Yoga 13: the Realtek RTL8723A new driver not yet working properly

After having faced lots of stability issues with my bluetooth mouse (Microsoft Sculpt Touch) I installed the new driver for the wifi/bluetooth chip RTL8723A (v1.04.0213 - 6th June 2013) and after having used it for several weeks, I have noted the following:
Bluetooth issue:
- Still several disconnection of my mouse (but slighty less than before)
- There is a general trend that my mouse connection is worser everyday (used to work better) - and not a problem of batteries
Wifi issue:
- If I activate the "plane mode" from windows 8 wifi bar, it's impossible to reactivate the wifi! I have to run the windows'internal utility to sort out the problem (right clic on the wifi bar from the desktop and "resolve problems")
- Sometime the wifi just doesn't connect properly (its connected on the router but there is no network) and I have to turn on the plane mode and do what I wrote above to make the wifi work again. But some time it doesn't work and I have to reboot
- Despite the "wifi hotspot mode" is implemented (the "netsh wlan start hostednetwork" command) and work it's so instable that it always end in crashing the computer and followed by a reboot (perfectly managed by Windows 8 at least). Anyway I managed to cope with that during my holidays (I used it to create another wifi network which was a network share of another wifi network to which I could only log in for one device (my Yoga 13) - so I used my "hostednetwork" to connect iDevices at the same time). But after several crashes and reboot, the wifi was so instable that I had to reinstal the driver
I have never faced so much bugs in a so basic but vital component of a laptop which is the network card. This card is already far beyond what we could expect of a laptop of this range (the wifi n is single band, no 300 nor 450 mbits speed! It's worse than any modern smartphone!) and has not a good sensitivity but in top the driver seems to have been written by beginners.
So Lenovo, please, do something and pressurise your provider (Realtek) so as they release a driver working correctly - or just don't use their cards and invest in better providers (like Intel which is doing great network cards with professional class software).

Sorry to hear about all your wifi issues. Unfortunately a lot of Yoga 13 owners are having problems, especially due to Realtek compatibility with specific router hardware. Just to see if things improve you might try some of the other driver versions discussed here:
The "Beta" wifi driver from diecast17 is a little older than the official June 6th driver but first improved wireless for many users: http://forum.notebookreview.com/ideapad-essential/640537-ideapad-yoga-109.html#post9180970
There is a slightly newer Bluetooth driver for another Lenovo product that also works for the Yoga 13 (per this forum thread, installs version 05/22/2013-1.3.744.3 vs. 09/06/2012-1.3.644.3): http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS034706

Realtek HD Audio Driver Not Completing install - error message

Could I just say first that I am far from being technical minded so please allow for possible lapses in info.
Just done another complete reinstall of Win XP - formatted drive etc.
However unlike on previous instances the Realtek HD Audio driver has not installed.
I have downloaded the latest version - 5.10.0.5605 but this too at very near the end of installation gives the message Install Realtek HD Audio Driver Failure [Error Code 0xE0000227]
I have the G33M Series MS-7357(v1.X) Mainboard with Intel Core 2 Duo
Hope this is enough info to anyone to offer advice.
Thanks

Yoga 2 13 Realtek HD audio StereoMix not working

In Windows I have always been using the internal stereo mix option to record audio with Audacity from different sources.
Untill now I have not succeeded in doing so with the Yoga.
I have managed to make the option Stereo Mix available in Device Manager and the Sound mixer, making it the default Recording Devices.
But Audacity only is able to record microphone noise, although the input is Stereo Mix (Realtek HD)??
It seems to be Lenovo specific, disabling this option in their version of the Realtek HD audio drivers (v 6.0.1.7246).
As it did work with my Samsung 535 with the same soundcard (Win8.1), I tried to install that version of the soundcard drivers (6.0.1.669). But without succes.
Anyone succeeded in enabling Stereo mix on the Yoga with the Realtek HD audio card,
so without adding a USB sound card?

I have a Yoga2Pro now and found out it's Stereo Mix works great with Audacity, but ...
The sound quality is very bad, when recording with the internal speakers.
Probably the output is equalized to make the sound quality of the small speakers acceptable.
Witht the headphones plugged in the sound quality is okay ...

The realtek Network Controller was not found. WIN10

Hi, Need a little bit of help. Laptop is SATELLITE P50-B. Wifi - not detecting any network. Wired - still no networkchecked device manager, network driver is present no bang, not disabled. tried to uninstall it and restart the laptop and still same thing. tried to uninstall it and download the driver from the support website and still same thing. so i tried again to reinstall the driver and this time got a message "The realtek Network Controller was not found. If deep sleep mode is enabled Please plug the cable" First time to encounter that message.

Hi CB, did you mean PSPNsU or PSPNU only? mine is PSPNsU. And yes i did go to the settings already to make sure that its on. Interesting part is I tried my ethernet cable already and still it doesn't detect the connection.

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

I have a macmini on order, I wonder if I can pair the wireless apple keyboard and magic touchpad without using any other input devices, especially, since everything is brand new and not yet paired.

You may just want to save yourself any possible issues
by just hooking up a wired keyboard and mouse on first
start up. Any USB keyboard and mouse should work.
There have been many that have had problems on first boot
using the Bluetooth devices.

i allready try restart and nothing and in try to connect to itunes it does not pick up my ipad what can i do

How are you resetting the device? I presume you're doing something like this?
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button (on the top of the ipad) and Home button together for at least ten seconds until the Apple logo appears.
What happens after the device resets? Does the Apple logo appear to be replaced by the home screen? Does the iPad respond to any of the buttons or the screen at all?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
Try This - Renew IP Address:
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list

Can you take the SIM card from an IPad and transfer it to a NEW Ipad (not yet purchased) without any problems? Are there any complicated steps involved? Thanks.

Can you take the SIM card from an IPad and transfer it to a NEW Ipad (not yet purchased) without any problems? Are there any complicated steps involved? This is for my boss.
Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Simple answer is YES.
The only caviat is for instance in the UK some iPads are locked to a specific network provider and therefore if the new iPad is locked then it will only work on the specific network it is locked to.

Dear ladies and gentlemen!
I recently received on my notebook, operating system 8.1, the message "Adobe Acrobat is no longer working properly". I also found myself that I can copy from einerPDF file excerpts not without problems in another document. My Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro has released version 9.0.0. Two updates this version is not listed. Please inform me how I can fix this problem.
Sincerely, Walter Hacksteiner

The first thing I would try is to update Acrobat 9 to the latest version 9.5.5
The next thing would be to run Acrobat 9 in Windows 7 or Vista or XP Compatibility Mode.

DG broker is the way to go. There are only minor points you can't control - like when you have standby redo logs and no redo application delay, dg broker will always start real-time apply.
Also, DG broker is the only way if you want fast-start failover (10gR2 feature).
What is the latency of your nework, especially under load? Add this latency to each commit - will the commit time be acceptable? If not, you cannot use sync.
What version do you use? In 10gR1, there are issues with async - there is only about 50MB buffer, and if you get such backlog, even with async commit will wait for standby. (In 10gR2 this is solved, async will read from disk redo logs.)
NET_TIMEOUT - set it low for sync (so commits won't hang long), higher for async. Default is 180 seconds, Oracle recommends minimum value to 10 seconds. I would start with 10 sec for sync, 180 for sync. The main question is, how reliable your network is, and how long brownouts you want to survive without affecting data protection (with the expense of performance).
Regarding the proper setting of all bells and whistles of archive_log_dest_n - I had best experience with leaving it to dg broker. Just set LogXptMode property to sync/async/arch, and let dg broker set everything else (service, valid_for, affirm, retries...).
The authoritative source: http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/htdocs/maa.htm#Publications
If you are on 10.2.0.1 - 10.2.0.3, please see metalink bug 5578157, 5587231 - if sqlnet.outbound_connection_timeout is not set, the lgwr can hang even if net_timeout is set. (Yes, real-world experience:-)
