Yoga 2 pro continually changes mode while case is closed

I love my Yoga 2 Pro but there is one thing I've been unable to figure out: It seems as though the mode (e.g. tent vs. tablet vs. laptop) keeps changing when the case is closed and the computer is moving around.
I'll close the lid which, based on my power settings should put it to sleep (though I guess I have no way of really knowing because the lid is closed), put it in my bag, and as I'm walking around it keeps making the sound that it makes when I explicitly change the mode (e.g. when I fold the keyboard back to go from laptop mode to tablet mode).
This is incredibly annoying - either I have to constantly hear this tone coming from my bag, or I have to stop, get the computer out, log in, shut it down, and lose the state of what I was doing (browser tabs, window position, etc.).
This also makes me worry that the battery is draining while the lid is closed.
Is this a known issue, and is there a fix? Thank you!

I have this exact same problem, and after having my new Yoga 2 11 for only a week, it has become increasingly annoying. Is there anyway to fix this? It's frustrating to have to shut my computer down completely in order to get it not to battery drain or to continue to switch mode. I find that whenever I put it to sleep and close the lid, it powers down for a few seconds but then makes the notification sound - upon opening the lid it says that I am in "Tablet Mode" even though the computer had been compeltely closed. I would really like to fix this, or I may just end up taking the computer back.

Running Android apps on Yoga 2 Pro in tablet mode

I've not been impressed with Windows Metro when using my Yoga 2 Pro in tablet mode, so I have installed BlueStacks (http://www.bluestacks.com/).
So far it's been pretty good, with the occasional glitch.
Anyone else tried it?

Im interested in knowing as well...... I think it is great to use bluestacks on this machine!

Keep Yoga 3 Pro in Laptop Mode

I connect my Yoga 3 Pro to a Lenovo USB dock and display to a large monitor at my office desk.
When I close the lid, my Yoga changes from Laptop Mode to Tablet Mode. I would like to keep it in Laptop Mode when the lid is closed at work, so that I can display some programs in larger font -- in Tablet Mode on my external monitor, QuickBooks is unreadable.
Is there a setting I can change so that, when I connect to my external display, I can close the lid and keep my Yoga in Laptop Mode during that session?
Thanks!

I'd try disabling the ymc service.
Try stopping it in Task Manager -> Services
I'm running without it, since my accelerometer is shot and makes the Yoga think it's in tablet mode all the time, and it seems to keep it in laptop mode all the time.

MacBook Pro comes out of sleep mode while lid is closed

Hey guys,
I have a MacBook Pro that is slightly over a year old. I'm running Leopard 10.5.5, and I have a strange problem where the computer comes out of sleep mode while the lid is still closed. This happens without any USB plugs being inserted or removed. Basically it just comes out of sleep (I can tell because I can hear the hard drive spin up as well as the noise the cd-drive makes when it's woken up), then it seems to realize that the lid is still closed and goes back to sleep. This used to happen somewhat infrequently, but I got fed up when this happened today about 10 times in a row as I was trying to study for an exam.
I have applecare so I'm not worried about having to take it in, it's just a strange, annoying problem. I have not been able to find anything from searching google or the help forums, so if anyone knows what could be causing this and how I can fix the problem it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I did as you said, and I think I found the perpetrating program. It showed:

Any idea what this means? The only other thing that showed up as an issue was:

or

I have no idea what this means, so if anyone can shed some light on it it would be very much appreciated.

Continued iTunes playback while lid is closed?

Is there a way to have iTunes continue to play while the Macbook lid is closed. My speaker system is in my living room, and I'd like to have the computer closed and tucked away if possible while music is playing in the background.

Is there a way to lock the yoga 2 pro in tablet mode? and in vertical?

It is beyond irritating. I can't seem to get it to stay in tablet mode and it switches from tablet to laptop to tent. and rotates even when I put the rotation lock on (from swiping the settings in from the right)

Yoga 2 Pro Case/Sleeve Options

What cases or sleeves are people using? I'm considering the slot in case, but I don't mind the keyboard being face out/down in other modes, and I wanted to see if there was a good case that would cover all 4 edges/corners of the laptop. I guess I'm more concerned about bump/drop protection and the slot in case is a little lacking there or so it looks like from the picture. Here's a link to the slot in case if you haven't seen it:http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/itemdetails/888015541/460/E003FD3CD8BA4B7AA9B6825A0E519746 As for other cases, the Y2P is pretty close in dimensions to the Macbook Air, so hopefully some of those sleeves will fit:Y2P: 12.99" x 8.66" x 0.61"MBA: 12.8" x 8.94" x 0.68" Some of the options I'm looking at (browsing on Amazon, plus searched all amazon reviews for "yoga 2 pro"):http://www.amazon.com/Case-Logic-SSMA-313-13-3-Inch-Ultrabooks/product-reviews/B006P88UQW (might go check this one in store out at Fry's)http://www.amazon.com/Snugg-MacBook-13-inch-Retina-Leather/dp/B00DN6TSVA One commenter said: So I got the 15" version earlier, and I loved it. So I thought I'd get the 13" version for my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, because the dimension is very close to MacBook Air. Sure enough, the sleeve fits *almost* perfectly. It's a little tight, but that's fine for now, since I'm sure it'll get loose as time goes by. The only quibble with this 13" inch version is the fact that it does NOT have the same cutout for charging the laptop while it's in sleeve. I'm not sure whether it's just a defect on the sleeve that I received, or it's just how it is designed, with no cut-out for charging.http://www.amazon.com/Freedom-Neoprene-13-13-3-Notebook-Computer/dp/B00CHIQ5Q6/ One commenter said: My wife got it for her new yoga 2 pro. It fits well. The interior has a cushion that protects the laptop exterior. Second one seems promising to me, since I'd like to avoid the zipper in the third.

So I decided against a case with a zipper and went with the Snugg case based on the customer view saying it fit though it was tight. Well it's way too tight. It takes me a minute to work the laptop out which is too much even for the break in period. I still want a sleeve without a zipper and with a flap over the top, so the Waterfield sleeve is tempting, but it's a little pricier than I wanted. $65 + 2 shipping for the Sleeve with flap.http://www.sfbags.com/products/sleevecases/sleevecases-mac.php An option I should have looked at first is a Timbuk2 Custom Sleeve. I already have a Timbuk2 Messenger bag, and it's only $40+5 shipping and you can pick colors:http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/customizer#!/product/11-custom-envelope-laptop-sleeve/size/2/customizeThe problem is that there is over an inch of room in both dimensions. It fits up to 14"x10.2" Anyone have any other suggestions or just info on what you are using? Edit: Some other options I stumbled onto (don't know if these will all fit):http://www.toshiba.com/us/accessories/Laptop-Cases/Sleeve/PA1523U-1UC3Targus ultrabook sleeveCaselogic Sleeve

Yoga 2 Pro tent mode and auto-rotate not working

I have had a Yoga 2 Pro since June. Recently the Tent mode and auto-rotate features do not work.
When I put the Yoga 2 Pro into Tent mode the keyboard and touch pad are still active underneth. However, they shutoff when in tablet mode. Lenovo Transition starts automatically and is running.
Auto-rotate does not work at all now. The screen is un-locked.

My Aperture 2.1 has gone into a continual thumbnail mode. I left the computer, a MacBook Pro, run all night, about 12 hours and it is still making thumbnails. I tried reloading Aperture 2.1, but that did not change anything. I have also turned the system off, for a period of time, and then turning it back on, when I click on Aperture, it comes up and locks in the thumbnail mode. I can view my stored pictures, even modify them, but it still says thumbnails.
I got in this mode by trying to import "one jpeg photo", from a scanned slide using a Nikon Scan4 IS5000ED scanner. I had saved the scan to my desktop before I tried to import it.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Yoga 2 Pro Won't Go To Sleep in Presentation Mode

If I put the Yoga 2 Pro to sleep in Presentation Mode the screen will go dark for a second but then immediately light back up to the lock screen. I haven't had any trouble getting it to sleep in other modes (laptop, tent, tablet). Have others had this problem? Is this a bug or a 'feature'?

You don't want your laptop to go into sleep while presenting, so probably it's a feature.
That you ain't moving the mouse, doesn't mean you ain't talking about what's on the screen.
I could understand that if it only were the case of when it automatically goes to sleep, but I'm talking about manually telling the PC to go to sleep: Charms > Settings > Power > Sleep. If I tell a computer to go to sleep, regardless of what 'mode' it's in, it should go to sleep and stay asleep.

Yoga 2 Pro Draining Battery Fast in Sleep Mode

I have a new Yoga 2 Pro with i7 processor. It works great and normal battery life is about 4-5 hours. But with a fully charged battery, i can close the lid at night triggering sleep mode, and wake up to an almost dead battery.
Why is this happening? It's really dissapointing and I'm going to return it if I can't find a fix. I'm on the latest BIOS with all current updates. I am not using Hibernate mode.
Closing the lid shoud not cause battery to continue to drain at normal usage rates.
I'm hoping it's the WINDOWS 8 software but I've tried all the settings I can find.

the OP said battery was draining overnight because y2p was not going into sleep mode. then op changed some settings and, as i understand it, now his y2p does not drain battery overnight because he pushes power button and it goes into hibernate mode before closing lid.
I would like to raise the issue of the difference between hibernate and sleep mode. I too find that if i put my y2p (and my mbp-bootcamp) into hibernate mode then my battery does not drain overnight. however, both my laptops drain the battery overnight in sleep mode... anyone have clear understanding of this? i've look at many articles on the web, but haven't found any that specifically indicate how fast sleep mode should drain batteries. I think my gf's mba-OSx also drains overnight in sleep mode and OSx doesn't even have a hibernate option (correct me if i'm wrong)...

Yoga 2 pro mode switching problem

there is problem on my yoga 2 pro. My yoga 2 pro should be in the laptop mode, but it changed to tablet mode suddenly and changed back to laptop mode after 5 seconds. This is not only the first time, it had happened about ten times since I bought it three month ago. so what's problem on my yoga 2 pro?

I realize that too today in the office. I changed to tablet then it change to tent then change back to tablet after 2 seconds. I am thinking there could be a "lag" for the laptop to detect the modes.
Just curious, were you in Laptop mode all the while the unintended change happen?

I have a Y2P (i5) ... Feel free to ping me if you want me to test some applications with your Y2P if you have the same model. I don't mind keep doing recovery on it if needed .... =)

Hi pcarq007
The Yoga 3 Pro has a "paper display" setting.It's meant to help you read stuff (reducing eye strain) giving the display a yellowish,book page like tint.
You can turn it on or off by pressing "Fn"+"Esc".
Let me know if this solves the issue.

Yoga 2 Pro - Frequent issues after Tablet Mode and Suspend in Windows 8.1

Hi,
I bought a Yoga 2 Pro running windows 8.1 in December 2013. The machine runs fine, but from the beginning I experience frequent system issues whenever I have the Yoga in Tablet mode (display turned to the back).
The issues sometimes arise directly after I resume from tablet mode. More frequent the issues appear once I had the machine in tablet mode and after had it in suspend mode!
Some of the frequent issues that arise after I resume from tablet mode:
Power surge at right USB Port, where I have my mouse connected! The connected device cannot be provided with enough power. (Note, the left port still works), or
WiFi not working any more (No WLAN device detected, WLAN not functional), or
Bluetooth not working (No Bluetooth device detected, BT not functional)
All issues reliably disappear with a system restart!
I have already updated my drivers, scanned the Lenovo and Microsoft forum whether this is known without success and hope this avenue will bring me more luck.
What makes the bug hard to narrow down is that I do not have a recipe to reproduce the error. Not every time I turn the display in tablet mode the symptoms are equal! But what I can is that the tablet mode is the most common denominator I found so far.
Any helped/suggestions much appreciated.
Regards
   Florian

Yea, great... it seems like these articles and suggestions come up in the forum, and then there is always someone that says "it didn't work but this solved it for me" which ammounts to setting the screen at full brightness all the time.   LENOVO, HOW ABOUT FIXING THE ISSUE!!! It definitly has something to do with power, in my case _the only_ thing that fixes it is either plugging in a power cord or closing the screen, reopening it and hitthing the power button to turn it back on (both are REALLY annoying if you're trying to get work done).
I'm a fairly experienced IT guy, and I used to swear by _IBM_ Thinkpads and related laptops, then when they went to Lenovo a few years ago it seems like the support has gone to hell and the hardware appears nice but is sketchy (this thing should have never shipped with this display problem or the wifi card issues that it shipped with).   Honestly if issues like this don't get resolved Im not likely to order any more, ever. Not for my self or for my organization, we will stop persueing contracts with you and certifying the hardware for our work (though with the lenovo purchase it was deemed that the hardware wasn't certifyable for certine applications anyway). Yes, that will cost you a few thousand sales a year, which is a drop in the bucket for you, but I'm sure I won't be the only one.
