajaron e instalaron actualizaciones por defecto del sistema, pero despues de esta condicion se produjo que el sistema para conectar a internet era muy lento y en algunaas ocaciones no cargaba pagina, comprobe la conectividad en otros computudaroes y era normal en conexion wifi y carga de paginas en internet. restaure el sistema de windows 8.1 de fabrica en el equipo pero para el tema de las actualizaciones lo dehje manual y no he instalado ninguna , favor agradeceria me señalarn que actualziaciones debo instalar y no afecte el rendimiento del equipo y sobre todo en la conexion de wfi e internet.

Hola macontreras15 que tal,
Antes del formateo llegaste a verificar cuales fueron las actualizaciones que se instalaron? a partir de hay se puede observar en especifico que actualización en especifico es el problema y si una de estas actualizaciones son un caso genérico relacionado a tu problema, disculpa todo el rollo pero no tengo una Thinkpad yoga y no podría segurar que alguna actualización sea la culpable.
Lo que si podría ser y es poco regular una actualización relacionada a la WIFI de tu ordenador, en ese caso se debería intentar con la versión el controlador que tenias antes de dicha actualización, porque quizás la versión actualizada de ser el caso puede ser el problema.
Un saludo.

So curious about the digitiser thinkpad yoga

Hey so for about a month now Ive been obsessed with these laptop hybryds specifically with the digitizers and pressure sensativity. As I do lots of digital drawing and arty stuff on the computer, the idea of being able to carry around something like that at such an affordable cost really excites me.
So after doing lots of research on the subject I found that the most popular and known seemed to be the microsoft durface pro, and obviously I was skeptical about the whole n trig thing but so many reviews stressed that there was little difference between them and wacom so I decided to buy the surface pro 3.
I was dissapointed with the stylus, I found that my galaxy note works so much nicer and their technology come from wacom.
I sent it back after a few days as I realised it was for me, the thinkpad yoga I have recently ordered fromt the states at a really good price for the 8gb i7 model with the pen and diitaser.
Im wondering if anyone knows many artists who use this device for drawing or photoshop? Im going to be studying animation later this year so Im hoping everything works okay, there isnt all that much information about it that I can find compared to the surface pro 3.. Im really exited about it anyway.
Does anyone know how lenovos thinkpad yoga usibility for their wacom digitser compares to samsungs with their galaxy note line? thanks

Since posting this question, I did a couple tests.
It appears (not sure why) that the motion scaling effect loses some detail at times. I had written a sentence using quotes. For some reason, the quotes were partially cutoff on the screen when scaling with the Motion Tab, but did appear when using the Distance or X Scale function under the Controls Tab.
Distance and X Scale it will be.
Curious.

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:

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,
Bryce

Hi,
This article would be of help .
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c01938980
The displayport output is better than the vga.
Hope the link helps.

Thinkpad Yoga and UP710E stylus, how do you make them work together?

So my work just got me a Thinkpad Yoga as per my request
I have confirmed that in the Device Manager I do see: "HID-compliant touch screen"
I have also gone out on my own and purchased the UP710E wacom stylus, as suggested at various points on this board and on other sites, as something that should work with the Yoga
I've also purchased Manga Studios as an art program that is supported on this device (it seems to run fine) and with the pen.
I turned on Manga Studios (and MSPaint for good measure), pressed pen to screen and... nothing. Eraser to screen.. nothing. Mouse? Works fine. Stylus that everything and everyone indicated should work? Nope.
So.... what am I missing? Is there a driver I should be looking at? Everything should be up to date.. some in-between program I need to install? Try this when the wind is blowing south by southwest?
Help please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks.
Here's how the support site describes your MTM:
i5-4300U(2.9GHz), 4GB RAM, 500GB 5400rpm HD, 12.5in 1366x768 LCD, Intel HD Graphics,
Wireless Option, Bluetooth, UltraNav, Secure Chip, 8c Li-Poly, Win8.1 Pro 64
I'll defer to others who might know definitively, but it's my understanding that the 1366x768 LCDs are not Wacom digitizer-equipped, whereas the FHD panels are. That would be one possibility for what you're seeing.
Regards.

Thinkpad Yoga - Clean install with Win 8.1 disc and embedded product key

Hello everyone,
I purchased a Thinkpad Yoga that comes along with Win 8.1 and embedded product key.
Will it be possible to plug-in an external drive and install Win 8.1 from a Win 8.1-disc? BUT I don’t want to use the key that comes with the disc, but the key embedded in the bios.
This is my girlfriends Windows 8.1 disc and license. Nevertheless I could use it for the clean install.
But I'm not sure, if the original key from my Yoga will work then.
Thanks
Hutson

I guy on Youtube made a rough tutorial.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI8AnNBIlLQ
Englisch subtitles available
In the comments he suggests, to download the Iso with anouther win-8.1-key - no matter which one - and to install the system clean. In his opinion the system will get the key from the hardware. He is writing, that there is just a universal iso. So it's no problem to download an iso with another key, even if your system is a Home-Edition and you download it with a Pro-Key.
I will try this.

Thinkpad Yoga crashes almost every day

A few weeks ago my 4-year old laptop started crashing a few times every week, so I decided to get a TPY. I received a 20CD000MMH (I5, 8 Gb RAM, 500Gb HDD+16Gb M.2 SSD) with windows 8.1 Pro (64 bit) on the 20. Feb and since then the longest time it has kept running is less than 48h. I've been downloading both recommended and optional (12. Feb BIOS update was optional!) Windows and Lenovo's System Updates every day, sometimes twice a day: after a crash System Update usually wants me to reinstall the LAN driver. I've reinstalled Intel's graphics driver several times over as well. For example yesterday screen brigthness was stuck at max after a BSOD, so at least it seems sometimes System Update is right in it's reccomendations.
Currently I have 5 files in the Windows minidump folder, about as many BSODs did not result in any. I've also done 2 resets after discovering in the morning that the computer is almost too hot to hold and won't shut down. Fortunately those have not recurred since disabling "turn off display" last week and checking every time I go to sleep that the computer really is off.
I haven't found many posts from other people who have this many crashes - I'm starting to feel I'm missing something obvious or have a really, really bad example of a TPY. At least there are no ghosting issues, although the SSD worked for caching for only a single glorious day of sub 20 sec. boots. Now I'm back to 1min+...
Does anyone have any advice, besides returning it? The only thing I think I haven't tried yet is messing with the virtual network adapter (http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge-S-series/Thinkpad-Yoga-not-waking-up-after-sleep/td-p/1348... as I'm afraid of permanently losing the network connection (which has been working fine) or something and I haven't foud any real instructions.

And an update about my TPY also: my local Lenovo service couldn't find any hardware or software issues and it did not crash when it was there for two and a half days. They barely used it though. They did suspect the problem might have something to do with Lenovo and Microsoft programs being incompatible (both have power managers, for example) while running simultaneously. We decided to test software issues by having them reinstall Windows (on a 128 Gb M.2 SSD, which I had bought a few days before as I was sick and tired of the barely functional SSD caching) and by me avoiding any and all updates besides antivirus definitions. So far I've had one crash in 3 days, although it was not a BSOD. It just freezed up while watching a video and I had to reset it with a pin. So things have gotten better, especially considering I now can start using the computer in less than 30 seconds instead of 3 minutes after a crash. It's still not good though and there seem to be some memory issues: when I wake up the computer or restart Windows the setting keep changing for no reason. So far the desktop background has changed color, scaling goes from 125% (which I prefer) to either 100% or 150% and the mouse pointer size changes. Also I've gotten some memory errors (displayed too briefly to write down) when making changes to the account that require me to log off. I'll keep it for a few days and look for additional problems but it looks like I'm going to have to have the motherboard replaced...

Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga OS Upgrading

Hi All,
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga laptop, Model no is 20CDA016HH. In this windows 8 Home edition is already installed. My doubt is that, can I upgrade the windows 8 Home Edition to Windows 8.1 Pro Edition. What should I do for that.
Advance thanks for you kind support.
Regards,
Jomy T S

There should be an installer somewhere on your computer - look for a file called "iTunesSetup.exe" (32-bit) or "iTunes6464Setup.exe" (64-bit) - you'll almost certainly have got the second of these on a Windows 8 machine. Then double-click on this file to install iTunes. If you can't find the files, the direct links are here:
iTunes 12.1.1.4 (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
iTunes 12.1.1.4 (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
iTunes 12.1.1.4 (64-bit "for older video cards") - iTunes64Setup.exe
The last of these is an alternative installer for 64-bit systems you find that using the "standard" 64-bit version causes playback issues or problems with QuickTime or Outlook integration.

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.
Robinhuett

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 :-(

Interest In ThinkPad Yoga 2

Hi, I am interesting in ThinkPad Yoga 2
When it will release?
Base on ThinkPad Yoga 1, I want to make a suggestion.
- 500GB or more HDD + at least 18 GB SSD {For the Intel Smart Response Technology} Option
- 512 GB SSD Option

WQHD resolution is only available on the Displayport, the DVI-I on the OneLink Pro dock is a single link DVI port.

ThinkPad Yoga 15 won't charge while closed/in sleep mode

Hello, i recently purchased a thinkpad yoga 15 laptop with i7, 8gb ram, geforce gpu, 256gb SSD, Windows 8.1 Pro. My question is: how can I make it charge while in sleep mode? also, downloads stop in sleep mode (ie Steam) This is very inconvenient as the laptop will apparently only charge while totally on and open. Naturally, I don't want to leave my laptop on and open to anyone's use in my room, I want to keep it locked via sleep mode. I want it to be charged when I get back. To sum up, I want to a) charge laptop while it's in sleep mode, and b) don't stop downloads while in sleep mode. Thank you this is my first post on lenovo forums :]

It is not jailbroken or anything at all, just a normal iPhone 4

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

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.
