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.

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: 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 Tent Mode/Mode Switch Issues

Hi, I can't get my lenovo yoga 2 pro to go into tent mode. In fact, the screen won't even do a full 180 degree flip, but it will do a 90 degree flip to vertical (so I know the screen flip is working to a degree). Further, when switching to tablet mode, it says that it is in stand mode. Any thoughts? Thanks,Spencer

i had this problem out of the box. The sensor which tells the Yoga which mode it is in and which way up was not working properly so that the screen was at 90 degrees to the right way up and it said tent when in tablet; laptop in tablet etc. Researched it and saw that someone had resolved it by installaing Windows updates - but couldnt get Windows Update to work - it either found no updates or failed on install. I found that I needed to install updated drivers from the Lenovo support site (not sure which one did it, but it included a BIOS update, display driver and others), which then allowed Windows update to work. Installed all outstanding updates and it now senses correctly.

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.

Dear NX3

Yoga 3 pro. Firewall issue

Hi,
I am not sure it is in the scope of this forum but hope I will still get some help.
About a week ago I contacted lenovo chat support re: some issue and they were able to fix it through making some changes to my pc via remote control. After that I started getting a pop up msg saying that my firewalls are disabled and pc is unprotected. When I try to enable it, nothing happens and I get this pop up again. When I go to Win firewall settings all the options are idle and again I can't do anything
I am on Win 10
Any suggestions how to fix it?
TIA!

Hi snickers, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
Like you I read the performance reviews, so I've been trying to stretch the Yoga 3 Pro. For video I've watched YouTube, Netflix, and VUDU maximised at full screen. I've watched full-length movies. I just watched a few Twitch.tv videos. I have yet to experience any poor performance. My browser is 32-bit Chrome. I'm on a 50-100Mbps Internet connection and either 802.11n or ac.
What are the symptoms you're seeing? When you say fps drop, what are you seeing exaclty? Are you using factory default drivers?
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

Yoga 2 Pro tablet performance is slow

I don't know why, but the performance for my new Yoga 2 Pro is extremely slow when in Tablet Mode. It runs perfectly when in laptop mode. The performance is also poor in Stand mode and Tent mode. Is there a way to fix this or is this how it is suppossed to be? Please hellp if you know of a way to fix this. Thank you!

Luffy,
While there could be other potential causes, I suspect you are seeing the effects of DPTF which reduces CPU and some other functions when in modes other than conventional laptop.
This has been discussed in multiple threads in the forum. Since it is part of the system design, I can't advise you to disable it, but it can be disabled to allowed higher CPU performance in other modes.
Here is a related thread on this from prior Yoga models.

Audio streaming from phone to yoga 2 pro via bluetooth issue

Hi everyone,
I have got a Yoga pro 2 recently and the problem I'm having is that I;m unable to stream audio from my Nexus 5 phone to the pc through bluetooth. The device and the pc paired normally during setup. Though I find it odd that when I turn off bluetooth connectivity on the phone and turn it back on, the pc does not automatically connect so I have to unpair or remove and redo a new find and pair for the two. Ok, now the problem is after the connection is set nothing happens and there is no way to stream the audio to the yoga pc running windows 8.1. On my other pc, a Sony Vaio, also running win 8.1 pro (upgraded from win 8 pro) , once the phone and the Sony are paired via bluetooth, a windows pops out to immediately play the audio. I have check all the bluetooth drivers and they are up to date, and I even downloaded bluetooth drivers from lenovo support but no change. What's missing? Why can I not stream audio via BT? Why nothing happens when connected?

Bluetooth tethering is sharing your phone's internet connection with the computer, that's why there is an extra charge. This is not what you want. I would go into the bluetooth settings of both your phone and computer to make sure you are not missing something. Also, an easier solution (bluetooth is unbearably slow for file transfer) may be to look into the app called AirDroid. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zYW5kLmFpcmRyb2lkIl0.

Yoga 2 Pro Resolution Scaling Issues

So I just picked this laptop up from Best Buy the other day and so far I am loving it. However that is not to say that it has been entirely without issues so far and I do apologize if this issue has been brought up before but I was unable to find a decent answer in my searches.
I have checked this on a few games but I will focus on one that I want to play the most but also seems to have the most issues.
So this laptop is just not powerful enough to run a lot of games at the full 3200x1800 resolution and I totally understand that and was not expecting to, however, when turning the resolution down, say to 1600x900 instead of scaling the resolution to fill the screen, it runs it as the actual pixels inside a black box. This has the effect of making the games just too tiny to see, not to mention half or more of the screen is just being wasted.
This seems to really only happen when running a game in Direct X 11 mode, DX9 seems to work fine, but causes other problems and is really not a great option. Alternately, some games, I can set the windows resolution down (which scales fine in windows) and then the game will run and scale. However, specificially with Civilization 5 (one of the games I was most excited to play) it still does not work properly. There is a work around, but it is less than ideal, and I am at a loss as to why I just cant run the game at a lower resolution and have it scale and fill the screen.
Any help or information would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

There is a setting, however, when at native resolution, instead of giving the option to scale to fit display, it just has another option that says maintain display scaling or something like that (I am not on the laptop right now, so I have to double check). As far as I can tell it just does not scale properly. When I change to a non-native resolution, the options change and it then says scale to fit screen, which is what i want.
However, I would rather not have to change to a non native resolution every time I want to run a game. And, specifically in the case of Civilization 5, it doesn't help. The only thing I have found so far that works at all is to change the resolution to 1920x1080, then set the ingame resolution to 1440x900. It is a pain, and ends up in a streched picture.
I tried to install the latest intel drivers from their website (not sure if it would have fixed the issue, since there was no changelog) but it gave me an error saying they were not verified for my device.
This is a rather frustrating issue, especially considering that every computer I have ever owned up until this point has been able to scale the image to fit the screen with no problems what so ever.

Premier Pro Blend mode issue

Hi.
I have previously used Screen blend mode to add a set of images on top of another set. The first set (rendered from 3DS Max) were the main image for my animation and the "superimposed" set were rendered from 3DS Max as VRay atmosphere render elements. Both images were rendered to a black background in Max. When I added the "superimposed" set I simply chose Screen blend mode for them and they were added, fine.
I am now trying to achieve something similar. This time the first set of images are rendered to a white background. The second set are rendered to VRay material select render elements (aI have tried both white and black background - same result). When I add the second set into a separate video slot on the timeline and use Screen blend mode, the result is a faded/patially transparent image overlayed where there are objects in the "background" image. Where there is a white background nothing of the top layer is visible.
I can see that this is somehow mixing the colours/light and producing pure white outside of the scene objects.
Q. How do I achieve the required mix of the two sets of images?
Many thanks,
Terry

Hi Mark.
What I have is an overlay image (or set of images) that has some scaffold on it. It has been rendered off from 3DS Max using a VRay material select render element so only the scaffold is visible but the remaining objects in the scene obscure the scaffold where applicable.
The scene image which scaffold will sit on top of has objects in around 3/4 of the scene with the white background showing to the side of these objects. The scaffold in the overlay images covers some of the scene objects and also some of the white background.
When I use a "Screen" Blend mode for the overlay images I get a pale partially transparent image of the scaffold where it sits above the scene objects and nothing at all where it sits above the white background.
The top image is the first frame showing scene objects. The second image is the scaffold overlay. The third image shows what happens when I use "Screen" Blend mode on the scaffold overlay in Premiere Pro. The scene object images are on Video 1 and the scaffold images are in Video 2.
The result I desire is the top image (scene objects) with the scaffold added on top.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Terry

Macbook Pro clamshell mode issues!

Hi All
I have a 15inch late 2011 i7 MBP running Lion, I'm using it like a mini desktop on a stand/closed &
hooked upto a DELL 2408WFP monitor.
Problem is, behaviour is eratic especially after waking from sleep. Desktop image will have reverted to plain grey, windows
will shift position etc etc & worst case it wont wake to the external moitor or just hang!
Anyone else having the same kind of problems or miracle cure ??????
After upgrading from an old G4 mirror door running Tiger which all ran super smooth, my experience with everything
new has been terrible! Lion seems more like a Skunk !!
Cheers
Saul

Anyway I don't see how this is relevant to my current predicament.
If you intend to use the MBP as a portable computer on occasion, running it on battery power when you do, you won't need to worry about your original strident objection to the AC power requirement for clamshell mode:
There is no denying that this will ruin the battery life on my MBP because it will remain plugged in 24x7.
Of course if the machine were to remain plugged in all the time, it wouldn't make the slightest difference to you if its battery was ruined. You'd never need the battery.
So use it in clamshell mode most of the time, and once a month, unplug it, run the battery down and recalibrate it. You will be within the letter of Apple's advice on managing the battery, and you'll have nothing to worry about. It's only if you can't manage this minimal inconvenience that you'll have to regret your decision to buy a MBP instead of a Mini.
An anti-sleep hack won't turn off the built-in display when it's closed, as clamshell mode does, and it may prevent the machine from going to sleep for its own protection if it ever overheats, which is more likely with the display closed than open.

Yoga 2 13 stuck in tablet mode

Hello,
I just received a new Yoga 2 13, 8Gb, 256Gb SSD. I have been using it exclusively as a laptop.
It worked just fine for a few days. I did notice once the screen flipped sideways and the keyboard turned off randomly but after turning the laptop on its side and back, everything went back to normal.
Today, after closing the lid and putting the machine to sleep, then waking it up, it awoke in tablet mode with the sideways screen and turned off keyboard. To do anything I have to use the on-screen keyboard, which does work.
Nothing I did could get it to go back to laptop mode, or for autorotate to ever work. Rebooted several times, no. The "Lenovo" signage does show correctly in landscape as soon as the machine turns on, but once it gets to the login window, it's back to sideways tablet mode.
The auto-rotate button (which I had never touched prior) doesn't appear to do anything. I click the button, it says "autorotate off" then I click it again to "autorotate on" and still no rotation.
I called Lenovo technical support, and he tried (after remote desktoping into my machine) to try a different display driver. The Windows "Basic" Driver, the Intel Driver from March 2014, and the latest Lenovo display drivers downloaded did nothing.
He turned off "ycp" or something similar as a startup service, no help.
In Screen Resolution, he changed the orientation of the display from portrait to landscape which did fix the orientation problem but did nothing about the keyboad. I assume this is a brute force solution which does not fix the underlying "endless tablet mode" issue.
Finally, he had me boot into the BIOS. Interestingly, the keyboard works just fine in the BIOS screen, and the orientation is the correct landscape. WHAT?!!
But bottom line, tech support failed to find a fix for the problem. Can I ask any of you for some additional ideas?
Thank you so much!

I got lucky after multiple times of trying. It is back on Sync'ing.

Yoga 2 Pro vs Thinkpad Tablet 2

Hi Lenovos,
I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro tablet which I got as a gift and I'm rarely using it coz of the size and Android. I'm Web a Developer so to do some on-the-go coding, I thought to exchange this with a portable windows tablet and I got some offers from Thinkpad Tablet owners. Neither Thinkpad Tablet nor Yoga Tablet 2 pro are selling in my region so I dont have the proper idea about the actual region based price.
Is it worth to exchange my Yoga Tablet 2 pro with a 64GB Thinkpad tablet? I know my one has a good display and additional features such as Projector, Subwoofer, stand etc.. but what is the point if I'm not using them. If you were me, would you consider exchange this?
Regards

How about the Yoga 2 10 with Windows? Same size , boasts the same processor and RAM as the Yoga Tablet Pro 2. It has 32 Gb of internal storage, but you can add a MicroSD card for an additional 64 Gb.
The Thinkpad 2 if I'm not mistaken has a 2 year older processor (Z2760) than the Yoga Tablet's Z3745. The Z3745 processor supports 64 bit OS's and features the SSE 4.1/ SSE4.2 instruction set.

On Screen Keyboard Glitch in Tablet Mode - On Screen Keyboard minimizes / disappears / slides down

Hi there -
New Yoga owner here ( just bought it yesterday) and within minutes of setting the computer up I noticed that the on screen keyboard was malfunctioning when the yoga is in tablet mode. Specifically, it pops up for about a second and then, without me touching or clicking or doing anything, it quickly slides back down. repeated attempts to bring up the keyboard end up, frustratingly, with the same result. what is perplexing to me is the on screen keyboard works fine in laptop mode (when I need it least).
Someone else already started a post on this BUT it was marked as 'solved' (which it wasn't) so I figured I'd start new thread. The solution on the previous thread was to simply 'refresh' windows to get rid of any new drivers that were downloaded since purchasing the yoga, but I did not download or update anything prior to this problem arising (as I said, the problem seemed to occur within a few minutes of turning the machine on for the first time). In any case, I tried the refresh and it did not work so clearly my problem is not that I downloaded an incompatible or faulty driver. Please Help! I love this machine and I'm trying to see past the other flaws I've noticed so far (subtle screen flickering, inconsistent touch sensitivity etc), but this issue is starting to really undermine my confidence in the product quality and, from a productivity standpoint, it is a real deal breaker to not have full tablet functionality.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had the same problem with the disappearing virtual keyboard within hours of starting to use my new Yoga 13. I read somewhere that it was a problem with an incompatible Synaptics driver, and when I looked in the control panel, it showed that the Synaptics driver had been updated on my Yoga as of the day I bought it. I think somehow by agreeing to automatic updates of the software, the Synaptics driver is updated to an incompatible version. So what I did was I removed the Synaptics driver, using the Windows program uninstaller tool, rebooted, and then found the Synaptics driver at the Lenovo site which is specifically labelled as the Yoga 13 driver. I installed that, and the keyboard is now working fine.

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.
