Yoga 2 Pro: Tablet mode enabled by closing the laptop and crashing minimized store apps

Since clean installing Windows 10 on my Yoga 2 Pro I'm experiencing Store apps to become a complete white useless windows after waking up the device from standby. Further investigation brought up the following perceptions:
1) This only happens with Store apps minimized to the taskbar before getting the device into standby; Win32 apps are not affected
2) This only happens if the standby is initialized by closing the laptop and NOT manually through the start menu 3) The Problem also only occurs if the machine is set up to be locked automatically after waking up (default setting in Windows 10 is not to be locked btw.)
The second one got me wondered. After some puzzling around I remembered that I - as a Windows Insider - some time ago observed that the tablet mode in Windows 10 is initialized even if the screen is almost closed. Back then I tested this also on my installation of Windows 8.1 and came to the conclusion that even there the keyboard and touchpad get disabled by nearly closing the laptop. Back then there was no tablet mode so that it was not noticeable at first sight but could be tested by using the touchpad and keyboard with the screen close to the keyboard.
So ymc.exe as part of Lenovo Transition 2.0 seems not able to detect in which direction the screen is rotated. There seems to be some angle at which the mechanism is initialized regardless whether the screen is rotated AROUND the machine for using the tent or tablet mode OR rotated CLOSE to the keyboard. This seems by design.
Problem with this for Windows 10 is: It's getting Store apps crashed that are minimized to the taskbar if the option to always switch to tablet mode automatically is ticked on and the machine is locked after waking up from standby because the machine changes into tablet mode before sleeping down and changes back to desktop mode if waking up. It seems like minimized Store apps don't support this kind of behavior and are getting totally blank and unusable.
I clean installed Windows 10 from scratch and everything is set up the right way. I have an secondary Installation of Windows 10 for testing purposes (Insider Preview) on a secondary partition of this machine that is set up with the same Windows 10 release build and am able to reproduce this behavior there, too.
Workaround for now is to disable the option to change the mode automatically or to lower security by setting up the machine not to be locked after waking up from standby. Even with the latter this behavior of the device is at least unattractive as Windows and/or the start menu get resized all of a sudden after waking up the device.
Is it technically possible for a newer version of Lenovo Transition to be able to invoke the tablet mode only if the screen is rotated around the device and not by closing the laptop to prevent minimized Store apps from getting blank and unusable?-----Post edited to add the Point 3.

Go to Control Panel >> Device Manager
There is Sensor devices tab there.
Can you post a screenshot of how that is looking?
One thing that you can try.
Switch off your laptop.
Disconnect power supply
Press power button for 30 seconds.
Then turn on and test.

Yoga 2 Pro tablet mode issue in Win 10

I updated my Yoga 2 Pro to Windows 10. It is working fine in Desktop mode. However in table mode when it is flipped over to tablet or tent positions the performance is very pure (slow and intermittent, broken) . Once the screen is back to the laptop position the performance is as expected.Can someone please advice how this can be fixed ? thnaks in advance.

Hi rys,This is what I have so far.A) You are not alone. I and many other have reported this problem in other threads. In all other modes than laptop mode the CPU slows down making the PC unusable in tablet or tent mode. I just recently bought the yoga 2 pro for it's tent mode so this is very frustrating.B) Problem seems to be the DPTF driver. It's job is to detect when you are in tablet or tent mode and reduce the CPU speed (a bit) to prevent over-heating. The problem is it is too aggresive slowing my CPU to .75ghz.C) One obvious solution is to disable DPTF via BIOS. Those who did report succes. There PCs are now fast in all modes. I'm hesitating ... Don't want to disable but might have to ... The effects of disabling DPTF as I understand them are: PC gets hot, shorter battery life.D) The correct solution would be a new DPTF driver for windows 10 making the CPU runs at least at 1ghz. Hoping LENOVO realizes how many YOGA 2 Pro they sold with the "feature" of being able to switch from laptop to tablet to tent modes. Hoping LENOVO comes up with a solution.

My 2014 Macbook Pro's charger is not secure. It flicked out while closing the laptop and cracked the screen, is this something apple will repair as its the chargers fault?

I have a 2014 15" Retina display Macbook Pro.
Moving on from my 13" 2012 Macbook Pro the charger on the 2014 model isn't as good and keeps flicking out, and not staying in place.
Unfortunately it flicked out on its own at the wrong point, when I was closing the screen. This resulted in the screen cracking!! Because this is a fault with the Macbook's charger that has cracked my screen, will apple cover it and replace my screen?
If not does anyone know how much screen replacements cost at apple?
I have applecare but screen damage does not cover it.
Thanks guys!

There's no one from Apple here, so we can't advise you on what it would cost to replace the screen. You should just take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP (making an appointment first) and get and estimate for replacement.
I doubt that Apple will fix the screen gratis - they will likely pin it down to a user accident. If you can actually demonstrate that it's the fault of the adapter, you may get a break.
Good luck,

Yoga 2 Pro - Sleep mode issue

Hi All,
I've been experience troubles with issues ralated to sleeping.
Sometimes it just sleeps well.
Sometimes my Y2P sometimes won't go sleep(insomnia???). The screen goes off but the fan doesn't stop and the keyboard backlit doesn't go off. And whatever I do won't wake it up in this circumstance, for example hitting a key on the keyboard, hitting the power button, or touch the screen. I have to restart to enter the OS. (FYI VirtualBox may cause this problem but I was not running it. I don't even have it installed.)
And sometimes it does go sleeping and can be waken up, but during the sleep the fan doesn't stop and the machine becomes very hot. This seems to happen only under the power manager high performance mode but I'm not sure. Twice I just closed my laptop and went to bed. and left the poor Y2P baking-hot overnight. As a result, the battery capacity estimate in the power manager is now 'Normal'. I believe it was 'Excellent' or 'Good' when I first received it. (FYI the capacity is now 54760mWh.)
I really love this machine. Yellow issue is not a killer but the sleep problem does troubles me a lot. I'm not able to return it because I just passed the 15-day return period. Any suggestion to solve those problem, folks?

I have observed two related issues on my Yoga 2 Pro. In agreement with a later poster to this thread, it will occasionally shut down (or crash?) rather than sleep. This happens occasionally when I have a dozen apps up in a configuration that I'd really like to go back to rather than have to set up again. I'm guessing this issue, shutting down improperly, could be a problem getting an app or service to sleep properly, giving up, and dying. One of the reasons I upgraded to the Yoga 2 Pro is that my old Sony Vaio did this same thing and I assumed a new machine would have the quirks worked out. Perhaps it's a Windows problem, but still should be addressed.
I have also found several times that I will take my Yoga 2 Pro out of my bag after hours of sitting and the two lights indicating that it is running will be lit solid with the laptop hot to the touch. I have no idea why a machine would turn itself on with the lid closed, even if the power button is bumped (which is very unlikely with its small size in a padded bag). I'd love for anyone at Lenovo to address whether this issue is known, common, being looked at? It's terribly frustrating to "start" with the battery half depleted because it's been busy generating heat in a confined place.

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.

How can i get my laptop screen to display on a second monitor after closing the laptop

I have a 13" MacPro, love it, but its display is a little small for how far away i sit at my desk. I have a second 21" monitor that i would like to use for this purpose, but whenever i close the laptop screen it shuts down the signal for the second screen as well. Is there a setting that i am missing to be able to close the laptop and still use my monitor?

Hi AmandaBenton,
The article below will explain how to use an external display with your Macbook Pro.
The "Mirror Displays" option will show whatever you are seeing on your Macbook Pro on your TV screen.
How to use multiple displays with your Mac
Video mirroring
Mirroring displays the same image on each display.
Make sure your additional display is properly connected and powered on.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Displays.
Click the Arrangement tab.
Enable (check) "Mirror Displays" in the bottom-left corner.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

I have customized my Firefox toolbar. After closing the browser and then reopening it, the toolbar has returned to the way it was before I customized it. How do I get my customization of the toolbar to become permanent?

I have customized my Firefox toolbar several times. After closing the browser and then reopening it, the toolbar has returned to the way it was before I customized it each time. How do I get my customization of the toolbar to become permanent?
It has occurred with Firefox 4.0.1 and 5.0

see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
Take a picture of your toolbars so you can easily reconstruct them from the default after solving the the problem.
If it happens to you it will probably happen again in the future so you might want to keep some copies of your modified localstore.rdf file so you can delete the bad one and rename one of the replacements in waiting. Saving, copying and renaming must be done with Firefox down, of course.

My problem started when system preferences was unresponsive and would not force quit. I tryed to restart and got the grey screen, but it never restarted. I closed the lid and now the screen is blank. Has anyone had a similar problem after Lion?

No, as I have yet to be convinced on Lion.

Have you tried booting from the Recovery HD to reinstall Lion?
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
You will need the Apple ID and password used to purchase Lion. If you have not purchased Lion, then you will need to purchase the Snow Leopard DVD and install Snow Leopard then update it to 10.6.8 to access the App Store where you can purchase and download Lion under your own Apple ID. Or you can purchase the Apple USB Lion installer flash drive at any local Apple retailer or the Online Store.
