Yoga 10 HD+ B8080-H - Slow Keyboard, No 3G and display dims

How can I speed up the keyboard response time.  The pointer speed is set at max, but has no effect on the response time of keyboard.
How do I get 3G on my tablet, which is supposed to be Wi-Fi and 3G.
The Display brightness is set to just about max and certainly starts off bright, but after a moment, it dims around the icons on the screen.  A couple of times, if I have been using the tablet for a length of time, it has become bright again but this is only momentarily.
What can I do to resolve these issues.  I am on the latest update.
regards

in one of the next updates.

  • Macbook slow to start-up and displays unusual start-up screen

    Hey everyone,
    For the last week or so my Macbook has been behaving strangely when I start it up from sleep: it displays the screen you would normally get after your battery has fully emptied and you have just powered up your computer again (I'm not 100% sure if that makes total sense..it's the screen with the white bars on the bottom that slowly fill up before it takes you to your login screen) This only happens when my Macbook has run out of charge and automatically goes to sleep and then I plug it in and power it up again, which is why I'm concerned because my computer is plugged in when this happens + the battery is fully charged. Also, the computer is very slow to start up and takes about a minute before I can properly log in (the screen freezes, sometimes it goes black for a couple of seconds and then it goes back to normal) and finally the computer seems to be a bit laggy at times and slower than usual. I have already verified my disk and repaired all the errors that came up (using Disk Utility), and this doesn't seem to have fixed the problem.
    I am very confused and cannot figure out why this is happening; I've bought my Macbook only a year ago and I always take exceptional care of it. Has anyone else come across this problem before? If anyone could provide any input or help me figure out the cause, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thank you for your help in advance

    Linc - Thank you so much for your response, at least I now understand what is causing this problem. I'm wondering if you know of a way to stop the computer from going into safe sleep (i.e turn this feature off) while it is plugged into AC power? This has never happened in the last 12 months that I've owned my Macbook and now I'm confused as to why this suddenly changed.
    Thanks again in advance for your help

  • I have a several issues, which may be related, concerning slow Firefox startup, bookmarks, and display

    Last weekend, I needed to go back to a restore point on my Windows 7 PC. Since then, I have had a number of issues. I'll outline them as best I can. I am using Firefox 23.0.1
    1) When I click the tray or desktop icons, it takes between 1 and 5 minutes for Firefox to load (in fact, this is true for Thunderbird as well, but not other programs, as I can tell).
    2) When Firefox starts, it is what I would call the bare bones display, not the usual for this version. In addition, my bookmarks aren't loaded. However, I can find the places.sqlite file
    3) Related to 2, and I think a big part of my problem, is that there are 2 (seemingly) complete profiles, both designated as default. I have tried to rename each one as not being the default, and that hasn't worked. One is an older one, and the other from Sunday when I restored.
    I have not uninstalled and reinstalled, because it seems the problem is deeper than that (as I wrote above). I have also not reset, for the same reason. I don't think it's related to add-ons and extensions, as I have disabled all and nothing seems changed (slow start, display, etc)
    I'm open to all thoughts and suggestions, and thanks in advance...

    Note that if there is a problem with the profiles.ini that Firefox will create a new default profile.
    What matters is whether all profiles present in the Firefox\profiles folder appear in the profiles.ini file and that the currently selected c profile is marked with Default=1
    If a new (xxxxxxxxx.default) profile has been created then you can restore the previous profile by editing the path in the profiles.ini file to point to your previous profile.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_missing_profile
    You can also choose to stay with the new profile and transfer some personal data (files) from the old profile, see:

  • ITunes Store is slow when returning sorting and display 50+ songs

    Hello
    I frequently have problems whith iTunes Store searche results. For example today, I searched for Pitbull songs, and clicked on "display all" to get the list like display. Then I sorted the  200+ songs by clicking on popularity. Sorting was surprisingly slow. Using the scrollbar was also very slow, sometimes scrolling down continuously just after one click on the scrollbar, and more often laging.
    My laptop has a Dual Core 2 processor @ 2.4GHz, 4Go of RAM, and a high quality WIFI signal, with win 7 64 bits. In addition no other software with high CPU usage were running  in background.
    Does any one have noticed the same problem  ? Any advice to fix this.
    Thanks
    GaBo

    I'm observing the same problem. iTunes is nearly frozen, especially podcasts make the system extremely slow, no downloads possible at all. Opening an album song list is also painfully slow. All this prevents me from buying from the store. Apple should be interested in this. Please note that I'm not using iTunes match!

  • Yoga Tab 2 8 inch slow performance after update

    Hello everyone!
    I recently bought a Yoga tablet 2 8 inch (Wifi only). By default, it was running smoothly, and the performance was overall solid, both on the launcher (Lenovo's and Google Now Launcher) and in apps.
    However, after two updates (The first one was around 350MB and the second one 79MB), some aspects of the software got much slower.
    For instance, when running on the stock Lenovo launcher, the transitions between the pages of apps are much slower. Even weirder, they are slower in landscape mode than in portrait mode! When running in portrait mode, the stock launcher is about as fast as it was before the updates.
    The Google Now launcher, which was running fine before, is now running really slow both in portrait and landscape modes.
    When it comes to apps, Gmail runs pretty smoothly while Chrome also seems to be capped at 30 fps. Opera, which I downloaded from the Play Store, seems smooth enough. YouTube is smooth when playing a video but choppy when navigating.
    The settings of the tablet (display, networks...) is silky smooth as it should, while Kingston Office (provided by Lenovo) is struggling and laggy.
    To sum up, some of the on board apps and the launchers seem to have taken a massive performance hit (while oddly enough some aspects of the software are smooth, like the settings), while third party apps downloaded from the store are, for the most part, unaffected, except for launchers (Granny Smith runs at 60 fps) (The performance on Nova Launcher is as poor as on Google Now Launcher)
    I don't see any app running in the background (I even disabled some of them, like Security HD), and Power mangement tools are off.
    The version of Android I am running on is 4.4.2, build : YOGA Tablet2-830F_S000195_150422. I also did a software reset through the settings, but the performance issue remains.
    Sorry about this long description, but it looks like a software issue and any help is welcome, because other than that I really like this tablet. If you need more information, do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you! 
    Vincent

    Hello Ronnie_S!
    Yes I am running on the update that was released yesterday, however I noticed a performance drop on the first update I got (the 350MB one), so my performances were already hit before that latest update. So I can't tell you what effect the update released yesterday could have on your specific device.

  • Slow Keyboard fix

    So i have 2.02 and i still have the slow keyboard. I found an easier fix than restarting though. If you exit SMS, play a song for sec or 2 in the ipod function, and then return to the SMS the keyboard miraculously works.

    Heh, this is actually getting comical if not downright absurd.
    I thought this level of half-assed fixes died with the original Nintendo when you had to push the cartridge in halfway to get it to work.
    Way to go Apple! Great product.

  • Slow keyboard input in fields - first characters transposed

    Any application or web page that I am in that has some kind of input field is giving me a problem with now. If I go into the field and immediately start to type it's like the iMac gets startled, that first character needs a second or so before it figures out I want to enter something and it then accepts the second character and displays that BEFORE then applying the first character.
    This topic is a good example, when typing in the Subject above it displayed as *lSow keyboard* so as usual I have to correct it. This happens on every new input field.
    What can possible be causing this?

    Is it just input or is the system otherwise performing slowly? You can do a SMC reset and than frequently resolves performance issues. You don't mention which iMac you have or what keyboard you are using, this could be useful information. To do a SMC reset please carefully follow these instructions:
    *SMC RESET*
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Unplug the computer's power cord _and all peripherals._
    • Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    • Release the power button.
    • Attach the computers power cable.
    • Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    *PRAM RESET*
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    • Turn on the computer.
    • Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    • Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.

  • IMac 21" late 09: Slow, screen flickering/tearing and odd behavior - the problem that puzzles everyone

    PLEASE HELP!
    My iMac 21" late -09, started acting a bit wierd a year ago. Things got worse rapidly, it got slower, the screen flickers/tears (see link below), short moments of lost internet connection, lost connection whit the keyboard (might be keyboard that is broken), almost overheats when gaming and odd behavior on some webbsites whit galleries and/or videos.
    Let's begin whit the screen: it's not vertikal lines or major distortions, just a subtle horisontal line that "wanders" from bottom to topp and some lagging from time to time. Looks like this: http://cl.ly/3i2W2o3S1D2T
    The wierd thing is that hi-res does not mean more "tearing". Yes the lagg and risk of tearing increases, but the connection seems to be: lots of movement=tearing. So a pixeld 240p video of people dancing can be way worse than a news debbate in1080p!?!
    Lost connection whit internet and keyboard rarely happens and is probably due to something else, but thought that was good to have in mind.
    Odd behavior: galleries ex: when browsing images on Facebook in fullscreen, the image sometimes jumps around in the beginning and when clicking on next the same picture might appear again or just nothing at all. When scrolling down overwiewing a gallery, the updating stops and you can't scroll down further. This problem appers mainly on FB, deviantart also acts a bit wierd but there is often small issues whit image sites. Doesn't help to switch browsers either!
    Videos: Youtube is horrible to use, stops loading, dosen't start loading, erases everything loaded (grey bar disapears and reloads), refuse to switch ressolution and suddenly stops the video like it was done! "ehh.. wasn't this 2min long? Not anymore, now its 34sec!". Mainly a Youtube problem but many similar sites can be a bit problematic to use.
    NO, it's not the HTML-5 problem or any standard flash issue and using a different browser dosen't help!
    Worst is the fact that most of these errors are not constant! One day your watching youtube or mabey a movie in VLC, a bit laggy, but almost no problem. Next day **** brakes lose and after 2hours of struggling you are ready to stabb yourself in the face!
    What i tried: Most easy buggfixes that might cause the above problems, updating most things, Switched from OS X SL to OS X ML, complete reinstall and some things i probably forgot by now. Then went to MacStore for repair, they didn't find anything wrong and said it worked fine after the standard diagnostic/repair program!?! Went home and everything was the same! Went a second time to MacStore, same result.
    So I'v reinstalled a few times and it seems to improve the Mac. But 2-3weeks later every error is back, even if I barely installed or downloaded anything!?!
    Any idea what this could be? Or is the graphic card broken and MacStore has a blind, inbred muppet as a technician?

    No I didn't. The first time i explained the problem thoroughly and thought that they just couldn't miss such a visual error. I was wrong. The second time the technician wasn't there so i showed the above clip to the salesstaff and explained everything onceagain. Later the technician called me and we talked for 10min.
    Btw, the problems always "manifests themselves", just varies between strenght and frequence.
    But all other issues aside, what could cause the tearing of the screen as seen int the above clip?

  • MacBook Pro, Mid 2012 slow to load applications and startup

    Problem description:
    I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch, mid 2012 computer. Over the past months it has become increasingly slower during load up, and application loads.
    Running OS X Yosemite
    Processor: 2.9 GHz, Intel Core i7
    Memory 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
    I installed an application Memory Clean from the App Store and I need to run it every so often to keep the load down. It shows of the 8GB available, App Memory eating up 3.32 GB, File Cache 2.25 GB, Wired 1.16 GB, Compressed 122.03 MB for used 6.80 GB.
    I am considering upping the memory from 8 GB to 16 GB, but think it is something else dragging it down. I am not a total computer newbie, but am no where near a techomage so any advice given if it could be in simple to follow instructions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for any advice given, have a great day.

    How to manage intermittent lag in OS X Yosemite | MacIssues
    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

  • Suddenly slow loading of websites and RBB in Safari and Chrome

    I'm working with a MBPro 17" 2009, Mavericks 10.9.4 and suddenly RAM seems to be full especially when using Chrome or Safari Broswers. I know there is a problem with a sector of my hard drive, this is an old story; the slow web page loading and rotating beach ball are new. My ethernet connection is reasonably fast, 29 ms ping + 6mbps down + 2mbps up. I tested DNS with name bench and changed to the fastest servers.
    Occasionally also seeing this slowness with iPhoto, or when moving photos to an email, etc.
    Posted below is my EtreCheck summary and also a snapshot of a SmartUtility run tonight, which indicates the hard drive problem.
    One thing I notice is that even after uninstalling Chrome (which had become practically impossible to use), I still see some references to Chrome as a user login item and internet plug-in. I don't know how to remove these, if that would help. (Uninstalling Chrome helped.)
    Also attached are screenshots of Activity Monitor showing CPU usage and Memory usage.
    Thanks for any advice.

    are you suggesting a used hard drive?
    No; $35 is sufficient for a brand new 320 GB internal hard disk drive with a warranty. Another $19 will buy one with three times that capacity. Do not buy "used".
    And do you think this is the problem I've described?
    It is a problem that must be corrected before addressing anything else that could be a contributing factor. It is premature to conclude it is the only problem though.
    Consider yourself fortunate in that you have been given advance warning of its impending doom, and that you already have a Time Machine backup. Hard disk drives often fail with no warning at all. They are all wear items that should be considered disposable, given their replacement cost.

  • Slow performance in browser and OS -- EtreCheck Included

    Hello all, I'll keep this as short and detailed as possible.
    I bought a Macbook Pro for my wife two years ago, but the machine has been very slow since I got it for her.  I've always been a Windows guy myself and am very familiar with troubleshooting in a Windows environment.  I have almost no experience with OSX, however, and have no idea which applications would be needed for troubleshooting, etc.
    As my wife describes the issue, the OS itself is very slow.  She opens the laptop and a full twelve minutes pass before the system is fully responsive.  She has to keep pressing the power button for anything to work.  The screen will be greyed out and a loading bar will appear at the bottom.  It takes so long to load that the system falls asleep and she has to restart multiple times.
    I have noted that the browser is also slow.  My wife uses Safari almost all the time.  I installed Chrome to see how a fresh browser install would perform in OSX, and the speed was very slow as well.  An internet speed test at speedtest.net results in:
    Ping - 47ms
    Down Speed - 5.96 Mbps
    Up Speed - .89 Mbps
    Included below is the result from an Etrecheck run
    Problem description:

    If the machine has always taken 12 minutes to start up, since it came out of the box, then it was and is defective. There's nothing to do in that case but to take it in for service.

  • How do I use my apple bluetooth keyboard with touch and will I still be able to use it with my ipad?

    How do I use my apple bluetooth keyboard with touch and will I still be able to use it with my ipad?

  • Why has my native windows 7 Pro-64 network to a windows 7 Pro-64 VM has slowed to a crawl and freezes, after the new Arris cable modem was installed?

    Please appreciate the details, so the complete situation can be visualized:
    The office network:
    New Mac Mini PC running Win 7Pro 64, (in boot camp), networked to an iMac running the same Win 7 Pro 64, VM, UNDER Fusion 7Pro.
    To review: My treatment rooms former dell PC/running vista business/ running the server and network versions of my Dental practice mgmt & X-ray capture apps, had no probs WLAN to the front desk iMac running the same PC client dental network apps under the same vista business, & Fusion 4. The dell slowly fried its power supply .
    I could not wait to replace it with a Mac mini/ boot camp/ win7 pro 64 bit, as it has to run natively to capture X-rays. The front desk iMac was also upgraded to os10.10.3/ Fusion 7pro/ and its own matching Win7 pro 64bit. The iMac is wired and WLAN connected to a netgear d600 router and a Time Warner Cable  modem. The modem then failed and was replaced by an arris modem. As the Arris was configured out of the box, the network ran much slower slowed, as compared to the original modem. BUT-  The Vonage 2 line phone system stopped working- no incoming or outgoing voices could be heard after it rang. Then twc remote configured it and the phone now works, but the network iMac slowed to a crawl, and now freezes when accessing the Mac Mini PC dental server to edit or enter data. The Mini perfectly accesses the internet via wifi. It accesses the front desk canon  printer by wifi, and can print share they the iMac that is wired to the printer, as well, BUT, the network connection is a spinning pinwheel. The front desk imac easily finds the Mac Mini PC server on the network. It connects easily by entering the servers IPv4 address SHOULD THAT last value change.  But if data isn't entered in slow motion, the window and app freezes, and has to be force quit by Task Manager!
    Cause:
    1. I think TWC switched the cable modem from the default- Non Bridged, to Bridged mode. Could this be the cause?
    2. The network setting in fusion, on the iMac is auto detect, a setting that always worked with vista and with the new Win7 system, before TWC installed the new arris modem. 3. Switching to NAT does not work at all is there a different setting to use?
    3. Does the Netgear Router  have to have a port or pref configured so as not to block the  Server.
    4. might in need an Access Point (I have an extra netgear wdr3400) ).
    5. Do I need an Extender that plugs into the AC LINE?
    I hope this info helps.
    PS:(some addtl info:
    1. File sharing works fine between the minis -Mac and boot camp sides and between the iMacs- Mac and VM sides and between eother side to or from either of the 2 computers! 2. Also  either office computer and all of my my home macs , (& my iPad, & iPhone), can access each other instantly and flawlessly, with splash top streamer and jump desktop remote apps, as controller or as client!  In fact, the front desk iMac can remote control the mini PC AS IF YOU WERE DIRECTLY ENTERING INFO I TO IT!
    SO I think it's either a misconfiguration in the TWC cable modem  &/or some additional pref to config in the router? Thanks so much for your help, (been using VM's since VPC1. & Win95 in a iMac, 1999, DV MODEL! (TWC BLAMES VONAGE FOR NOT OPENING SOME PORTS IN THE TELE MODEM. Vonage blames TWC FOR NOTopeningj ITS PORTS IN THE CABLE MODEM, when they meant the ports on the Netgear.  They have passed the buck for 6 weeks with not even a guess at what to do. VERY FRUSTRATING!  Again, thanks to all!

    Okay Saint Steven, I'll bite:
    I read your description multiple times, very carefully, and I am still confused. May I suggest the following:
    * Follow basic troubleshooting procedures. Isolate each individual problem. Don't try to get everything working at once. Make one change at a time.
    * If I read your description correctly, the Netgear D600 (??) Router is the office LAN (not WLAN). Connect each piece on the LAN separately one-by-one, and test each piece individually. Get your LAN and its devices working first. Forget about the Vonage and the Arris Cable modem.
    * Next, look at your Internet connection. Again, try each piece separately. Depending on how the original cable modem and the new Arris cable modem are configured, you may also have to adjust the configuration of the Netgear D600 Router. 
    * Finally, if you are still having problems, try to organize your thoughts and presentation before you post again. List each element in your network. List how each element is configured. Be systematic.
    "Arris cable modem" does not help much - some are simple bridges, others are routers, etc.
    To answer your questions:
    1. I can't tell from your confusing description, but I don't think so. It seems like the problems are associated with the system changes you made (replacing Dell, etc.) and the problems seem to be isolated to the local LAN.
    2. Auto detect should work, but it is easy to change and test, as long as you change one thing at a time.
    3. No. The Netgear router should allow all communications on the local LAN. Could you have put the "server" in the DMZ?
    Note: I could not find a Netgear "D600" model in a web search. Do you mean N600?
    4. No. I doubt that you need an additional access point. Based on your description, everything appears to connect to the LAN.
    5. No. See 4.
    To repeat myself:
    * Do careful, systematic troubleshooting.
    * Provide carefully written, detailed description of your network and system configurations when you ask for help.
    Good luck!

  • My performance is very slow when I run graphs. How do I increase the speed at which I can do other things while the data is being updated and displayed on the graphs?

    I am doing an an aquisition and displaying the data on graphs. When I run the program it is slow. I think because I have the number of scans to read associated with my scan rate. It takes the number of seconds I want to display on the chart times the scan rate and feeds that into the number of samples to read at a time from the AI read. The problem is that it stalls until the data points are aquired and displayed so I cannot click or change values on the front panel until the updates occur on the graph. What can I do to be able to help this?

  • Firefox will not open can't open preferences or anything was responding slow earlier in the day had been closed with 2 tabs open when trying to open in the second tab it responded really slow so sut down and used Safari instead

    this morning I had 2 tabs open was trying to open my bank web site and it seemed to respond really slow so closed firefox and opened Safari instead the site still responded slow but finally opened when I closed and went back to firefox it would not open can't re-install it or delete it or basically anything nothing is opening

    <u>'''Kill Application'''</u>
    In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the <u>'''Processes'''</u> tab?
    See: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Kill_application Kill Application]
    '''<u>Causes and solutions for Firefox hanging at exit:</u>'''
    [[Firefox hangs]]
    [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit Firefox hangs at exit]
    [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
    <u>'''Safe Mode'''</u>
    You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes <u>'''before'''</u> starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
    See:
    '''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
    '''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
    '''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
    If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling <u>'''one at a time'''</u> until the problem reappears. <u>'''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change'''</u> via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
