Yoga 2 Pro No Virtual Keyboard in Tablet Mode?

I can't find a way to get a virtual keyboard to come up when Yoga 2 Pro is in tablet mode...even when I click on a search box in my browser or any other text box nothing comes up. Is there a way to make a touch keyboard come up so you can still type?
Many thanks!

Yoga 2 11. Virtual keyboard in Tablet mode

Hi.
Yoga 2 11 and Windows 8.1 is entirley new to me, so please excuse my lack of knowledge.
When PC is asleep in tablet mode, I cannot get the virtual keyboard in order to log in. When I try to type, it pops up for a second or so (varies in time), but then shrinks back down.
Has anyone see this and is there any way I can sort it out without refreshing Windows? The amount of work to do in reloading programmes and apps is just too painful. If anyone can help I'd be very grateful.
Thanks
Rob

Hi Alaa
Many thanks.
No actually - I haven't set a restore point, or even thought of doing that. It was Lenovo support that suggested a Windows refresh but when I saw that I would have to re-load apps etc., I backed out. I've done too much for that.
Are you suggesting that if I set a restore point, then I would keep everything already installed?
I now notice that under some circumstances the virtual keyboard pops up. For example it came up when I experimented by trying to answer this in tablet mode. It didn't do it the first time but when I was folding back, it suddenly and randomly came up. Also I was able to search on Maps with a virtual keyboard. But no way will it let me log on.To begin with, (first time I try in a session), it seems to wait until it detects my hand over it, and then disappears into its shell!
Thanks

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 Pro: auto disabling keyboard in laptop mode bug

Hello.
I have a problem with my Yoga: very often (even if notebook placed on table) in laptop mode its disabling keyboard and touchpad on several seconds and then enabling it again. This enable/disble (flap) occurs time to time, most often after computer power on.
In this case work with mail or surfing web in laptop is not possible.
Someone have a hint how to repair it or how to enable keyboard manually permanently? Laptop is still on warranty, not broken, didn’t fall, win 8.1.
If need i can record some video on mobile phone with keyboard on/off.

Yoga 2 Pro: Enable keyboard in tablet mode

Hi everyone. I'm very new here. I just got my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro i7 8GB last month. And I'm wondering if it's possible for the keyboard to be enabled while in tablet mode. Since I wanna make it as my external keyboard and I'm gonna use an external monitor for bigger screen through MicroHDMI-HDMI connection. Please let me know how to do it. I hope someone can help me here. Thank you

Thank You Indest! I can't help you as I am a linux user.
I've installed Gnome Ubuntu 14.04 on my Y2P and I'm facing the same issue as windows users.
Keyboard is disabled in tablet mode for me too. That's why I've been thinking that is because of an hardware configuration rather than software.
Anyway, if there is any window user willing to help, that would be great.
Much better if Lenovo FINALLY ANSWERS this question!!! Boy, that's not a customer oriented approach. Rewrite your corporate brochures and take out that you care about customers. Lol

Yoga 2 Pro -- how to turn off switching mode notifications -- e.g. "tent mode", "tablet mode", etc?

Does anyone know how to turn off the notifications that pop up in the upper right corner telling you that you have just changed from one configuration to another -- e.g. changing from tent mode to tablet mode?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just disable it -
Task manager > Startup > Click "Yoga Picks" > Click "disable"
Next time you start your computer no more annoying pop ups. If you want to be annoyed again you can always re-enable it.

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 13" - Touch Pad not disabled in tablet mode/F6 No longer works.

I have updated all of my drivers from the Lenovo Yoga 13" site. I read on here to pay special attention to the Synaptics driver, mine is 16.2.21.4 from Synaptics. When I flip in to tablet mode my mouse moves around when I touch it. Also the F6's "disable touchpad" doesnt work.
Its really annoying to not be able to use it as intended. Anyone have a fix for this?

hi OmegaNine,
Sorry to hear what happened,
1. Can we Try this,
Go to Control Panel / Programs and features/ uninstall a program
    Look for the Synaptics Software, Uninstall it there.
2. Go to Device Manager and look under "mice and game controllers" and make sure it does not say Synaptics there.
              If it Does Uninstall it as well and put a check on the box if it asked "delete driver software"
If the system did not asked you for a restart, Restart the system Manually.
Open Device Manager again and open the category Sensor
like on this photo
     http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/wiisensor/wiisensor11.png
Uninstall everything under Sensors but DO NOT put a check on the delete driver Software.
Restart
Download and install this driver
       Synaptics TouchPad Driver for 64-bit Windows
Restart after installation and Check if You still have the Issue.
Hope this helps
Cheers!!

Yoga 2 Pro - Videos being sticky in tablet, stand and tent mode.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and please direct me to a similar thread) but I can't find anything online relating to my paticular problem.
The issue is that when I use any other mode expect laptop, I simply cannot watch videos as they constantly stop and start and are just overall very sticky. At first I thought it might just be the dvd I was watching, but I've now tested it on several websites like amazon and youtube, different CD's etc.. (even games, where I get fps drops, less of an issue though).
I was wondering if anyone has experienced a similar problem and knows how I might go about solving this issue.
Let me know if I need to post any specifics.
Thanks

Good day and welcome to the community.
There are number of threads that discuss Intel's Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework (DPTF) and how it may affect the different modes.
Here is the largest of the threads: forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tablets-and/Hey-Lenovo-what-s-up-with-DPTF-amp-Yoga-machines... which you may wish to browse through. There are several other threads that you'll find using "DPTF".
Once you've decided which of these threads to participate in, we can merge your post into it.
Hope this helps you a bit.

Yoga 2 Pro - Keyboard Not Working

My issue is that the keyboard of my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro disables itself intermittently in Laptop Mode. I purchased this laptop (i7 cpu, 256GB SSD, 8GB memory) from BB a week ago and get it replaced twice (3 different units) and all had the same issue. Case of the first one I purchased was also cracked on the rear side. I powered the laptop to test it before I return it. Then I realized this keyboard issue. I was using it in laptop mode and keyboard backlight was going off by itself. First I thought it was just the backlight but keys were not functioning as well. Touchpad and Touchscreen were still functional. Time to time keyboard came back to life by itself and sometimes I needed to restart couple of times to get it work.
Next day I went to another BB store to get it replaced (the one I burchased was the last unit in other store). So I also got the last unit in this other BB store and went to school. After my classes I realised this one had the same keyboard issue. I checked if I had latest BIOS, drivers and software and updated everything. But there was no solution. I called lenovo tech support and the guy on the phone told me that it seems like a hardware issue and suggested me to get it replaced again via BB. I didn't think that it was a hardware issue. It seemed to me like the sensors drivers or firmware were thinking that I put the yoga in tablet mode and was disableing keyboard even in laptop mode. I tried uninstalling yoga software , disabling services such as YMC and intel thermal and power management from bios etc. etc. These things seemed to lower the number of issues but still keyboard was disableing itself time to time.
I went BB again to get another one. But of course I had to find another store that have the exact same model (and of course they had only one unit). I went and get that one. Guess what? It is same. I tried everythin. Installed my own copy of Windows 8.1 Pro and didn't install any lenovo software etc. Didnt work. I recovered to factory OS still same. I called lenovo tech support again to find some help. Only thing they could recommend me was to send the laptop for repair but I can not simply live without computer (I am computer science PhD. student need it access to a computer all the time).
I like the laptop so much and honestly I couldn't find another brand model with very high resolution screen i7 processor at least 8gb memory and 256GB ssd etc at this priice range. So I want to be able to use it. But every other minute or hour the keyboard disables itself. With the latest unit I got moving the lid (pushing and pulling screen back and forth) seems to help sometimes. Also tilting the laptop some times works.
Is there anyone else having this kind of issues? And more importantly is there anyone who managed to solve it?
I do not want to talk to tech support again. If possible I want to get in touch with some people from Lenovo software and drivers team so that I can help them diagnose the issue and test beta software firmware they might have.
PS: Why no bios/driver update for last couple of months?

As stupid as it sounds, try folding the laptop fully into tablet mode, then fold it back to regular mode. This has been working for one of my clients.
NOT a driver issue - definitely a physical issue. Hopefully the folding back/forth continues to work.
(and since I'm a support resource, this kind of stuff makes me look bad when I recommend it to a client: "Yes, it is possibly the coolest laptop available on the market, but you just have to deal with a few issues like keyboard randomly stopping working and the wireless driver load intermittently not working after waking the laptop up. Other than those two minor issues, it's a great laptop!!"

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 .... =)

Droid 4 virtual keyboard

Having some irritations while texting or typing in general using the droid 4 virtual keyboard in portrait mode. I press a letter, it displays the "correct" letter, but soon as I lift my finger, it will drop in a different letter either neighboring letter or as far as 5 keys away. Tech support only suggests a factory default reset, helps for a limited time and I don't like having to restart or FDR the device daily. I'm not outside of the replacement 1 year window (even though this is about the 4th droid4 for speaker issues).
What can I do? Its frustrating seeing my finger touch a letter, say letter "T", the phone shows its going to enter "T" then I get something like "Y, H, U, R, G" etc once I lift my finger off. Please advise !https://community.verizonwireless.com/images/emoticons/sad.gif|___jive_emoticon_name=sad|jivemacro=emoticon|class=jive_macro jive_emote|src=https://community.verizonwireless.com/images/emoticons/sad.gif!
Noticed while sitting with a text message open to reply, the phone was dropping in letters randomly on its own. I was not touching the display of the device, it continued this for over a minute until I pressed back to drop out the keyboard, when I did this, the keyboard reopened itself and began texting again, it had dropped in about 20 random letters.

Has it worked before and just now stopped? Are you using the standard keyboard, Swype, or some other add on keyboard? Even tapping in the field you need to type into doesn't bring it up?
Try a system cache clear and see if that makes it work any better... it won't erase any of your data or settings but may make things run a bit more smoothly.
Power down phone
Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously until you see the Boot Mode Selection Menu
Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
Should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
Press volume up/down simultaneously to go into system recovery
Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select

Yoga 3 Pro - Certain Keys Missing from Keyboard. How to virtually use them?

Hi.
I have bought this for about a week and was not happy about the combination of "Home" and "End" keys since I use them a lot. In using VMWare I noticed there is no "Insert" key on the keyboard at all, thus I cannot use the Ctrl+Alt+Insert functionality in my virtual machines. Today, a random combination of keys was pressed on the keyboard and the "Scroll Lock" was enabled, and guess what: There is no scroll lock in the Yoga 3 Pro! Now I have no idea how to disable this again and non of the forums or manuals have addressed this.
(Lenovo design team has made is specifically hard for users. Not only the keyboard layout and certain keys are removed, but even I cannot find a spare chargin cable for my officec. They have changed everything - even Yoga 2 Pro charging cable is not compatible - and yet not available in the market. Not a very smart strategy )
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Welcome to the forum!
I'm sorry to hear about your problem. I had to really take a look at my own Y3P to realize there is no Insert key, I guess I got too used to the touchscreen
To get rid of the Scroll Lock you can press the combination Fn+C.
Alternatively you can also go to the Control Panel, then "Easy of Access Center" and start the On-Screen Keyboard, you can disable the Scroll lock from there too.

Why doesn't the virtual keyboard work with firefox on my dell venue 8 pro windows 8.1 tablet?

When I try to enter text in any text-entry box, i.e, in the url , search, or on a website, the virtual keyboard doesn't activate. I have to manually activate and deactivate it. It works for Google Chrome, but sadly not for firefox, my preferred browser. The tablet is up-to-date with the latest drivers and updates.

Thanks for the reply. No, it's the virtual keyboard that is integrated into window 8.1. I haven't installed any 3rd party keyboards
