Yoga 8 and 10 Tablets - KitKat 4.4.2 - Wifi Connection and Notification

After upgrading to KitKat 4.4.2, some customers report that sometimes after device awakes from sleep, the Wifi connection does not resume on their Yoga 8 or 10 tablets (B6000-F/H or B8000-F/H). Also, Notifications may not show the name of the connection.
Please note that Lenovo has escalated internally on this issue. I was personally able to reproduce the Wifi Notification not showing the name of the wifi connection.

I can say that the wifi had not yet been fixed. My tablet was created after the dates listed for you reported updates. Mine was delivered in the first week of April 2015, and still had hasn't ups after sleep and wifi problems where it randomly drops the connection. Can't tell when the connection has been dropped since the tablet still shows that it's connected.
Please see the link below for some of us that have come together with the same problems. We all can't have crappy Internet (especially sebum we have other devices connected that are solid) . You've responded to one person in the link, the originator, but it would be nice to see some response to the remainder of the thread. Everyone is getting to where they want to return their tablets and I'm sure you don't want to lose the money and reputation.

Yoga 8 and 10 Tablets - KitKat 4.4.2 - Auto-Rotation

After upgrading to KitKat 4.4.2, some customers report auto-rotation does not always occur while changing modes on their Yoga 10 tablet (B8000-F/H). Reports include the Lenovo Launcher home page, Facebook, and SolMail. Hard resets do not resolve the issue.
Please note that Lenovo has escalated internally on this issue. I was able to reproduce these reports on a KitKat 4.4.2 V24 build. I noticed slow auto-rotate and I quickly developed a habit of automatically "shaking" the device one time when changing the mode to force the auto-rotation.

Note: This has only been reported by Yoga 10 Tablet users. If this is occuring on your Yoga 8 Tablet, please let me know so I can escalate it for the Yoga 8.

Yoga 8 and 10 Tablets - KitKat 4.4.2 - Charging Time

After upgrading to KitKat 4.4.2, some customers report their Yoga 8 or 10 tablets (B6000-F/H or B8000-F/H) may take longer to charge while OFF, than it does while ON. Some users report double the time to charge when device is on.
10/15 EDIT: Adding in the LED light not turning off when tablet is fully charged as it may be related. Also adding in hot battery physically warm to touch.

Since there are also reports of charging time and LED issues, I am going to add them to this thread.
Please post in here if your LED is not switching off after it has charged fully while the machine is off.

Hello Amy,
I did try to do the upgrade from v20 to v24 following all the steps that you mention (going to Settings - About Tablet - System Updates) several times without success. Each time I tried the system answer to me that it is on the latest version and this is not true because I have the first one 4.4.2 June version (A442_001_020_140620_WW_WIFI ).
What more I can do...?
Thanks and regards.

Yoga 8 and 10 - KitKat 4.4.2 - Lock Screen Display

After upgrading to KitKat 4.4.2, some customers report the lock screen on their Yoga 8 or 10 tablets (B6000-F/H or B8000-F/H) does not display the application currently running when it is tapped to unlock. This is noticable when music is being played and the cover art does not show on the lock screen.

KitKat OTA V28 was released on January 26th. It should resolve this issue.
If you are not currently running this update, you can download it by going to Setting - About tablet - System upgrade. Your device will then check to see what updates are available. These updates for the Yoga Tablet 8 and 10 (B6000 and B8000) begin with "A442_001_028"
Please note that if you have several updates to install, the device may only allow you to install two per day and the installation process may take several days to complete.
Thank you,

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?

Harmony has screwed up my Yoga 3 and I can't uninstall it

I have a new Yoga 3 and suddenly Harmony is not working. When I start up I get a window in Asian characters. If I try to open Harmony it hangs on a white screen and I have to force quit the program. If I try to uninstall the program it tells me it's still running and can't uninstall until I quit its processes. I believe I'm quitting all of it's processes and it still says there are processes running. I've tried reinstalling (reinstall, repair and uninstall) right from the Lenovo site and get the same message about it still running. I've set it not to run on startup but it still seems to. When I start the computer it gives the Lenovo startup but then just a black screen. I have to do a hard shut off and then turn back on then it goes right to log in screen. How do I get rid of Harmony and get the computer to run again like it should??

Maybe can refer to this discussion:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Yoga-Flex-Laptops-and/Harmony-App-for-Yoga-3-Pro-high-CPU-consumption/t...
I wonder if your case is caused by .NET during one of the System Update.
To uninstall Harmony users have to kill two Harmony processes ”Lenovo.HarmonyPicks.exe” and “Lenovo.HarmonySetting.exe” in the Processes tab of Task Manager .
Actually our App Development team is working on a fix and expected to be available next week. Users can upgrade Harmony by OKO - OneKey Optimizer.

Yoga 13 and Hulu

Anyone having issue playing Hulu Plus videos. I have updated all the drivers on my Win8.1 Yoga 13 and no matter what I try, it will not play Hulu video. Always getting the error that the video drivers are wrong even though they are the latest from Lenovo and Intel(via MS Update), neither work.

My ipad 3 keeps dropping the wifi connection when my android tablet, android phone, and laptop have never had any issues.

I just got a verizon ipad and am having wifi connection problems. It will connect to my wifi but every 5 or 10 minutes it will drop the connection. The only way to get it back is to go and manually connect to it again in the wifi settings.
Is anyone else having this problem? My android tablet and phone and laptop do not have this problem.

It appears hundreds are having this problem. You must not have done a search for this subject before posting. Try a search for "wifi connection problem on iPad 3" and you'll get lots of information regarding this problem and a few suggestions you can try.

The Menu Start and Notification doesn't work and other modern apps too.

Hi guys! I have a big problem of my Windows 10. I can't use my Start Menu, Apps and Notifications it doesn't work. I don't know what is happened. Everthing was good and on the last time I have strange problems. (The Start menu logo looks like disactivated.)
I want to add that the OneDrive can't work too and I can't turn on it.
[Im sorry for mistakes. I'm still learing English :)]

Yoga 10 wifi connection stability / loose router contact

I use my yoga 10 on several locations where the different routers are set to the same network id/password. The issue applies to all locations (ie different routers of different make).
The yoga 10 connects well to wifi when turned on (blue wifi notification), but looses connection within a minute or so (wifi notification dark gray).
The (not so) quick workaround is to
- open settings (scroll finger from notification area) - here WLAN is green
- Turn WLAN off (gray)
- Turn WLAN on (green again)
- Close quick settings
- Wait for WiFi notofication to turn white, then blue
and browse for about a minute again - then repeat.
What makes the Yoga 10 to loose connection ?
Why does it not reconnect automatically ?
How to fix ?
PS WiFi connection is 3-4 bars, mostly 4 (=100%)

Same problem here on yoga 8, wireless routers with same SSID and password in different locations will suddenly disconnect and appear out of range. Most times I have to forget the ssid, turn off Wlan, reboot the router then switch on wlan and set up the connection again. This is not a minor glitch and does not happen on any of my other android devices, I was hoping the 4.4.2-01-021 build would fix this but no such luck. I really like the yoga 8 design but along with other stupid basic problems I.e.google maps I'm begining to think I've brought a polished turd.

In iCal and Notifications on a notebook, is it possible to expand the notes window to make it easier to read and write notes?

In iCal and Notifications on a notebook, is it possible to expand the notes window to make it easier to read and write notes? In the past, I have used Outlook calendar and tasks and I was able to expand the windows which allowed me to put a great amount of details into either the notes section in events and tasks. It would be great to be able to do this in iCal and Notifications as well. I am using a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.8. Thank you very much for assistance with this.

I can not send email from my iPad . Have been using it for over a year, all of a sudden I can only receive email. I have a wifi connection in my home and have a A T &T cellular data plan?

I can not send email from my iPad . Have been using it for over a year, all of a sudden I can only receive email. I have a wifi connection in my home and have a A T &T cellular data plan?

I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
Anyone???

On 3G we cannot send emails from either our iPhones or iPad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all. Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Email account. What is causing this and what do we need to do to resolve it?

On 3G we cannot send Business emails from either our iPhones or Ipad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all. Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Account using both 3G and WiFi.
We bought the iPhones and Ipad so that we could send emails while we are out of the Office, but we are not able to do this unless we can find a WiFi connection. Incoming emails are fine. We use IMAP, for Business emails just incase this is relevant and I know that Hotmail is POP3.
Our technical IT knowledge is not great, so we look forward to your suggestions as to how to resolve this.

Contact whomever supports the email account and get the correct Outgoing email server settings from them.

Poor battery life and WiFi connectivity on iPhone 5s

I have bought a new iPhone 5s 16GB running iOS 8.1.2 3 days ago. The device that I have got has a poor battery life and WiFi connectivity. I have tried lots of methods given on the internet like turned off the auto-brightness, reset the phone to default settings.
Then contacted the Apple Care for battery issue. They asked for the diagnostics to check the problem. They said its happening because of the crash of inbuilt app Springboard asked me to try "Set up as new iPhone". Even after doing all these, I am still getting battery not more than 4 hours.
This is not expected from Apple. Such an awful experience on my first iPhone buying.

Where exactly did you buy this new 5S?
