Yoga 13 wifi is extremely poor

Note: there is another thread about this marked "Solved" when it really wasn't. The original poster marked it that way, but the vast majority of people in that thread are still having problems with no response from Lenovo reps. Hopefully this new thread will alert the reps to the fact that the problem is still ongoing.
I've been measuring the wifi performance of the Yoga 13, and it's much worse than my iPad and Lenovo X220. The other devices get 2-3 bars in a room where the Yoga can't connect.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Several weeks ago I proposed a different take on the wifi problems.  Every test since then has confirmed it.   I have bars of wifi strength through 2 walls and 40 feet away and receive 2 to 2.5 megabytes/second.  In other words, good performance.  BUT, if there is any disruption in reception (use of the kitchen microwave for example) the connection throttles down to between 120 and 160 kilobytes/second but never adjusts back to full speed.  The good news, this is most likely a driver or software issue.
The bad news is Lenovo's approach supporting this product.  I see so many users working so hard to help Lenovo work out the kinks on this expensive product they are committed to.  But no one from Lenovo is giving any feedback.  I see other companies scouring all the forums that mention their products to obtain input and then participate.  Even sales people at the retail outlet know wifi is a problem.  Yet Lenovo has to ask us if the issue is resolved.  This could have been a great product.  I have three more weeks where I can return my unit.  I hope that the rest of you do too.  Simply an honest status and participatin by Lenovo would turn me around.

  • Extremely Poor WIFI. Now have Bluetooth issues.

    I have been having an extremely poor WIFI connection. I recently upgraded to 10.4.6 and noticed this problem. Is there something wrong with 10.4.6 that would cause this or is it an internal problem with my PowerBook? Also is there anyway to check the AirPort card on my laptop?
    Well I am editing this to add another issue, i just noticed that my blue tooth just went unavailable. My bluetooth icon in the menu bar has a squigle through it. When I click on it it says that it is not available.
    Thanks in advance.

    As far as the wifi connection, powerbooks are notorious for poor reception. I haven't heard of 10.4.6 causing any new issues, but people have been complaining about the powerbooks' reception for a long time. iBooks and most pc laptops get better reception. In newer aluminum models, you can't check the airport card. It's inside the unit. In 1.25 aluminum powerbooks, I know you could access the airport card through the battery bay.
    For your bluetooth issue, I'd recommend restarting first of all. If that doesn't help, I'd reset your power management unit. You can find directions for your particular model here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
    If that doesn't help, I'd boot from your software disc and run disk utility.
    Let us know if that does any good.

  • NOKIA N95 EXTREMELY POOR BATTERY

    Hei.
    I have bought Nokia N95 last week and returned it today after extremely poor battery performance. I observed following things:-
    1) I charged the battery full early in the morning at 6. I recieved just one call at 9 and my battery was finished at 2:30. Just for 8 hours standby time?
    2) I charged it fully, used GPS for 30 mins and battery was finsihed after 3 hours? What was that?
    3) I fully charged the battery connected to WIFI and did chat on MSN for around 1 hour and battery was finished exactly after 3.5 hours.
    Nokia builtup so great device and with so much poor battery?
    We will be getting battery replacement? or nokia will be releasing some new battery in future for N95?
    Anyone if having same problem with battery please post comments here or its just with my device?
    Waqar.

    selling my n95 on ebay
    battery is too poor
    i need a phone that dosent need charging 2x 3x every day just for average general use
    gonna go back to my n73 battery is much better operating system is nice and stable after v4 on n73-- i hate the key miss bug in the v12 firmware on n95 --
    i dont need wifi
    dont like maps and in built gps as it takes so long even with the assisted thing turnt on
    my n73 and tomtom is up and running in 1 min max via bluetooth gps
    allthough it would be handy to have the inbuilt one when i didnt have my reciever but my battery would prob drain after 1-2 hours :-)
    my gps reciever goes for at least 6 hours constantly connected probs much longer and that only cst 30 quid
    dunno i was just much more satisfied with the n73 as a contract upgade
    even the slider seems loose
    this device is supposed to cost 500+ quid on nokias website
    if i paid that i would be sooooo dispaointed
    just my view
    if your near a power source all the time or are in the car with a charger youd prob be ok but i just think nokia could/should have put a better battery in there i mean it plays music for like 3-4 hours then batterys drained a half decent mp3 player will last 10-15 hours and my n73 does 5-6 no probs :-)
    cheeses it even more they release the american nokia n95 with bigger battery

  • Extreme poor quality in full screen preview and exported movie

    I have spend evenings and evenings to create the content of a project.
    After dealing with error -108 and extreme poor quality in full screen preview and in exported movies (extreme stuttering) I decided to install my iMac new again.
    The error -108 disappeared, but the extreme stuttering still remained in full screen preview and in exported movies.
    If I make the preview screen in the iMovie browser as big as possible there is nothing to see of any stuttering.
    Now I am getting pretty annoyed and have no clue what to do anymore (how to solve this problem) .....
    Anyone any suggestion ?
    The orginal video was recorded with a Panasonic HD camcorder.
    I do have a mid 2011 iMac with 16GB ram and 256GB SSD and 1TB HD with a complete clean installation
    of OS X Lion and iLife. This configuration should be enough to create a proper movie :-(

    why is it this option disabled? do the generate monitor sized previews increase a lot the cache a lot!
    Potentially, yes. The standard Preview is 1024 pixels, longest size. Some people (like Omke) have displays 2560 pixels longest side, potentially increasing file size by over 500%.

  • Wifi is extremely SLOW

    I'm not sure what's going on. My wifi is extremely slow. I know it's not the network, I have a PC hooked up via ethernet and it runs fast/normal. I also have a NAS on it, and the drives are mounted, sometimes. Often, it'll fail to make a connection to them. Again, the NAS shows up fine on the PC. I'm not sure why my macbook pro has such slow wifi; my previous mac ran fine and I haven't tinkered with anything in the network.

    I have two routers both work fine. Only thing that has issues is the GS60 and GS70
    Updating firmware can solve/improve the compatibility issue.
    Quote from: Rostan;108706
    This guy is in the process of trouble shooting an issue with the Drivers and has not found a solution so there is nothing useful from this.
    Changing wifi connection to 802.11a/5GHz band can improve the download speed. I'd give that a try.
    The last issue he has is that his home router doesn't support 802.11a.

  • FCPX 10.2 audio extremely poor from HDV import

    As of version 10.2., audio imported from a SONY FX1k (tape-based camera, has extremely poor quality once in the browser or on the timeline. It sounds a little like phone calls over the internet at very low bandwidth. The last time I imported from the SONY FX1 was under version 10.1 and the audio was fine. When i play back the imported clip in QTPlayer 10 directly from the Original Media folder (via ...fcpbundle > Package Contents > ...), the audio is fine!! When I duplicate a clip from the Original Media folder to a folder outside of the package and then "re-import" it, audio again becomes terrible.
    I tested this with older tapes i still have and imported without problems in older versions of FCPX. But in 10.2., that footage now has extremely poor sound quality.
    Anybody else with this issue? Any ideas what could be going on?

    I have the same problem. I can not import footage from my CF card using USB 3.0. The whole thing crashes.
    So, a solution I found (not a solution but a work around!) is to do a camera archive in FCPX with your card and save it to either an external driver or to your desk top. Then disconnect the USB 3.0 and then import from your camera archive.
    That worked for me.

  • Headphone sound quality extremely poor, why?

    Had dust in the head phone socket, cleared this out and now the sound is extremely poor quality. Is the socket damaged beyond repair?

    I've tried that, and numerous headphones in the iphone. It's definitely the phone.
    Thanks anyway

  • Why the extremely poor sound quality in playback with itunes?

    I am having problems with the sound quality of itunes music. this applies to both downloads and cd's. This problem is new, I believe, and affects bluetooth speaker, earphones, and macbook pro internal speaker. All have extremely poor playback with itunes. This Problem does not happen with playback of youtube videos.
    Thanks for any advice you can give.

    I would be worth playing some tracks with Quicktime so see what the quality is like there.
    iTunes uses Quicktime to play music.

  • Extremely poor sound quality on all apps after using Real Player!

    Hi there
    On my Leopard iMac (Core2Duo) I am experiencing extremely poor 'lo-fi-like' quality on all audio from all applications including iTunes, Quicktime and Safari as a result of using Real Player to play a file online.
    I very rarely use Real Player and this was the first time I'd used it in months to even a year. The file was a simple RAM file from a store website allowing me to listen to a sample of a music file. When played, the quality was low but I expected this from a music sample, and from Real Player. However, after closing Real Player, I noticed the sound quality had dramatically dropped to an almost un-listenable quality.
    I have restarted and uninstalled Real Player with no luck. The poor sound quality still comes through my internal speakers, as well as external speakers, so it seems like a software issue.
    Not sure what to do, please can anyone help as the audio is used all day every day on this iMac!
    Thank you

    Just tried it as I did get iLife with my Mac. GarageBand froze for the first few times I loaded it up, then I managed to get it to work. Played with the on-screen keyboard which produced perfect sound.
    Closed GarageBand, restarted iTunes, tested, working perfectly! Crystal clear sound back again!
    Thanks so much for that, really appreciated!

  • IMAC not Performing extremely poorly

    Please Help-
    I purchased two 24' iMAC machines for our office.
    Installed all my software from my mirror door G4, plus new copies of CS2 Suite.
    I can harldy switch from program to program, saving 100 mb files out of Photoshop takes fifteen minutes, Illustrator hardly works, safari crashes, the entire system runs extremely poorly.
    I have upgraded to 2gb of ram, but only 533 Mhz, I have no extra fonts loaded. I work off a firewire - 2.0 USB external drive, so no files are on the HD. The USB is plugged into the high speed port on the back of the machine.
    I have downloaded Cocktail and run scripts, restarted, verified and repaired permissions, zapped P-Ram, everything I can think- and these forums say to do - and nothing works.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Kevin

    If you used migration assistant to transfer files to your new mac, that is your problem. I have read about others on here who have had the same problem. Some programs and/ or files set up for power pc and not intel are causing your slowdown. You probably are going to have to reinstall osx and import them manually. It is tedious process, but it should solve the problem. I have not had this problem personaly, but others on here have and I do believe this is the fix for it. Try doing some other searches in the forums and see if there is anything else you can do. Also, photoshop is not yet universal and still set up for power pc so it's performance is going to be less than great. I wouldn't use 533 mhz memory in your mac. The specs are supposed to be for 667mhz memory. If that is causing your slowdown I am not for certain I am no computer engineer, but it would seem that using slower memory in the system would definitely cause performance issues. You are running a risky setup using memory not designed for your computer. Good luck.

  • Why does my brand new HP Officejet 5740 have extremely poor quality scan results?

    My brand new HP Officejet 5740 has extremely poor quality scan results!  
    Excessive and unacceptable amounts of white specs appear in the resulting  jpegs, of what are  perfectly clean, orignal, dark,  documents, pages and  photos,  when placed into the scanner.  Why is this happening???
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?  If so, how did you resolve it?

    Hi @mpstone1,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are not happy with the scan quality on your new HP Officejet 5740, when you scan something you are getting alot of white specs.
    I would like you to first perform a Hard Reset on the OJ 5740:
    1. Unplug all cables and memory cards from the printer. Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer while the printer is still turned on.
    2. Unplug the other end of the cord from the power source.
    3. If there is a power module on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.
    4. After 60 seconds, plug the cord directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup as they can cause the printer to lose basic functionality over time).
    5. Plug the power cord into the back of the printer.
    6. The printer should automatically power back up. If it doesn't, turn it on with the power button.
    7. Try making a photocopy (if your printer is an all-in-on printer) before connecting any other cables to the printer.
    8. Connect any other needed cables to the printer.
    Please continue here: Vertical Bands, Lines, or Streaks in Copies, Faxes, or Scans, complete the steps listed, make sure the scanner lid is fully down when powering on, do not lift the lid until the printer is fully initialzied.
    If after the troubleshooting has been done the copy quality has not improved, contact our technical support at 800-474-6836 as it may be the hardware and you would still be in warranty. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

  • My apple new apple ipad wifi connectivity is poor

    hi presently iam using latest ipad. i observed its wifi connectivity is poor. when try to connect ipad via wifi it is taking lot of time some times not getting coneect if the signal is poor, while my laptop, my phone and my ipod were connecting very fast. is their any solution.

    If your router is dual-band, try ensuring that the SSID is different for the 5GHz band from the 2.4GHz one. 
    If sounds like your other devices which have no issue would all be 2.4GHz only.
    If this is the case, try updating your router firmware - latest can firmware can make it easier for dual-band devices to connect firmly to the router without 'hunting' between signals of similar strength from the two bands from the same router.
