X220 tablet clicking problem

Hello all,
I have this massive problem with my cursor randomly moving and clicking all over the screen without being touched. I hadn't had this problem until after I had my cracked screen replaced with a new one. I've tried unplugging the mouse, disabling the touchpad, etc. and nothing. Help would be awesome. Thanks ahead.
Solved!

There are a few related threads here, but I have yet to see anyone that reports the problem as solved.
For me this gets worse when running a full screen video for some odd reason. Right now my X220 is plugged in but not charging ('charing will start at 90percent') and it's not doing the random clicking. But the moment I play a full screen youtube video the problem appears, stopping and starting the video say three times per ten seconds or so. I end up having to unplug the charger to stop it.

X220 random clicking

Hi Guys,
I have a x220 tablet that I bought beginning of last October and the cursor seems to be clicking things without warning all over the screen. I tried reinstalling the mouse drivers and updating the bios but that hasnt seemed to stop it. While I was writing this post the cursor actually jumped a couple of times...
How might I be able to fix this problem?

I have the same issue, but not related to the touchpad. When the X220t is charging, the touch screen responds with random clicks, sometimes a few times in 10 seconds. Makes web browsing 'entertaining'. I had this with two different power supplies, so I'm wondering if the touch screen is too sensitive, or whether the charging circuit in this particular tablet is too 'noisy'. When running on battery it never happens, so it's definitely charging related.
For fun: I lock the tablet (Win-L) when I'm away so it can't do random stuff, but that doesn't stop if from turning on screen narration while on the Win lock screen. Creepy..

X220 Tablet and Windows 8.1 - Limited Touch drops with Intel HD 3000 is installed?

I have installed Windows 8.1 Professional on on a Lenovo X220 Tablet and everything seems to have installed correctly, although my system, which supported limited touch with 2 touch points in Windows 7, only has Pen Support in 8.1.
I have been able to get the system to be recognized as "Pen and Limited Touch Support with 2 Touch Points" but only if I disable/unintall the Intel HD 3000 driver, and use Microsoft Basic Display Adapter instead. The problem is that the resolution isn't as crisp.
Any recommendations as to what I can do to get the limted touch to be recognized with the Intel HD 3000 driver? This one is baffling.
Any help would be appreciated.
The X220 Tablet's type is 4296-2WU
Also, the Intel HD Graphics 3000 driver is the latest version compatible with 8.1 64bit - 9.17.10.3517.
Update: I have also tried the previous Intel driver release, 9.17.10.3347, as well as the recommend Intel driver from the support page 9.17.10.2843 and non of them allow my screen to do Limited Touch Support with 2 Touch Points. Yet, if I disable the Intel driver, and restart, I can.

Troy,
Thanks for sharing your expeirences and the details of the driver version.
Officially, I don't think Lenovo provided full support for Win 8 on the X220, but as you note it (and the upgrade to 8.1) can work with some limitations. I'll check with one of our software engineers to see if he may have some suggestions on this one.
I expect you will probably draw some responses from the community as the X220 was a very popular system with a good following.
Best regards,

Lenovo x220 tablet pc with ubuntu 12.04 Shuts down and starts up unexpectedly

Hi
I bought a lenovo x220 tablet pc and installed ubuntu 12.04 with GNOME 3 a while ago.
It was working fine at first however recently:
1. the computer shutsdown unexpectedly, the shutdown dialog appears (the one that gives you the option of restart, cancel, or shutdown); I try to cancel it however the laptop would just power down (without going through the proper shutdown routine). Once it powers down it would try to reboot on its own but halfway during the reboot it would power down again.
2. At times when I do shutdown normally, I would just close the lid and the computer would start back up again, without my pressing the power button (just moving the monitor makes the computer startup)
In addition I dropped the computer on the battery side at one time and cracked the plastic casing a little. The above mentioned problems still exists when I use the laptop without the battery.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about finding out what's wrong and how to fix it.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hey mate,
sorry to here about that. Here may be a path to the clearing where a possible solution is waiting: Nowadays it is standard to let the pc (or more exactly the power manager of the OS) listen to the ACPI bus for messages like power button pressed and such things. If such a message surfaces and your power manager picks it up it is possible (if you have this configured as an action) that it shuts down you computer or restarts it. To eliminate this possibility you can try one of the following to things:
1. stop your power manager from working
2. get yourself superuser rights and use acpi_listen to listen to the acpi bus (if not working then install "acpid", shut down your power manager and start acpid as service)
3. open your system log (e.g. /var/log/messages) and search for things connected to your power manager or acpi
Please tell me if it worked! If not you could also post the content of your system log for analysis.
Using x230t (i5-3320M, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 80GB mSata-SSD) and loving it!

X220 Tablet Windows 8 Wi-Fi Trouble

Hello,
In January, I upgraded the hard drive in my X220 Tablet and installed Windows 8 to the new hard drive. Since doing so, I've been having trouble with the Wi-Fi on the computer. It does this thing from time to time (a few times a week) where the Wi-Fi just cuts out, and doesn't think any networks are available, although the networking adapter is enabled. Usually I can fix things by disabling and enabling the networking adapter a few times, but I'm getting tired of having to do this. The problem is entirely with the computer, and not with my network, as it will do this on number of different networks, and the problem is not with the networking components.
Has anyone else had similar issues? Does anyone have any advice on how to fix it?

Hi garebear22,
thanks forposting and sorry for the late intrusion. I was wondering which try ofwireless card was installed in yourmachine?
Do let me know

X220 tablet - sound suddenly stopped working from speakers and headphone (but not bluetooth)

X220 tablet (about 2.5 yrs old, out of warranty) was working completely fine last night; this morning, no sound is coming from the laptop, either through speakers or through headphones (audio jack). I am, however, able to get sound through a bluetooth-connected speaker.
I had hoped this was a software issue. Tried uninstalling/installing all sound devices, updating BIOS, updating drivers, system restore to previous date, rebooting a million times, etc. No joy.
When I run the sound troubleshooter, it says that no speaker, headset, or headphone appears to be plugged in. The sound icon has a little red circle/white X next to it. When I try to plug in headphones, nothing happens -- does not seem to detect the event. When I press the mute and volume buttons on the tablet, no response.
Also, under Device Manager -> Sound, video and game controllers, it lists only "Bluetooth Hands-free Audio" and "Intel Display Audio". I don't think either of these is the normal X220 audio driver, is it? What else should be there? I downloaded the Conexant Audio Software from Lenovo's site (this is what came up when I searched for audio drivers for the X220 tablet), and tried to install it, but halfway through, it said the install failed because it couldn't locate the device for the driver.
This sounds like it's a hardware problem -- any way to verify? Also, which piece of hardware exactly? Is it the sound card (that's presumably integrated into the motherboard --> no easy fix)? I'm guessing it's not the speakers themselves since the headphone jack is also affected, but what is my best line of testing at this point to confirm that? If it IS the sound card, any suggestions on the best fix?
Many thanks in advance!
Solved!

I was wrong - I did upgrade to a 3 yr warranty (had forgotten about this) so hopefully it's covered!
Thanks for having me double check!

They fixed the right click problem, but now there is a bigger problem

after updating, I can use my right click perfectly on Windows XP. however, my windows XP starts to restart very often-which means the "blue-sceen" comes out very often. I believe many poeple has this problem because I had already read couple of complains...Well...I hope apple can fix it soon.

I could not right click on my macbook's Precision aluminum unibody enclosure under windows xp, and after updating the trobubleshooter, it works. However, my windows starts to restart again and again (the blue screen) and it says it is because the applemtp.sys has some problems. I read couple of others people's experiences on the Internet, and they all so it started to happen after they fix the right click problem.

Beginner - mouse over IE line - and click problem

My test swf - -
http://www.jennyweir.com/testSite/
How would I remove that white mouseover white line near the
edges of the page (as seen on IE7)
I made the swf full screen to try to get it to dissapear -
but full screen is apparently only nearly full screen and it is
still there
I would like to learn how to make an swf which can live
seamlessly in a matching html page so would appreciate knowing what
to do. There is a setting I chose which I thought would fix it
(show border) but it has not worked
Also - click problem:
in Flash, I made a fill layer into a button (100% size also
and under the visible elements ) so that I could attach a goto url
action (up)
on this swf you have to click twice to go to the url
I dont follow how this has come to be
appreciate any pointers
gav

Hi Gavlong
Did you try adding the background color parameter in the HTML
of your page? This is different than the background in the Flash
file. I looked at the source for your page and I didn't see it.
Regarding your double-click problem it may be due to an
Internet Explorer update from earlier in the year. I've read a few
bits about how for some interactive web apps (Flash is included in
the list of affected programs) the user needs to 'activate' the
control by pressing SPACEBAR or ENTER. That would explain the need
for the second click. Apparently there's a way to enable the
control from your web page by using and external .js file but I
haven't implemented it. Here are a couple of related
links...hopefully they are of some help:

Clicking problem

I started to enconter weird problem with my laptop. Sometimes its kind of stopping me from clicking on the objects. I can move the mouse around but nothings happening when I try to click. The only way to go back to normal is to restart the computer.

I seem to have a similar problem. In my case i figured out that the clicking problem is limited to a rectengular area on bottom of the screen, and switching a program to fullscreen solves the problem within this application. Also i think, in my case, the problem occurs when working on an external monitor, not on the built. (due to the fact i didnt tested much on just the primary monitor, im not 100% sure with this)
I dont know what to do, since i cant find someone having the same issue...

X220 tablet touch screen, clicks on random places with Win 8.1

Hello everybody.

please help and let me know if there is any work around for this.
to be honest i am long time ago disappointed becasue of this machine and its "touch" functionality

You can change FN and CTRL key in the BIOS

X220 Tablet Access Connection IP/DHCP Problem

I have following problem with Access Connections: Everything is working fine when the ip is set to DHCP. If I come frome home (static ip) and I am going to work (a different static ip) the ip gets not changed. Is there an option to reset the ip to dhcp automatically?

hey SciLor,
judging from your post over here, i'm guessing that if you have DHCP under auto-allocate you are not able to connect at home but you will be able to connect in the office ?
in your Access Connection, i do believe you will be able to create two different profiles. In each profile, see if you can set the IP address in it.
that way you just need to switch between profiles.

X220 Tablet: Stylus does not work in Windows 8.1

EDIT: In perhaps the most embarrassing moment to have asked for help in my entire life, I restarted my computer and everything works fine now. I must not have restarted after one of the drivers was installed for some reason. This topic can be locked.
Original Post:
Hello,
I am a digital artist so I rely on the hardiness of my X220's pen/stylus/digitizer for a lot of my laptop use. This fall my laptop had a virus that required it to be reset to factory settings, and so I decided it would be a good time to upgrade to Windows 8.1 (from Windows 7) before installing any programs. I now have Windows 8.1 and it is working fine; however, my pen is not being detected by my system. My fingers are being detected on the touchscreen, so I know the touch screen works. I did not try my pen since resetting to factory settings, so I do not know whether it worked before I upgraded to Windows 8.1. I would assume the issue is a missing driver, but I could not find the right driver on Lenovo's website and the digitizer update utility produces an error when I click "Update." I was wondering if anybody had an idea for what I could do. I would assume I am not the first person to try updating to Windows 8.1 on an X220, nor the first to reset an X220 to factory settings. However, a brief search of Lenovo's support forums and of the internet has shown no solutions to my particular problem.
Here are drivers I am using that strike me as relevent, as well as their version and date. Maybe that will help with a solution. I'm sure the solution is an easy one.
HID-compliant digitizer (6.3.96... 6/21/2006, up-to-date)
HID-compliant pen (6.3.96... 6/21/2006, up-to-date)
Wacom Device (3.1.0.5 4/11/2014, up-to-date)
ThinkPad UltraNav Pointing Device (16.2.19.7 4/17/2013, up-to-date)
HID-compliant Mouse (3.1.0.5 4/11/2014, up-to-date)

PS CS6, Apple OSX Yosemite, Wacom Intuis tablet/pen problems

I run PS CS6 on an Apple Mac Pro, OS X v 10.10.3 (Yosemite), to which I recently upgraded. When I upgraded to Yosemite I started to have problems with my Wacom Intuis Pro graphics tablet & pen. The pen does not work smoothly with the tablet - in particular when holding down the Space Bar and scrolling around an image file it takes significantly more pressure than it should. I have experimented with changing the Pen Pressure in the Wacom Pen Driver but that does not fix the problem.
Another problem is when using the Spot Healing Brush, rather than the immediate effect of the Tool showing, instead I get a black mark — more like I am painting with the Paint Brush & black ink. That black mark remains until I touch the Wacom Pen to the tablet again - then the Spot Healing Brush effect appears but the black mark moves to the second point of contact. I have been going back & forth with Wacom (Intuis) for six days and they say the pen & tablet appear to be fine, but there is some kind of conflict with Photoshop. I do not have these problems when using the Mouse, only the Wacom Intuis Pen & Tablet.
When I open the Brush pallet, I cannot change any of the Brush Tip Shape settings. None of them are checked, and they are all Locked. How do I Unlock them? Wacom tech support seems to think these PS Brush Settings are affecting the Pen.
Any other suggestions will be very welcome, I am going crazy with this problem and have spent untold hours trying to resolve it. Thank you in advance! Mark Weidman

I had the SAME problem. This worked for me:
Before, I was running Yosemite 10.10 on an iMac i7
I had the latest driver from Wacom (I tried a couple of older drivers, to no avail)
I'm running PS CS6, with all update
I'm using a Wacom Intuos 5 medium tablet
I was getting super bad lag while using the brush and other tools. Let's say I'd open an image to edit. After selecting the keyboard shortcut for my brush, I'd make one pass with the brush on the image. The brush stroke would be there, but it wouldn't show up in the history palette. Only after making another brush stroke would the previous action be recorded in the history palette. I was lagging real bad. In between brush strokes I wouldn't be able to change tools or even change the size of my brush. Nothing worked. I'd have to click off the image to regain control, or click the trackpad to regain control. BTW, the trackpad worked perfectly. NO lag for anything in PS. The polygonal lasso tool, one of my favorite selection tools, was basically unusable with the lag. I'd have to click several times before it would catch up and then sometime it would just randomly close the selection. So that was useless.
Ok, so that's what was happening to me. My tablet was basically useless. It took triple the time to work with it.
All I did was update Yosemite to 10.10.1 and the tablet now works PERFECTLY in photoshop cs6 for me. I'm not sure you'll get the same results but it worked for my computer. I really didn't think it would work so I was pleasantly surprised when it did.
I had tried installing older wacom drivers. Didn't work.
I tried reinstalling PS CS6 in a new user profile on my Mac. Didn't work.
