Yoga 2-11 Onscreen Keyboard won't stay up when in tablet mode

I have seen many topics about the onscreen keyboard not staying on when in tablet mode but most of it from 2013. I am having this problem and I cannot find a solution. I have to go to laptop mode to sign in and then go back to tablet mode. The keyboard pops up but as soon as it does it goes away. What is the fix? Yoga 2-11 purchased Dec 2014 from Best Buy.

Thank you for your swift suggestion! I think it has worked I will monitor it for a couple of days

My wireless keyboard won't stay on long enough to pair with ipad

my wireless keyboard will not stay on long enough to be recognized with my ipad to pair it. It pairs just fine with my macbook pro (i'm using it right now to prove my point.) I bought it to use for the ipad not with the macbook. I have replaced batteries and tried the aluminum trick as well. it's obvious to me that it is not a case of it not working but why it won't work with the ipad is beyond me. Help is appreciated.

I'm having the same problem. The light on my keyboard won't stay lit. Have changed to new batteries. It used to work fine and when I opened Bluetooth this morning (I have not used the keyboard in a while) it recognized "Apple Wireless Keyboard". After trying to connect and getting an error message (tried this about a dozen times) I clicked on Forget this Device. Turned off Bluetooth and back on. Sometimes it will pull up "Keyboard" but not Apple Wireless keyboard as in the past and which is what shows on my iphone (it connects automatically). Then I thought maybe the iPhone Bluetooth was interfering with the keyboard connecting so I turned it off on the iPhone. Same issue. Shows keyboard as discoverable but will not connect. I have the ipad3 and my keyboard is only 3 or 4 months old.

Hi, Couselor.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Start with closing any open applications in multitasking and restarting the device. If unfamiliar with multitasking, I have included a screenshot on how to process an application close. Test the results after processing these steps.
iOS: Force an app to close

IdeaPad Yoga Windows 8.1 OnScreen keyboard does not stay open

hi
I just bought a new ideapad yoga and upgraded from windows 8 to windows 8.1. Unfortunately, I can't open the onscreen keyboard. After it opens, it immediately closes itself. This problem has also been described here, but wasn't solved:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-tms/ideapad-yoga-13-virtual-keyboard-does...
Is this a known issue? Does this have anything todo with drivers? - What can I do about it?
Thank you!

Anyone got some tips? How can I contact the Lenovo support otherwise?
I am thinking of selling my Lenovo and buying another (definitely non-Lenovo) device. They always have troubles with their drivers (and have poor support)!! Something like that never happened to my Dell notebooks.
Thanks.

Yoga 3 pro. Keyboard won't lock in stand mode. Win10

I noticed recently that keyboard and trackpad will not disable when in stand mode anymore. In tablet mode keyboard is disabled but not the trackpad.This was working before and the issue might be related to win 10, which I updated to. Not sureIs there a setting anywhere to enable keyboard lock? I can't find it anywhere Please help

I installed Lenovo Settings from the Windows App Store, which instructed me to download and install the system interface fundation. https://download.lenovo.com/enm/sift/core/SystemInterfaceFoundation.exe Not sure if that is related, but that resolved my keyboard issue.

Onscreen keyboard doesn't display all characters in QWERTY mode in iOS7

Since installing iOS7, the onscreen keyboard has been sluggish. Tonight, all of a sudden, the onscreen keyboard doesn't display all characters on the keys in QWERTY mode - only the B, N, comma, and period keys show their characters on their key face. All of the other white keys are blank. When you press one of the blank keys, the character does display on the key face momentarily and does show in the text box that you are typing in. This only seems to occur in QWERTY mode. If you switch to QWERTZ or AZERTY software keyboard layouts, the keys do display their characters on their key face. If you split the keyboard in QWERTY mode the all keys display normally. This occurs in any application.
We've tried:
Turning off and turning off
Resetting by holding the sleep/wake and home button
Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings
Nothing has worked so far... Help!

Thanks Carolyn, we are going to try and 'Restore the iPad' tonight. We went to an Apple store this afternoon - they haven't seen this before and suggested the same thing, to try and 'Restore the iPad'.
Here is an image just to be clear about what the issue is - in this example we are in Safari, trying to type a url:

Yoga 2 Pro - Black screen when on tablet mode

Hi,
2 weeks Yoya 2 pro out of the box, and get a black screen when reaching the tablet mode (back of the lid touching the back of the laptop base).
I try hanged the setting under power management, with no success. When reaching the tablet mode, I get the same result as closing the lid in laptop mode.
I connect my Yoga 2 to a TV through the HDMI and can see the screen and interact with the black screen (not easy to touch the right spot).
My bios is updated and I have Windows 8.1.
Any suggestion???

I found the answer to my problem at
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tablets-and/Yoga-2-Bios-Update-Crash/m-p/1322487/high...
Now that I found that post I do recall the instructions telling me to turn it off manually when I updated the bios earlier this year. However, the current instructions do not mention it at all, perhaps they should be updated?

Yoga 2 13 Tablet Screen turns off when in Tablet Mode

I just bought my Yoga 2 13, when I flip it to Tablet mode, the screen turns off. Apparently it goes to sleep. When I open it it turns on again. Do I need to do any adjustments? or is this a defect?

Try updating your drivers first: http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/yoga-series/yoga-2-13-notebook-l...
If that does not help, try a factory reset:
1. Turn off your Yoga 2 13
2. Press the tiny button next to the power button on the right
3. Follow instructions to perform a factory reset
If none of the above attempts have helped you, it is probably a hardware issue.

My bluetooth keyboard won't stay connected. I have to hold the power button to type

wireless keyboard says connected then connection lost. All I did was replace the batteries when the old ones died. Now I have to hold the power button just to type. Seems like a hardware problem not preferences. Any clues?

Hello:
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.
Then delete a preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.

New Wireless Keyboard won't stay linked

I use a MBP running Leopard in closed lid configuration at work and at home most of the time unless I'm on the road. My old white wireless keyboard never forget it is synched with my laptop. However, at home I constantly have to re-introduce my new aluminum wireless keyboard to my closed lid laptop. This gets old because when I restart at home I usually like to boot off of an external drive, and of course with no active keyboard I can't use the "option" key to select my boot drive.
This did not do this under Tiger BTW.
Any ideas? I reset PRAM. Should I delete all wireless keyboards and start again? Can more than one wireless keyboard be used on the same computer (at separate times)?
Any suggestions would be helpful in order to avoid having to crack the laptop lid open to get to the non-wireless keyboard on the laptop. This sometimes confuses my external video output to my

May the new wireless keyboard itself has connecting problem, restore the factory default settings.

Wireless aluminum keyboard won't stay on

I'm trying to pair my wireless aluminum keyboard with my Mac Mini. I have OS10.5.8 and I've run the aluminum keyboard 2.0 update. My keyoard light comes on for about 2 seconds then goes out. batteries are new and in correctly. My mini is able to discover the keyboard after a bit of fooling with the on/off or removing and replacing the batteries, but when it goes to pair it always fails.

Hello:
Try resetting the PRAM (if you can) and the SMC.
If that does not help, I would suspect a faulty KB.

Onscreen keyboard won't appear how to I force it to?

On certain websites -- especially ones heavy on flash - even though it's an area for text input, I can't get the keyboard to appear. Is there any way to force the keyboard to show?
Carol

I Have Xfinity email and when I access it using the Safari browser, it defaults to a mobile version with no traces of Flash anywhere in the email area of the site. I'm not sure what you are seeing or why you are seeing that particular version of the email website.
Another option ..... XFinity has a pretty decent email app that works quite well and has more features that the built in mail app has. You will not be able to download it in France, I'm sure, but when you get back to the U.S., consider using it.

Why does Onscreen Keyboard Icon not pup up when tapping in a control?

When using touch screen, tapping in an input field brings up a small keyboard icon nearby (see image).
This icon allows to open the on screen keyboard near the input element. This works in many applications (notepad, windows explorer, ...).
My questions:
Why does this not happen when running an executable built by LabVIEW 2012?
Can I do anything to enable this?
Is this supported by LabVIEW 2014? (Only the customer's computer has a touch screen. Can I emulate this for testing?)
My current work around is to add a button near important controls. When clicked, "TabTip.exe" is started and the focus is set back to the input element. A disadvantage is that the Keyboard opens centered on the screen, probably hiding the active control. And placing a button everywhere is routine work.
Technical details:
Windows 7 64bit on a Computer with a touch screen
Exe built with LabVIEW 12.0.1f5 32bit

Hi falkpl,
thanks for your work around.
I do not use a mouse click solution because I can not distinguish between a mouse click and a touch on the screen. And I prefer to not launch any on screen keyboard on a mouse click. Especially because the on screen keyboard opens anywhere on the screen and can hide the control. This is especially nasty when there is a physical keyboard (which is probably is connected when a mouse is there).
I could combine the ideas. Clicking in a control could open a VI nearby, which only shows a small keyboard icon. Clicking this icon would start an on screen keyboard (osk.exe, tabtip.exe, a keyboard written in LabVIEW).
But this is reprogramming the existing behaviour of windows, not really funny.
Placing the "Keyboard Icon Button" VI nicely would take some time, but should work because all is in LabVIEW. (It would also open when using the mouse, but only a small icon should be ok.) For not hiding the active control by the on screen keyboard, the task gets hard. (Positioning the TabTip.exe window is not easy, and creating [or adapting] an on screen keyboard in pure LabVIEW brings some other problems.)
Should we vote for Touchpanel-Control-Suite-with-Native-LabVIEW-On-screen-Keyboard or is it different from our needs? (I'd prefer to have the functionality in all control styles, not only in a special "Touch Control" set. But maybe I misunderstand the idea.)
Greetings,
shb
