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.

Well, first of all I think, that this news deserve a separate topic, so please don't merge it with another one. Finally a Lenovo employee from Poland provided information about the KitKat roll-out for Yoga Tablets. For Wi-Fi version starting 9th of June and for the 3G version starting 23rd of June. Check out this link: LINK and here in German: LINK

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.

Alternate charging cable for Yoga tablet 2

Today, while i was re-organizing i had moved my Dropcam and noticed the cable is fairly heavy gauge like the short Lenovo cable. i decided to plug the cable into the lenovo and it started charging without a problem. so for those of you looking for another cable option, I'd thought I would let others know. the bonus is that the Dropcam's cable is 10' long.

I really wanted this to work so I looked into this when I got the tablet 6 months ago. You can find other posts about this if you go back several months in the forums. The usb connection cannot operate as a data connection and charge at the same time. This is apparently the way lenovo has designed the Yoga and it's other tablets.

Android 5 update offered and now missing. Has it been pulled for Yoga tablet 2-1050F?

I had received a notification that the lollipop update was available for the past few days. I decided to update today and the update notification is now gone. I checked for an update and am being told my tablet is up to date. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hey guys, am I getting it right that Lenovo stopped sharing the new Android 5.0.1 update via OTA due to some user reported incidents regarding the new software?

Headphone output not working after Android 5 update (Yoga Tablet 2 10")

Hi! First of all, thanks for the Lollipop update, it is working great!There is only one problem I ran into: when I connect a headphone to the audio jack I can hear no sound/music.Before update to Lollipop there was no such problem and headphones work with other devices. I tried a factory reset, but it did not help.Turning Dolby program on or off or changing its settings does not change anything. Audio from built in speakers is normal as is bluetooth streaming.Tablet recognizes headphones: little icon appears on notification bar and speakers are muted upon insertion and playback is stopped in Play Music app upon removal.Also when music plays and I open Dolby app I can see the spectrogram moving, but there is no sound coming though audio jack. I assume this is a software error in Lollipop firmware and would confirm it if I would know how to downgrade firmware... I hope this issue will be fixed in next patch. Best,András

Lenovo is investigating customer reports that certain headphone/headset/ear bud devices that previously delivered audio through the audiojack no longer work on Yoga Tablet 2 devices after the tablet was upgraded to Android Lollipop, yet other listening devices do.
It would help the investigation if several customers would be willing to provide logs capturing this failure event for Yoga Tablet 2 8 or 10 1050 models.

Yoga Tablet 2 1050F Android 5 and first freeze after sleep....

I dont believe. Problem return with new update for 5.0

Lenovo is investigating customer reports that after upgrading a Yoga Tablet 2 8 830 or 10 1050 to Android 5.0.1 Lollipop, the tablet freezes in sleep mode and will not awaken when tapping the power button.
Two known workarounds: hold the power button down for 60+ seconds until the tablet recovers, or unplug the tablet from AC power and wait several days for the battery to drain, then plug it in and it may recover.
It would help the investigation if several customers would be willing to provide logs capturing this failure event for Yoga Tablet 2 8 or 10 1050 models. This would require starting the log collection before putting the tablet into sleep mode.

Yoga Tablet 2 Lollipop Update - Google Play Services does not update - installation error

To lenovo. The reason I bought this tab is that I believe it has good quality and its performance is excellent especially from lenovo. But if lenovo reasons out that they cannot override the code that is in apk itself from Google playstore. Can u provide a link or procedure how to go back from lollipop to KitKat until it is resolved? Because we cannot do the things we should do especially work related if we can't download or update any apps tnx.

Yoga Tablet 10" - update to Android 4.4 and further problems with Google Music

Hi everyone.
I've just upadated my Yoga Tablet 10" to Android 4.4. Whole process went smoothly but afterwards I'm experiencing some problems with Google Music. Playback is "skippy" or "choppy", even if whole song is downloaded. Every 15-25 seconds there small pause, which is quite annoying.
Local music files (uploaded through usb) seem to work just fine.
I've even tried resetting whole device to factory settings but without any success.
I also have an impression that youtube playback is not so smooth as it used to be in Android 4.2...
Has anyone experienced something similar? Any hints or sollutions?

Need HID Sensor Collection V2 Driver for Yoga 2 Tablet 10

The Yoga 2 Tablet 10 works very well with the 9879 version of Windows 10. The only thing that I'm seeing as missing is that the screen will not auto-rotate. Device Manager shows that the HID Sensor Collection V2 Driver in not functioning.
Does Lenovo have a driver download location for this device? I expect that the Windows 8.1 version would work.

Good day.
You have the 1051 model tablet, correct?
When (if) drivers become available, I would expect them to be listed here:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/yoga-series/yoga-tablet-2-1051
As of now, though, I don't see anything available, so you'll need to keep checking.
Hope this helps a bit.
Regards.

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.

NEED HELP with Keyboard for Yoga 2 Android Tablet

I have just spent more than an hour talking with Lenovo Sales/Customer Service tying to find out why the Yoga tablet I bought my son for Christmas doesn't have a keyboard (I purchased the tablet directly from Lenovo).
http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/tablets/lenovo/yoga-tablet-series/yoga-tablet-2-10/
I called sales 4 times and each time I get a different answer: they are out of the keyboard, buy the keyboard from BestBusy or Amazon, there is no keyboard (even though it is pictured), it will have a keyboard but no one knows when.
I did buy the keyboard I was told by a chat with Lenovo from Amazon but it is not the correct keyboard and now I'm stuck with a tablet without a keyboard and keyboard without a tablet.
Customer Service won't help saying it's a sales problem and Sales says there is nothing they can do and transfers me to Customer Service. It is infuriating.
My son is so dissappinted. He only wanted this tablet because it came with a keyboard (we thought) and he can use it at school. We will likely return the tablet if it was misrepresented on the Lenovo webiste.
Does anyone know if and when the keyboard will be available?

The keyboard is also supposed to be a cover s seen in the photos. We bought the tablet because it clearly shows a keyboard case if not included at least available.
I was willing to purchase the keyboard cover but first Lenovo sales said they were out and said to purchase the keyboard (also Lenovo) at BestBuy instead but it turned out to be the wrong keyboard (not the one in the picture - too big, falls off and likely to break). Then I was told by someone else in customer service there was no keyboard and the picture is of the prototype. Then I was told by someone else in sales that there may be one coming out in the future but no one knows when and how much it will be.
Today I had to spend more than an hour being bounced around and not getting an answer. We really want the keyboard as shown in the picture. Unfortunately because we thought the folks in sales knew about the tablet, we bought the wrong keyboard at their instruction and now it can't be returned.

Hi,
If you can't use MTP you can try "mass storage". When connected, go to "Settings > DEVICE > Storage", then tap "..." and select "USB storage".
But MTP should work. Which version of windows do you use ?

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).
