Yoga 2 Pro: deactivating pad in yoga modes, soft keyboard in non-microsoft sw, scaling Windows?

I installed Windows 8.1 pro due to the need of domain, I also downloaded and installed all Lenovo software as well as drivers. I am also using Classic Shell to get a "normal" start menu.
Issue 1: Keyboard disables when not in laptop mode, touchpad is allways enabled. How do I disable touchpad in tent, stand tablet mode?
Issue 2: Soft keyboard shows up in Microsoft software, however it does not show up when typing in other software, Firefox, Lightroom etc. Is there a way to make this work?
Issue 3: In full resolution Windows scale bad, as several computers now delivers with this high resolution and 4K monitors will be more common, is there a fix from Microsoft to get normal scaling? Ie. menues are very small making it hard to hit the correct button on touchscreen.

I, too, have the soft keyboard issue. If I'm already editing some text and switch modes, the keyboard shows. If I move to tent/tablet mode and try to edit - no keyboard!!! The is an On-Screen Keyboard app but it fills the entire screen. Useless. Surely there is an answer to this problem?

Trouble with Adobe Reader Touch on Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 in tablet mode. Pdf shows up as blank pages.

I have a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 and when I change it to tablet mode and use the Adobe Reader Touch app, my pdf shows up as a blank page. I have installed other pdfs in the past and those show up fine. However, as of three days ago, whatever pdf I install shows up as blank on my screen. Is there a solution to fix this?

Could you please share your test file?

Yoga Pro 3 Touch Pad Not Working With Win10

This has been hinted around in several other YOGA Pro 3 WIN 10 upgrades but we probably need to start splitting out each particular issue. My upgraded to Win10 with no issues on the upgrade itself. I performed the upgrade with a mouse attached and now I no longer an switch back to using the touch pad. Another way to say it is that my Fn + Delete button no longer works. I checked Synaptics for a driver but they don't list one for Win10. Any one know a work around to get the touch pad working again or a suggestion to fix? Thanks

I'm in the same boat - no touchpad after upgrade. I am sure we are the first of thousands to experience this issue.

Ready to install fresh win 8.1 on new Yoga Pro 2

So, I just got my yoga pro 2 Friday. Can't stand the extra stuff and 7 particians.
I've got a usb stick with a copy of win 8.1 on it. I can boot to it and get the windows installer started ( I stopped at the partiican table)
I got the drivers folder from the D: on the yoga backed up.
Got my win 8.1 pro product key written down.
Don't think I will need any of the lenovo apps.
Nothing else I need, right? I did actually make a system image of the fresh install on another external drive when I got it, so if i did need to go back, I can.
The windows installer will take care of all partiicans, correct? I'm new to EUFI boot. I can see that legacy mode is disabled in the bios now.
Thanks for any help. Looking forward to a clean install. Wish I could have gotten this from a MIcrosoft store instead so I don't have to deal with it.

Yoga Pro 2 - Display not recognized in windows (Driver or Hardware issue?)

Out of warranty by a month!
Yoga Pro 2 - 256gb, installed new wireless card a month ago. Windows 8.1
The touchscreen still works while the screen is black.
System restarted after sleep mode I think.
The Lenovo logo is displayed, seems to load windows, but when windows loads (I don't see it load so this is an assumption) the screen blanks and the black light is on.
I can connect an external monintor which will connect after a return from sleep mode(odd). Which then turns the backlight off.
When on the external monitor the internal display is not even recognized by windows.
When I boot in safe mode, the internal screen works fine with of course limited capability.
I have reloaded display drivers from the support site.
Right now my internal monitor is not recognized by windows and is dark, and I can use an external monitor.
Anyone have any clues as to what my be going on? Hardware, driver etc???
What information can I provide?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is a pretty weird issue with conflicting observations.
1) Screen works in Safe Mode but not in regular boot. (So, not hardware issue)
2) Display works on external monitor in regular mode. (So, not drivers issue)
Did you install the wireless card yourself? Did you unplug the display cable while installing the card?
Could you re-open and check that all connections are good?
Is the Wi-Fi card working well?
I would also recommend a complete reset of the laptop to eliminate the possibility that this is a corrupt driver. You can use the NOVO button to reset your laptop. Make sure to make a backup on external drive for your personal files.

Yoga Pro 2 on External Monitor...but low resolution

Although my Yoga Pro 2 connects properly to my Viewsonic monitor (thank you, Monoprice, for the micro-HDMI adapter and the HDMI to DVI cable), the best resolution I can get is 1440x900 (the native resolution of the last computer connected) which makes everything look GIGANTIC on the monitor and doesn't show the detail of the 3200X1800 Yoga Pro screen.
Intel drivers are updated, Viewsonic monitor drivers for win8/x64 all set. Viewsonic says it a Lenovo issue...Lenovo so far can't help me. I have tried changing view/zoom in every software program and app, but that's not the solution I want. Even 1900X ???? would be better.

PATIENCE...
First, it is most likely the microHDMI fitting inside the yogapro. It is very deep. When you put a micro HDMI adapter in to connect it to whatever it needs to connect to to ultimately reach your monitor, it must be firmly seated.And it feeels like it is..but probably not.
Monoprice.com offers 2 microHDMI adapters: part 7703 and part 7603. Either one should work...but you may need to take an emery board or nail file to the plastic housing around the actual part that goes into your machine. That's because you need a long reach to the actual socket inside the YP2. From there I use the monoprice HDMI-DVI cable to attach to my monitor (LG, but not important. Only important thing is that the ratio of width/height is 1.7778, or 1920x1080 etc)
Make sure the monitor is turned on....and start JIGGLING. Be 100% sure that the YP2 is sitting on a very hard surface, granite, corian, etc...and that the machine doesn't get moved around at all. Do not put it on a cooling pad, or a place mat or anything squooshy like that. Keep a bunch on small thin things around as you jiggle...because at some point you are going to succeed and you must not jar anything as you put the need supports to maintain that crucial angle VERY CAREFULLY in place. It is tedious...but the result is worth it. And then deciding on your personalization will keep you busy.
As much as I like the YP2 as a computer...I have never used it as a tablet (iPhone/Kindle user) and probably never will because the task of getting the Micro HDMI adapter seated properly is something that is hateful enough that I don't want to move the machine once it is working with the external monitor. Furthermore, the personalization setting are different for me with/without external monitor and not worth the hassle.

New user of Yoga pro 3 : trackpad gestures and win 10

Dear all, I just got my Yoga pro 3 and coming from a Mac, I am a bit lost (I use Win 7 at work). One thing that I miss the most is the track pad, although the Yoga's seems to be quite good. However, I thought there would be 2-3 finger gestures, and apart from 2-fingers scroll, which is fine, I haven't found anything. Do I need to install something? The thing I really need is a 2-finger Right click, as in a Mac (I am so used to it!)...the rest I can live without.
FInally, I was thinking about upgrading to Win 10: do you recommend it? Is it worth it? Also, how to do it? I thought I would get a "Get Windows 10" icon (my wife does in her 4 years old laptop) but I do not.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks ! Indeed it works but I must press really hard! I was more thinking of something like the 1-finger press but I guess I wil make do with it...

Yoga Pro 2 questions

So I'm really interested in a Yoga Pro 2 (especially with the sale on at BB this week)...however, I have a couple questions about it:
1) I already know about the yellow problem - hoping it's resolved soon but its keeping me on the fence about this one vs. a Sony
2) The resolution has forced some apps to have extremely small text...from what I read it's mainly in "Desktop" mode. Can someone confirm this ? I haven't had much chance to use Windows 8 yet so haven't seen Desktop vs. Start mode compared. In what instances would Desktop be used ?
3) I'm still not sure about the exposed keys - from what I read Lenovo has some sort of case or protective cover for the keys ? Can someone send me a link ? How well does it work ?
Thanks!

1. can mostly be worked around with the Energy Manager software. Even with that, the yellow is not perfect, but the issue has been massively overblown in my opinion. You'll have to see it for yourself and decide. It's a non-issue for me, personally.
2. Yeah, they high res does reult in small fonts in some legacy apps. Probably poorly written ones for the most part. But it's a small minority of apps. I haven't run into any major problems, but where this happens, the touch screen is useless with those apps. you really need a mouse. I expect this will become less and less a problem as more high dpi laptops become mainstream and apps take this into account.
3. The case is here: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?...
I just received mine this morning. It's decent. Snugly fits the whole machine as a carrying case, or slips more loosely over the keyboard section when you're using it in the non-laptop modes. Haven't had a chance to use it much but it seems like it will be fine. There are cutouts for most of the ports, so things are mainly still accessible with the case on.

Yoga Pro 3 - Wifi dropped connections; refuses to reconnect

First day of owning my Yoga Pro 3. Has anyone experienced intermittent wifi failures?
I've had trouble on both access points that I have at home. One is an older 802.11b router (set to channel 1), and other a D-Link815 dual-band bgn router (with the 2.4Ghz radio set to channel 11).
I've experienced problems using both routers on either channel and when using the 5Ghz spectrum as well.
Connectivity with either access point lasts from 5 mins to 30+ mins (in limited time I had available to use it so far).
Far more frustrating is that when dropped, the YP3 refuses to reconnect. Manually selecting the access point in the network connections charm and clicking "Connect" results in failed attempts at connecting and system will refuse to connect to any Access Point for a random amount of time. At one point I had attempted to reconnect about 20+ times before it did reconnect.
Obviously, tried rebooting without any change in behavior.
I uninstalled the Broadcom wireless driver (the system the auto-installed a Microsoft driver which, from the version number, appeared to be an older version of the same Broadcom driver as they used a very similar numbering scheme and were very close). No change. I reverted that change.
Are there known issues with these wifi cards/drivers accessing open wifi connections? I live in the middle of no-where, so have had no compelling reason to secure the access points.
What else should I try?
Thanks

My WiFi connects fine @ 2.4 GHz only Access Point (netgear wnr2000 v2) 4 rooms away (~ 35 feet and my Linksys router is on the same room as me so I get 866.5 Mbps all the time), giving me fluctuating connection speed from 243 to 300 Mbps. I generally don't use the 2.4 GHz band but I occasionally try it to check for stability. It's working fine but there's too much 2.4 GHz clients in our area so I use 5 GHz for Netflix, Hulu steaming where low latency stability is needed.
Definitely try reseating the antenna so you can rule that out. If you still can't connect @ 2.4 GHz, try other 2.4 Ghz access points or it's just that you get a defectve Broadcom 4352 card or it might be even Windows 8.1 drivers itself.

Can't download files on Yoga Pro 2

I've had my Yoga Pro 2 for a couple weeks. It's been downloading fine until today when I was trying to download (using Firefox 31.0) an installer, I got an error that said the "*.msi.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read." This also happened when I tried to download (same browser) an mp3 file I had stored on my Box.com account. I have been adjusting/disabling/uninstalling a lot of stuff. I don't know if I did something that made this happen or if it's something in the browser. I don't think it's the browser, however, because I unsuccessfully tried the same process with IE, also. Any idea what's causing this?

Windows sensor button on monitor stopped working - Yoga Pro 2

I have had my Yoga Pro 2 all of 3 days, and today the sensor button located on the monitor that brings you to the windows start screen has stopped working. When I purchased the laptop, the sensor worked fine - it vibrated when touched and brought me to the start screen. Now, nothing happens. I have installed the 2 updates I was prompted to install, could this be the issue? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Dear Dettraka
Welcome in lenovo community
Have you tried to reset the machine to the factory setting ?
Thanks

Any fix for USB 3 port disconnects with Plugable GigE adapter on Yoga Pro 2

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a fix intended from lenovo on this?
Very pleased overall with my Yoga Pro 2, however one issue is that I sometimes need to use a GigE adapter and the Plugable USB3-E1000 I bought will disconnect periodically - mainly an issue when using the link heavily.
It is acknowledged by plugable to be an issue:
http://plugable.com/products/usb3-e1000 "There is known conflict with the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro’s USB 3.0 port and the USB3-E1000. Symptoms include sudden loss of connectivity and failing of transferring files across a network. The current workaround is to use the USB 2.0 port. We are working with ASIX and Lenovo to resolve this known bug."
It transmits at about 1.5MB/sec on USB2 and 15MB/sec on USB3 so a clear preference to use USB3!
Thanks
Stuart
PS RUnning windows 8. fully patched, have updated BIOS from 1.15 to 1.16

If used an external USB Wifi adapter that worked fine (Asus).
This Linksys should also work in the Yoga.

Yoga Pro 2 Can't Connect to Windows Store

I have a 3 day old Yoga Pro 2 with Windows 8.1. I love it... But it won't connect to the Windows Store (just says there's no internet connection). I Googled this and found lots of advice on the Microsoft Forum as many people have had issues connecting to the store. ... Check anti virus, clear store cache, run a trouble shooter, check user settings etc none of which have worked. I put a post on the Microsoft Forum and but because it's a new machine users there say it's a Lenovo problem?
Please help because there's no point in the Start page without apps and I may as well swop it for an Apple.

Hi,
Firstly, try to use WSRESET command to clear Store cache for test.
In addition, Use APP trouble shooter to fix it.
